Cameron joins Meyer Shank Racing Acura prototype squad for 2021 IMSA season

Meyer Shank Racing has confirmed that Dane Cameron will join Olivier Pla as full-time team-mate as the squad returns to the IMSA Prototype class for the first time since 2016.

MSR will join Wayne Taylor Racing in running Acura ARX-05s in the IMSA SportsCar Championship next year, after the brand’s previous partnership with Penske concluded at the end of this season.

Pla had already been announced as an MSR driver for 2021, having lost his part-time role with Mazda – which has cut back to one car for next season following Multimatic taking over from Joest as running the manufacturer’s operation.

Pla was part of Shank’s winning Petit Le Mans crew in 2016, the squad’s last race in the Prototype class.

Cameron, a former open-wheel racing rising star, won the IMSA GT Daytona championship in a Turner Motorsports BMW Z4 in 2014, before then taking the IMSA Prototype title in 2016 in the middle of a highly successful three-year stint at Action Express Racing.

He then joined Acura Team Penske in 2018, arguably becoming the star of the full-time line-up, and together with Juan Pablo Montoya clinched the 2019 title.

“I’m excited to join Meyer Shank Racing and continue my relationship with Acura and HPD,” said the 32-year-old Californian.

“I have a lot of experience with the ARX-05 and I know that car inside and out.

“It’s been really fun to be a part of the development of that car from the very beginning.

“It’s proven to be a race winner and a championship winner in 2019.

“I will certainly do my best to bring everything that I’ve learned about this car to the team and make sure that MSR and everyone gets up to speed quickly.

“I’ve known Mike [Shank] for quite a while now in IMSA but I haven’t had the opportunity to drive for him – I admire Mike’s passion for the sport.

“We’ve always talked about putting a programme together and it’s cool that we finally worked it out and I’ll get to drive for him next year with the Acura DPi.”

Shank added: “We’re very excited to have Dane join us next year.

“He’s proven that he is a top contender in one of the toughest classes out there.

“Just like what we did with the Acura NSX, he did for the Acura ARX-05.

“He developed that car and made it a championship-winning car.

“We’re happy to have him onboard and hopefully work towards bringing home another championship for Acura.”

The news comes hot on the heels of MSR winning its second straight IMSA GTD Teams’ title with the NSX, also earning Acura the manufacturers’ crown, and Mario Farnbacher and Matt McMurry the GTD drivers’ crown.

Meanwhile, Helio Castroneves and Ricky Taylor and Team Penske scored Acura its second straight Prototype crown with the ARX-05.

While AJ Allmendinger has long been confirmed as the squad’s fourth driver for next year’s Daytona 24 Hours, as per usual, the team’s third driver for all four endurance races has not yet been announced.

However, Colton Herta – who has raced the GTLM-class BMW M8s in enduros over the past two IMSA seasons – is understood to be one of the favourites for the ride.

The Audi R8: Origins, Generations, Specifications

All things Audi R8 on Automobile.

Audi R8 Essential History Despite a rich motorsports history with overwhelming success in both rallying and endurance racing, Audi's always remained at arm's length when it came to producing a true sports car. The once-popular Audi TT has most of the right ingredients, but the front-wheel-drive underpinnings pulled primarily from the VW Golf kept it well below the Porsche Boxster, Nissan Z cars, and BMW's assorted roadsters and two-seat coupes.

Since the early 1980s, Audi remained content developing high-performance versions of its premium coupes and sedans, focusing on promoting all-wheel drive technology and turbocharged engines, even if the resulting speed-specials were softer and more road-oriented than the adrenalin-charging weapons from Mercedes-Benz' AMG or BMW's M division.

It was only during the early-2000s when the reality of an Audi supercar began to coalesce, born from Audi's ongoing Le Mans domination and the then-recent acquisition of Lamborghini by the Volkswagen Auto Group. To amortize the cost of development of the nascent Lamborghini Gallardo and to bring Audi a little closer in-line with Mercedes and BMW, the plan for the mid-engine Audi R8—the brand's first supercar—took shape with the Le Mans Quattro concept in 2003.

Audi Le Mans Quattro Concept Visually, the Audi Le Mans Quattro concept was nearly identical to the production R8 that arrived in 2007, though the wild twin-turbo V-10 engine was tossed for a more production-friendly iteration of Audi's naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V-8. Power was reasonable for a mid-engine sports car of the era, with 414 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque sent to all-four wheels through either Audi's R-Tronic six-speed automated manual or a gated six-speed manual transmission. Zero-to-60-mph times for these early R8s were around the low four-second mark, with a top speed around 188 mph.

