The Pink Pig *
The "Pig" was certainly not designed to be pretty even if it was a brilliant exercise in aerodynamics.
Initially set to make its debut in Martini livery, legend has it that after Count Rossi took a look at the unusually shaped racing car, he refused to let it race in the famous red and blue stripes.
Porsche then decided to go with the pink butcher-style livery to make sure it didn't go unnoticed at the race track.
Although it was a one-off experimental race car, the Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig" (or Truffle Hunter) became a legend for its surprising participation at the 1971 Le Mans.

The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was the top first-generation 911 and is considered by many Porschephiles to be the best of them all, which, when you talk about 911's is saying a lot. Unsurprisingly, the RennSport was initially built for racing homologation and was a fast car even by today's standards - 0/100 in 5.5s and a top speed of 240 km/h - much due to the extreme weight loss tricks that the Stuttgart boys came up with.
The extraordinary ducktail rear spoiler, the resurrection of the Carrera name from the '50s and its rally and track achievements all contributed to make this a very remarkable 911 among a long list of noteworthy 911's.
More recently, this once epitome of sports cars has become famous for the somewhat ridiculous prices it consistently reaches at car auctions, even being considered a few years ago as the best (legal) investment of the decade, with upwards of 700% appreciations.
We can't guarantee that the socks will have similar growth in value, but we're keeping them in their original packaging until 2040 just in case.

Although it was first released more than 60 years ago, Porsche has always been able to keep the 911 on the cutting edge of auto engineering, design, and driving experience. A true automotive icon if there's ever been one. The RSR was the racing version that made a name for itself in competitions like the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

People call it Scooby, Scoob, Subie, Rex, Zetza, Scooboxer, regardless, not many cars reach the status of having a worldwide nickname - let alone several of them.Some love it for its brilliant handling and performance, others hate it for its garish looks, but the Subaru Impreza is just one of those cars.Here at Heel Tread, we are shameless fans of the Scooby, especially the first one; the one that Colin McRae piloted to Rally Legend in its 555 liveries, with metallic blue and fluorescent graphics.

An underdog by all accounts, the Toyota Celica GT-Four was the car that effectively ended the European domain of the WRC, becoming the first Japanese competitor to race with a turbocharged AWD car and grabbing wins and titles like no other before it. The ST185 with the Toyota Castrol livery became the most iconic version, with Carlos Sainz being the pilot that most consistently drove it to victory.

Remember that time, Volvo went crazy and raced an estate?
We do too!
In the early 90's someone at Volvo thought it would be smart if they were no longer safe and boring and were now sporty and cool. Fast forward to 1994 and the 850 estate starts competing in the British Touring Car Championship. The first estate to compete in touring car championships was never overly successful on the track. And you'd probably be surprised to remember that it only lasted a season and was replaced the next year by the sedan due to regulation changes - it's never easy for those who dare to be different...
Nevertheless, its uniqueness and charisma made it arguably the most iconic BTCC car ever - just seeing one (often on two wheels) on the track takes us back. The fact that even today it's still regularly mentioned and makes special appearances in recent Goodwood's is proof enough of the impact it's one season in the BTCC had in motorsport fans.
That and the fact they raced it with giant stuffed dogs on the back to annoy the competition.
That's the stuff legends are made of.
