The Truth And Excitement About Fast Cars

By Joseph Archibald

Anybody who is asked to choose any car that they like given that there will be no money constraints would pick what almost everybody else would love, a superior and genuine sports car. These cars would be the utmost wish and possession of the hardcore car enthusiasts and car lovers.

The world's fastest sports car - fact - is the 94 Dauer 962 LeMans. This car can reach 60 miles per hour within a matter of 2.6 seconds from rest. Compared to Ferrari ENZO, which is believed to be the fastest one, it can only do so in a matter of 3.5 seconds. Even more, there are also other sports cars that can run faster than the ENZO based on the 60 mph trial. Cars like the Corvette and Viper can run for 60mph from rest in just under 3 seconds.

Many other sports car from top manufacturers like Viper, Audi, Corvette and Renault are all lower than 3.0 seconds in the test of 0 to 60 miles per hour. The question that interests car lovers is the thing or things that make these cars run fast. Below are the answers to this question. One of the main reasons why sports cars run so fast is because these cars have sleek styling that is aerodynamic.

The design of sports car is not just made to project that cool and sleek design. The aerodynamic design of it, together with its other accessories, contributes to the speed of the car. This is because, with the sleek design, the car can go against the wind even at its top speed. It tends to be slippery against the strong wind that it needs to face. This is also the reason why sports cars are tested in wind tunnels to find out the performance of the car under great speed.

The acceleration of the sports car is also affected by its weight. This is the rationale behind the makers of the first-rate sports car and the race cars use composite materials that are lightweight. They want to lessen the whole weight of the car.

The weight of the car is another determinant of its speed. The lighter it is, the faster it can go. It is also this fact that sports cars are composed of lightweight materials. This is to reduce the overall weight of the car.

There are other facts about the sports cars that contribute to its speed. Among this is the trunk or storage cabin of the car. Because of the speed consideration, sports cars are made with no or very little trunk. Also, this vehicle has only two seats, still, due to the speed consideration. Additionally, the car also makes use of firmer suspension.

The way a car is manoeuvered when passing through a curve is another factor. Sports cars can maintain a straight-line speed during turns even if they are running at high speeds. These cars also have a rear wheel drive so as the weight of the driver will not affect the speed when these cars make a turn. This type of drive can help in better weight distribution. - 21392
