1968-1970 Dodge Charger Second Generation

 
 The 1968-1970 Dodge Charger was a mid-size automobile by the Chrysler B Platform. Designer Richard Sias developed the double-diamond coke bottle profile, and the front and rear sheet metal was designed by Harvey J. Winn. The 68-70 Dodge Charger was built and assembled throughout the United States: Detroit, Michigan. Hamtramk Michigan. Los Angeles, California. and St. Louis, Missouri. The body and chassis of the 68-70 Dodge Charger is very similar to the Dodge Coronet, Plymouth Belvedere, Plymouth Satellite, Plymouth GTX, and the Plymouth Roadrunner. In 1968 Chrysler Corporation started a campaign featuring a cartoon bee with an engine on its back, this was known as the "Scat Pack". The Dodge Charger R/T along with the Cornet R/T, Super Bee, and Dart GTS received bumble-bee stripes. The Dodge Charger became most notable through the show Dukes of Hazards and also from the Fast and the Furious series and was driven by Vin Diesel. And in 1968 the Dodge Charger 500 was created for NASCAR to beat Fords cars but failed. In 1969 Dodge released the Dodge Charger Daytona which led to the creation of the Plymouth super-bird. As for the specs on the Dodge Charger the engine was a 225 cu in 3.7L 1bbl l6, with a A904 3-speed automatic transmission. The Dodge Charger is one of the great American dream muscle cars that are out there to me. And is my number three American Muscle dream car to own on my list. Its an amazing car but it still doesn't out gun the 71 Cuda with its style and power under the hood.

I like this car because its the classic example of the 90's and early 2000's sports car. And also because it was one of the best sports car japan had ever made at that time.

1967-1968 Shelby Mustang Cobra GT 500

 The 1967-1968 Shelby Mustang Cobra GT 500 that was manufactured by Shelby American. The GT 500 was assembled in  Los Angeles in 1967 and Ionia, Michigan in 1968.  And in February of 1968 the Cobra GT 500 was name "King of the Road". As for the specs on the Cobra the body style is a 2-door fastback in 1967 and in 1968 there was the option of a 2-door convertible. The Cobra GT 500 had a 428 cu in 7.0L V8 engine for the King of the Road series and for the standard the Cobra GT 500 had a 427 cu in 7.0L V8 engine, and as for the transmission there was an option between a 3-speed automatic and a 4-speed manual. The 1967 Cobra GT 500 was also shown in the 2000 movie Gone in 60 seconds as the rare and prized car known as Eleanor. I'm not a very big mustang fan but when it comes to the GT 500 I love the car very much its loud and roars and has a very muscular body to it, not only that but the massive amount of power under the hood.

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo

  The 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo is a 2-door sports car coupe that was produced by the Japanese car manufacture Nissan, and the car is built and assembled in Kaminokawa, Tochigi, Japan. And the designer of the GT-R is Shiro Nakamura, And the 2015 GT-R Nismo also known as Godzilla is to be the fastest GT-R that Nissan has ever built. Also the 2015 GT-R was first unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.  The Nissan GT-R has won many awards from Top Gear, Autocar, Evo Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Automobile Magazine, Motor Week, Edmunds.com, Motor Trend, Popular Science.  As for the specs on the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo, the engine of the GT-R is a 3.8L V6 twin-turbo that produces 595hp with a AWD 6-speed Automated manual. The GT-R can go from 0-60 in in 3.0 seconds flat, and has a top speed of 191mph. Also the GT-R is the predecessor of the previous model the GT-R Skyline which was shown in the movie Fast And Furious 4 as Paul Walker's charterers new car from the FBI in the movie. I like this car because its an original sports car that anybody can get and have some fun with it, whether they use it for cruzing and showing it off or for racing on the track or strip. The new body still looks like the 2007 and 2009 version of the car only its been made smoother and sleek. And I don't really think that the new look suits the legendary Godzilla the only part of the new GT-R that still holds that name is the engine and its insane traction on wicked turns.

2014-2015 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4












  The 2014-2015 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 is a plug-in hybrid super-car that is manufactured by the Italian maker Lamborghini. And the Asterion is the very first plug-in hybrid made by Lamborghini, and the name comes from the name of a mythical minotaur.  The Asterion was first relieved at the 2014 Paris Auto Show this year on October 2nd.  The Asterion's frame and body is made out of carbon fiber monocoque with aluminum, and as for the brakes the Asterion has Carbo-ceramic brake disc that are internally ventilated and crossed-drilled. As for the engine the Asterion has a 5.2L V10 with IDS (Direct Injection Stratified) that produces 610hp and combining that with its 3 electric motors that produce 300hp, which is 100hp each it makes the 300hp plus the 610hp combined equal the 910hp that is included in the name. And that makes the Asterion one of the most powerful Lamborghini's yet to come. And for the transmission the Asterion has a 4-wheel drive system where the front wheels are powered by the 3 electric motors and the rear are powered by the gas powered engine, and the gearbox of the Asterion is a Lamborghini Doppia Frizone (LDF) 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. The Asterion has a top speed of 199mph with the acceleration of 0-62 in just 3.0 seconds flat. What I think personally of the Asterion is that its a very different type of Lamborghini from the design of the exterior to its components. I never thought that Lamborghini would convert into the think green idea of an electric hybrid like Honda or Toyota and this is very strange to me. The body looks like the previous models of the huracian and the murria  combined with a Honda or Ford focus. Although they did keep the original Lamborghini interior of the car which was a good thing. I don't particularly like the car and wouldn't put it into production but rather leave it as a concept model.
