The cars industry began to invent the revolutionary idea of super cars by mid 40’s. Mercedes and Aston Martin were one of the first manufactures to build these kind of cars. Nowadays, nearly all of the cars manufactures build super cars. Even Toyota with their latest Lexus LFA “F type” super car. All of this industry would not be a life today if there were no interest for these kind of products. Recently, more and more super cars fan began to build their own version due to the cost of well finished packaging and the enjoyment of the mechanic part of the process.
The cost of buying a brand new or used super car is very expensive to rich not to mention middle class people. For example, used Ferrari might cost a person well over 250k $ which is not affordable for most of our society. Nonetheless, these prices can not hold car enthusiasts from finding their way to own a super car. Thus, cars enthusiasts starts their project by using their own cars as a base. This would help the them to reduce the cost of buying new car then modify it. Then, they buy the parts needed by themselves from ...
design made the car very strong and durable that is one main reason you see many
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.
Perhaps the two most commonly known cars, the Chevy Camaro and the Ford Mustang, are the perfect examples of innovation. Each comes with sleek new body styles and a variety of different sports packages. New sports cars such as the 2015 Mustang, unlike the classic "kings" such as the, 1969 Mach Mustang, are not only faster, but are built better, and much more aerodynamic.
The world of technology is ever changing and advancing. With the automotive industry in play technology is constantly surpassing what is available today with what can be done for tomorrow. Technology and the automotive industry go hand in hand with constant improvement to components of cars. Due to technology advancement there is competition within the car industry, especially between American car companies and European car companies. European car companies provide their buyers with innovative variety and revolutionary luxuries. European car technology is superior to American car technology due to their safety, entertainment, and luxury features.
The most important thing that differentiates supercars from normal cars was that supercars were light and normal cars were heavy. My favorite supercar is the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento which weighs around 2,200 pounds. A normal car would be an Audi A5 which weighs around 3,500 pounds. The reason the Sesto Elemento weighs around 1,300 pounds lighter than the A5 is because the Lamborghini
BMW has captured the attention of automobile drivers from all around the world with their “Ultimate Driving Machine.” The BMW Company was originally established in Germany and has extended nationally reaching over 12 countries. With Germany and the United States being the top two target countries, BMW has established their products as a combination of luxury, safety, and comfort with product lines to suit all styles of living.

BMW has created a trustworthy name for the automobiles they produce and has all the potential to continue their success in the future.
By the mid-20th century, America’s top three auto manufacturers — General Motors (GM), Ford and Chrysler — produced approximately two-thirds of all cars sold in the world. This global dominance continued until the early 1970s. In the world today there are billions of cars on the earth, and no matter what condition the best car in the world is in, it will always need to be worked on and improved. With that being said, that opens up a demanding market for men and women who can fix, repair, refinish, and customize vehicles roaming the streets today. To perform the necessary tasks to be successful in the customizing and repairing industry, one must know the job responsibilities and with the responsibility, comes job advancements. A potential automotive customizer and repairer must also know the educational requirements to be qualified to receive the pay that
Many people like to buy a car for your family in order to fulfill a committed dream. You visit a car dealer showroom where you find many vehicles that are put on display, featuring attractive looks which makes you impatient from buying a one. In a hurry, you make a payment and you ward off with your purchase.
As a result of the increased demand of cars, the competition among car companies is becoming intense. Although the market of car is the biggest growing market in the world, there are still some companies who make cars failing year after year. However, there are some outstanding car companies such as The BMW Group performing distinctly.
One of the very first things a buyer should consider when looking for a car is what kind of car he/she wants. Many different factors can affect the car buying process. For one, the buyer must consider how big of a vehicle he/she wants and safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and working brakes. Itemizing a list of accessories can also help narrow down what kind of car to buy. While some people might prefer a Sedan with a large back seat and seat warmers, others may prefer an extreme luxury car with full stereo systems and miniature televisions. Every person has different tastes in accessories; luckily, there is a vehicle that can fit almost every personality. Most new models have the latest technology installed, although some of the “newer” used cars have the option of adding in those accessories. Once the...

Cars general work with the engine turning over from the driver using their key which makes the four piston strokes start. Once that happens, it starts moving getting hot and while that is happening, it moves the transmission belt which moves the alternator, and the alternator starts generating power through kinetic energy which in turns keeps the battery powered so you don’t lose power while driving. After the engine does that then power is supplied to the various computers in the car which gets it started moving. The steering wheel is attached to a steering column and the several other parts of the steering linkage so steering is possible. The brakes have two different types on the front there can usually be disc rotors which work by the rotor being mounted on the rotor hub and held in place with the mounting bracket on the mounting bracket are brake pads which squeeze the rotor which cause the car slow down or stop. The brakes on the rear are drum brakes which are similar to disc brakes, but they have brake shoes which expand to stop or slow down the car. This is not always true though some cars just have disc brakes and some older cars have drum brakes the reason for this is because disc is more reliable than drum brakes. Of course after all that you would remove the key and it would then stop the engine and the belt from turning and then the majority of the electrical stuff turns off except for the battery.

Cars are the ultimate symbol of independence and individualism. They offer more than freedom. No other man made creation but car fulfills a man’s ego. Technology has been the evidence of how cars have evolved for about more than a century now. From a first car packing a single cylinder 958cc, 0.75hp engine to today’s most powerful 8000cc W16, 1300bhp Veyron. We live in such an engineering savvy era where even an increase of few grams in a vehicle’s weight means going back to the drawing board to get unerring dynamic performance. And for these exuberant reasons, mechanical engineering was a mere choice rather than a chance for me.
In today’s society when you think about super extravagant, high end, luxurious vehicles, what top of the line automotives can you actually think of that comes to mind? If you guessed correctly it would actually be no other than “The Mercedes Benz”. Mercedes Benz is known to man as one of the finest cars of luxury dated back to the late 1800. In 1886 Karl Benz invented the first horseless tricycle. Later on in the early 1900’s both Karl Benz and Gottlieb Dailmer whom were both born in Germany teamed up and branded the first “Mercedes”, which was known as the first automobile which was also developed by William Maybach. Also known for the first car with four wheels
