The idea of a super-sedan is not new. The idea of a luxurious, smooth, four-door sedan being blisteringly fast was tinkered with by manufacturers such as Jaguar in the late 50s and 60s—resulting in cars like the Mark 2, which effectively took Jaguar away from pure sports cars and into the luxury-sports car market, where they've stayed to date. With time, the Germans came to the forefront—cars like the Benz 300 SEL 6.3 and first-gen BMW M5 cemented Germany's reputation for building fast, luxurious sports sedans.

TLVN RX7

Tomica Limited Vintage Neo—an expensive proposition when it comes to 1/64 scale cars, but so worth it, you're willing to break the bank for a select few models. For me, the Mazda RX7 is in that category.
