Introducing Automobiles
Karl Benz designed and built the first workable car propelled by an internal combustion engine in 1885. At this point in time the automobiles were not very high tech. They were very low powered compared to the automobiles today and they were also less polluting than automobiles today. http://www.sportscardigest.com/history-of-sports-cars/ -
Sports Cars and Racing
Sports cars have created a whole new sport of racing around the world. The first race in the U.S. took place on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1895, sponsored by the Chicago Times-Herald. The 54-mile course was a round-trip from downtown Chicago to Evanston, Illinois.The first international series was established by James Gordon Bennett, Jr., owner of the New York Herald. http://www.sportscardigest.com/history-of-sports-cars/ -
Change In the Car Engine And Fuel Systems
One of the key modern automobile innovations is the invention of fuel injection. Carburetors were used for decades, with great success, but when it comes to clean-air and precise air-to-fuel ratios, they were often unpredictable at best. EFIs cost more but offer lower emissions and better efficiency. http://bestride.com/news/top-automotive-innovations-history-of-fuel-injection

The saftey of cars
It's not exactly surprising that as soon as Americans began driving cars, they also began to be killed by them.Ford created a concept car in which the front seats swiveled around and faced the rear during—or preferably,before—a crash, shielding passengers from impact.

Sports Cars And the Evolution of Gasoline Hybrids
The first cars in the market in late 1800s to early 1900s were mostly electric. The first four stroke combustion engine was developed in 1876 by Nikolaus Otto. As concern for the environment and the realization that gasoline is a non-renewable resource grew, car manufacturers started looking for alternate technologies. http://youngzine.org/news/science/evolution-cars-gasoline-hybrids -
Integrated Technologies in Sports Cars
Car makers realize that electronics and communications features are now extremely important to many consumers, who consider these features to be as important or more important than horsepower or handling. “This is a big transition in the industry in the digital context” cars now feature a range of integrated technology with options like satellite navigation, mp3 docks and built-in Bluetooth support. http://www.drivingsales.com/news/new-cars-offering-integrated-technology-and-wifi-hotspots/ -
Design Of Sports Cars
Another important area where cars have evolved is in the automotive design. Manufacturers now put a lot of emphasis on the aerodynamics behind a car's design to allow for a smoother drive and better performance. Sports cars feature streamlined teardrop shapes that allow for greater efficiency. https://www.reference.com/vehicles/cars-changed-over-time-365bf1c51283b556 -
Conclusion of Sports cars
Modern sports cars nowadays are very expensive but at the same time very luxurious. The amount of change and innovation that has occurred over cars in general is astounding and to see how it had come from a simple steam engine to a complex 4 chamber compulsion system is amazing.
