Mercedes-AMG GT vs Porsche 911 Turbo vs BMW i8

Image
Mercedes-AMG GT vs Porsche 911 Turbo vs BMW i8 For £1,795, you can have your AMG GT with the Dynamic Plus package. Have it. Not because of the dynamic engine and transmission mounts or the ‘specifically tuned' suspension that's included, but because it comes with an Alcantara (OK, Dinamica microfibre) steering wheel. Just the thing for soaking up those sweaty-palm moments. Which, as you might already have gathered, the GT is pretty adept at delivering. It did so in the Pennines, and now it's pretty busy doing so in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Sometimes you just wish the AMG GT would settle down a bit, stop being so fractious. Maybe it's upset by our reception committee, or maybe by the fact it's not leading right now (you get the impression that the GT likes to be in charge and gets grumpy when it isn't). Instead it's at the back of the line, forced to stare at the plump, rounded haunches of the 911 Turbo up front and skinny little tyres of the wingleted i8. Pic...

2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray vs. Ford GT

Image
2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray vs. Ford GT It took 50 years, but Chevrolet has finally introduced the mid-engine Corvette. The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray promises to be the quickest, most powerful Corvette yet, but how does it compare to Ford's halo car, the GT? Can this bargain supercar keep pace? Keep reading to learn how these two very different mid-engine cars stack up. Power The GT delivers 647 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque, well ahead of the base Corvette Stingray's 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque when equipped with the optional performance exhaust. That's a huge gap, but Chevy will undoubtedly release more powerful variants of the Corvette (perhaps a Z06 or ZR1), so expect the match-up to be closer once that happens. Whereas Ford uses a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, Chevy relies on its tried-and-true naturally aspirated 6.2-liter push-rod V-8. Chevy says this output is enough to propel the mid-engine Corvette to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds, but we'll h...

10 of the Oldest Cars in the World

Image
Vintage 1915 Ford Model T convertible | iStock.com/baileystock Have you ever wondered what the oldest cars in the world are? A quick answer may be the Ford Model T. That is understandable, since one of the few pieces of car history taught in American schools is Henry Ford’s contributions to the mass production of the automobile. Unless you have the desire to delve deep into automotive history, you may not even realize that the internal combustion engine is bit of a johnny-come-lately addition to the automobile, putting the Model T fairly far down the list of oldest cars in the world. Part of becoming a fan of car history is to realize that the oldest cars in the world were powered by steam. The oldest gasoline powered car was not built until 1885, when Karl Benz produced the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Eventually diesel and gasoline powered internal combustion engines proved to be easier to produce. The engines also proved to be more predictable and reliable to use as well as being more ec...
