However the cost of retractable headlights was to high, and instead they were fixed in what would have been the 'up' position. Their unusual location gave rise to the cars affectionate nickname, the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> "Frogeye" Sprite.</span><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Austin Healey Sprite MK I</span> was powered by a 1.0 litre, inline, four cylinder engine which developed a grand total of 43 horsepower. Coupled to a four speed manual gearbox it was capable of propelling the car up to 84 mph.<br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Frogeye Sprite (</span>which was discontinued in 1961) was the <span style="font-weight: bold;">first of several Sprite models.</span> In 1962 the <span style="font-weight: bold;">MK II Austin Healey Sprite</span> was introduced. The<span style="font-weight: bold;"> MK II </span>introduced several updates, the most noticeable of which was a more conventional headlight layout. From 1961 the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Austin Healey Sprite</span> was also sold as the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> MG Midget.</span><br /><br /></div>

Since the Rapide's original premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009 the car has gone on to win the widespread approval of customers and media commentators alike, prompting strong global demand for the car.

With the power of race cars and the sleek, curves and designs of a luxury car, the combination from the two car manufacturers is hard to beat.A blast from the past and a taste of the future, this might just be a good description of the latest sports car that came out from a collaboration of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz and McLaren</span>, two big giants in the car manufacturing industry. We're talking about the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. </span><br />This supercar is definitely fast. SLR McLaren sports a 626-horsepower supercharged 5.5-liter V8. Also, it has a full carbon-fiber monocoque, features crash structures and body panels. And with the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> supercharge V8 engine</span>, you can see the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren</span> go from naught to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.6 seconds. Top speed has been measured to exceed 200 mph, a feat that can only be achieved by very few even among the high performance sports cars. It was the high-performance division of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz</span> which created the V8s. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The AMG</span> were the ones who hand-build the supercharged V8 engines with top notched precision and quality. It is not at a big surprise to see the supercharged 5.5 (5439 cc) liter dry sumped 90 degree V8 engine to produce around 466.8 kW at 6500 rpm (626 hp) and 780 N·m (575 ft·lbf) torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm. The numbers maybe daunting but the sound of the engine will appease the minds of those who long for the perfect high performance cars.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_735591561" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390802531967281314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Ss_6V1QvqKI/AAAAAAAAAJU/enhg-tZ6Xf4/s400/SLR-McLaren-Mercedes-Benz-Sports-Car-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR McLaren Mercedes-Benz Sports Car</span></div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_735591561"><br /></a><br />Mounting that V8 engine into the body of SLR exotic car is also not as traditional as one would like to expect. The engine in SLR sports car is placed in a front mid-engine position just behind the front wheels. Instead of using the traditional oil-pan, dry-sump lubricants are used. With this innovation, it is highly possible to mount the engine to a level that used to be unachievable. Because of the low position of the engine in the supercar's body, the results are more than one hoped. The new Mercedez-Benz SLR McLaren race car has better aerodynamics and better handling due to the lower center of gravity.<br />Not only does the mean features of the sports car that attracts attention but how the two car companies were able to fuse their own traditions and expertise into a single exotic car. For one, McLaren's expertise in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Formula 1</span> has been imbibed wholly by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR's desig</span>n. The composition of carbon fiber material that was used in the body of the new SLR sports car is so Formula 1. Because of this body, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren has become more rigid and surprisingly strong.<br />The SLR also has a five speed automatic transmission. There are modes, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Comfort and Manual </span>which basically covers every known driving style. Sport is for everyday use, Comfort for bumpy or slippery roads, and Manual gives you control over the gears either through the touchpad or the levers on the steering wheel. When you use Manual, you open up three more modes, namely <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Supersport and Race</span>. Speed increased significantly as you go up shifts.<br /><br /></div>

