The Fast Modernization of Sports Cars

Modernization of sports cars has been unstoppable. The concept of the sports car generated by Enzo Ferrari's in 1929 was the beginning of the sports car industry. He was the one that lead the way for other car manufacturers to follow the design of the Ferrari sports car.

The great designs of the Ferrari are well known for their car racing success and the Ferrari is the most extravagant and successful racing team in the history of Formula One racing. Ferrari has produced cars that have fascinated the world with their versions of the sports car and have promoted drivers like Michael Schumacher and Alberto Ascari in the world-wide sport of car racing.

The F430 is the flagship of Ferrari. This sports car is a muscular two-seat coupe, which was reengineered last year. It has became the most sought after car this year because of its great performance and affordable price of $161,000 which is considerably lower in price then most cars in its class.

The most current release of the Ferrari is the Superamerica hardtop convertible, which is priced $300,000. It became the hottest seller when it was displayed in all showrooms of the Ferrari in the United States. It has an awesome yet powerful V-12 engine and the design of the transmission came from the F-1 version. The standard package on all models of the Ferrari contains transmission paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

The roof of the Superamerica makes it an awesome display of engineering and imaginative design. The roof is made from electro chromic glass and carbon fiber. The driver can change the setting of the car from the elegant coupe to a more exotic open-air sports car.

Because of the fast modernization of Ferrari versions, the company has acquired ownership of the Maserati in 1997 - a long time competitor in the production of sports cars. Since then, it has boosted the sales of Maserati and modernized the production facilities of the company. It also started producing new models like the Quattroporte hardtop, which is priced at $95,000 and the Spyder GT convertible that is priced at $83,000.

Ferrari is considered the super performance car. It made its mark on the sports car industry because of the extraordinary designs and modified engineering of their sports cars. There are also other car manufacturers that are still making names for themselves in the sports car industry. The Chevrolet Corvette and the Dodge Viper are also awesome in their designs. The Porsche Carr era can be compared to the Ferrari with its power and is even more expensive at $440,000.

What's going to happen to Sports Cars and V8 Muscle with the new 35 mile per gallon restriction upon cars ?

With Obama having cars make atleast 35 miles per gallon, whats going to happen to the V8 Sports cars such as the M3, Mustang GT, Dodge Challenger SRT 8 , etc ?

Some understanding of the law might be a good place to start before asking such a question... but in short, the answer is absolutely nothing.

Did you know that manufacturers are already required under CAFE standards of a 27.5mpg restriction, and have been since the early 80s with a few small variations in there? And what happened to cars like the M3, Mustang GT, etc during that time or right now? Have they disappeared?

And just as an aside, you also realize this bill was passed in 2007 - quite some time before President Obama was in office? The new standard means that manufacturers will need to achieve the 35mpg average across their entire fleet.

So if they sell one car that gets 25mph, they have no problem if they then sell 2 cars that get 40mpg.

But what if they don't? Just like now, they then have to pay a fine based on how much they miss the goal. The bottom line goal on sports cars will be that they MAY be more expensive, but you are most likely going to see this from smaller manufacturers. Ferrari for example will not come close to meeting this average (just as they don't today). As a company they will be doing something to improve their average, but in the end, they will pay what is needed and add it to the price of their cars (just like they do now).
