Supercar Tech

The automobile is born in eighteen-eighty-six. It takes an additional eighty years until the introduction of the worlds first supercar. And another forty years for mankind to perfect the concept. However, by the early nineteen-nineties high-performance motoring DNA evolves with such vigor that nearly anything seems possible

Supercars are an extraordinary combination of heady engineering, hardcore science and nearly mythical art that comes together in a single high-performance package. Todays high stakes race to build the ultimate supercar has very humble origins. It traces all the way back to the mankinds quest for mechanized transportation.

At the end of the nineteen forties the world is reeling. Its been just five years since World War Two and most automakers are struggling. As mankind puts the horrors of war in the rear view mirror, its finally time to throw off the shackles and rekindle the search for speed. Military innovations now enter the world of the automobile, and the result is even greater speed!

At the dawn of the nineteen eighties global wealth is expanding, ordinary cars are now more accessible than ever before, and the supercar genre is about to rocket towards stratospheric new heights. During the decade of excess, ridiculous looks and out of this world performance collide to create a series of fresh and inspiring machines.

Since the birth of the automotive age in eighteen-eighty-six, when German inventor Karl Benz bolts a small combustion engine onto a three-wheeled wagon,the pursuit to build a better automobile fuels the imaginations of engineers and designers around the globe. In the Twentieth century, that vision propels engineering pioneers to push the envelope of speed and handling even further and results in the creation of a new kind of machine The Hypercar.
