Thanks to the oil crisis of the 1970s, the Honda Civic achieved great success. This is also the first Honda model to succeed outside of the Japanese domestic market. The model’s CVCC engine appeared in 1973 and didn’t need a converter to meet the EPA’s 1975 emissions standards. This has helped Civic make a leap compared to competitors present on the market at any time. Honda Civic The current Honda Civic is the 11th generation and is renowned for its economy, reliability and fun driving experience. This model has become its flagship product in the C-segment sedan segment. This product is suitable for families. Meanwhile, the Si and Type R performance versions launched later are products for those who love more strength and personality. 2. Nissan Z (51 years) Nissan Z The first Nissan Z-car appeared in 1969 as a 2-door rear-wheel drive sports car, using a 6-cylinder engine. For the 7th generation, it seems that the Nissan Z has not changed much. Over the decades, four-seat, cabriolet, T-top and Nismo versions have entered the market. The first model in this product line is called Nissan Fairlady Z or Datsun 240Z (depending on the market). The inheritance of the original Z-car is a testament to the position of Japanese models in the popular car field. 3. Chevrolet Camaro (54 years) Chevrolet Camaro In 1965, information began to circulate about Chevrolet starting to produce a 2-door, 4-seater coupe with a 6-8 cylinder engine. The new car was codenamed Panther but was first introduced as the Camaro in 1966. The Chevrolet Camaro is currently in its 6th generation but took an 8-year hiatus between the 4th and 5th generations. Camaro’s name has no specific definition. However, according to what Chevy shared with the press when the car was launched, Camaro is “a” small, vicious monster and “eats” Mustangs (horses). This is a play on words, referring to the outstanding power of the Camaro because Mustang is the name of another model of the company, which also means horse. 4. Toyota Corolla (54 years) Chevrolet Corolla The same year Chevrolet tried to “take down” Ford with the Camaro, Toyota was also busy bringing the Corolla to market for the first time. Over the generations, the Corolla has gradually become the best-selling car model in the world after surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. From 1966 to 1983, through 4 generations, Chevrolet Corolla used rear-wheel drive. The 5th generation switched to front-wheel drive. In the 12th generation, the Corolla became a fuel-efficient car, using front-wheel drive and in a sedan/hatchback configuration. 5. Ford Mustang (56 years) Ford Mustang When Ford launched the Mustang in 1964, the American automaker only set a goal of selling 100,000 a year. Surprisingly, 400,000 cars were sold in the first year and within 2 years, more than 1 million cars were on the road. The success of the Mustang is a legend. The car continued to be produced continuously for 6 generations after that. The influence of the Mustang grew and spread to Chevrolet, Pontiac, AMC, and even Toyota.

After the launch of the Porsche Taycan rear-wheel drive in Malaysia earlier this year, Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP), the Porsche brand distributor in the country, recently launched the powerful 911 Turbo S. In the Malaysian market, the most powerful version of the current 911 will be priced at RM 2,235,463, equivalent to about VND 12.47 billion. This price includes tax but does not include vehicle registration. Similar to the Vietnamese market, the price above of the Porsche 911 Turbo S does not include the price of options. In Vietnam, this model has a starting price of VND 15.33 billion. According to Porsche, the new generation 911 Turbo S 992 is the most powerful 911 ever introduced to date. Both the Coupe and Cabriolet variants get a new 3.8-liter boxer engine with two VTG turbochargers, producing 478 kW (650 PS), a 51 kW (70 PS) increase over its predecessor. Maximum torque is now 800 Nm (50 Nm increase). The exclusive Porsche 8-speed dual-clutch (PDK) automatic transmission for the Turbo version shortens the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km / h to 2.7 seconds (0.2 seconds faster), in when the constant top speed reaches 330 km / h. The dimensions of the 911 Turbo S are significantly refined to increase performance: The body is 45 mm wider on the front axle (1,840 mm) and the overall width is 1,900 mm at the rear (20 mm increase). Changing tire width, increasing aerodynamics and using a combination of tires of different sizes for increased flexibility and sportiness: Tire width increased by 42 mm on the front axle and 10 mm on the rear axle. The active aerodynamic system includes the front cooling air vents, in addition to the wider rear side designed to increase compression. For the first time, the 911 Turbo S version transmits traction to the road surface through a combination of two different sizes: 20 inch size with a special parameter of 255/35 in the front wheel and 21 inch size with parameters 315/30 in rear wheel. New equipment options emphasize the sportiness of the all-wheel drive 911. The addition of Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) has been lowered by 10 mm and a sports exhaust system with custom flip doors for signature sounds. The overall harmonious design is perfectly balanced with steering feel, aerodynamics and sportiness, making it an ideal choice for everyday use and on the track. This new generation’s performance leap is especially noticeable when accelerating 0 to 200 km / h in 8.9 seconds, the new 911 Turbo S version is 1 second faster than its predecessor. Improved Porsche Traction Management (PTM) optimizes torque distribution to the front wheels of the transmission, up to 500 Nm. The new generation’s standard PASM chassis is more sporty. The interior uses high quality and sporty materials. The 10.9-inch PCM center screen is newly arranged to help the driver always focus and manipulate quickly. Other prominent elements include the GT sports steering wheel, the Sport Chrono package with the new Porsche Track Index application and the BOSE Surround Sound System.

The new BMW M3 2022 model has been officially announced, and it has a lot more to offer than just an attractive appearance. In the future, it will be offered with AWD drivetrain soon, but for now, it still has only three typical BMW elements: an I6 engine, a manual transmission, and a rear-wheel drive system. .

Naturally, the name M3 has a long-standing lineage derived from the legendary E30. That car has never been forgotten by the manufacturer, and so in a new video on its official YouTube channel, BMW shares the story of the special BMW E30 M3 Cecotto, which was first introduced in 1989.

Historically, BMW has produced countless special versions of the M3, such as the E46 CSL. Cecotto’s version may not be as well-received as other brothers, but it also has a good story of its own. Specifically, this M3 is named after the legendary Venezuelan driver Johnny Cecotto, who won the glory at 24 Hours of Nurburgring in 2021.

Between 1989 – 1992, Cecotto won 10 victories in the German DTM race in an M3. BMW only makes 505 M3 Cecotto, and they do not differ too much from the standard E30 M3. The most obvious change is that the M3 Cecotto uses an upgraded 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine with 215 horsepower, and an additional carburetor.

In terms of form, the 1989 BMW M3 Cecotto is offered in only three exterior colors: Misano red, Nogaro silver, and Macao blue. It comes with a serial number metal piece inside to remind you of the car’s rarity. Apart from these subtle changes, it’s not much different from the regular M3, meaning it has excellent handling and a pleasant roar from the 4-cylinder engine.

The performance of the M3 Cecotto is of course nothing compared to the later M3 models, but the E30 generation has set a significantly high standard for all other versions to follow.

For Johnny Cecotto, he must also feel honored and proud when his name is attached to a special car like this.
