Mercedes Benz Super Sport Cars


Mercedes Benz
Mercedes-Benz can claim to have one of the longest running associations with motor racing than any other automobile manufacturer. Mercedes-Benz claims to have taken part in the very first car race, all the way back in 1894 between Paris and Rouen in France. Hence its relationship with Grand Prix racing is as old as the sport itself.

Now after years as McLaren's engine supplier, Mercedes-Benz will now also step into the ring to fight alone this season, following their November takeover of the Brawn team.

Motor racing became increasingly popular after the World War-I as cars became progressively more powerful and tracks were created, normally on closed public roads. The Nazi regime in Germany had recognised the propaganda value that racing offered and both the Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union teams were encouraged to build the fastest and most exciting cars possible to race against each other.

Those days were a period of intense, dramatic and incredibly dangerous racing. The speed and performance of racing cars was completely unmatched by any safety provisions.

Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Car Modifications



The hybrid version consists of an electric propelling system that could alone drive the car at low speeds. Apart from this, there are various other improved features inside the car. Even at high speeds, the car gives a smooth ride without any bumps. Running at a magnificent 187 hp, the technology provides an effortless transition from a pure electrical power to a conventional gasoline engine. Apart from boasting about the exquisite seat upholstery, Toyota Camry has ample room inside the car that is sufficient and spacious to fit an entire family. Toyota Camry's hybrid version has been introduced with an improved and attractive outer design.

Inspite of all these advantages, owning a Toyota Camry hybrid version might not have a significant burden on the pocket. Although, the cost of a Camry hybrid version is $3000 more than the conventional Camry, around $2,600 could be recovered in the form of state and federal tax credits and incentives if it is purchased early.
