Em 1971, nenhuma das "três grandes" montadoras de automóveis (lê-se General Motors, Ford e Chrysler) quiseram patrocinar o pace car para a Indy 500. Na época, o mercado de muscle cars estava enfraquecido.

Eldon Palmer, proprietário de quatro concessionárias Dodge em Indianápolis, ofereceu-se para suprir o carro-madrinha para a corrida de 800 quilômetros. O veículo escolhido foi um Dodge Challenger 383-4V.

The new American Motors AMX will be sold as democratically as possible.

The new AMX will be sold as democratically as possible.
We, American Motors, have over 2,300 dealers across the country who can sell more AMX's than we can make. And we will only make about 10,000 this year. In other words, we're faced with a mini-Supply of AMX's and a maxi-Demand for AMX's. In an effort to give everyone an equal chance to buy an AMX, we're resorting to the best solution we can think of. Like the House of Representatives, we will try to send a fair share of AMX's to each state, based on its propor-tionate population. For example, California, with a larger share of the people, should receive a larger share of AMX's. New Hampshire, with fewer people, won't get quite so many. It should all work out democratically. What Is It! The AMX is a 2-seater. For people who love sports
cars, but haven't the time or the money to take care of one. Priced at under $3,300: the AMX offers most of the advantages of a high-priced foreign car. . With none of the disadvantages associated with owning a high performance sports car. The costly disadvantages of constant maintenance and special engine tune-ups. In short, the AMX gives you the ease of maintenance associated with a family sedan, along with the sheer fun and maneuverability of a sports car costing thousands more.
The Engine. One Size Fits AIL The AMX body is made of steel.Which, while strong, is also heavy. So we tried an imaginative tethnique for reducing the AMX's total weight. We selected a lightweight engine block that combusts exactly the same power as a heavy block.

Why don't we enter high-performance American Motors Rambler V8s in racing? Because the only race the Rambler cares about is the human race!

Why don't we enter high-performance Rambler V-8s in racing? Because the only race the American Motors Rambler cares about is the human race!
Racing has a real fascination as professional driv-ers unleash raw horsepower and flaunt death. It's a thrilling sport—in the right place. Out of its proper place, racing is deadly. 'Yet there are those who are glamorizing and adver-tising race-track speeds in order to sell cars. This is not in the public interest, and Rambler will have no part in it. Glorification of horsepower tempts teen-agers to think high-speed driving is`in'—and safety 'out' —makes irresponsible drivers even more irrespon-sible, contributes to the mounting carnage on the nation's highways.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Rambler is strongly in favor of responsive horse-power and performance—offers engines up to 270 HP. But we are strongly against glamorizing raw horsepower and speed to the point where irresponsible drivers may be tempted to abuse them. We believe automobiles should have the best of both—a sensible and satisfying balance of performance and economy, as well as roomi-ness and handling ease. That's the way we build Ramblers.
While many people are still apathetic, growing numbers are joining Rambler's crusade against
the promotion of excessive speed and horsepower. Are Ramblers underpowered? Emphatically not! Every Rambler delivers spirited perform-ance. Our Ambassador, for instance, offers a 270-hp V-8. It would be no trick at all to beef up that rating to 300-hp or more. But it would serve you no better. Rambler's prime concern is for your safety, comfort, satisfaction, and savings. That's why every Rambler balances turnpike performance with sensible economy. It's why Rambler gives you Advanced Unit Con-struction, Double-Safety Brakes (separate sys-tems, front and rear); a Ceramic-Armored exhaust system that protects against rust and fume leaks. Plus optional headrests that act as headguards against whiplash if your car is struck from behind. Rambler spends millions on testing cars before they go on sale, millions more on safety advances. But not one cent to glorify speed. We welcome your comments, and invite you to join our crusade for safe motoring. American Motors Corporation, Detroit 32, Michigan.

2016 Volkswagen Golf GTi Clubsport S - Nürburgring Nordschleife - 7:49.21 Front-Wheel Drive Lap Record - Benny Leuchter - Onboard

NEW VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI CLUBSPORT S BREAKS NÜRBURGRING LAP RECORD, MAKES WÖRTHERSEE DEBUT

The most powerful Golf GTI ever breaks the lap record for front-wheel-drive cars on the Nordschleife, with a time of 07:49:21

Wolfsburg/Reifnitz, May 2016. The Golf GTI Clubsport S is the most powerful ever version of the Golf GTI and was built to celebrate 40 years of the iconic hot hatchback. With German racing driver Benny Leuchter (28) at the wheel, the car has just smashed the existing lap record for front-wheel-drive production cars on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with a time of 7 minutes, 49.21 seconds. This exclusive new vehicle, based on the Golf GTI Clubsport, makes its world premiere at the GTI event at Lake Wörthersee (4-7 May). The hard performance numbers of this new GTI are truly impressive: a power output of 228 kW/310 PS; 280 pound-feet of torque between 1,700 and 5.300 rpm; 0 to 62 mph acceleration in 5.8 seconds; a top speed of 162 mph; and an unladen weight (including the driver and luggage) that has been reduced to 2,998 pounds. But the raw figures don’t tell the whole story, as the record lap time around the Nordschleife demonstrates how fast this car actually is. The Golf GTI Clubsport S has an exclusive setting for the most demanding racetrack in the world, which can be accessed using the driving profile selector. This is possible because the car is fitted as standard with the individually configurable Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) and a driving profile selector. In the ‘Individual’ driving profile, the engineers have developed a setting that is fine-tuned to suit the unique conditions of the Nürburgring. Over and above that, the Comfort, Normal and Race settings are also available. The driver can still adjust the settings in the Individual profile, as usual, and can revert to the Nürburgring setting by resetting the Individual profile on the touchscreen menu. This unique configuration switches the Sound, Engine and Steering parameters in the Race profile as well as DCC to Comfort. However, in this instance an entirely different group of settings is hidden behind this option, instead of the normal Race and Comfort settings.
