Sports car types

The English name of the sports car is Sport Car. Its purpose is to “carry racing into ordinary people.” Its advention gives many ordinary motorists who are obsessed with motor racing the opportunity to experience the racer. So the definition of a sports car can also be understood as “ Civilian version of the car." It is also rich in sports. The body of a sports car is generally of the double door type, ie only the left and right two doors, two seats or 2+2 seats (two rear seats are particularly narrow), and the top cover is a foldable soft top or hard top.

Since a sports car generally only has two seats for driving, the body is light, and its engine is generally more powerful than an ordinary car engine, so its acceleration is better than that of an ordinary car, and its speed is also high. The design of the sports car is more concerned with maneuverability, and the passing of the car is relatively poor. The more advanced the sports car, the more obvious this feature is. The front engine sports car has a long front and the rear luggage is small; the rear and mid-engine sports cars do not even have a trunk, but there is a small space under the front cover of the front that can put the spare tire. The common characteristics of the sports car are its strong power, trendy appearance and beautiful shape.

The biggest feature of a sports car is its ability to "run." The start, acceleration and top speed should all exceed the average car model. Only a streamlined body is not enough, if under a beautiful body is a weak "heart", certainly can not be called a sports car. Therefore, when a manufacturer changes the streamlined body of an economy family car into a sports car, you must not follow the sports car.

At present, there are three types of sports cars on the market: one is a high-end sports car that is expensive and has excellent speed performance, such as Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, etc. The second is the mid-to-high-end sports car, which does not neglect comfort while paying attention to speed. Sex, represented by Mercedes-Benz SEL, BMW Z series, etc.; Third, relatively low-grade sports car, such as Peugeot 206ccAT, modern coupe2.0 and so on.

The model is exemplified by coupe sports cars and sports car performance. The famous Bentley Continental GT, Mercedes-Benz CLK240, BMW new 6 series, VOLVOS60, Saab9-3, Alfa Romeo GTV, Maserati Coupe, Porsche Panamera and so on.

The convertible sports car can open and close the sports car after pushing the button. The famous Mercedes SLK230, BMW M two-seat cabriolet series, Peugeot 307CC, Porsche Boxster and 911 Cabriolet series. The biggest difference between a sports car and a car is the comfort of the engine, appearance and driving.
Engine: General sports cars use high-power, high-torque, high-speed engines. This is to allow the car to show speed, speed, re-acceleration and other advantages.
General economic considerations for cars are based on the selection of engines with moderate horsepower, small displacement, and low fuel consumption.
Appearance: The appearance of a sports car is considered from the viewpoint of reducing the air resistance and the stability of the car at a high speed, so the car is streamlined and the body is low. The sedan requires a large space inside the vehicle and there are many people riding on it, so the body is higher than the sports car.
Comfort: The purpose of the sports car is to run fast, and the speed and the curb quality of the car are inversely proportional. So while it is pursuing speed, it also reduces things that have nothing to do with speed. Such as sound systems, air conditioning systems. The sports car can get effective support from the outbound wheel when turning at high speed, and its suspension system is also harder than the car.
Due to its large space, moderately soft and hard suspension systems, and smooth acceleration, the sedan has many advantages. Therefore, the car is more suitable for family and business rides.

World-class car (known as the world's most expensive car) At present, in addition to the concept car, the most expensive car is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which is expected to be 1.65 million euros -195 million euros. At least 25 million RMB. It uses the "W-type 16-cylinder engine with four turbochargers" Displacement: 7993cc Terrible `1001 horsepower acceleration: 0-300 steps only 14 seconds! Speed ​​can reach a terrifying 431 kilometers / hour (more than the EMU is difficult to estimate the value of this car, because there is no equivalent of its model can be used as a reference, who will be able to control a 1001 horsepower, With a speed of 407 km/h and a value of 25 million RMB, the European super sports car feels clear to everyone?

Bugatti Veyron has a powerful 16-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive, known as the Malinda 1,001 horses, and a rear spoiler wing to help the car avoid losing control at high speeds. The car accelerates from zero to 62 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Due to the extraordinary loss of ordinary tires, Volkswagen had to ask Michelin SCA to develop a new tire material for it. The maximum speed: 252.9 miles.

However, although this car has a strong horsepower, Volkswagen admits that many customers who buy Veyron will rarely drive the car, let alone drive at its highest speed. There are also not many roads (if any) around the world that allow vehicles to approach the Veyron's top speed. Maintenance is another problem. According to Bugatti’s management, dealers must retrain their employees for routine maintenance such as oil changes. If it is a more complicated issue, Bugatti said that it may be necessary to send technical personnel from Europe.

It is unclear how long Volkswagen’s car will last. Currently, the car is produced at a plant in the Alsace region of France, producing less than one a week. In the United States, Veyron will be sold through approximately six Bentley dealerships in Miami, Troy, Michigan, Beverly Hills, California, San Diego, Pasadena, California, and Greenwich, Connecticut. Volkswagen hopes to sell 300 Veyrons in the next five years or so, but admits that if it can't get enough orders, it may stop production.

It is expected that the purchase of the car is mostly for collection purposes, and the purchase of Veyron will mainly be used for display. “Veyron is more often seen as a work of art than a vehicle that is used for driving and for practical purposes,” said Dave Mast, a Bugatti sales representative in Troy, Michigan.

Georg Sturzer, an automotive analyst at HVB Corporates & Markets Research in Munich, Germany, took a different view: "This is a total waste of time and money."
Volkswagen's management admits that Veyron may not make money. However, they hope that Veyron's small-scale production will provide some technical inspiration for Audi and Lamborghini.
At a time when oil prices are approaching historical highs, Veyron seems to be a bit out of date and manufacturers of ultra-luxury cars are mostly in a difficult position. The so-called ultra-luxury cars generally refer to cars that sell for about $300,000 or more.

In Volkswagen, the project that had almost died in 1993, came to life during the economic boom of the late 1990s. Thanks to the success of ordinary models such as the Golf, Jetta, and Passat, Volkswagen's profits have begun to look good again. Ferdinand Piech, a gallant Ferdinand Piech, then CEO of VW and chairman of the Supervisory Board today, decided to add some luxury cars to Volkswagen, a company that specializes in producing cars for the general public.
