It was handbuilt by Zagato. It was entirely in aluminium and with plexiglass window
The lightened Sprint Zagato (SZ) was light, fast, and expensive.
Two hundred seventeen were built.
The original design with a rounded rear and with the last thirty (some say 46) receiving a longer kamm-style rear end as well as disc brakes up front
The original design is called the "Coda Tonda" (round tail), while the Kamm-design is referred to as the "Coda Tronca" (truncated tail).
The Coda Tronca is sometimes also referred to as the "SZ2".
They were built firstly in December 1959. Production continued into 1962.
Zagato also rebodied a few existing cars with this bodywork.
This lead to discrepancies in the production numbers.
The SZ was very successful in racing, on a national level as well as internationally.
The SZ helped Alfa Romeo secure a victory in the 1.3 litre class of the International Championship for GT Manufacturers in 1962 and 1963. Michel Nicol won the Tour de Corse in 1957.

This is the brand new Hellcat 6.2L Hemi engine. This is what is put in the new Challengers/Chargers. This beast can push out over 700hp of power. But soon enough the V8 is going go away and everything is going to V6s which sucks but that’s how things are going
Next, came the Chevrolet Camaro. When the team of specialists and engineers at GM got there head together, they formed one of the best sports cars to date: The Chevrolet Camaro. When the Chevrolet Camaro was first introduced back in 1967, it was not thought very much of. The Ford Mustang had been out on the market now for quite some time and had made a very good impression on its buyers and the spectators. After General Motors pushed the sales campaign and got the first few buyers to commit they were hooked from day one. The word of mouth quickly spread of the sheer enjoyment of the Camaro vs. the Mustang. The Chevrolet Camaro provided a cheaper and better all around alternative to the Mustang. The Camaro came with loads more options and not to mention the stand features alone out did the Mustang's. The biggest reason for sales increase was the power delivered by the Camaro. The Camaro was able to astonish the buyers with loads of power, given the time period, for a cheaper price of the Mustang. Chevrolet too competes with Ford in the bigger and better race to a super sports car. Once such creation is a 600 HP Big Block Camaro. The Camaro was developed as more of a show car to show people what can be accomplished with aftermarket products as well as the time and effort to put into a car. The horsepower that the Camaro develops is unbelievable. "Horsepower builds with straight-line progressivity from 2,000 RPM (187-HP) to 6,000 RPM (600 angry ponies)" (Karr 48 -
The 1960's was a big time for muscle cars, and the Plymouth Road Runner was one of the best. It was great on the street and even better on the race track. In 1976, Plymouth made a big mistake, they made a new Volare Road Runner that wasn't even as close to as good as the others. Its engine only had 160 horsepower and it rusted so much that Plymouth had to recall it. Another car that didn’t do so well was the Delorean. Even though it was a big hit in Back to the Future, the actual car didn't meet standards. The 1980 to 1981 Delorean DMC-12 might have had gull wing doors and the body panels might have been stainless steel, but compared to five other sports cars it was the slowest

Sprint Cup Series cars are unique in automobile racing. The engines are powerful enough to reach speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h), but heavy weight - coupled with a (relatively) simple aerodynamic package - makes for poor handling. Their bodies and chassis are strictly regulated to ensure parity or equality, and electronics are generally Spartan in nature.

Edsel also managed to prevail over his father's initial objections in the inclusion of a sliding-shift transmission. The result was the successful Ford Model A, introduced in December 1927 and produced through 1931, with a total output of more than 4 million. Subsequently, the Ford Company adopted an annual model change system similar to that recently pioneered by its competitor General Motors (and still in use by automakers today).
This beast of an engine harnesses a mind-blowing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. The fuel economy is also pretty great, measuring in at 16 mpg combined, regardless of which transmission is
In October of 1908 Henry Ford proclaimed “I will build a motor car for the common man, and that’s when the Model T was born. In the 19 years of the Model T’s existence, Ford built more than 15 million of the Model T and they were sold around the world. In fact in their time Model
The corvette was first introduced in January 1953. To experiment with the car, they only made 300 cars, which were all made by hand and powered by a 235-cubic-inch 6-cylinder engine. The corvette was designed to show the world that General Motors could make a sports car that was a stylish two seater. All 1953 corvettes were polo white with red interiors. The engine of the car generated 150 horsepower and had a 2-speed power glide automatic transmission. Researchers have found that the first corvette has been known to go over 150 miles per hour.

In the fall of 1964, Ford included an entirely new Mustang engine lineup and the addition of the GT group.
