	Ultima Sports Ltd
		Marlow raced and won in an English component car series - he won EVERY race in his category - and that caught the eyes of McLaren engineers, who, in 1989, used the Ultima as their test mule for engine, suspension, transaxle, and cooling system breakthroughs that would eventually become standard on the F1.
		But this is a "kit" car or component car that has been wind-tunnel tested at 230mph - though current gearing on the car with the current driveline makes 160mph about the top end.
		The benefit to the GTR owner is an environmentally friendly, street legal race car - a car that offers extreme performance (0-60 in 3.3 seconds and 0-100 in 8.4 seconds, with a quarter-mile top speed of 117 mph in an 11.9-second run), great gas mileage AND low emissions.

	Sports car racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cars competing in the P1 category must weigh no less than 900kg and are limited to 6000cc naturally aspirated and 4000cc turbocharged engines.
		It is this close association with the 'exotic' nature of the cars that serves as a useful distinction between sports car racing and Touring Cars.
		In simplistic terms sports-prototypes are 2-seat Formula 1 cars and are as advanced and, depending on the regulations they are built to, as quick as their single-seat counterparts.

	Sports car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often vehicles in the muscle car, performance sedan/saloon or grand tourer (GT) category are referred to as sports cars even though they tend to lack the light weight and excellent handling characteristics of a true sports car.
		A large, powerful engine is not required; many of the early British sports cars lacked a powerful engine and did not accelerate as quickly as, say, muscle cars, but were known for having exceptional handling characteristics due to their combination of light weight, carefully engineered/balanced chassis and innovative suspension designs.
		Although some early passenger cars used this technique (e.g.

	Chrysler to produce Mercedes Benz SLR - AutoWorld.Com
		In the opinion of experts, the segment of top-class sports cars -- at which the Mercedes-Benz SLR is aimed -- will almost double during the next five years and reach an annual volume of approx.
		Like the current McLaren Mercedes racing car which carries the three-pointed star, the super sports car will have bodywork made of an intelligent combination of carbon fibre and other high-performance materials which ensure maximum rigidity and occupant protection at a weight that will set the standards in this category.
		Through the concept of the Mercedes-Benz SLR, DaimlerChrysler and McLaren intend to ensure the transfer of technology and image from their successful world championship Formula One partnership to series production, while at the same time reviving the legend of the Silver Arrows with this super sports car.

	BMW's 3 Series remains the sports sedan segment benchmark
		The BMW sports sedan dynasty actually began with a model called the 2002 that was a quantum leap from the previous motorcycle-based cars like the 700.
		It's pretty well agreed that BMW created the sports sedan segment with the 3 Series, a car that is still regarded as the benchmark in this category.
		Dynamically it is probably the best sedan in the world in terms of how it tells the driver what is happening.

	Joyrides -- Sports cars brighten up a gray day at Gilmore Museum
		Sports cars, an ill-defined category which spearheaded the imported car revolution in the United States after World War II, took the field on a threatening Saturday at the Gilmore Museum grounds north of Kalamazoo, Mich., providing some color and verve to the gray day.
		Because of their competitive racing heritage, sports cars seem to be more nationalistic than most cars and the show cars were grouped together on the viewing field by country of origin under that country's flag.
		The result was a more bare-bones approach to sports cars than was taken on the Continent.

	IMSA
		IMSA was founded in 1969 as a response to dissatification with the direction being taken by SCCA Pro Racing at the time; The IMSA GT category for sports cars quickly evolved into the popular GTP category for sports car prototypes, supported by GTO and GTU for cars bearing a greater resemblence to genuine roadgoing cars.
		In the early 90s, it was clear that escalating costs would soon kill GTP, and IMSA replaced the series with "World Sports Cars", which achieved a measure of popularity.
		As the Sport Car Club of America had been racing under their name for 49 years and has had a monthly publication named SportsCar® for most all of that time, this was treated seriously by the SCCA, and the SCCA came out on top in the legal environment flowing from the trademark infringement.

		For this reason, I think that cars like the teserossa and countach are supercars, even though their performance doesn't stand up to as many sports cars today.

		The Muscle car is a peculiarly American type of sports car, popular from the 1960s until a combination of spiralling insurance costs and the 1973 energy crisis largely killed off the category.
		Many models are small sports cars with two seats, but there are also popular convertible versions of larger cars such as the Saab 9-3 and the BMW 3-Series.
		SUVs have severe problems with crash incompatibility, and are typically of more primitive design than smaller cars.

	Muscle car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High-performance full-size or compact cars are arguably excluded from this category, as are the breed of compact sports coupes inspired by the Ford Mustang and typically known as pony cars, although few would dispute a big-block pony car's credentials as a muscle car.
		While purists would not consider a four-door sedan or station wagon a muscle car, the performance of the new models is the equal of many of the vintage muscle cars of legend.
		The high power of the muscle cars also underlined the marginal handling and braking capacity of many contemporary American cars, as well as the severe limitations of their tires.

		They are cheaper to run than a top Showroom Stock effort (engine rebuilds are perhaps 1/2 the cost), and the cars are generally based on production shells from between 1968 and about 5 years ago.
		Sports 2000 is a special case; it amounts to FF2000 chassis and engine rules, but with a requirement for second seat room, full fendered body work, and no wings.
		The plan was for Spec Racer (Renault) to vanish on January 1, 1997, with all Renault powered cars converted to Ford power plants.

		Compact cars are usually referred to the longest hatchbacks or the smallest family cars.
		The epitome of brute-force power, these cars shoe-horned giant engines into mid-sized cars (by the then US standard) which were often, from the factory, inadequate to handle the power and performance; handling was subordinate to straight-line acceleration.

		"The Monaro nameplate is an Australian icon and it will now be able to show its abilities on the racetrack against some of the world's greatest and most expensive sports cars," Holden Motorsport Manager John Stevenson said.

		Holden has given a sneak peek of what the racing version of the new Monaro might look like when it takes on the world's greatest sports car marques in the Australian Nations Cup Championship later this year.
