[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Zagato, 1967 (2019). This is the fully restored Zagato prototype. Chassis No. 7T02A201813 rolled off the assembly line at the New Jersey plant on Feb. 21, 1967, before being shipped to Italy. Though the Carello rectangular headlights have been retained the wrap-over rear window of the 1967 Zagato concept has been replaced by more conventional fastback styling. Despite this the restored car has been given Zagato, ASI and FIVA certification. Pictured below is a photograph of the original car parked in front of the factory in 1967, found in the Zagato archives.

Two in One Post

For my Filipino Friend's Contest Post.

That looks really cool showing that nice screen tablet. And Crafty corn sure is making a nice painting. But what would be really cute is that she might paint Spot and Riya doing something cute together. Even Vanilla would enjoy Crafty Corn's paintings too and paint her something as well.

And also, that is a really nice Coffee Cup they reward you. Because my mom would love one of those to keep her tea with every time she drinks tea in the morning. And my grandfather too anytime he makes coffee.

And a response to my Filipino Friend.

Yeah I know how Cyberpunk can be a huge controversy in Video game history, but I was so glad I did get my hands on buying that game. One time my friend from Social Club wanted to give away some of his games for me to take off his hands free of charge. And it depends on what game sounds better every time I want something. And I sure do miss E3 though. And if we want to see new games come out, since we are Nintendo and PlayStation players, I'm sure we will check out Nintendo Direct and PlayStation State of Play. Those are the only videos of new games coming out in the future.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: Well if Alex wants to race us. That won't be a bad idea. I'm sure he's capable of wanting to race with us. Even when Tory is just racing in her Corvette since that's what she always likes racing in. And even if I get a secondary car besides the Ford Shelby GT, Like a Mustang, I bet it can be necessary for us to race with you guys as well as for Alex.

Tory 😺🩰: Sure, Shadow. Alex is welcome to race with us alongside the Speedster Twins. We should ask Alex what vehicle he can use for the rave so he can race with us.

Lisa 😺❤️⚡: She's right. Maybe Alex wants to race with us. And if Speedster and Riya wanted him to race with us, then I'm sure it won't be a bad idea.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: Okay. Let's see if we can get him set up with a car. And Spot and Riya, we'll accept Alex in the race with us.

Tory and Lisa 😺: That's the ticket! 😉👍

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Depreciation: A Deep Dive

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, a modern muscle car icon, has captured the hearts of automotive enthusiasts since its introduction in 2015. With its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine producing a staggering 707 horsepower (later increased to 717 hp), the Hellcat represents the pinnacle of American muscle car performance. However, like all vehicles, it is subject to the inevitable forces of depreciation. In this comprehensive analysis, we’ll explore the depreciation curve of the Challenger SRT Hellcat, factors influencing its value retention, and what this means for both current owners and potential buyers.

Initial Value and Pricing

When the Challenger SRT Hellcat first hit the market, it carried a base MSRP of around $66,990. This pricing positioned it as a premium offering within the muscle car segment, reflecting its exceptional performance capabilities. Many early examples sold for well above sticker price due to high demand and limited production, with some dealerships commanding markups of $20,000 or more.

Year-by-Year Depreciation Analysis To understand the Hellcat’s depreciation, let’s break down its value retention over the years:

1. First Year (2015-2016): The Hellcat experienced minimal depreciation in its first year, with many used examples still commanding near-new prices due to high demand and limited availability. Depreciation: Approximately 5-10%.

2. Second Year (2016-2017): As production ramped up and the initial hype settled, depreciation became more noticeable. However, it remained relatively modest compared to many other vehicles. Depreciation: Around 12-15% from original MSRP.

3. Third Year (2017-2018): By the third year, the Hellcat’s depreciation curve began to normalize. More used examples entered the market, and newer model years with slight improvements became available. Depreciation: Approximately 18-22% from original MSRP.

4. Fourth Year (2018-2019): The introduction of the even more powerful Challenger SRT Demon in 2018 had a slight impact on Hellcat values, though not as significant as some predicted. Depreciation: Around 23-27% from original MSRP.

