Pontiac GTO 50 Years: The Original Muscle Car follows the rise of this iconic vehicle from the day in 1963 when Chief Engineer John Z. DeLorean bolted a 389-cubic-inch GTO engine into a prototype Tempest coupe through the final GTO rendition in 2006. Wedding that massive V-8 to a mid-size GM chassis created one of the fastest production cars of the time but also made it a car just about anyone with a job could afford.

Celebrate the rebirth of the world's most stunning high-performance automobile.Porsche made history when it brought turbocharging to the racing world in the form of the 917. When strict regulations regarding engine displacement took away the option of bigger engines, manufacturers turned to forced induction. In its wildest trim, the original 12-cylinder turbocharged Porsche racing engine yielded as much as 1,400 horsepower! Porsche's official philosophy was that racing cars must have a connection to street cars, so it was preordained that Porsche would eventually produce a turbocharged version of its air-cooled flat-six cylinder engine.The resulting 930 Turbo appeared in the spring of 1975 in Europe. Acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour took a scant 5.5 seconds, and its top speed was 155 miles per hour. The Turbo's distinctive rear wing let the world know that this was something very special.

Трудно представить нашу жизнь без авиации. Современные скоростные самолёты позволяют быстро перебрасывать на большие расстояния людей, различные важные грузы, скоропортящиеся продукты и т. д. Но практика выдвигает ряд задач, которые не могут быть выполнены с помощью только этих воздушных машин. Самолёт — скоростная машина. Большая скорость — его неотъемлемое качество. В отличие от аэростатов он не способен, прервав своё стремительное движение, «повиснуть» неподвижно над землёй.
