Then there’s the Lamborghini Diablo, the demonic supercar that found itself between a rock and a hard-place – Countach and Murcielago – throughout the 1990s. That’s not to say the Diablo didn’t have a trick or two up its sleeve. It was the first Lamborghini to exceed 200mph (320kph), boar a 5.7l V12 – or in this GT’s case, a 533hp 6.0l V12 – and sold over 600 examples. The more exclusive GT model stayed put at 80.

If we’re talking power though, this Bel Air drag Chevrolet offers some seriously stiff competition: close to 409bhp from a 4.6l V8 is hardly something to sniff at when you’re line-astern on the drag strip.

But for a true sense of nostalgia, this Bentley Blower – sorry, Bentley 4½ Litre – from the late-1920s does the trick nicely. Powered by a 175hp 4,4l straight-four, speed remained relatively modest thanks largely to the Bentley’s enormous 1625kg body weight. The track-ready 240hp Blower (with a supercharger thrown in for good measure) was another story, however, and would go on to break numerous speed records. Most famously at Brooklands in 1932 when it hit 222kph. With no seatbelts!

Unsurprisingly at the home of the British Grand Prix, the motorsport aficionados weren’t left wanting. Taking time out from the sometimes British sunshine were these EB Motorsport RSR twins. Special lightweight body panels and retuned engine mapping means EB Motorsport Porsche 911s are fast becoming the weapons of choice for heritage racing events throughout Europe.
