Aston Martin New Concept Car – Volare
Developed by James Trim, who is furnishing his final year at Coventry University, Volare is the latest concept car added to the Aston Martin’s family. With the next decade facing serious challenges, 
Aston Martin was in a dilemma how to develop a supercar which is superior in performance and is environmentally friendly at the same time. Though the now present diesel and petrol engines provide the required power and turbo acceleration, they emit huge amounts of carbon particles which have adverse affect on environment. The only way one can achieve clean emission is with the help of hydrogen fuel cells and electric engines.
When you completely rely on electric engines, though you may have null emissions, there would be no performance as the technology is still under development for reaching the top speeds. Supercars are specified category which has highest performance than any other vehicle present. Aston martin’s Volare concept car runs on combination of both hydrogen fuel cells and electric motors. High power is delivered from the hydrogen fuel cell stack placed between the two front seats, the rear mounted battery pack and co-axial electric motor in the front. The weight distribution is carried in such a way that the hydrogen tanks are placed right above the rear axle for a uniform balance of the total weight. Read the rest of this entry »
Muscle Cars Versus Sports Cars
Well before World War II, American automakers as well as automakers from several European countries had started to produce extremely fast and powerful cars. Certainly, that concept was not strange at that time, however these cars were particularly expensive and suited for the high end clientele who had a great need for speed. As the 1950s and 1960s approached, manufacturers started to put out what they referred to as muscle cars, which were high 
powered, high acceleration vehicles that provided the same power as the high end models made previously, except they were at a much more affordable price
Ironically, if you wish to own a muscle car today, you need to be prepared to pay about the same price as you would for a European sports cars or more. Since many of the popular muscle cars are no longer in production, they are pretty rare, and thus quite expensive. As an example, a mint condition 1970 Chevelle can cost upwards of $50,000 or more. A rare 1970 Superbird, even one that needs reconditioned, can sell for $100,000 or more. This is because only 2,000 of these models were ever produced.
Often times, the difference between owning a sports car today and a muscle car isn’t about the cost, but the preference of the owner. If someone wants a sleek, low profile car that catches people’s eye, and exudes class and distinction, they would probably opt for a sports car. Those who love the raw power and looks of a muscle car, will be more than happy to pay a similar price for a top of the line model of their choice. Read the rest of this entry »
