Chapter one
The one that started the stampede.
Unveiled at the New York World's Fair on April 17, 1964, it invented a whole category overnight. People still call it the pony car.
Atlanta Motor Gallery
Sixty years of speed from three countries, lit like a gallery and parked inside the Perimeter.
The collection
Some cars are bought. These were chosen. A Dearborn original, an Ohio-built hybrid and a grand tourer from Maranello: three answers to the same question, kept under one roof on Atlanta's Westside.
1965 Ford Mustang
Dearborn, Michigan · United States
Chapter one
Unveiled at the New York World's Fair on April 17, 1964, it invented a whole category overnight. People still call it the pony car.
289cu in
In K-code "Hi-Po" trim the 289 made 271 horsepower. It revs high, sounds glorious and has no electronics to hide behind.
Proportion
Every pony car since has borrowed that silhouette. It still turns heads at a light on Peachtree.
Configure
Period-correct 1965 paint. Tap a swatch and the car changes on the floor.
2019 Honda NSX
Marysville, Ohio · Sold here as the Acura NSX
Chapter two
A twin-turbo V6 and three electric motors, hand-assembled at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio.
573hp combined
One motor sits between the engine and gearbox. Two more drive the front wheels on their own, pulling the nose into corners.
9speed dual-clutch
Gears change in milliseconds and torque-vectoring works quietly underneath. It feels less like a hybrid and more like a very fast conversation.
Configure
2019 model-year paint, including the Thermal Orange this car wears.
2020 Ferrari Roma
Maranello · Italy
Chapter three
Unveiled in Rome in November 2019, it chose a long, clean line over a spoiler. It is the quiet one in the room.
620cv
The V8 sits behind the front axle and sends 612 horsepower to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch.
3.4sec · 0–100 km/h
Almost none of that speed is needed on I-85. That is rather the point.
Configure
Five classic Maranello colours, from Rosso Corsa to Nero Daytona.