5. Fifth Year and Beyond (2019-Present): As the Hellcat entered its fifth year and beyond, depreciation began to slow. The car had established itself as a modern classic, helping to stabilize values. Depreciation: Approximately 30-35% from original MSRP after five years.

Factors Influencing Hellcat Depreciation

Several factors have contributed to the Challenger SRT Hellcat’s depreciation pattern:

1. Limited Production: While not as rare as some special editions, the Hellcat’s relatively limited production numbers have helped maintain its value.

2. Enthusiast Appeal: The Hellcat has a strong following among muscle car enthusiasts, creating a robust secondary market.

3. Continuous Improvements: Dodge has regularly updated the Hellcat, including power increases and the introduction of the Redeye variant, which has kept interest high.

4. Economic Factors: Fluctuations in fuel prices and economic conditions can impact the values of high-performance vehicles like the Hellcat.

5. Competitor Offerings: The introduction of rivals like the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has influenced the Hellcat market.

Comparison to Segment Averages

When compared to the broader muscle car and sports car segments, the Challenger SRT Hellcat has demonstrated above-average value retention. While many sports cars can lose 40-50% of their value within the first three years, the Hellcat has managed to hold onto more of its initial value.

This performance is particularly impressive given the Hellcat’s high initial price point and specialized nature. It’s worth noting that lower-trim Challengers typically experience more rapid depreciation, highlighting the Hellcat’s unique position in the market.

Regional Variations

Hellcat depreciation isn’t uniform across all regions. Factors such as climate, local car culture, and economic conditions can influence values:

– Sunbelt States: Areas with mild climates often see better value retention, as the cars are less likely to face harsh weather conditions.

– Urban vs. Rural: Major metropolitan areas with active car scenes may see stronger Hellcat values compared to rural regions.

– Coastal Regions: Salt air can accelerate wear on vehicles, potentially impacting long-term values in coastal areas.

Impact of Mileage and Condition

As with any vehicle, mileage and condition play crucial roles in a Hellcat’s value:

– Low Mileage Examples: Hellcats with unusually low mileage (under 5,000 miles per year) often command significant premiums and may even appreciate in some cases.

– High Mileage Impact: Cars with above-average mileage (over 15,000 miles per year) will see accelerated depreciation, often 10-15% more than their low-mileage counterparts.

– Modifications: While some performance modifications can add value for enthusiast buyers, extensively modified Hellcats often see more rapid depreciation in the broader market.

Future Outlook Looking ahead, several factors could influence future Hellcat depreciation:

1. Electrification Trends: As the automotive industry shifts towards electrification, high-performance gasoline-powered vehicles like the Hellcat may see increased collectibility and potentially slower depreciation.

2. Regulatory Environment: Stricter emissions regulations could impact the long-term viability and value of high-performance combustion engines.

3. Dodge’s Future Plans: Announcements about the future of the Challenger lineup, including potential hybrid or electric versions, could affect current Hellcat values.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has demonstrated solid value retention for a high-performance vehicle. Its depreciation curve, while following expected patterns, has been less severe than many comparable sports cars. This resilience can be attributed to its limited production, strong enthusiast following, and continuous improvements over its lifespan.

For current owners, the Hellcat’s depreciation pattern suggests that their vehicles may continue to hold value relatively well, especially if maintained in good condition with reasonable mileage. Potential buyers in the used market should be aware that while depreciation has made Hellcats more accessible, well-maintained examples still command strong prices.

As the automotive landscape evolves, particularly with the shift towards electrification, the Hellcat’s position as one of the last great American muscle cars with a supercharged V8 engine may further enhance its appeal and potentially its long-term value. However, as with any high-performance vehicle, individual examples will always be subject to market conditions, maintenance history, and overall condition.

In the end, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat’s depreciation story is one of resilience, reflecting its status as a modern muscle car icon. Whether as a thrilling daily driver or a future collectible, the Hellcat continues to captivate enthusiasts and defy typical depreciation expectations in the high-performance automotive segment.

