With the extra power of the engine, you also need to improve the suspension to cope up with the increased stresses on the suspension.

Hartge then replaced the suspension of the H35d with one of their 535D suspensions kits. This allows the car to sit up to 30mm lower and updated springs and dampers ensure that grip is maximized on the tire at all times.

2012 CCG Custom GT

The word custom in the CCG Custom GT quite literally means ‘you have a choice in what you want’. This is one sports car designed not only to provide as much fun as you normally have on the track, but also to provide the perfect feel for what a sports car should have on the road.

Exterior & Interior

The chassis of the CCG is made in the US and uses a tubular space frame in its design. This tubular frame design ensures that it has as much strength as it should in any given amount of weight. That translates to a car that can weigh less than most other sports car of its class.

The body itself can be made either in fiberglass or carbon fiber. The suspension uses coil-over springs and dampers, and was designed specifically for this car for maximum performance on the road and on the track. And the interior is done in black. The Interior can be redesigned according to what the customer wants, and how the customer wants it.

Performance

The engine also comes from the US, being a GM 7 liter power plant that produces 550 HP without any turbo charging. The six speed transmission is modified for use in this car by CCG themselves.

Additionally, the car itself can be ordered for use with LPG, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, or what is known as auto gas. This makes the car greener than most other super cars since you essentially pay less and get the same performance with LPG than with gasoline.

Engine: LS V8 Displacement: 6.0 Liter
Horsepower: 450 HP Curb Weight: 2300 lbs (1043 kg)

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

The Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing was launched in February 1954 at the New York International Auto Show.

The Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing, internally known as W198 at Daimler-Benz, was the commercial version of the competition-only sports car of 1952, the carbureted Mercedes 300SL (W194).

Stylish Design

The 300 SL Gullwing was a two seater sports car with the unique gull-wing shaped doors. At the time of its launch, the 300 SL Gullwing was the fastest production car till that date. The 300SL was designed with the objective of minimizing the aerodynamic drag and thus making it light and nimble. It was built around a tubular chassis, design limitation of which led to innovation of upward swinging door, which became the hallmark of the car.

The tubular metal skeleton helped in cutting down weight while maintaining high level of strength. Car body was primarily steel, but Aluminum was used in hood, doors and trunk lids to reduce the weight. Customer had the option to order the car in an All-Aluminum body, which was 80kgs lighter. The well sculpted design of the car was ground breaking and the characteristic Gullwing doors were a crowd puller.

Performance

The 300 SL Gullwing was powered by a 212 hp 3 liter straight-6 engine. This was the first ever 4 stroke gasoline engine with direct fuel injection system. The direct injection nearly doubled the power of the original carbureted version which produced around 115hp.

This innovative fuel injection meant that the car was fastest production car in the world then, with top speed of 260 km/h or 161 mph. The car achieved 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in about 10 seconds.

A total of 1400 Gullwings were a produced between 1955 and 1957 and 80% of these were sold in the United States. The 300 SL Gullwing is still revered as one of the classic automobiles of the 20th century and is still a sought after vehicle.

The stunning design of the car is ageless and the spirit of the same can be seen in the new age Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
