The Porsche 911 was a series of cars that made history for the great Porsche AG car manufacturers. The Porsche was first produced in 1964, but it was recurrently improved and made more competitive and better looking.

There are several models of 911 that Porsche has to offer: the 911 Carrera, the 911 Carrera S, the 911Carrera Cabriolet, the 911 Targa, 911 Turbo, the 911 GT3 RS, to name but a few.

Basically, the Porsche 911, which is pronounced nine eleven, is a rear engined car and it has a 2-door coupe body style. It is available also in 2-door Convertible or 2-door Targa. (more…)

General Motors manufactures Chevrolet Corvette in their Kentucky assembly plant. This car falls in the sports car category. Corvettes are either two door coupes or two door convertibles. Chevrolet Corvette is very similar to Dodge Viper and Ford GT.

Extremely powerful engines are one of the distinguishing features of this car. But though the engine packs power it is not complex. An overhead valve together with a larger displacement, usage of leaf springs in suspension makes Chevrolet Corvette what it is. (more…)

Two Czech companies are involved in producing sports cars.

My aunt had a gorgeous little MG when I was in my early 20′s and at least once I had the opportunity to drive it; on my own!!!

Well, would I like to get one of my own? I’m not sure. In 2005 the Chinese state-owned Nanjing Automobile bought the assets of the collapsed MG Rover company, which owned the MG rights, and recently rolled out the first line of new MG sports cars. (more…)

The Morgan Aero 8 has set the standard for heavyweight performance from a lightweight package. The extensive use of Aluminium in the construction is the principal driver behind the shattering performance, which is derived from the superb 325 Bhp V8 4.4 litre BMW engine. Any car with this much horsepower, and which weighs just 2500 lbs is going to deliver, plus of course there are the additional benefits that lightweight technology bring which include class beating cornering, braking (just 38 metres from 62 mph), economy and emissions.