The Audi R8 Goes V-10 For the 2009 model year, the R8's Lamborghini roots shone in full-force, when the updated 5.2-liter V-10 from the Lamborghini LP560-4 was shoehorned into the R8. Fun fact—that Lamborghini V-10 is actually an Audi V-10 pulled from the S6 and S8. So, the R8 V10 actually uses an Audi V-10 pulled from a Lamborghini, but we digress. The V-10 engine increased the R8's output to 518 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, dropping the zero-to-60 mph sprint to 3.9 seconds, and raising top speed to 196 mph.

The Audi R8 Spyder Drop-top Spyder variants launched for both the V-8 and the V-10 models, with the V-8 adding an extra 14 horsepower over the V-8 coupe, growing the total to 428 horsepower, though torque remained unchanged at 317 lb-ft. The limited edition R8 GT arrived in 2011, cutting 220 pounds from the curb weight of the regular R8 V10, while increasing the V-10's output to 552 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. As you'd expect, the R8 GT also brought with it a range of suspension, braking, and aerodynamic upgrades over the regular car to compensate for the additional power and to enlarge the overall performance envelope. Production of the GT was limited to 333 units worldwide, with an additional 333 unit run of the corresponding R8 GT Spyder.

The first-generation R8 received a mid-cycle refresh for 2012 in the rest of the world, arriving in the U.S. in 2013 as a 2014 model year. The refresh brought mostly aesthetic updates, though a few significant mechanical upgrades were also brought to the R8, most significantly a new seven-speed dual-clutch replacing the balky R-Tronic automated manual transmission. Standard magnetic damping was also added for the R8 V10, an optional upgrade for the V-8 models.

The R8 V10 Plus arrived on our shores in 2014, adding a new range-topping trim with extra power and performance in the same vein as the older R8 GT. The same 5.2-liter V-10 as found in the standard R8 V10 was upgraded to 542 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque in the R8 V10 Plus, which also got a re-tuned suspension, updated interior, and massaged aesthetics.

Second-Generation Audi R8 After these short-lived upgrades, the first-gen R8 was replaced by an all-new model in 2015 for the 2016 model year. In keeping with the Lamborghini bones of the prior generation, the second-gen R8 shares much of its structural DNA with the Lamborghini Huracan. This includes the familiar 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10—the only engine offered at the moment—initially available with either 533 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque in the base R8 coupe or 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft in the R8 V10 Plus coupe. With the exception of the limited-edition R8 RWS (Rear Wheel Series), power is transferred to all-four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

For 2019, the second-gen R8 was updated with extra power and an aesthetic refresh. Power for the base coupe jumped to 562 horsepower and 413 lb-ft, while the newly renamed R8 Coupe Performance Quattro packs 602 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. Performance for all iterations of the second-gen R8 is impressive; factory-quoted zero-to-60 mph times range between 3.2 seconds and 3.5 seconds, though these times have proven to be conservative in independent tests.

Audi R8 Highlights Time will likely be kind to the Audi R8. The first generation of the supercar consistently ranks at the top of many enthusiast's lists of best designs of the 2000s, and it's only going to get better with time. Although older R8s may carry a bit of a stigma as simply a used supercar, give it time—or pick one up now, while they are at the bottom of their depreciation curve.

Once the first R8s are out of the too-new-to-be-classic but too-old-to-be-cool dead zone, the R8 will be one of the better ways to get into something genuinely exotic for not much more than the price of entry to a loaded mid-size crossover SUV. Early V-8s are particularly inexpensive to purchase, and compared to a Ferrari or Lamborghini of similar vintage, significantly less expensive to keep on the road. As far as upkeep price goes, think more than a BMW or Audi sedan, and less than an Aston Martin—maintenance on a regular Porsche 911 is likely a good comparison.

By design, the R8 of any generation is a more professional, lower-key supercar—if that's even a thing. The current R8 is priced closer to the Porsche 911 Turbo, current Acura NSX, and Aston Martin Vantage than to Lamborghini's Huracán or McLaren's 720s, but in our experience, the R8 doesn't fall far short of those more exotic models in performance or theater. In fact, we'd likely take a new R8 over any of the listed alternatives on the strength of its sound and the vicious launch control. We've also heard whispers that a first-gen Audi R8 V10 with the gated manual transmission is one of the best "exotic" experiences that can be had for less than $100,000, so there's that.

