Though modern exotics can easily top 200 and even 250 MPH, it’s no easy feat to do the sesquicentennial in an unmodified factory stock car. Yet a number of cars from all over the world can hit that speed, and the May 2014 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car rounds up a few of them, including the BMW 850CSi, which Terry Shea took for a spin and Mark McCourt profiles.
In addition to the BMW driveReport, Mark found a few bargain V-12s for those aspiring for speed on a budget; Jeff Koch slipped behind the wheel of a 1988 Nissan 300ZX Turbo, another 150-capable car; Jim Donnelly chats with the owner of an unrestored Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS; and Mike Bumbeck tells potential buyers of De Tomaso Panteras what they need to know.
