Some of the cars that made it to the list have long since gone out of production, but still roam the roads or rest in collector garages.
Most of the names are still in use, although they turn 60 and even 70 this year, which is worthy of respect.
But unfortunately for many of them, the next decade will certainly be the last – they will be replaced by electric vehicles.
1. Chevrolet Corvette – 70 years
Let’s start with the long-liver – the 70th anniversary of the Chevrolet Corvette. I must say that at first the modeling career did not work out. In the early years of production, GM was on the verge of scrapping the project. But in 2023, the Corvette is the most lively. The demand for it is huge. The Z06 is a real supercar killer.
2. Porsche 911 – 60 years old
The Porsche 911 officially went on sale in 1965, but the premiere took place in the autumn of 1963. Then it was called 901. After 60 years, not much has changed on the car. The engine is still placed behind the rear axle, although the current Carrera with 385 hp. much faster than the 130 hp 2-litre predecessor.
3. Honda – 60 years
Honda was founded in 1946, but only produced its first car in 1963. It was a small T360 pickup, built according to Japanese kei micro-car canons.
4. Lamborghini – 60 years
The Lamborghini as we know it did not emerge until the 1966 Geneva Motor Show with the introduction of the Miura sports car. But the company itself dates back to 1963, when the 350 prototype was introduced. GTV with engine in the front. He didn’t enter the series, just his engine (a 3.5-litre V12 with two overhead camshafts per row instead of one in Ferrari).
5. Caterham – 50 years
The Seven sports car celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2017, but this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Caterham Seven name. Colin Chapman sold the rights to the car to Caterham in 1973 when he decided to invest in Lotus.
