Vertical contour headlamps of the Porsche is taken from the 60's and 70's racing car concept. Besides this, long air intakes of the Boxster are responsible for the grunting of the engine, as it transports ample air to the engine bay. Priceless lines and the stretched silhouette of the car adds to the aerodynamic factor of the vehicle. Smoked LED tail lights and redesigned rear apron gives the Boxster a even more sportier and wider look.

This cross drilled discs enhances the fuel economy and performance of the vehicle, due its light weight concept. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) comes as standard in the GTS, which enhances the stability of the vehicle by altering the damping forces according to the road gradient. Porsche Stability Management (PSM) comes incorporated with automatic brake differential and anti-slip management that coordinates the engine speed and braking force of the Boxster, thus enhancing the stability while maneuvering critical corners. Aluminum and steel composite light weight body structure of the car holds ample strength to bear impacts, at the same time air bags packed to the interior allows you to escape severe injuries during crash. Composite construction of the roll-over protection creates a survival space in th event of
NASCAR introduced roof flaps in 1994. The purpose of the roof flap is to help keep the car down, when it spins out. Due to high speeds after a car spun out backwards the car was able to catch air underneath it, managing the car to fly through the air and flip over. Another piece on modern cars today is having a spoiler on the rear end. The spoiler helps keeps the air push down on the car for maximum down force. This helps the tires to stay on the ground for more traction to the track. But this does take out some of the speed the cars do possess.

Due to the growing prevalence of stock car racing, muscle cars came into power during the 1960s, which has become known as the Golden Age of Muscle. Lasting from 1960 to 1972, muscle cars enjoyed over a decade of power, and, regrettably, a four decade hibernation. In the past six years, muscle cars have reemerged in the form of the Charger, Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro. The new cars’ styling pays tribute to their Golden Age predecessors. This is the new muscle car age, with competition and corporate pride higher than ever.
There was always a demand for trucks with the comfort of a passenger car, or a passenger car with the load capacity of a truck. In response to this demand Ford released the Ranchero in 1957. To compete with Ford’s Ranchero, Chevrolet created the El Camino whose first release occurred in 1959. Over the years, Chevy has made several modifications to the El Camino to improve performance and style. Since Chevy stopped producing the El Camino in 1987, it has become a collectible classic. This essay will focus on several of the engine and body modifications that were made between 1957 and 1987.
the beginning of the twentieth century. Moreover, it explains the differences between hybrid cars and standard cars. Also, it mentioned some
There is another rumor that just will not die surrounding Porsche. It is said that they will be bringing back a familiar numeric name; the 718; after the world renowned racecar. It might even carry the recently trademarked GT5 classification. Though thus far it is not known how it would enter the market (assuming it ever does). It would be definitely be the new entry level Porsche if it is released. However, it could accomplish that feat in two different ways. Either it could meld the Cayman and Boxster together into one entry level model dubbed the 718, or it could sit below Boxster at the base of the totem.
(Albright, 2008, pp. 1) carried out a case study on the Mercedes Benz’s All Activity Vehicle (AAV) that the company developed as one of the new vehicle models it introduced into the market to counter the negative performance results it posted in the wake of the early 1990s recession that led to a dip in its sales and consequent losses.
The main focus in building and designing a successful race car is making it aerodynamically efficient. However, at the same time, the car must be versatile, durable, safe, and most important, fast. The challenge for the design team is to create car that can race on any type of track, weather it be on tight corners or long straight-aways. The aerodynamics of the race car is multi-functional. The first purpose is to make it as streamline as possible. The second purpose is to provide downforce for the race vehicle. The last reason is to control the airflow over the car’s body.
For as long as there have been roads to drive on, Americans have had a love affair with their cars and trucks. Ever since consumers became interested in car design and styling in the 1920s, the car manufactures have invested in innovation to quench the thirst of the American car buyer (Pauwels, Silva-Risso, Srinivasan, and Hassens, 2004, p. 143). When I was young, September was the time of year when the car manufactures showcased the new models, generating excitement and of course new sales.
“100 Years of Performance”, this is what has been said about Camaros and Corvettes alike. These vehicles are accustomed to upgraded handling, higher horsepower engines, and stickier rubber wrapped around bigger tires. Larger brakes have been applied to get you down the fastest from the extreme speeds these machines can produce. The exquisite aerodynamics of the body styles provide an incredible amount of downforce at high speeds to help keep the driver stick to the tarmac. All of attributes, coupled with an experienced driver, provide the ultimate driving experience. The best part
Porsche came out with the models of 914 and 944 because they take the consumers with lower income into account during the recession of 1970s. They redesign, reposition and reprice the vehicles so that it is allow the consumers to purchase the product for the purpose of social class, family needs or status. With this, Porsche still able to create loyal customers even if the economic situation did affected their business when they have considered their customers’ personal income, savings and interest

There are many different kinds of vehicles on the road, but the ones that stand out the most are muscle cars and sports cars. Their unique design and body styles will catch people’s attention wherever they go. The Ford Mustang, a high performing muscle car introduced in 1964, is the most notable muscle car on the streets. It is most known for its unique body design with a long hood and short, rear decks. Their high performing V8 engines make their exhausts have a really deep, loud growl. When you think of sports cars, the first that comes to mind is the Chevrolet Corvette. Its sleek body style paired with its ability to stick to the ground around corners, makes it a very notable sports car in America. The two most iconic versions of these
To ensure stable handling, electric power steering works effectively with suspension system comprising MacPherson strut, coil spring in front and twist beam with coil spring in rear. With improved water wading capabilities the car is efficient enough in getting rid of flooded lanes and pit holes, the telescopic double acting hydraulic shock absorber helps in doing so. The discs brakes are further accompanied with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution System (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) to provide effective braking in varied