It uses composite materials to to keep the weight down and a form over function styling brief to keep the frontal area and drag coefficient to a minimum.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The LM 800</span> is a<span style="font-weight: bold;"> supercar </span>from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Beck Engineering</span> & <span style="font-weight: bold;">Composites GmbH </span>based in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Switzerland</span>. The Beck LM 800 went on show in January 2007 in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vienna.</span><br />The construction of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Beck LM 800</span> is similar to that found in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Formula 1 </span>race cars with a carbon, Kevlar and aluminium composite monocoque protecting the driver and passenger, as well as providing a rigid base to attach the engine and transmission mounts and front control arms of the chassis. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The LM 800 </span>has an electronically controlled, hydraulic active chassis also influenced by <span style="font-weight: bold;">F1 technology</span>, which reacts to telemetry data and helps to keep the car firmly stuck to the road.<br />The<span style="font-weight: bold;"> engine is a V8 </span>especially produced by<span style="font-weight: bold;"> MTM</span> for the Beck LM 800 with a displacement of 4.2 litres and, thanks to two turbochargers, delivers a performance of around 650 HP (variable from 550 - 1000 hp) to the drive shaft. The drive unit is designed in such a way that even acceleration is achieved across the entire range up to a top speed of over 217 mph. The semi-sequential 7-speed gearbox is perfectly coordinated with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Beck LM 800</span> and reacts instantly to driver input.<br />The wheels of the Beck LM 800 are specially made and formed from aluminium.

2010 Ferrari F10 Specifically to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3TtGholI4I/AAAAAAAADsM/OJiQGrvaCSo/s400/2010-Ferrari-F10-S-Sport-Car-5.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Scuderia Ferrari </b>unveiled today its 2010 challenger, the <b>Ferrari F10.</b> The F10 single-seater was presented with a new livery, with both the front and the rear wing white painted. The F10 is the fifty-sixth single-seater built by Ferrari, specifically to compete in the <b>Formula 1 World Championship.</b> The name of the car renews the tradition of being linked to the year in which it makes its debut in the Championship. The project, which went by the internal code number 661, represents the Scuderia's interpretation of the technical and sporting regulations which apply in 2010. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3TtQOsBMBI/AAAAAAAADsc/MWPn11BdDhY/s400/2010-Ferrari-F10-S-Sport-Car-7.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Ferrari F10  Formula 1</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The rule clarifications issued by the FIA during the course of the previous season as regards to the diffuser have opened up new scenarious for the designers in terms of freeing up this area, thus representing the opportunity to deliver potentially great performance advantages. Compared to the F60, the F10 was obviously conceived with the aim of maximizing the aerodynamic performance of the double diffuser. Therefore the engine mountings to the chassis have been modified in a specific way and also redesigned is the shape of the gearbox casing and the rear suspension layout.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3TslX7XqnI/AAAAAAAADrs/M-7YHIyUqbM/s400/2010-Ferrari-F10-S-Sport-Car-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Ferrari F10  Formula 1</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It only takes a quick glance to note that the front part of the chassis is considerably higher than on last year's car and that the central upper and lower surfaces are hollowed out, in order to improve airflow. Another major rule change is that race refuelling is banned, which means the fuel cell has to be big enough to allow the car to get to the end of the race, whatever type of circuit. Inevitably, the car is longer to accommodate the new fuel tank and to allow the installation of longer and narrower radiators so that the sidepods have a smaller higher aperture with a more cut-out shape at the bottom. A further tapering as been achieved thanks to a revised and unconventional configuration of the exhausts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3Ts0DpXloI/AAAAAAAADr8/8WJwifyP5Zg/s400/2010-Ferrari-F10-S-Sport-Car-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Ferrari F10  Formula 1</b> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The need to start the race with a much heavier car than in the past has required a redesign of the basic characteristics of the braking system, carried out in conjunction with Brembo as well as a new design for the relevant cooling system.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3TsuWL7OGI/AAAAAAAADr0/ES31ZRyIrlE/s400/2010-Ferrari-F10-S-Sport-Car-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Ferrari F10  Formula 1</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Safety levels have been increased thanks to the introduction of new crash tests of the rear bulkhead and the cell with a full load.
