McLaren

Being a spinoff of the producer of cars that heat up the Formula 1 racetracks, the McLaren Automative, commonly termed as simply McLaren, is strongly acclaimed to be one of the best companies that produce high performance cars. The company was brought into being in 1989 by Ron Dennis in the large town of Woking in Surrey, United Kingdom. From then on, the company has been modeling world renowned sports cars taking after the Formula One technology.
The McLaren F1 is the company’s pilot car created in 1992. It is a coupe with three seats, the driver situated in the middle. Gordon Murray designed the car, while BMW built its engine, a 6,064 cc V12 unit that is capable of producing 627 bhp. This is then followed by the Maverick supersonic car in 1993, and the McLaren Mercedes MP4/98T in 1998. The former is taken as the first tandem Formula One car in the world, and was also designed by Murray.
Perhaps the most famous car ever produced by the McLaren Company is the one it made in partnership with Mercedes-Benz, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. It was first shown in the Paris Motor Show on September 2004. It has a 626 bhp coming from its 5.5 Litre Superchraged V8 engine, and can accelerate to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. Since it was accepted successfully, other versions followed, such as the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 722 in 2006 and the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Convertible in 2007.

It's all thanks to the whole Wheelsandmore team who's responsible for all the modifications which make the SLR even better than ever.
The sports car originally came with a 650 horsepower and a torque of 820 Nm which was did not make many clients happy. However, the McLaren 722 is now pumped up to a higher level with a newly customized V8 engine that produces 727 hp and a torque of 701 lb-ft. How's that possible?
Well, it all comes down to the newly designed exhaust system that has sports catalysts, as well as flaps that can be engaged by remote control; which are all easily adapted greatly by the V8 engine's pulley and recently mapped ecu software.
However, these modifications require a specialized suspension for the model. Due to that, the Wheelsandmore team decided to contact KW, their coil specialists in order to have a new suspension built which features a rebound adjustable contraption, and better compression which is highly compatible with the McLaren Mercedes-Benz SLR 722.
Interior

Interestingly, all its cars are assembled manually. In 2007, Morgan has listed 540 cars in production.
The early cars of the company were three-wheelers that were either two-seat or four-seat. The first design was released in 1909, a single-seat three-wheeled runabout meant for Morgan’s personal use. Today, Morgan cars, which are more commonly referred to as “Moggies”, are characterized by an independent front suspension system. Perhaps the most recent Moggie project is the LIFE car (Lightweight Fuel Efficient Car), an electric vehicle powered by a fuel cell that stores electricity in highly advanced capacitors. It is a sports car that combines environmental awareness with impressive performance. According to the company, the LIFEcar will be legally available in America by 2011.




2012 Morgan Plus E

The 2012 Morgan Plus Eis a prototype roadster with an old school look with new school power and handling. This is an electric model so power is not what you would normally expect in a sports car.
Performance
It leaves most electric vehicles in the dust with a high torque of 280 lb-ft pushing the 94 HP motor to its limits.
The torque actually comes in at slightly above 29 foot pounds per HP allowing the Zytek and Radshape 5 speed manual to deliver peak performance. The motor itself is fairly common for general driving purposes.
Tweaks in the overall design have allowed this electric motor to function exceptionally well when it comes to reaching top speeds of 115 mph. This is accomplished with a control system and transmission that allows the vehicle to accelerate and shift at optimum rates thus keeping the engine and vehicle in the perfect ranges for motion and smoothness while shifting.
Exterior & Interior
The body itself has been modified for a more rounded appearance than the well known Plus 8 body, and adds a classic roadster look from the past. The classic yellow really stands out and gives the impression of the performance it delivers.
The interior is sleek and basic in design with a large classic non digital speedometer and tachometer gauges and chrome trim with smaller gauges for the necessities.
The exterior is equipped with visible chrome on the hinges, handles, knobs and triple wiper arms. The headlight rings and large grill really give the feel that this vehicle is from the 30's and not a concept car that is on its way to production if demand supports it.
Extremely innovative for an electric vehicle, the 2012 Morgan Plus E is a vehicle that has to be seen to be believed and will surely grab the attention of environmental enthusiasts with a need for speed.
