Secret Lineage - There’s a certain magic in the way Ferrari tells its stories—not through words, but through the roar of engines and the spirit of experimentation. Some of those stories are told loudly, like the triumph of the Ferrari Enzo, while others remain buried deep within the archives of Maranello. One of those hidden chapters carries the name Muletto M3, a car that never wore its fame but quietly carried the weight of a legend in the making. It wasn’t built to dazzle collectors or dominate racetracks; it was built to discover what Ferrari could become next.

In the late 1990s, Ferrari’s engineers faced a challenge that was as thrilling as it was daunting: creating a successor to the F50. The world of supercars was rapidly evolving, and Ferrari’s ambitions went far beyond producing another fast machine. They wanted to bring the precision and intensity of Formula 1 engineering to the streets—a vision known internally as the FX project. But before the Ferrari Enzo could ever make its grand debut, it needed a secret partner: a prototype that could take all the punishment of experimentation and refinement. That prototype became the Muletto M3.
The Maranello-based premium automaker, Ferrari, built three prototypes for the Enzo’s development—M1, M2, and the most ambitious M3, which carried the all-new V12 engine that would ultimately define the Enzo. (Picture from: FerrisCars)
Unlike most test vehicles, the M3 didn’t start from a blank slate. It was born from a Ferrari 348, a model that by then had been overshadowed by the newer F355 and 360 Modena. The decision was both practical and brilliant—the 348’s mid-engine layout offered balance, accessibility, and room for radical modification. What rolled out of the factory was no ordinary 348 anymore.

The chassis was stretched, the rear end elongated to make room for a monstrous 6.0-liter V12 engine, known as the Tipo F140. Reinforced subframes supported the added power, while new aerodynamic panels and expanded side vents kept the beast cool. The once sleek and balanced proportions of the 348 gave way to something raw, muscular, and purposeful—a Frankenstein creation, but unmistakably Ferrari at heart.

Three prototypes were built for the Enzo’s development: M1, M2, and M3. Among them, the M3was the most ambitious, acting as the carrier for the all-new V12 engine that would later definethe Enzoitself. It wasn’t just a test car; it was a laboratory on wheels. Under its hood, the 680-horsepower powerplant thundered—an early iteration of the F140 family derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 experience. To handle its ferocity, the M3borrowed suspension components and brakes fromthe F355 Challengeand even fitted BBS racing wheels for extra grip.

Inside, the car wore an eclectic mix of Ferrari DNA: a 348’s doors, a modified dash to fitthe 360 Modena’sinstrument panel, and functional simplicity that spoke more of engineering than elegance. When the M3 took to the roads around Maranello in 2000, it must have turned every head that heard its unfiltered V12 scream. To the untrained eye, it was just a strange-looking 348 with a swollen rear end—but those who knew better sensed that something special was happening.

Rumors swirled through the car community, and soon Ferrari had to admit that the mysterious prototype was indeed a test mule for their upcoming hypercar. By 2002, that hypercar emerged as the Ferrari Enzo—a carbon-fiber masterpiece that redefined performance and technology for a generation. Most prototypes like the M3 are doomed to obscurity once their purpose is fulfilled. They’re dismantled, destroyed, or locked away, their stories confined to the memories of engineers. But the Muletto M3 escaped that fate.

It survived, crossing from experiment to artifact. In 2005, Ferrari released it into the world alongside the 400th Enzo ever made, with a promise that it would never be driven legally on public roads. It sold for just under £200,000—a modest sum for a machine that had once been the beating heart of Ferrari’s innovation. Today, the M3 resides within private collections, a ghost of a golden era when Ferrari
tested its limits without hesitation. | 9Y1bE_-uObM |
Its existence reminds us that
progress in performance doesn’t always start with perfection—it starts
with curiosity, with boldness, and with the willingness to turn a humble 348 into a vessel for something extraordinary. The Enzo may have carried the glory, but the Muletto M3 carried the vision. It was never meant to shine under showroom lights, yet its legacy gleams in every Ferrari that came after—a quiet legend that taught Maranello how to build the future. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FERRISCARS | CLASSICDRIVER | AUTOEVOLUTION | WIKIPEDIA ]

