Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Engine
The advanced AMG 6.3-litre V8 motor makes the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG one of the most powerful sports cars in its class. The V8 high-speed engine with 6208 cc capacity is a completely modified version of the AMG 6.3-litre V8 basic engine. The 8-cylinder engine responds to the slightest movement of the accelerator with superb agility across the entire engine speed range and displays the typical features of a high-performance racing car.
The maximum output of 420 kW is achieved at 6800 rpm. The maximum torque rating of 650 Nm is reached by the 8-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine at 4750 rpm.
The gullwing model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and achieves a top speed of 317 km/h.
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: fuel consumption combined: 13.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 308 g/km. 
Suspension
The AMG sports suspension in the SLS delivers uncompromising racetrack performance. It employs a double wishbone suspension concept – proven in motorsport – on all four wheels. Spring struts specially developed/adapted for the SLS as well as the separation of wheel control and suspension generate a significant reduction in pitching when accelerating and braking. This way, the best possible road surface contact is maintained, even when performance is pushed to the limit. The long wheelbase (2680 mm) supports directional stability and the wide track (1682 mm at the front and 1651 mm at the back) reduces wheel load displacement on winding roads.
Steering
To meet the expectations associated with a supercar and maintain control of the vehicle even in the most demanding sporty driving situations, AMG sports parameter steering has been integrated in the SLS.
This speed-sensitive power steering delivers a direct steering experience. It also enhances driver feedback as the vehicle speed increases – a crucial factor when driving quickly on a straight road.
AMG Performance steering wheel with a flat lower section and oval profile is upholstered in nappa leather and perforated on the side grips. This ensures handling comfort and a secure grip for use in challenging driving situations.
Transmission
The new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission with four drive modes and Race Start function is responsible for power transmission. Weighing just 136 kg, the transmission system employs an integrated mechanical differential lock to guarantee outstanding traction. The system is characterised by rapid gear changes, practically without interruption to tractive power. In simple terms: shift up at full load to experience even more dynamic acceleration for maximum driving pleasure.
Drivers can choose from four drive modes (ranging from comfort to extremely sporty) and a Race Start function. Real metal shift paddles are used to move up and down the seven gears. A short pull on the left (–) or right (+) shift paddle is enough to select the required gear.

Ferrari 360 GT

Ferrari 360 GT
Ferrari 360 GT is one of Ferrari production car designed specifically for race cars. With a futuristic body, and the machines that are quality, 360 GT won several victories and at the same awards in racing. One of them is now winning the race in the event JMB race in Estoril. This is proof that the Ferrari 360 GT is one of the cars with speed and power are balanced in every race.
The 2002 Ferrari 360 GT is very much like the cars that JMB raced in 2001. Again, Michelotto is responsible for the body developments which hold Pininfarina's original lines. Bodywork revisions include a NACA duct on front lid for interior cooling, wider front and rear fenders, a larger, more developed rear wing and a new front valance which can support the optional driving lights.
 Since the introduction of the 360 Modena, Ferrari has received numerous requests for factory-prepared cars for other international championships. With the help of factory backing, the JMB Competition team 360 fought off the Porsche competition to take the 2001 FIA N-GT World Championship team and drivers' titles.
 On the strength of this showing, Ferrari has decided to produce a specific model - the 360 GT - derived from the Challenge car for privateers in the FIA N-GT and A.C.O. (Automobile Club de l'Ouest) championships in 2002. Production will be strictly limited to around 30 cars over the next three years and the ex-factory price (ie. excluding tax and delivery) is 382,000 Euros for the FIA version, and 402,000 Euros for the ACO version. The two versions differ exclusively for the aerodynamic packages and, in the case of the FIA car, the adoption of the F1-style shift.
As for mechanics, Ferrari has considered every component. The engine features, high-lift camshafts, lighter pistons, reshaped combustion chambers and re-mapped mototronics. Even with two 30.8mm air restrictors, the engine produces 430HP. This is a remarkable figure given that air restrictors stop about half of the air reaching throttle bodies.
The suspension remains similar to the production 360, having harder springs, shocks and an adjustable anti-roll bar.
Like every racecar the 360 GT is stripped of its interior luxuries with all non-essential components removed. The gauges are replaced with a digital display and a full roll cage is installed. In total, Ferrari engineers shed 600lbs off the production 360, which makes it 400 lbs lighter than the Challenge car.