Audi R8 Buying Tips Audi R8s of any generation or spec are fairly robust and shouldn't provide too many undue surprises mechanically. A thick sheaf of maintenance records is always a welcome inclusion with any potential purchase, as is a pre-purchase inspection at a local specialist or dealer. Parts availability for the R8 is high, considering even the oldest R8s still have factory support from Audi—for now. As stated above, expect regular maintenance bills similar to what you'd expect of a Porsche 911.

If you are in the market for a first-gen R8, we highly suggest you seek only those with either the six-speed manual transmission or the later dual-clutch examples. Avoid the R-Tronic at all costs; it's clunky, slow, relatively fragile, and for some enthusiasts, ruins the overall experience. Engine type matters, too, as V-8s will obviously be more affordable than the V-10s, but there is a significant difference in both speed and upkeep between the two engines—as well as a difference in prestige, which can enhance (or detract from) collectibility.

Audi R8 Auctions Despite undeniable desirability, the Audi R8 isn't collectible enough to cross the stage at major auction houses—yet. Bring a Trailer never disappoints, as the healthy record of sold R8s is enough to give an idea of what you might pay for a first generation. For second-generation R8s—the current model—there are enough on Audi lots that you might be better off getting one straight from the source.

Audi R8 FAQ You have questions about the Audi R8. Automobile has answers. Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked Audi R8 queries:

Is The Audi R8 A Supercar? Absolutely. With any engine or transmission and from either generation, the Audi R8 is quick, fast, and visually stunning enough to be considered a supercar.

How Fast Does An Audi R8 Go? The early first-gen Audi R8 4.2s topped out at 188 mph, while the latest and greatest Audi R8 V10 Performance Quattro smacks a mighty 206 mph.

How Much Is The New Audi R8? The base 2020 Audi R8 will run you $171,150.

What Year Is The Best Audi R8? Hmm, great question. We reckon it depends on what you want from the car. For an engaging drive, we'd pick the cleanest first-gen V-10 with the gated manual we could find. However, the current R8 is stunningly quick and aurally spectacular as any car we've driven, so perhaps one of the few R8 RWS would find its way into our dream garage. ผลบอล7mคะแนน

BMW 2019 i8 Review: Driving yesterday’s car of tomorrow, today

The BMW i8 is a lovely vehicle to drive even though it’s lacking. It hugs the road and commands attention. It’s thrilling in a way that few cars can achieve without speed. Sure, it’s quick, but it won’t set track records or quarter mile times. It just feels great to drive.

By the numbers, there’s little reason to buy a $164,000 BMW i8 Roadster. Want speed? Buy a Porsche 911 Turbo for $161k or Corvette ZR1 for $123k or Nissan GT-R for $112k. Supercar aesthetics? Get an Acura NSX for $157k. Want all electric? Get a Tesla Model S. All are faster and cheaper than the BMW i8.

The BMW i8 is just a stepping stone in BMW’s history. An oddball. It’s a limited edition vehicle to try out new technology. From what I can tell, BMW never positioned the i8 as a top seller or market leader. It was an engineer’s playground. I love it.

[gallery ids="1853460,1853459,1853458,1853457,1853456,1853455,1853461,1853454,1853453"]

Review

BMW released the first i8 in 2014 when the automotive scene looked different. Tesla was still a fledgling startup with only the Model S in its lineup. GM was working on the second generation Chevy Volt. Hybrid powertrains seemed to be the answer, and BMW followed suit with the dual-power in the i8.

In 2015 I took the just-launched i8 from Vegas to LA in an epic, one-day adventure that took me through the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree National Park. It was a great way to appreciate the i8, and now that the model is on its way out, I wanted another go in the car.

This time, I had an i8 tester for a week. I took my kids to school in it, I got groceries with it, and in between rain storms, I lived my best life with the top down on in this $164,000 droptop.

It’s a lovely car and garners attention like nothing else in its price range. I noted this several years back when driving the i8 down the Vegas strip. The i8 is stunning and always draws a crowd. For my money, there isn’t a car that gets more attention.

