Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,
While most people are busy stacking up food and presents for the holiday season, the automotive industry is hard at work preparing for the upcoming Detroit Motor Show. Land Rover will kick off their 60th anniversary year in style with the LRX Concept. A mix of a three door hatchback and the Freelander, it might signal a new model in the Land Rover line-up. If built, the coupe Land Rover will face the new BMW X6. This 'Sports Activity Coupe' will be powered by a variety of engines, including a brand new twin turbocharged V8. Employing direct injection and variable valve timing, it produces 400 bhp across a very wide range. Mazda will launch another concept of the much acclaimed Nagare design language. Dubbed the Furai, it is based on a Courage prototype chassis. Power comes from a three rotor rotary engine.
Some of the finest cars of the teens and twenties were produced in the United States. When launched, the Stutz Bearcat was one of the countries first sports cars. It is probably best known as the car that Erwin "Cannonball" Baker drove from coast to coast in a record breaking time. It was the inspiration for the outlaw races and motion pictures. The cars produced by duPont were even more exclusive. One the company's finest was the eight cylinder engined Model G. The featured Le Mans Speedster body style is one of the most beloved.
In the late 1940s, many sportscars featured cycle fenders to make them light and easily adaptable for open wheel racing. This body style received the nickname 'Siluro' or 'Torpedo' in Italian. A great example of this shape is the OSCA MT4, which is one of the earliest cars produced by the company founded by the remaining Maserati brothers.
