Dodge Viper SRT10

Beware of the highly venomous viper on the roads! Dodge has launched its ever powerful 600HP 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster sports car for the brave kids on the road. It is likely to reach the American roads in the summer pausing a survival threat for the other roadster crawlers. Thanks to the engine technology developed by Street and Racing Technology (SRT) Engineering, Chrysler Group, for offering an 8.4-liter aluminum V-10 engine for this sparkling Viper SRT10 in eight different colors. Aren't you curious to know its capacity of throwing the 'venom' on the roads? SRT engineers beautifully performed their engineering skills by equipping this fast roadster with the best engine possible on the roads by complying with the regulatory measures such as Federal Tier 2, Bin 5, and California's Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV) 2 mandates. Fast car SRT adopted the racer's formula for the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster - bigger displacement, efficient breathing and higher engine speed. The exceptional performance of the Viper SRT10 sports car, added to its eye-catching appearance, is going to make new records on the roads. Apart from the interior and the exterior, Dodge offers a lot of customizable options to SRT 10 Viper owners who are crazy for cars with a difference. The exterior of the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 will grab the attention of the snake-catchers. The fast car comes in eight different exterior colors including the slippery snake-green, venomous violet and the dangerous red. The color, along with the larger hood scoop, will make this roadster live up to its name. The eight vents provided at the hood provide sufficient airflow from the engine. The interior of this sports car is no exception to its adventurous journey. The cockpit is fully equipped with all the instruments including the center-mounted tachometer and 220 mph speedometer. Apart from the five different color combinations offered to the interior, other noticeable feature is the bezel finish applied to its instrument panel and the console.

The cylinder heads of Viper SRT 10's engine is equipped with computer numerically controlled (CNC)- shaped combustion chambers, and larger valves with variable valve timing (VVT). VVT helps the valves to operate automatically as per the engine requirements, and thus offers a lot of relaxation time to the engine resulting better efficiency and cleaner surrounding. Another innovation in the engine technology of this sports car is the platinum-tip spark plugs that are used to ignite the fuel mixture in the engine. These plugs are fired by the plug coils placed on the cylinder-head covers. The advanced safety and security technology adopted in the Viper SRT10 will pump in more enthusiasm in the car lovers to possess this vehicle not only as a racing car, but as a luxury car for everyday use. The safety measures at SRT10 include adjustable pedals, advanced multistage front air bags with occupant classification system, anti-lock brake system, belt-alert, and many more like that.

Ascari A10

The Ascari A10 sports car, developed by British manufacturers and similar to the Spanish GT version, is rated in the top ten supercars for 2006. Its lightweight carbon fiber body of less than 3,000 pounds is designed more for the racetrack than the road. There were only a few models of this fast car built, somewhere between 10 and 50, and although expensive, it promises incredible speed and power. The power of the Ascari A10 comes from the modified BMW 5.0 liter V-8 engine, with the standard six-speed sequential transaxle, where the gearshifts operate as paddles, similar to other race cars. Additions and modifications to the engine, however, include cams with advanced timing, new rods, and pistons, as well as a dry sump lubrication system. It has the same steel sub-frame for the power train and rear suspension as the KZ1 sports car, but the height of the coil spring units can be adjusted hydraulically on front and rear. This is a unique feature, not found on most other supercars, where adjustments can only be made manually. Handling should be easier than before, with front and rear anti-roll bars installed, which are also adjustable. The builders of the A10, not to be outdone by their competitors and to ensure adequate braking at such high speeds, have installed ventilated ceramic disc brakes, with 6-pot calipers on the front and 4-pot calipers on the rear.
