duPont REGISTRY 40th Anniversary – Cover Cars: 1996

by Tyler Rampersaud
June 2, 2025
in Magazine

After 40 years, duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars capture moments in automotive history.

This year, duPont REGISTRY, the source for supercars since 1985, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. In that time, some of the world’s most desirable, iconic, and influential luxury and exotic cars have graced the cover of our magazine over the past 40 years, and together, the cover cars of duPont REGISTRY’s hundreds of monthly issues tell a story of automotive history and its evolution since the ‘80s.

Looking back at duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars from the year 1996, some serious nostalgia is stirred up for any automotive enthusiast, and each year, a cover car shows an iconic moment of the past, when a car we see as a classic today was the hottest new creation on the market. Take a trip down memory lane and look at our 1996 magazine covers below, and continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary by buying a copy of our special 40th anniversary edition magazine.

Buy Our 40th Anniversary Issue

Cover Cars: duPont REGISTRY magazine, January 1996—red Lamborghini Diablo VT on the cover; classic sports cars line the top and bottom borders, celebrating automotive excellence.

January – Lamborghini Diablo “VTTT”

Two extra “t”s designate the fact that this Lamborghini on the January 1996 cover of duPont REGISTRY is something truly special. An example of the all-wheel drive Diablo VT, something rare in the world of supercars at the time, the twin-turbo upgrade given to this specific Diablo gives it hair-raising performance.


Cover Cars: February 1996 duPont REGISTRY magazine featuring a red BMW Z3 convertible and images of various classic cars along the bottom edge.

February – BMW Z3

BMW’s legendary Z3, an icon of beauty and fun-to-drive character, starred on duPont REGISTRY’s February 1996 cover, already building its legacy as a weekend driving masterpiece.


Cover Cars: duPont REGISTRY magazine, March 1996—showcasing a green Mercedes-Benz and a white Harley-Davidson on a striking black background, with "CHOICES" at the bottom. A classic issue for automotive enthusiasts.

March – Mercedes-Benz SL

Presented with “choices” in March 1996, the cover of duPont REGISTRY begs the question: would you rather drive a stunning ’90s Mercedes-Benz SL, or a classic-inspired motorcycle?


Cover of the April 1996 duPont REGISTRY magazine featuring a yellow sports car illustration with palm trees, Cover Cars, 11th Anniversary Collectors Edition text, and images of cars along the bottom.
4.0.3

April – Porsche 911

The Porsche 911 was solidified as an April, or Anniversary Issue staple for the cover of duPont REGISTRY in 1996, and this gorgeous 993-generation Porsche 911 set against rows of palm trees is no exception.


Cover of the May 1996 duPont REGISTRY magazine featuring two views of a red Lamborghini Diablo VT, with smaller images of Cover Cars along the top and bottom borders.

May – Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster

The all-wheel drive, open-top flagship supercar roadster from Lamborghini, the Diablo VT Roadster, was shown off with front and rear three-quarter shots on our May 1996 cover.


Cover Cars: The June 1996 duPont REGISTRY magazine features a striking front view of a red Ferrari F40 with a yellow signature, celebrating the 40th Anniversary.
4.0.3

June – Ferrari F40

Emblazoned with the signature of baseball star Reggie Jackson, the legendary Ferrari F40 is shown off on our June 1996 cover, a cherished and mythical example of Ferrari’s performance engineering mettle.


Cover of duPont REGISTRY July 1996 showcases two blue Chevrolet Corvettes, celebrating the 40th Anniversary, against a stylized American flag background, with "KERBECK" license plate visible—truly iconic Cover Cars.

July – Chevrolet Corvette

Kitted in matching patriotic liveries, the Corvette in two different ears is shown off on our July 1996 cover, as was par for the course.


Magazine cover celebrating the 40th Anniversary, featuring two red Ferrari Testarossa Cover Cars on a yellow background, with text highlighting 400+ Italian cars for sale in the August 1996 duPont REGISTRY.

August – Ferrari Testarossa

Both eras of the Ferrari Testarossa nomenclature are shown on our August 1996 cover, both the historic racer and the retro supercar, that, while discontinued by the time the cover debuted, was already an icon like any Ferrari.


Cover Cars: September 1996 duPont REGISTRY magazine featuring red and silver Jaguar XK8s, "Jaguar of Troy" headline, and classic cars at the bottom, celebrates Jaguar’s 40th Anniversary.

September – Jaguar XK8

An icon of Jaguar’s grand touring luxury at the time, the incredibly elegant XK8, whose sleek design still holds up today in a way not dissimilar to the legendary E-type, was the cover star of duPont REGISTRY’s September 1996 cover.


Cover of the October 1996 duPont REGISTRY magazine featuring a Blue Angels-themed exotic sports car in front of a Blue Angels US Navy jet, with smaller Cover Cars images at the bottom.

October – Vector Avtech WX-3

Successor to the infamous Vector W8, America’s incredibly ambitious groundbreaking supercar, the WX-3 prototype never made it to series production and only saw two examples made. Nevertheless, it’s depicted with a patriotic livery on our October 1996 cover.


Cover of duPont REGISTRY magazine, November 1996, celebrating the 40th Anniversary with a black Bentley Continental T as the star Cover Car, a large Bentley logo, and smaller sports car images featured at the bottom.

November – Bentley Continental T

Bentley’s ultra-luxurious British excellence took over the November 1996 cover of duPont REGISTRY, with the historic brand’s Continental T gracing the cover.


Cover Cars: December 1996 duPont REGISTRY magazine, featuring a red Porsche Boxster convertible with a holiday theme and images of other cars at the bottom for its 40th Anniversary issue.
4.0.3

December – Porsche Boxster

A different kind of Porsche graces the December 1996 cover of duPont REGISTRY than the typical 911s of years past: the Boxster. Introduced that year in 1996, the Boxster introduced a new era of mid-engined Porsche sports cars to the fray, with a design that would eventually be echoed on the eventual 996 911 that would end the air-cooled 911 era. That era of mid-engined Porsche sports cars is only ending now, lasting nearly 30 years.


Our special 40th anniversary issue is out now! Along with everything that makes each duPont REGISTRY issue a must-read, this special commemorative issue features looks back on duPont REGISTRY’s history, like a look back on our covers throughout the decades, and a retrospective look at Ferrari’s halo car legacy.
