Among cars, racing models are a special caste. This is not surprising. If we recall, for example, Soviet times, then the Zhiguli participating in the competition could have an engine power twice as high as that of serial copies. This was achieved thanks to the forcing of the engine and other manipulations with the power unit available at that time, which improved its performance. A similar situation is observed in the global automotive industry as a whole. Therefore, it is not surprising that sports cars have always been in demand among private buyers. And many companies specifically produced such cars for free sale. Such a step not only popularized the brand, but also brought a good income to the manufacturer.
Sometimes engineers achieved such excellent results that competitors from other teams simply could not oppose them. If at the same time the organizers established that clever tricks had been used, then sports cars were simply forbidden to participate in competitions. And this happened more than once. A selection of several banned sports cars was made on the Autotrends channel. We invite you to watch the video from this channel.
