Post-Classic Era & Contemporary Vehicle Projects at Finch
Historical Context
The Post-Classic Era (1991-2010) marks a transformative period in automotive history, where performance, safety, and technology rapidly advanced to create vehicles that bridged the gap between analog driving experiences and modern digital integration. This era saw the widespread adoption of computerised engine management, variable valve timing, all-wheel drive systems, and lightweight composite materials.
Legendary supercars such as the McLaren F1, Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT, and Bugatti Veyron showcased extreme performance, while sports cars like the Mazda RX-7 FD, Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, and BMW E46 M3 cemented their place in enthusiast culture. Meanwhile, the rise of luxury sedans from Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Bentley introduced adaptive suspension, high-end infotainment, and early driver-assistance systems.
The Contemporary Era (2011-Present) continues this trend, with hypercars, electrification, and autonomous technologies reshaping the automotive landscape. Vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, Tesla Model S Plaid, Rimac Nevera, and Koenigsegg Jesko push the boundaries of speed and efficiency. Additionally, hybrid and electric powertrains are becoming mainstream, influencing everything from daily commuters to high-performance sports cars.
As automotive technology continues to evolve, the focus on sustainability, connectivity, and automation defines the vehicles of the modern era, with manufacturers integrating advanced AI, augmented reality dashboards, and full electrification into their latest designs.