The sheet metal flows as if a master glassmaker made it. It’s beautiful. The front end is aggressive and direct. The sides flow with precision to a back-end with some of the most unique tail lights available. The exhaust — remember, this is a hybrid — exits behind the rear window through a metal grate.

Don’t let its go-fast exterior oversell the capabilities though. The i8 is not as fast as it looks.

The i8 isn’t a quarter mile racer. This is a hybrid sports car with the heart of a grand tourer. This isn’t a car you want to take to a drag strip, but it could be fun at a track day. It’s a carver. Its low center of gravity lets it embrace the road. It’s silky through flowing corners.

Behind the wheel, the i8 is easy to love. The hybrid powertrain is smooth and free of drama. Hit the gas and go. Click the transmission to sport mode and its quick, but not fast. And that’s okay with me.

BMW got the inside of the i8 right. For a two-seat exotic, the i8 is comfortable and functional as long as the driver doesn’t need to transport golf clubs. The scissor doors open with little effort and offer enough room to enter and exit the car. The seats are supportive and comfortable. This 2019 version is equipped with BMW’s latest infotainment system which is among the best offered in the industry. There is very little storage available in the Roadster variant that ditches the back seats for the droptop storage. The trunk can hold four six-packs and nothing else.

When I drove the i8 in 2015, I stated that this was a car someone should buy only after they have their Porsche 911. That’s still true. While the i8 is easy to love, there are other vehicles available that offer more thrills and functionality.

The i8 is easy. Drivers shouldn’t fear to push the powertrain. It won’t bite, but it will provide plenty of excitement in the sport mode. The i8 doesn’t require the skill of other vehicles in its price range. If a Porsche 911 Turbo or Corvette ZR-1 is too much car, look at the i8. Or the Audi R8 — another sports car I found easy to boss around.

After a week of living with the i8, its performance was secondary to the experience. I’m convinced that the i8 doesn’t need raw speed to be enjoyable.

In 2014 BMW proclaimed the i8 to be the car of tomorrow, available today. And in some regards it was. The i8 was one of the first mass-production vehicles to pair an electric powertrain to a gas engine in the name of performance. Since then, nearly every exotic automaker is doing the same in various formats.

The i8 still feels like it’s a different type of vehicle than anything else available. It feels green. It feels healthy. But in the end, the i8 still relies on a dirty internal combustion engine while there are faster, better-equipped vehicles available that run on just electric motors.

Rumor is BMW is not making a direct successor to the i8, but the automaker will likely make an all-electric sports car. Eventually. And that would change everything. With just electric motors, a BMW coupe could offer serious speed while being more friendly to the environment. A pure electric i8 could be a game changer and a legitimate speed demon.

The 2019 i8 is a lovely vehicle and could bring serious enjoyment to the right person with its easy powertrain and stunning looks.

What the Corvette C8 Means for American vehicles

By Dave Ashton

The upcoming Corvette C8 has definitely raised eyebrows, not just for ‘Vette fans, but also for American sports cars, super cars and even muscle car fans. Why….it’s going to mid-engined to join the supercar club, a new platorm for ‘Vette fans and it’s going to bring more of the spotlight to American vehicles, which hopefully should trickle down to muscle cars and the like.

The release of the new ‘Vette is likely to be July 18 2019 at a special event in California, according to recent reports. GM have increase their workforce with 400 jobs at their Bowling Green Assembly Plant, Kentucky to hit the release date. Plus, orders are already being taken, already pulling interest away from the current and most amazing ‘Vette yet, the C7.(more on that later….)

I spy.. So, with more predictions online about the upcoming C8 than a Medieval soothsayer’s diaries, we have the following certain maybes. The base powertrain could be a version of the Corvette’s 6.2-liter LT1 V8 engine with 500HP. Other powertrain variants may follow like a 1,000HP hybrid. Designwise, everything has been shaken up to be very supercar-like with reports saying the exterior looks very Ferrari-like.

All sightings have been up to now of camo. versions, but at least it gives a small indication the final design which looks to also have heaps of C7 influence. Just check out the video clip below.

Power levels A predicted thousand horsepower hybrid, 8 speed dual clutch transmission and a base model with 500 horses, with a possible middle version producing 800HP. Autoweek have put together some great info-graphics of predicted power to weight for a range of supercars and possibly where the C8 will fit in. The same goes for their other graphic below which shows the dollars per HP value.

