This legendary Ford GT made its epic return to racing in 2008 at the GT2 class of the American Le Mans Series at the hands of Robertson Racing. The production on this car has been developed into a race car and a wider track, new suspension gemometry, and a more aerodynamic body with two additional new items, fender flares and additional front and rear spoilers.

Later in the 2008 ALMS season, the Black Swan Racing has been entered yet into another GT-R in the GT2 category with Falen Tire as the major sponser.

In the last season, Corvette Racing has won all eleven races to claim the manufacturers and team championships for the eighth straight year. The number 3 Corvette C6-R is driven by Jan Magnussen and Johnny O’Connell and has captured the drivers championship ahead of the number 4 Corvette drivers. Mark Kent, director of GM Racing, accepted the manufacturers’ championship trophy on behalf of Chevrolet.

“Corvette Racing has achieved remarkable results in 10 years of competition in the GT1 category,” Kent said. “The 2008 season marks the end of one chapter in Corvette Racing history, and the beginning of a new chapter as we move into the GT2 category in 2009. We look back at our past success with pride, and we look forward to new challenges with determination to succeed. We anticipate great competition, and I can think of no team that is better prepared for that challenge than Corvette Racing.” This amazing car can reach 0-60 mph in less than 3.3 seconds and top speeds of 187 mph.

With the new C-Class model C 63 AMG, Mercedes-Benz has given an overall amazing performance in the medium class. Equipped with the new wheels and sport aerodynamics, this C-Class model shows the most clear features of a top athlete.

The torque in the Carlsson CK63 can significantly increase from 600 to 685 Nm and the car only needs 3.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph and achieving top speeds of 186 mph. The driver can setup their individual adjustable damping characteristics according to their preference. Equipped with a new technical development by Carlsson, the driver does not need to make any promises. He may enjoy his driving experience with complete peacefulness and comfort.

Also, Carlsson has recommended its drivers with a torque-sensitive multi-plate limited slip differential with mechanically variable lock-up. This can increase the traction and the driving ability, especially when accelerating in turns. To the customers, Carlsson has been compiled into various components to an individual comfort from a sport steering wheel to leather interiors. Giving their drivers with a luxurious drive and sporty look.

A new car, the Dodge Challenger Targa, is a completely revolutionized competition car that has raced and competed in the mind-blowing Targa Newfoundland race this coming year. “Samantha” started life as a Mopar Challenger drag race package car. Many new features were borrowed from the Dodge Viper, but the most known was the snakeskin green paint.

To keep the front end down, a Mopar chin spoiler “Splats” was developed in a wind tunnel, which was added to the front end of the car. The Mopar hood is equipped with a scoop to make room for the 540-horsepower, 490 lb. ft. of torque, 392 HEMI V-8 Mopar crate motor.

The Tremec six-speed manual gearbox, the engine can maximize on performance and blast some steam to the rear wheels through a 2009 modified gear ration at the end. Excluding some exceptions, the Dodge Challenger Targa was built using only certain parts from the Mopar.
