Here’s Why The Ford GT40 Remains Its Most Iconic Sports Car

March 27, 2023

For anyone who watched the movie Ford v Ferrari and rooted for team Ford, the true hero of the film had to be the Ford GT40, a somewhat legendary sports car. That said, the GT40’s win would have been impossible without the efforts and technical expertise put in by Ken Miles, the legendary Carroll Shelby, Phil Remington, and Roy Lunn because it was their build of the Ford GT40 that let Ford beat Ferrari in its game.

Ford’s in-house development gave the world the GT40 Mk I, which turned out to be a disaster, and the 1964 racing

And now those battery packs are piling up in scrapyards in some countries, a previously unreported and expensive gap in what was supposed to be a “circular economy.”

“We’re buying electric cars for sustainability reasons,” said Matthew Avery, research director at automotive risk intelligence company Thatcham Research. “But an EV isn’t very sustainable if you’ve

March 24, 2023

Given the excitement and curiosity around much of the automotive industry, there’s little obscurity that goes unnoticed. From the 1940s Tucker conspiracy to the year Chevrolet didn’t make a Corvette to the enthusiast world of RWB Porsches. Each attracts its own dedicated fans and shrewd historians, bringing a little-known topic to light. But one domestic atelier of ludicrous automobiles seems to dodge the limelight year after year. Despite their flamboyant coupes, few have ever heard of the likes of Zimmer, the all-American, neo-classic custom design house.

Why The Dodge Charger Daytona Is An Overrated Muscle Car

March 13, 2023 sNawaWebs.ADV

There is no denying that the Dodge Charger Daytona is a classic muscle car. Be it in its 440 form or in its rarer forms, the Charger Daytona is a legend. The Charger Daytona is of course a NASCAR homologation special, and they first appeared in 1969 and were of course produced for just one year. Despite their legendary status and the high prices they command today, the Charger Daytona is perhaps overrated. Thanks in part to that high value.

A high cost of purchasing one, plus the harder task of finding spares mean that many of those who