The 1,000Hp hybrid C8 beats out the Ferrari 488 Pista and McLaren 720S. While the base version C8 stacks up against the Aston Martin DB11 and Acura NSX. If pricing is correctly predicted, then the new C8 sits on top for value dollars per HP, just like a the rest of the muscle car pack.

Images by Autoweek

Sales We all want the latest, most shiny things and this has proven to be the same with the C8. The general consensus is that C7 sales have slowed as many people are waiting to buy the C8, rather than the current C7. Even though the C7 ‘Vette is said to not just be the best version ever, it’s also an amazing car in its own right. Even so, having a ‘supercar’ badge rather than top end sports car, will always be the preference. Superman just wouldn’t be the same if he was just called ‘Man.’ ‘Super’ just has a special significance for us all.

‘Vette sales fell around 12 percent in the first quarter of 2019 from 4,457 units than the previous year to 3,943 units this year. Chevy are even offering $3,000 off any 2019 Corvette model in May 2019 to current Corvette owners or 0% APR on certain models. This is a rare offering by the company, but a definite indication that the C7 is still the center of attention.

According to a Bloomberg article, one Corvette dealer says they have been taking deposits for the C8 Corvette since 2014. ‘People are canceling their orders (on 2019s) and starting to hold back, because they want to wait and see what’s going to come out, ‘ said Sean McCann, floor manager at Stingray Chevrolet near Tampa, Fla.

Win one… If you want to try and win a 2020 mid engine Corvette C8, then the National Corvette Museum have secured themselves a build slot for one of the C8 cars. The raffle will take place in August with tickets costing $250 each, but there are only 1,500 tickets available.

Trickle-down effect The C8 Corvette is a Halo car, meaning that its light will shine over the rest of the range. The hope is to attract younger buyers, but also a ligit supercar fom Chevy means focus may also turn to other American vehicles and even the muscle car clan. Basically, those who look at the C8 may also take a passing interest in other American vehicles. ‘Hmmm, whats that Hellcat thing or that GT500…?’ Even if it’s just a passing glance, it’s at least raising awareness that these vehicles exist and provide not just a thrilling ride, but also some of the best HP per dollar value.

So the C8 maybe going up in status, but hopefully it will bring the rest of the league with it. At the least from an awareness point of view, even if it is to just find out about long-standing, carmaker rivalry.

Every Mid-Engined Sports Car You Can Buy in 2019

Acura NSXAs appealing as it might be to start in the middle of this group and work our way out, that makes no sense, so the first entry on our alphabetically ordered list is the Acura NSX. It's the only mid-engined vehicle made in America (Ohio, actually), although not by an American automaker. A technological powerhouse, the NSX combines a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 with a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and an electric motor driving the rear wheels, with a pair of electric motors driving the fronts. Their combined might is a satisfying 573 horsepower, and the car can even drive for brief periods on electricity alone.Acura

Alfa Romeo 4C SpiderThe Alfa Romeo 4C Spider-the fixed-roof coupe model was recently dropped from the lineup-is one of the sprightliest mid-engined sports cars out there. Note that we said "sprightliest," not "sportiest." It’s a sensations car as much as a numbers car. A tiny 1.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers its 237 horsepower in peaky swells and emits a farty exhaust blat and plenty of turbo whooshing sounds while doing it. The steering is manual (no power assistance!) and the 4C is very lightweight, thanks to its exotic (particularly for the price) carbon-fiber-tub chassis. The Alfa's limits are high, but the feedback through the controls is where joy is derived when behind the wheel of one of these flyweights.Alfa Romeo

Audi R8Audi's R8 is closely related to the Lamborghini Huracán but costs much less. That makes it a value, so long as you're okay with the R8's less flagrant styling and more mainstream badge. Beneath the Audi's long rear deck sits the same 5.2-liter V-10 engine used by the Huracán and the same basic dual-clutch automatic transmission. The two cars' body structures are vaguely similar. Even so, the Audi is set up better for everyday use, and its V-10 engine offers less horsepower than the Huracán's (two outputs are offered in the R8; buyers can either have 562 horsepower or 602 horsepower). Coupe and convertible body styles are available.Audi

