◇ The 1969 Pontiac Farago CF 428 is a one off prototype commissioned by John DeLorean, then head of Pontiac, and designed by his friend, the Italian American engineer and designer Paul Farago. The letters CF stand for Coggiola and Farago. It was built in Italy by the coachbuilder Carrozzeria Coggiola as a styling exercise to launch the firm.

◇ The car combines distinct European GT styling with raw American muscle. It features a Pontiac Grand Prix chassis and a massive 428 cubic inch V8 engine producing roughly 390 horsepower. The car is beautiful. It is also powerful. A blend of Italian design and American engineering.

◇ The Farago CF 428 is a piece of automotive history. A car that could have been. A car that was never produced. A reminder that the best designs are not always the ones that make it to production. Sometimes they are the ones that inspire.

Three icons. Three V8s. One winner. 👀🔥

Before 700+ horsepower became the norm, these were some of the baddest American performance sedans money could buy.

🔴 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8
• 6.1L HEMI V8
• 425 HP

⚫ 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP
• 6.2L LS3 V8
• 415 HP
• One-year-only production

⚪ 2009 Cadillac CTS-V
• Supercharged 6.2L LSA V8
• 556 HP
• Nearly 200 mph top speed

Each brought something different to the table. The Charger delivered classic HEMI muscle, the G8 GXP became an instant collector’s car, and the CTS-V shocked the world by taking on Europe’s best performance sedans.

If all three were sitting in your driveway with the keys in them… which one are you grabbing and why? 👇

Bunkie Knudsen became Pontiac general manager in July 1956. Starting with the 1957 model year he would set Pontiac Motor Division on an entirely new course, the path of high performance. Bunkie was a huge fan of auto racing, and in just a few years he would turn Pontiac into a high performance division of General Motors. In the Fall of 1956, Bunkie hired Ray Nichels to lead Pontiac's NASCAR effort. Pontiac's first NASCAR win came just a few months later at Daytona Beach in February 1957. Bunkie was very proud of this accomplishment. This ad shows (from left to right); Ray Nichels, Bunkie Knudsen, Harley Earl, Cotton Owens (winning driver), NASCAR vice president Mike Womer, and NASCAR president Bill France. - MCN
