Ascari cars
Ascari Cars Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Banbury, United Kingdom founded by Dutch millionaire Klaas Zwart. The company was named after Alberto Ascari (1918–1955) who was the first double world Formula One champion. Its first limited-edition car, the Ascari Ecosse, was launched in 1998. After the release of the Ecosse, Dutch businessman Klaas Zwart purchased the company.
In 2000 Ascari built a new facility in Banbury in northern Oxfordshire, England. Ascari's second car, the Ascari KZ1, was developed at Banbury, which also housed Team Ascari's racing assets.
Ascari began developing a racetrack near Ronda, in southern Spain. The track includes recreations of famous corners from other tracks around the world, and may be set up as one long track, three separate short tracks, or some combination in between.
The full track is approximately 5.5km in length. By 2002 the three part track was finished and accompanied by a high-end resort, with several road and racing cars available to members to test, including former Formula One machinery. The resort operates a membership based system. Members are able to make use of pits and storage garages for their cars at the resort. The resort does also operate a few weekend open days to the public, including visits of the facilities and track experience days in Lotus Elises, BMW 325i and Radicals. the same time as the launch of the car, Klaas Zwart of the Netherlands chose to enter the FGT in racing, running a Ford V8 engine and entering into the British GT Championship. With the one concept car meeting the homologation requirements, Zwart managed to win an event at Silverstone Circuit in the car's debut season of 1995. The car would also attempt to qualify for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but would not be fast enough to pass prequalifying.

suzuki kizashi turbo 275HP Concept Rear cars
Suzuki has set up very a status for itself within the U.S. as being a maker of high-quality, high-performance motorcycles and ATVs. Sadly, the identical cannot be mentioned for its cars; whilst top quality and overall performance statements maintain, from our experience, Suzuki's sparse and second-tier dealerships and dealer amenities in the U.S.
That's what Suzuki has done with all the new Kizashi Apex Concept for the 2011 New york Global Car Exhibit. Fundamentally an extreme-motorsports take on the Kizashi Turbo thought that is been teased for some time, the Apex will get a powerful Garrett/Honeywell 2871 R ball-bearing turbocharger, waste-gated to a conservative eight.5 psi.
Entirely, the setup would make among 275 and 300 horsepower from this boosted version from the Kizashi's stout 2.4-liter engine.
-water-cooled bearing system, and light-weight iconel materials for your cart turbine wheel. An air-to-liquid intercooler supplies charge air cooling and short ducting for fast throttle response and much less throttle lag.
the Apex Idea derives through the Suzuki GSX-R Superbike. Highlights consist of a "burnt asphalt" finish for the 19-inch light-weight overall performance alloy wheels, and the Yokohama S.Generate 245/35-R19 tires have nanotechnology micro-fiber compound that can aid each wet and dry traction.

acura cars
Acura is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Honda Motor Company. The Acura brand has been available in the US, Canada, and Hong Kong since March 1986 marketing luxury and performance vehicles and near-performance vehicles division.
The brand was introduced to Mexico in 2004 and to China in 2006. However, Honda's plan to introduce Acura to the Japanese market have been repeatedly delayed due to economic reasons: the planned 2008 launch was delayed for 'about two years or so and then in a December 17, 2008 announcement. Acura has been involved in American motorsports, specifically in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and IMSA GT Championship series. Starting in 1991, Acura reached an agreement with the Comptech Racing to use the V6 motor of the all-new Acura NSX in Comptech's Camel Lights Spice prototype. Acura would go on to take the Lights championship in its initial year, including a class win at the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Acura moved to touring car racing, joining Realtime Racing in the SCCA World Challenge with the NSX in 1996, winning the final two races of the season. In 1997, Acura added Acura Integras to the lower classes, and were successful in taking the championship in both of these classes. Realtime took the touring championship with the Integra again in 1998, and came within a few points of winning it again in 1999 only to lose it in the final race, then coming back to retake the title in 2000.
Acura also announced their initiative to take the cars to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2008 and eventually move to the superior LMP1 class with cars built by Acura themselves in 2009. Later in 2006, Acura announced that the three factory teams would be Andretti Green Racing, Fernández Racing, and Highcroft Racing, and that the chassis would be built by Lola Cars of the UK and Courage Compétition of France.
The three Acura-powered prototypes debuted at the 2007 12 Hours of Sebring, opening round of the ALMS season, and were successful in their debut. Andretti Green's Acura took second place overall and first in the LMP2 class, while Fernández Racing took third overall, and Highcroft sixth, beating a series of established Porsche teams in their class. At the same time, Acura began development of their own chassis by heavily modifying their purchased Courage chassis.
