Every major car manufacturer's most iconic model

Every major car manufacturer's most iconic model presents a staff-voted Autocar ranking of vehicles considered “iconic” for reasons such as cultural impact or how they embody a brand’s identity. The article says 50 manufacturers are represented, arranged alphabetically, and notes readers are invited to disagree with the selections. It begins with the AC Cobra, originally devised by Carroll Shelby with the idea of fitting a Ford Windsor V8 under the bonnet; production started in 1962 and a new Cobra is described as due for sale later in 2023. Next, the piece highlights the Alpine A110, which it says evolved from a 1960s Renault-component car into a rally-winning machine, culminating in the 1973 World Rally Championship. It then covers the Alfa Romeo GTAm, produced by Autodelta as a homologation special, and references its 1970 European championship win with Toine Hezemans. The article also introduces the Austin Seven as its chosen representative for Austin.
