What can be said about the website which has over sighted the number of 1986 Renault sports car that have been sold in U.S. and still have just added the sports car to its directory. Many versions of Le Car are available, including the French Version. The specialty of this version is the presence of soft suspension. 1986 Renault Sports is simply outstanding regarding its features and the numbers of features it possess are just opposite to its size. It can be said about it that good things come in small packages. Like other small cars which have highly dysfunctional springs, the 1986 Renault sports emerges out as a winner. Thus for suspension, the springs are just not available, instead it uses the torsion bar technology to achieve suspension. The handling of the car is also easy as the steering acts by pinion and rack. Importantly it does not have power steering therefore making parking a bit heavy. In this edition the position of the engine is not like others, being in transverse position instead it is mounted behind the transmission. It is extremely well engineered to give more space at the back to put things by putting the spare wheel under the hood. The engine of the car is very strong 1289cc, with four cylinders, having 58 horse power energy, which makes it even bigger and stronger than other cars and making the wonders is its ability to choke manually. The only problem with it is that it creates some noise. The hatchback also possesses the best hatches having VW rabbit beat which has its opening from roof. Adding to its features is its ability to provide more space as the rear seat can fold in the forward direction to make space for your necessities. Thus operating the 1986 Renault sport (Le car) is much more exciting and has loads of fun. To start the car, requires manual choke, accompanied by heating of engine for some time so that one
does not get stuck in traffic. The 1986 Renault sport is better than the 1980 version in which
the catalytic converter was absent. Also is the problem of changing the gear. 1980 version
in comparison to 1986 Renault sport was much lousy as while changing the gear it caused
problems, as when you are putting the first gear it automatically gets turned to right. Thus all the gears in it followed some kind of circular path. One more problem was the absence of a button for horn, instead of which a stick was present to solve the purpose. Thus the 1986 Renault sport is much better than the 1980 version of it. Thus after so many years of its release in 1986 the 1986 Renault sport also called the Le car has succeeded to maintain its dignity and honor by still proving to be one of the best cars one can dream of and what a engineering student would always aspire to make

When the visionary designer Colin Chapmen first set out to design the Lotus 7 he had lightness, speed and agility at the forefront of his mind. What he could not of know was that he was about to create a timeless design classic, which still has the ability to embarrass supercars costing over ten times as much.

The first Lotus 7 was released to the public in 1957 and cost £1000 pounds to buy new. However the simplicity of the design meant that Lotus could also offer the 7 in kit form where it would cost half as much. Chapman’s constant aim throughout all of his cars at Lotus was to lightness, ensuring that the cars he produced had supreme agility and road holding.

As Lotus grew in stature Chapman realised that the company would need to shed its kit car image if they were ever to be considered a serious supercar manufacturers and so, in 1973, the designs and rights to the Lotus 7 were sold to Caterham Cars and the new Caterham 7 was born.

Searching for a quality luxury car will inevitably bring anyone to the rather apt adjective, ‘exotic’. Exotic food or exotic beauty may be more clearly defined, but what really makes for an exotic sports car?

Sleek and Elegant Design

Part of what makes an exotic sports car is the vehicles streamlined, sleek, and smooth designs, all of which serve functional purposes to the overall performance of the car albeit being so highly aesthetically pleasing.

Indeed, even exotic sports car makers know emphasis that car enthusiasts and racers put on design per se. After all, owning an exotic sports car in contrast to owning a car is, in itself, a status symbol. This status is endowed not only by the make of the car but also the style and visual appeal.

In fact, companies like Ferrari even employ design houses to come up with their car designs. Design powerhouse Pininfarina, for example, designed the 2002 Ferrari ENZO.
