Chevrolet Corvette

In the early 1950s, General Motors seemed unlikely to be able to successfully market a sports car, especially not one that would make a profit. GM made two million cars annually, and the total sports car market was only about 5,000. The group of buyers of two-seater sports cars was a very small group.Why did Chevrolet take the plunge with the Corvette in 1953? After World War II, everyone seemed to love the sports cars theyd seen in Europe and taken to the United States. Being interested in it and buying one are two different things. GM quickly found out. According to GM, there was enough interest and the reason that so few were sold was because there was no offer of real American sports cars. The European sports cars were made for European requirements and traffic conditions. According to GM, the Americans wanted a sports car that was made for the flat American roads and the Americans had different comfort requirements.

PORSCHE 911 Targa Silver Anniversary Edition 2.7S

Porsche introduced the new Porsche 911 originally as the Porsche 901 on September 12, 1963 to the public for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The 911 was a successor to their popular 356 sports car. Porsche had to change the number 901 because Peugeot claimed they that they had the rights to model designations with three numbers with a zero in the middle. Rather than fighting French logic Porsche changed the name of the new sports car to 911. The production started slow and the first cars came to the market in 1964 in which year only 234 cars where build. The first 911’s had a 2.0 liter air-cooled six-cylinder engine that was placed in the rear and produced 130 hp. This allowed the 911 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.9 seconds. Over the years, the engine capacity grew from 2.0 to 2.2 and 2.4 and then to 2.7, 3.0 and 3.2, and then to 3.6 liter. In 1974 the first 2.7 engines were introduced for the normal road cars.

Jaguar XJS 4.0 Aut Cabriolet

The Jaguar XJS was introduced on 10 September 1975. The design and development, directed by William Heynes Chief Engineer and Technical Director had begun in the late 1960s by the code name of project XJ27, with an initial shape penned by Malcolm Sayer.After his death in 1970 it was completed by the in-house Jaguar design team, headed by Doug Thorpe. Power came from the Jaguar V12 engine with a choice of a manual or an automatic transmission, but the manual was soon dropped as they were left over from V12 E Type production. V12 powered production automobiles were unusual at the time; Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari produced such models. The specifications of the XJ-S compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 97 km/h in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 230 km/h. Jaguar launched the XJS in the middle of the oil crisis and the market for a 5.3-litre V12 grand tourer was small. The XJS got a major facelift in 1991 with new bumpers and also a 4.0 liter 6-cilinder engine became available. The XJS was discontinued in 1996, after 21 years in production, superseded by the XK8.