¡Mustang siempre ganador! el automóvil deportivo más vendido del mundo y el fastback más vendido por sexto año consecutivo

Por segundo año consecutivo, Ford Mustang, que celebra su 57º aniversario este sábado, es el vehículo deportivo más vendido del mundo. El famoso pony car también sostuvo su título del fastback deportivo más vendido por sexto año consecutivo.

En 2020 impulsado por el aumento de las ventas de los modelos de alto rendimiento como: Bullitt, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT350R y Shelby GT500, el Mustang lideró el ranking de la competencia con 80,577 ventas a nivel mundial, según los datos más recientes del registro de vehículos de IHS Markit*. Este resultado representa el 15.1% del mercado de vehículos coupé deportivos, frente al 14.8% del año anterior.

"Los fans del Mustang adoran sus vehículos y lo han demostrado una vez más", dijo Hau Thai-Tang, director de plataforma de producto y operaciones de Ford Motor Company. "En un año difícil para toda la industria automotriz debido a la pandemia, Mustang tuvo una gran participación, aumentando sus ventas en el segmento de los automóviles deportivos a nivel mundial".

Las ventas de Bullitt y Shelby en 2020 aumentaron un 52.7% con respecto al año anterior, según datos internos de Ford. La compañía busca continuar su éxito con los modelos de edición limitada, como el nuevo Mustang Mach 1 2021.

Estados Unidos sigue siendo el mercado global más fuerte para Mustang, representando cerca de tres cuartas partes del total de las ventas. Texas 8,600 vehículos, California 6,200 vehículos y Florida 5,864 vehículos, continúan siendo los principales mercados estadounidenses.

El aumento de ventas en varios mercados europeos también ayudó a que Mustang mantuviera su título como el automóvil deportivo más vendido en Europa. Según datos internos de Ford, las ventas de 2020 en Hungría aumentaron un 68.8% con respecto a 2019, al igual que las ventas en los Países Bajos 38.5%, Dinamarca 12.5%, la República Checa 5.6% y Austria 4%.

La SUV Mach-E totalmente eléctrica continúa con el impulso de Mustang

Fuera de los segmentos de vehículos deportivos, la nueva SUV totalmente eléctrica Mustang Mach-E superó las expectativas de ventas en febrero y marzo en su camino hacia la apertura de 2021 con grandes ventas en el primer trimestre, que alcanzaron las 6,614 unidades.

A finales de marzo, la demanda continuó creciendo y las unidades del Mustang Mach-E fueron vendidas en los distribuidores.

Los clientes de Mustang Mach-E, se inclinaron por el modelo premium. Mustang Mach-E 4X equipados con tracción total se han vendido más que las unidades con tracción trasera, mientras que los vehículos con baterías de autonomía extendida son más populares y capaces de recorrer hasta 305 millas**, según la EPA, con tracción trasera.