BMW i8 We can see how it'd be easy to write off the BMW i8. For all its wild looks, the sports car has a pint-sized 1.5-liter three-cylinder and is-gulp-a plug-in hybrid. Off paper, things get more interesting: There is an electric motor dedicated to spinning the front axle and another assisting the surprisingly powerful turbocharged three-cylinder turn the rear axle. Total system output stands at a substantial-for the i8's weight-369 horsepower, making BMW's first mid-engined sports car since the legendary M1 quick indeed. And as of 2019, there is a Roadster model in addition to the coupe, which debuted for 2014.BMW

Bugatti ChironBugatti's Chiron is far and away the most expensive, exotic, and powerful machine on this roster. It follows the groundbreaking Veyron, the top-speed-famous hypercar whose quad-turbocharged W-16 engine the Chiron borrows (with modifications, of course). That massive engine sends 1500 horsepower to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. There's a Sport version offered as well, with the same engine output but a more handling-focused setup. The Chiron will cost you a shade under $3 million, while the Chiron Sport goes for $3.26 million-either sum is enough to purchase one of every other vehicle listed here, which you might have to do, given the quickly disappearing build slots for the last 100 or so Chirons slated for production.Bugatti

Ferrari F8 TributoWhen you think of Ferrari, you're as likely to imagine a mid-engined supercar as one with its engine in its nose-even though Maranello currently sells only one vehicle with a mid-mounted engine, the F8 Tributo. The Portofino, GTC4Lusso, and 812 Superfast all hold their engines up front. Ferrari's mid-engine rides are easy to conjure because they're usually the highest performers; think back to the iconic F40, the Enzo, and more recently, the LaFerrari. The F8 Tributo certainly strives for such performance, adopting the 710-hp twin-turbo V-8 from its 488GTB predecessor's track-focused Pista variant, along with decidedly prettier bodywork, even if that last bit doesn't do anything specific to enhance performance. Look for a topless F8 Tributo Spider to join the lineup in the near future.Ferrari

Ford GTPending the arrival of a new challenger-say, one from Chevrolet, cough cough!-the Ford GT is the only mid-engined supercar currently offered by a major American automaker. Weirdly, it isn't built here; instead, it is assembled in Canada. In any event, the lone American-badged mid-engined supercar upholds its special station splendidly while doubling as a showcase for the Blue Oval's downsized, turbocharged EcoBoost engine technologies: The GT's radically shaped carbon-fiber body houses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 making 647 horsepower, nearly 100 more than the previous-generation GT's supercharged V-8. Even though there remain 350 cars of the 1350-car production run yet to build, Ford closed the order books for the GT this past November. So unless your application was accepted, you'll have a tough time getting your hands on one.Ford

Lamborghini Aventador S / SVJLamborghini's arch rival, Ferrari, may have turned to a majority front-engined lineup, but the raging-bull brand sure hasn't. Since the drop-dead gorgeous Miura appeared in the late 1960s, Lamborghini's sports cars have mostly been mid-engined, including the brand's current flagship, the Aventador. Offered in S or amped-up SVJ spec, the Aventador situates a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 in the center of its carbon-fiber monocoque. The base Aventador S squeezes 729 horsepower from that V-12; the SVJ ups that figure to 759. Both route their engine's might to all four wheels, and both can be purchased in coupe or convertible form. Lamborghini

Lamborghini Huracán EvoOnly in the company of the Aventador could the Lamborghini Huracán be considered "lesser than" in any normal sense of the phrase. In practically any other context, the entry-level Lambo is a beast in its own right, a proper supercar with a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10 fitted right in its midsection, behind the passenger compartment. For 2020, the Huracán adopts the Evo name, a transition that brings styling updates and now 631 horsepower from that naturally aspirated V-10, the same power rating as the pre-Evo Huracán's spicier, Nürburgring-eating Performante model.Lamborghini

Lotus Evora 400With the Elise and Exige having long aged beyond compliance with U.S. safety regulations (and subsequently pulled from the market here), Lotus is down to a single model in America: the Evora, one of only two mid-engined vehicles here sporting more than two seats. Behind the Evora's 2+2 cabin sits a 3.5-liter supercharged V-6 engine that dispatches 400 horsepower to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. At $91,785 to start, the 400 is one of the few mid-engined sports cars available for five figures (however, later this year, its price will go up).Lotus

McLaren 570S / 570GTMcLaren's entry-level Sports Series models, including the 570S coupe, 570S Spider, and 570GT, are cooked up with the same essential ingredients as everything else the company makes. That means a twin-turbo V-8 (in this case displacing 3.8 liters and producing 562 horsepower) nestled in the middle of a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The only difference among the trio of 570-badged McLarens is their roofs: The 570S is a fixed-roof coupe, the Spider has a retractable top, and the 570GT has a fixed roof but with a large glass hatch covering a vestigial cargo area behind the seats.McLaren