Thunder Reborn - Muscle cars have always held a special place in American car culture—raw power, rebellious attitude, and unmistakable style. And while many manufacturers have shifted focus to electric powertrains and futuristic designs, there’s something magnetic about a machine that roars instead of whispers. That’s exactly what the Trans Am 455 Super Duty brings to the table: an unapologetically wild revival of a legend, louder, faster, and meaner than ever.
The Trans Am 455 Super Duty, a modern reincarnation of Pontiac’s glory days with cutting-edge performance and 1,000 horsepower, made its debut at the 2017 New York Auto Show. (Picture from: 1984HereNow24 in X)
Rewinding to the 2017 New York Auto Show, it was easy to assume Dodge’s 840-horsepower Demon would steal the stage. But in one unexpected move, Florida-based Trans Am Worldwide stepped up with a creation that didn’t just compete—it outmuscled everything around it. The Trans Am 455 Super Duty wasn’t just another custom job; it was a statement. A modern reincarnation of Pontiac’s glory days, pumped with cutting-edge performance and a staggering 1,000 horsepower under the hood.

What makes this car even more extraordinary is the foundation it's built on. The Super Duty rides on GM’s Alpha platform, shared by the modern Camaro and Cadillac ATS, giving it a solid, performance-ready backbone. From there, Trans Am Worldwide—led by chief designer and engineer Tom Sawyer along with Swedish designer Bo Zolland—took over. They shaped the car into a modern Firebird Trans Am, complete with sharp lines, iconic hood graphics, and details that pay tribute to the bold character of the original 1970s models.
The

But this isn’t just a good-looking throwback. The body is wrapped in carbon fiber—hood, fenders, front and rear fascias, deck lid, even the spoiler. It’s leaner, lighter, and far more aggressive. The carbon-fiber shaker hood isn’t just for show either; it tops a heavily modified 7.5-liter (455 cubic inches) LT1 V8, built with input from a NASCAR engine builder. Force-fed by a 2.3-liter Magnuson supercharger, the powerplant unleashes a brutal 1,000 horsepower and 1,046 lb-ft of torque. It doesn’t rumble—it explodes.
The Trans Am 455 Super Duty features a cabin designed in-house by TAWW and Swedish designer Bo Zolland, blending old-school vibes with custom craftsmanship, including “455” embroidered headrests on the leather seats.(Picture from: MuscleCarRide)
To help control all that power, the Super Duty comes equipped with 1-inch lowering springs, anti-roll bars, and 20-inch three-piece, 10-spoke wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Every corner of the car is built to deliver both grip and drama, whether on a straightaway or charging into a turn.

Step inside, and the transformation continues. The cabin blends old-school vibes with custom craftsmanship: a Super Duty-specific shifter, “455” embroidery on leather headrests, vintage-inspired air vents, and a bespoke gauge cluster. Every detail serves as a nod to the past while staying firmly planted in the present. Optional features like Brembo performance brakes and T-tops take things even further for those who want to max out their ride, inside and out.

But perhaps the most exciting part of this car’s story is just how rare it is. Only 50 units of the Trans Am 455 Super Duty were produced, each one a tribute to both classic Pontiac performance and modern engineering brilliance. It wasn’t built to chase trends or meet corporate sales targets. It was built because someone believed that muscle cars still had more to give. | Mf4gaIMRt_8 |
Now, nearly a decade later, the Trans Am 455 Super Duty still holds its own—not just as a car, but as a moment in muscle car history. It wasn't just about resurrecting a nameplate; it was about showing the world that raw, untamed power still has a place in an increasingly quiet world. And for anyone lucky enough to have driven—or even seen—one of these machines in the wild, it's clear: some legends never die. They just come back stronger. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TRANSAMWORLDWIDE | 19841HERENOW24 IN X | CARSCOOPS | NEWATLAS | PTTMCARS | LSXMAGAZINE | MOTORAUTHORITY | MUSCLECARRIDE ]