La nouvelle Ford Mustang GTD est un « tour de force technologique » en fibre de carbone, optimisé sur le plan aérodynamique et prêt pour la piste, qui remporte le titre de voiture de route la plus puissante de Ford à ce jour. Il sera construit en nombre limité à partir de la fin de l'année prochaine et au prix d'environ 300 000 $ (234 000 £) aux États-Unis. Autocar comprend que le Royaume-Uni recevra une allocation, par contre les chiffres et les prix restent à confirmer à ce stade. La GTD aurait été conçue "suite aux heures de travail" par "une poignée" d'ingénieurs dans un garage de stockage anonyme au siège social de Ford dans le Michigan, dans le but de créer "une Mustang capable d'affronter le meilleur des voitures de sport européennes". Ford vise un temps au tour inférieur à sept minutes au Nürburgring, un exploit qui placerait la GTD sur un pied d'égalité avec les supercars européennes, notamment la Porsche 911 GT2 RS, la Lamborghini Aventador SVJ et la Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series. Le PDG de Ford, Jim Farley, a annoncé : «[The] La Mustang GTD brise toutes les notions préconçues d'une supercar. C'est une nouvelle approche pour nous. Nous n'avons pas conçu une voiture de route pour la piste, nous avons créé une voiture de course pour la route. "C'est notre entreprise. Nous jetons le gant et disons "venez le chercher". Nous sommes à l'aise d'avertir tout le monde. Je prendrai du temps de piste dans une Mustang GTD contre n'importe quel autre patron automobile dans sa meilleure voiture de route. Conçue et fabriquée en partenariat avec la société de sport automobile Multimatic, qui a construit la supercar Ford GT, la nouvelle arrivée est en fait une refonte homologuée pour la route de la Mustang GT3 qui courra au Mans l'année prochaine. Il a été nommé d'après le classement GTD du championnat IMSA Sportscar, pour les voitures construites ont rapporté les spécifications GT3 de la FIA. Une puissance ciblée de plus de 800 ch du V8 fortement retravaillé et suralimenté fait de la GTD la Mustang la plus puissante jamais créée, surpassant même la Shelby GT500 de 700 ch de 2019. Il est davantage puissant que la Ford GT MK IV de 1,4 million de livres sterling révélée l'année dernière. Le moteur sur mesure de 5,2 litres est plus gros que celui équipant la Mustang de route standard et contient une suite de modifications dérivées du sport automobile - y compris un carter sec, des entrées d'air doubles et un système d'échappement à soupape active en titane (qui génère des "notes exceptionnelles ”) – à la poursuite des performances de Lamborghini. Il délivre ses réserves aux roues arrière de 345 mm de large via un arbre de transmission léger en fibre de carbone et une boîte-pont à huit rapports - cette dernière étant montée à la place d'une boîte de vitesses standard pour assurer une répartition du poids avant-arrière « proche de 50:50 », et car les simulations a prouvé que c'était le moyen le plus efficace de "mettre le pouvoir au sol".

Muscle Cars With The Best Power To Weight Ratio

Displacement figures, horsepower, and torque are great all-around numbers to gauge the performance of a muscle car. However, power-to-weight ratios are equally important. The power available to shift the car’s weight is just as important, with the example below being the top players in the market.

In other words, the lightest vehicle with the most power usually wins. This is determined by dividing the horsepower by the car’s weight, with the lowest number being the winner. On paper, this would mean strapping a rocket to the back of a go-kart to obtain the best power-to-weight ratio (PWR). But, in the real world fashion, history, expectations of the car, and materials all play a part.

2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Power-To-Weight Ratio: 4.72 lbs/hp

A supercar more than a muscle car, the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 can deliver 755HP, with 715 pound-feet of torque, a 0-60 time of 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 212mph. The 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine and seven-speed transmission have turned the long-standing classic into a modern powerhouse, but still with the bowtie attributes.

2022 Ford GT Power-To-Weight Ratio: 4.62 lbs/hp

In reality, the Ford GT was made as a long-distance sports car to compete in the 24 Hours of LeMans race, winning 4 times. The Ford GT has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 660 horsepower, 550 pound-feet of torque, a top speed of 216mph and a 0-60 time of 3.0 seconds.

2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170 Power-To-Weight Ratio: 4.17 lbs/hp

Finally, a full-fat muscle car and probably the most potent ever made. The 2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170 could be the last hurrah of the ICE muscle cars, but what a way to go out if that is the case. The 6.2-liter Supercharged Hemi V8 produces 1,025 horsepower, 945 pound-feet of torque, weighs 4,275 lbs, with a 0-60 time of 1.66 seconds, and a top speed of 2215 mph.

These stats have won the Dodge Challenger Demon 170 accolades as the Fastest Pony car, and the fastest factory Dodge muscle car ever produced. The PWR rivals lighter-weight European supercars to give you an idea.

  Other notable mentions include the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 with 5.5 lbs/hp PWR, The 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Redeye Jailbreak Widebody with 5.69 lbs/hp, The 1969 Dodge Dart GTS with 7.26 lbs/hp, and the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with 8.08 lbs/hp.