McLaren 600LTSimilar to how the discontinued 675LT was more powerful and harder of core than the also-defunct 650S on which it was based, McLaren's 600LT is its next-level take on the 570 models. The 600LT is the third model to get the "Longtail" treatment, after the McLaren F1 GTR and 675LT, and it kicks up the output from the 570S's twin-turbo V-8 to 592 horsepower. Everything from the suspension to the aero kit has been upgraded to deliver an altogether more focused, track-ready driving experience. Most of the coupes have already been spoken for, but the Spider version is available from $259,000.McLaren

McLaren 720SStanding above McLaren's Sports Series models are its Super Series cars, which currently are made up entirely of the 720S and 720S Spider. These cars also use a carbon-fiber monocoque but trade the Sports Series models' 3.8-liter V-8 for a 4.0-liter unit good for 710 horsepower. This British answer to Italy's F8 Tributo and Huracán Evo starts at $287,245 and is otherworldly on a racetrack.McLaren

Porsche 718 Boxster / CaymanPorsche's entry-level sports cars, the 718 Boxster convertible and the 718 Cayman coupe, are its only mid-engined models. The 918 Spyder shared their powertrain layout in the basic sense, but that hypercar has long been off the market, and the iconic 911 still situates its engine way out in its tail. Every 718 is powered by a turbocharged flat-four engine, albeit with a few differences. Namely, the base cars have 2.0-liter engines that produce 300 horsepower, while the S and GTS versions use a 2.5-liter with a different turbo to kick out 350 and 365 horsepower. Beyond trim, buyers must choose between the Cayman coupe and Boxster convertible and either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. With pricing that starts at $58,150, the 718 is the most accessible way to a brand-new mid-engined sports car in America today.Porsche

Coming Soon: Chevrolet C8 CorvetteThe Corvette has, since its inception in 1953, had its engine placed up front. But the highly anticipated forthcoming eighth-generation model (C8) is shattering that tradition and going mid-engined. This new Vette is scheduled to debut in July, and final specifications are being held until then (along with the car's uncovered styling). We're expecting the C8 Corvette to launch with a 6.2-liter V-8 adapted from the outgoing C7 model, transmitting upward of 500 horsepower through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox to the rear wheels. Look for more powerful versions to follow, with turbochargers and even a hybrid gas-electric model joining the sports car's all-American performance, uh, performance.Chevrolet

2019 Acura NSX Exterior And Interior

2019 Acura NSX Interior

Considering the style, this auto reveals hints using the just recently introduced 2016 Honda S660 as well as the long-awaited, 2nd-gen Acura NSX, though the little decorative mirrors and over-the-leading styling continue to recommend that the vehicle visualized inside the pictures is probably a concept car than a long-term creation car. Nevertheless, with that sort of jumping position, it didn’t acquire wish for the graphic performer to summon the outstanding providing you can see on this page, uncovering what exactly may be an exceptional middle-degree performance roadster. 2018 Toyota 4Runner

Much like the NSX, smaller scaled automobiles would take advantage of the current in-car innovation, with all the remainder from the cabin probably paying attention more about bodyweight financial savings than higher-finish- exclusively if it performs, in fact, have got a Honda badge quite of any Acura.

There is not any telling exactly what tips are organized by the body job of the lorry displayed in the patent picture, however, with the enormous air usage and vents at the back of this auto, it can surely possess a middle of the engine design similar to the NSX and S660. Beyond that, studies show this car will probably be driven by a turbocharged, 2.-liter several-cylinder engine by having a production of close to 330 horse potential, and a collection of electric powered motors in front axle to supply another 70 horse potential, providing the car a combined output of 400 horse energy. To maintain bodyweight lower, the manufacturer-new design will use an aluminum frame with cheap deals of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic-type material, supplying the car an approximated curb body weight of near to 3,000 kilos.

2019 Acura NSX Specification And Spy Photo

2019 Acura NSX Specification And Spy Photo –  If a 3868-pound, all-wheel-drive hybrid happens you as a wondering sequel to the original bantamweight NSX, you are not the only one. As vehicle-performance lead expert Jason Widmer shows it, the first potential customer of a gas-electric NSX induced as significantly hand-wringing within Honda’s hallways as increased eyebrows exterior them. In the early shot of the new car, NSX miles regularly put straight down quicker laps without the battery-electric assist process which was designed to make the issue faster.

