When this elegant grand tourer first came out in 1990, it was arguably the most technologically advanced road-going car of all time. In the top trim level, it was powered by a 375-hp, 5.6-liter V12 engine and featured four-wheel steering among other innovative solutions. What car are we talking about?

The original BMW 8 Series was a real engineering breakthrough. It was one of the first cars ever to be designed using computer software and gave Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Mercedes cars a run for their money. And the top-of-the-line 850CSi was its ultimate version. Thanks to the huge V12, it sprinted from 0 to 60 in only 5.9 seconds - an impressive number even today.
