When a car has to stand up to everything the road can give it, engineers specify alloy steels. You can depend on that. American Motors. The Tough Stuff.

Introducing a sensible alternative to the money-squeezing, insurance-strangling muscle cars of America. The American Motors Hornet SC/360.

Introducing a sensible alternative to the money-squeezing, insurance-strangling muscle cars of America. The Hornet SC/360. The Hornet SC/360 lists for only $2,663. Which is surprising when you consider what the September issue of Motor Trend had to say about it: The SC/360 is just a plain gas to drive. It has lightning quick per-formance... It handles like a dream, especially on the TransAm road course at Michigan Interna-tional Speedway where we had an opportunity to test it. A 360 CID V-8 engine with 245 horse-power is standard. So is a 3-on-the-floor, all synchromesh transmission. A heavy-duty clutch. D70 x 14 PolyglasTM tires. 14 x 6 mag style wheels. Space saver spare: Rally stripe. And individual reclining seats. To make it even gutsier, the SC/360 also comes with a long list of options. Among which you'll find a 4-barrel 360 V-8 that develops 285 horsepower. An all synchro 4-on-the-floor with Hurst shifter.. Ram air induction with hood scoop. 3.54 or 3.91 rear axle with Twin-Grip. Dual ex-hausts. White letter tires. Heavy-duty suspension. And a big tach. But even with the added cost of these options, the SC/360 ends up with a lower list price than most of its bigger, muscle-bound competitors. And because of its standard 12.5: 1 weight-to-power ratio, insurance on the SC/360 ends up lower, too. As a leading car magazine has said, 'The day of the heavy 400-cube, 400-horsepower supercar may be just about over.' 'Manufacturer's suggested retail price. Federal taxes in-cluded. State and local taxes, if any, destination charges excluded. If you had to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler what would you do? American Motors

Acelere, Ayrton! Veja o especial de Senna para a TV Bandeirantes gravado em 1986

Em fevereiro de 1986, Ayrton Senna, em seu segundo ano na Lotus e terceiro na Fórmula 1, concedeu para a TV Bandeirantes uma entrevista, que acabou se transformando em especial de uma hora.

O piloto falou sobre diversos temas, como sua infância, suas passagens pelo Kart, Fórmula Ford, Fórmula 3, a chegada à Fórmula 1 pela equipe Toleman, e uma prévia análise da temporada de 1986, que seria iniciada em 23 de março.

O programa, chamado "Acelere, Ayrton", foi gravado com Senna no Horto Florestal de São Paulo, no começo de 1986, quando a Fórmula 1 realizava seus primeiros testes de pneus e de motores, no Autódromo de Jacarepaguá, no Rio de Janeiro.

O documentário ainda conta com participações especiais de donos de equipe, engenheiros e pilotos, como Nelson Piquet, Ricardo Patrese, Christian Fittipaldi, Elio de Angelis, Stefan Johansson e Michele Alboreto.

A entrevista foi conduzida por Roberto Farias. A narração do documentário é de Adriana Riemer.

Why is it when the other car companies come out with sporty little cars, the cars come out looking the same? If you had to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler, what would you do? The American Motors Gremlin X.

Why is it when the other car companies come out with sporty little cars, the cars come out looking the same? There is an approach to the sporty little car that goes beyond the exagger-ated paint job. And the Gremlin X is the first little car to take it. It is,-basically and fundamentally, the first little car to break with the design traditions of Detroit. There is no traditional gentle sloping of the rear. There are none of the conventional curves around the front and sides. And there is no attempt to suggest more performance than there actually is. Instead of a fat black stripe down the hood, there are real fat tires. Fatter standard tires than the Vega GT, Pinto Rallye, Maverick Grabber, or Comet GT offer you. There are 4 of the new slot-style wheels and 2 bucket seats. The same bucket seats we put in our Javelin. And instead of non-functioning hood scoops, there is a standard 6 cylinder engine that develops 135 horsepower. More cylinders than Pinto and Vega. And more horsepower than all four. Even the Gremlin X's optional engine is a larger 6 cylinder than those offered by Comet or Grabber. It is 258 cubic inches and generates 150 horsepower. But no matter how sporty the Gremlin X gets, it is still the original American subcompact. With all the economy and maneuverability that implies. It gives you up to 25 miles to the gallon. And it is heavier, with wider front and rear tracks than any of the other four. Finally, the Gremlin X lists for only $2299. * Which is quite a bargain when you consider what you're getting for your money. Either a different-looking subcompact with the spirit of a sporty car. Or a different-looking sporty car with the advantages of a subcompact. If you had to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler, what would you do? The American Motors Gremlin X.

Um Porsche 911 GT3 RS é um sonho para muitos entusiastas. Só que é, financeiramente, muito distante para a maioria deles. No entanto, por uma fração do preço do carro de verdade, mais precisamente, 299,99 dólares, é possível ter uma versão miniaturizada em LEGO.

O kit completo possui 2.704 peças e vem com um grosso manual de instruções, que não só te ensina a montar o carro, mas também fornece detalhes sobre a versão real do mesmo. A versão final do brinquedo possui 56 centímetros de comprimento e 25 de largura.

BMW M Laptimer terá integração com câmeras GoPro

A BMW anunciou que seu aplicativo M Laptimer, disponível nas versões esportivas de seus modelos, poderá receber os vídeos gerados por câmeras GoPro instaladas no carro, enquanto é conduzido em uma pista, rodovia de alta velocidade ou mesmo enquanto o motorista leva seu filho à escola.

Isto será possível através de uma atualização de software do BMW M Laptimer. A captura do vídeo através da câmera GoPro é feita através de um pareamento Wi-Fi entre os dois dispositivos.