2019 Acura NSX Future

Which had been more than 5yrs back, and the Acura NSX hybrid-electric method is now an entirely designed bit of go-speedier system. The car moving out of Marysville, Ohio, quickly brings together two turbochargers, about three electric motors, some motivated rims, six cylinders, and nine forwards gears to create bona fide supercar performance. That won’t help it become any significantly less controversial; there are an unlimited amount of tips as to what a resurrected Acura NSX must have been. The concept that won out is a going check your bed for the future of performance technologies. “You will not likely find a car in this particular category in 10 years that won’t have electrification. I am confident on that,” Widmer says.

2019 Acura NSX Exterior And Interior

Widmer might have been referring to McLarens, Lambor­ghinis, and Ferraris as he made his 10-year forecast, but the electrification of performance won’t cease at supercars. Defying physics, the electrons are poised to circulate into iconic performance cars in which there’s a lot more level of resistance. Hybridized 911s and BMW M3s are an eventuality, not only chance. This Acura NSX is a preview of items to appear. The chassis is regularly awakened even if the powertrain isn’t. With $1960 worth of Pirelli P nothing Trofeo R auto tires gluing the tires to the pavement, our check car vigilantly transported each and every minute directing enter to the streets no matter of the mode. Even as the steering weight ramps on top of the more excellent options, the NSX transforms in with zeal and precision. Most outstanding, the NSX never belies its weight, regardless how fast the pace or how sharp the area.

Changes since trouble-free, and as lengthy as the pavement is sleek, the body remains to be toned. That body is a lot a hybrid as is the powertrain. It’s manufactured mostly of lightweight aluminum castings, stampings, and extrusions, but the A-pillars, roof structure beams, and windshield header are all made of metal. For Acura, the hybrid program that health supplements the 500-hp V-6 performs flawlessly to the character of the Acura NSX, the two old and new. Much like the unique, the new NSX is every single little bit as civilized as it is quick. The wide-open sightlines, the spacious cabin, and the seating that accommodate the regular American are as well known in this particular class as are the electric motors that offer it quick off-the-line thrust. It is a supercar without having a The Lord sophisticated, as unpretentious as a car with the engine powering the driver and a half a dozen figure price on the home window can be. More than every other modern day car, the NSX is a product or service of whatever of its some settings-Calm, Sport, Sport-Additionally, and Path is active at the moment. Along with the frequent calibration changes to the electrically helped steering, adaptive dampers, and balance management process, the NSX assumes a different persona depending on how it combines inside combustion and electric thrust.

2019 Acura NSX Engine

Due to the fact, there’s nothing at all “normal” about a 573-hp, torque-vectoring, petrol-electric mid-engined Acura, engineers known as the NSX’s go into default neighborhood mode “Sport.” It strikes us as a misnomer, although, since getting the NSX to increase enthusiastically within this method needs high, deliberate throttle inputs. It’s most suitable for city settings, whereby the reduced finish torque of the electric motors-two up front and a 3rd, bigger system mated to the engine pulls the NSX away from the collection quicker than traffic, but without having spun the engine much above 3000 rpm.

In contrast to the gentle-mannered Sports method, a Quiet setting is the personal-effacing, practically apologetic approach to pilot a reduced-slung, Valencia Red Pearl-colored origami supercar through a crowd; it will kill the V-6 whenever you can. It is not, even so, a silent mode. The engine nonetheless fires when you start off the car in Peaceful setting, although it revs only as substantial as the 1500-rpm fast idle and noises as tight as a Honda Odyssey mini­van warming up its cata­lysts. When the powertrain is hot, the Peaceful method mainly acts such as an intense stop-start off process.

2019 Acura NSX Price And Release Date

So are we. The NSX is not the initial of its form to fine mesh electrons and hydrocarbons in the quest of velocity, but give Acura credit for so rapidly democratizing the technological innovation. Despite having a starting up a price of $157,800, the NSX is hard facts of the type of trickle-lower economics which operates. Sacrificing a fraction of the performance and the natural electric driving a vehicle capacity of the Porsche 918 Spyder netted Acura a $700,000 price reduce because of its middle-engined hero.
