A sports car belongs to a category of cars that are low to ground, less weight, 
and are high-powered. Looking at the specifications, one can easily say that 
this category of cars belong to a distinct and elite category of cars. Owing to the 
high speeds of the car, the handling is also equipped with high maneuverability 
and precise handling. Even though transport is of the least concern to sports 
cars, due to its performance and the care given for handling, they are easily the 
costliest cars in market.
Layout:
The most successful sports cars in the market had been the ones with the 
front-engine, and rear wheel drive layout. This layout is crucially important for 
the performance of a car. But in case of weight distribution and handling other 
layouts are also sometimes used. For example, the RMR layout is also found in 
sports cars which has a center mounted chassis. Ferrari and Lambhorgini have 
preferred this layout in their cars.
Porsche is one of he manufactures who use a rear-wheel drive, rear-engine 
layout. The most known among their cars to use layout is the Porsche 911. A 
Porsche 911 provides excellent traction, but due to the concentration of weight 
at the back, it becomes prone to over steering in some conditions. To 
overcome this, Porsche has made other adjustments electronically, to readjust 
the shortcomings over the years.
Power-weight ratio:
The power to weight ratio is one of the most important factors involved in the 
manufacturing of sports engine. This is due to the fact that the heavier the 
vehicle the greater the power required to increase vehicle speed and 
acceleration. It is always good to keep the weight of the engine as low as 
possible. For this, aluminum alloys are used for cylinder heads.
The Turbo charging of the air intake is basically force-feeding the air in to the 
engine. By doing this, almost 50% more fuel can be injected into the engine 
which improves performance.
The Over-square engine:
An oversquare or shortstroke engine is an engine whose cylinders have a 
greater bore (width, diameter) than the length of the piston. This is a positive 
aspect, because a longer stroke means greater friction and a weaker 
crankshaft. An oversquare engine is generally more reliable, and can be run at 
a higher speed; however, with good technology the limitations of other engine 
regarding this, can be overcome.
Another important factor involved in performance is the bore size to the length 
of the piston stroke. An over square shorter stroke sports engine is more suited 
to a high power output engine, typical of that used in sports cars. A sports car 
has average speeds around 300 km/h. Some of the best performing sports cars 
in terms of speeds are given below.
Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe VÄTH V63 – 208 mph
BMW M3 G-Power SK III Sporty Drive RS – 208 mph
BMW M3 G-Power M3 SK II – 206 mph
BMW 1M G-Power G1 V8 Hurricane RS – 205 mph
