Sports cars look smart, are fast and girls love it. What more could a guy ask for? Unlike what many seem to think, sports cars are not a gift of modernization. The concept and dream of making cool sports cars started way back in the 1920s with many automobile manufacturing starting to make development plans. However, it was only in the 1960s that the first batch of good cars rolled out on the streets. Not so surprisingly, some of them are still remembered by vivid enthusiasts who marvel in the thoughts of how sitting behind their wheels felt like.

To tell the truth, cool sports cars are not meant for regular use. These are cars which are considered to be more of a status symbol. They come expensive in terms of initial costs as well as maintenance and the people who own them stand out in the crowd. They are fast and luxurious, two properties that would be very difficult to find in an average car.

When talking about sports cars, the first name that comes to anyone's mind is Ferrari. True to its word, it has launched a series of cars that are more than just breathtaking. It is a pioneer in designing the sleek, smart and stylish vehicles. Being a front running in the sport of Formula 1, there is little to complain about in their expertise in making top quality engines that can deliver powers like none others.

In the league of cars that are available for the regular roads, F340 is considered to be its flagship car. Launched in red color, this two-seater has undergone a lot of changes since the time it was first put on sale. Over the years, its features have been enhanced, its outlook changed; in short, it has undergone major reengineering. As of now, while it may not be the fastest on the road, it sure is one of the coolest sports cars known and is also one of the most sought after ones. The top speed gets compensated by wonderful looks and performance that is very hard to match. It comes at a cost of $160,000, which is nominal for a car of this caliber.

Another sports car by Ferrari is The Superamerica. True to its name, the car is more than just a powerhouse. A V12 engine resides below the hood and has the capability to outperform even the best in its competition. It is different from the rest in terms of its gears with the paddles located on the sheering just like in Formula 1 cars. It comes at a whopping $300,000 and is a complete delight to own and flaunt.

There are a number of other manufacturers that have been able to give some stiff competition to Ferrari. Some names include the likes of Mercedes, Dodge, and Audi etc. all of whom have come up with their set of sports cars. However, Ferrari has been become a household name, enjoys the number 1 position in the industry and is expected to do so in the times to come.