Ferrari 575M Maranello

Ferrari 575M Maranello
Ferrari 575M Maranello series is succesor from the previous series, namely radical 550 Maranello. The development of technology that is increasingly growing in the manufacturer Ferrari 575M Maranello is making a choice that can not be silenced just like that. This is a technological sophistication that happen on a car. This car seemed to represent the era of fast-paced and straightforward. This can be seen from the body construction, exterior and interior materials are comfortable yet lightweight. Problem machine, the Ferrari was champion in the making machine is super fast.
The 575M Maranello’s 12-cylinder engine retained its predecessor’s 65 degree vee angle, twin overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, light alloy engine block, heads and oil tank, and dry sump lubrication with two scavenge and one sender pump, double filter, separate tank and individual radiators. The engineers’ goal with the 575M Maranello’s V12 was simply to increase both power curve and torque. The result is that it had a new maximum power output of 515 hp (379 kW) at 7250 rpm and maximum torque of 60 kgm at 5250 rpm (588.6 Nm). Mid-range torque also increased by 1.5 kgm between 1000 and 4000 rpm compared to the 550 Maranello’s engine. These improvements were achieved by a plethora of modifications to the 12-cylinder, most notably: increased capacity, higher compression ratio, new intake fluid-dynamics, and overall improvement of engine efficiency and management.
The 575M Maranello also boasted optimal weight distribution, with a 50-50 split between the axles with the driver onboard. This came courtesy of its transaxle design which saw the rear-mounted gearbox in unit with the limited-slip differential. The 575M Maranello’s transmission sported the electro-hydraulic F1 control unit mounted at the rear of the car. This minimised response time and guaranteed optimal operating temperatures. The F1 gearchange on the 575M Maranello was optimised to be used via the manual levers mounted on the back of the steering wheel, as direct driver (rather than automatic) control guaranteed the most responsive driving in press-on situations. The driver had two main manaual gear-shifting strategies available to him via the console-mounted controls: Sport which offered faster sportier shifting and one aimed at a more laidback driving style, both of which affected damper control too. The F1-style gearbox used on the 575M Maranello cut gear-shifting times and offered damper control during gear changes. Ferrari designed the electro-hydraulic gearbox to be mainly manually actuated using the steering wheel-mounted paddles but two complimentary modes were also made available: Automatic and Low Grip.

In 2000 Ferrari launched the car with the series 360. After the previous series with 360 Spider, 360 Challenge now. You could say this is the GT series are reliable and super fast. There are some differences with the previous series on the car body, and also the engine. We can distinguish in the specification below.
Ferrari's GT cars have always been highly competitive in the hands of privateers, and their racing achievements have played a fundamental role in the company's motor sport history.
That's why the Ferrari Challenge one-make racing series was created - it was Ferrari's way of getting owners of its road-going GT cars back on the track. The idea for a specific competition for the 8-cylinder cars first became reality back in 1993 with the 348 Berlinetta.
In 1995 it was the turn of the F355, thanks to a special kit developed in-house by Ferrari. The 2000 season saw the debut of the 400-bhp, V8-engined 360 Modena Challenge alongside the F355. The 360 Modena maintains the same output (400 bhp @ 8,500 rpm) as the standard road car, but incorporates a number of modifications designed to radically improve its performance in track use.

Ferrari 550 Barchetta

Ferrari 550 Barchetta

The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was specifically designed to be reminiscent of legendary Ferrari road race stars of the likes of the 166 MM, the 250 GT California and the 365 GTS4 Daytona. The aim, in fact, was to create an open-top front-engined 12-cylinder with a retro feel to it. The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was designed and developed to be a unique interpretation of Ferrari’s purest and most extreme sports cars. In fact, it was a deliberate and provocative departure from the rest of the current range. As such, it was made available only as a limited edition of just 448, all of which were built in Maranello in 2001. Each car was numbered and its number displayed on a special in-car plaque signed by Sergio Pininfarina.
The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was the perfect new millennium interpretation of the classic, open-top front-engined V12 Ferrari sports car, complete with modern styling and technology. One of its signature styling cues was a traditional barchetta-style cut to the windscreen (around 100 mm lower than the 550 Maranello) with a body-coloured finish to the lower section of the surround. It was also, tellingly, a model aimed exclusively at open-air use, providing just a manual soft-top for emergency use. The functional and unadorned barchetta-type solution with a simple manual soft-top allowed Ferrari's engineers to offset the additional weight gained by reinforcing the chassis and additional safety features (rear roll-bars). Consequently the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina weighed the same as the 550 Maranello. The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina's exclusive design included other distinctive flourishes, such as Ferrari badges on the wheelarches, two-piece alloy wheels and an aluminium fuel cap. It was also available in any colour in the Ferrari range.

Ferrari 360 Spider

The 360 Spider was Ferrari’s 20th road-going convertible. It was also the best spider ever built at Maranello pre-2000 in terms of its technical content, styling and performance. In fact, this was the most technologically advanced spider in the world at the time of its launch thanks to the exclusive transfer of features derived directly from Ferrari’s experiences on the Formula 1 track. Despite its 400-hp V8 engine’s mid-position (five valves per cylinder), the Ferrari technicians still managed to design a hood that folded away automatically inside the engine bay and guaranteed its superb purity of line. This was further underscored by two fairings in the bodywork to the rear of the seats which evoke memories of Ferrari’s classic sports cars and the roll-bars that guaranteed a safe ride for driver and passenger.

The work done on the chassis focused on delivering maximum static and dynamic rigidity. The sills were reinforced too, the front part of the floor pan was stiffened, and the windshield structure redesigned. The rear bulkhead too was stiffened to dampen engine noise. The 360 Spider’s structural prowess and dynamic response set a whole new chassis-bodywork benchmark for drop-top cars, in fact. The 360 Spider’s lucky occupants were enclosed in a very strong protective crash cage completed by two tubular steel roll bars which were an actually part of the drop-top system. Together with the strengthened windscreen frame, these guaranteed significant protection in case of a roll-over. The 360 Spider had the same suspension as the coupĂ© (double wishbone suspension front and rear) with the same antidive and antisquat geometries. Rolling and pitching were reduced to an absolute minimum and the 360 Spider proved extraordinarily precise entering corners.
