Feel the Power of Muscle Cars

Tweet

When you say muscle cars, what comes to your mind exactly? For me, it's a car that shows strength, power, masculinity, and a car that would definitely win you a lot of girls (I already have mine so I'm excluded lol just playing it safe)...

  But according to wiki, A muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high-performance automobiles. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving. 

However you define it though, one thing's for sure, a muscle car will always be something that will make you feel weak and leave you in amazement when you see one. So below are some amazing muscle cars for you to feel the power! Yeah Feel the power!

Emirates Classic Car Festival Finale

Tweet

Currently, we have 2 episodes of Emirates Classic Car Festival (links episode1! and episode2!), but this 3rd Episode is definitely the best episode and will showcase some Elite Classic Cars that will awe everyone for sure!! Let's start!

1. Bentley 8-Litre Luxury Car

1. Bentley 8 - The Bentley 8 Litre was a luxury car based on the largest rolling chassis made by Bentley Motors Limited at Cricklewood, London. Announced 15 September 1930, it was also the last completely new model by Bentley before the company's financial collapse and forced sale to Rolls-Royce Limited; a 4-Litre engine in a shortened chassis was announced on 15 May 1931. Intended to provide the basis for a super-luxury car for very wealthy buyers, the 8 Litre chassis was introduced a year into the Great Depression (from wiki of course).

2. Corvette Sting Ray

2. Corvette Sting Ray - The second generation (C2) Corvette, which introduced Sting Ray to the model, continued with fiberglass body panels, and overall, was smaller than the first generation. The C2 was later referred to as mid-years.The car was designed by Larry Shinoda with major inspiration from a previous concept design called the "Q Corvette," which was created by Peter Brock and Chuck Pohlmann under the styling direction of Bill Mitchell.

3. Classic Mercedes Jeep

4. Rolls Royce "Gangster" Car

5. 1966 Aston Martin DB6 Roadster

5. Aston Martin DB6 - The Aston Martin DB6 is a grand tourer made by British car manufacturer Aston Martin. Produced from September 1965 to January 1971, the DB6 had the longest production run up to that date of any Aston Martin model.The DB6 succeeded the popular Aston Martin DB5 and featured improved aerodynamics and specification over its predecessor.

6. 1966 Ferrari 250 GT Boano

6. Ferrari 250 GT - The Ferrari 250 is a sports car built by Ferrari from 1953 to 1964. The company's most successful early line, the 250 series included several variants. It was replaced by the 275 and the 330.

Unable to meet the demand without expansion, Pinin Farina asked Mario Boano, formerly of Ghia, to handle the construction. When Fiat later recruited Boano, he handed production duties to his son-in-law Ezio Ellena. With partner Luciano Pollo, Carrozzeria Ellena would produce the 250 GT for another few years. Ellena revised the car, raising the roof and removing the vent windows from the doors. These examples became known as the 250 GT Ellena.

7. Aston Martin DB4

7. Aston Martin DB4 - The DB4 is a sports car sold by Aston Martin from 1958 until 1963. Technically it was a further development of the DB Mark III it replaced but with a completely new body. The DB4's design would later form the basis for future Aston Martin classics, such as the DB4 GT Zagato, the Lagonda Rapide 4-door saloon, and its ultimate replacement the Aston Martin DB5.

That's it for now! Hope you had a great classy time! Stay Classy my friends :)
