Sports Cars


Sports cars or racing cars are designed for performance driving. As compared to passenger cars, sports cars have superior road handling, braking, manoeuvrability, low weight, and high power. Sports cars generally have rear-wheel drive, two seats, and two doors. The drive train and engine layout is the main design criteria of a sports car. The front-engine, rear-wheel drive train layout (FR layout) is common to most of the sports cars. But some sports car manufactures such as Porsche use the rear-engine, rear wheel drive layout for powering the rear wheels. Some of the leading manufacturers of sports cars are Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes Benz.
