To Turbo or to Supercharge.. that is the question Recently here at COMP1800 Cars we were asked for our advice between which Forced Induction kit to choose as an aftermarket mod on a Japanese import. So I thought I'd go out and source some useful information on the topic and possibly answer some of your questions. Choosing a Forced Induction kit for your car can be a difficult process. With so many different options now available to boost Naturally Aspirated cars, and so many different suppliers all claiming to have the best product, filtering the facts from the marketing spin can be a tricky process. Most of us would agree that part of the reward comes from doing the research yourself, so rather than just compiling a list of recommended power kits, we’ve decided to write a definitive guide to boosting your car in the hope it will empower you to ask the right questions, and make well informed decisions about the path to take with your project. This is the first in w...

Subaru WRX STI review and buyer's guide WRX STi is such a pure driving experience that only real drivers need apply. It’s a hoot to drive it like you mean it - very satisfying - but hard work for ordinary driving in traffic. Classic performance car paradox... A replacement STi is not due until 2019, so for 2018 Subaru has done what any self-respecting carmaker will do - there’s a new bumper and grille, plus 19-inch alloys - biggest wheels ever on an STi. Plus Kermit-green brake calipers. Yesss! Easiest way to train-spot the 2018 STi is: the building-site hi-viz brake calipers. Not so sure that’s a stylistic move forward - but it is certainly distinctive. Check them out below. Normally these additions would not be enough to motivate me to review a car, but when the very nice girl from Subaru rings and says we’d like to lend you an STi for review for a week, it would be uncharitable to say ‘no’. I mean, chivalry’s not dead, and I would hate to hurt her feelings... Powert...

Due to last week's absence in F1 content, I'll be putting up a second article this week. Today, I'll be trying to answer an important question - for all the entertainment Formula One provides, how much does this cost? First, in terms of money, Formula One teams currently vary wildly in terms of spending on car parts and development. Teams such as Ferrari and Mercedes can spend nearly half a billion dollars on cars alone, while even 'smaller' teams such as Haas can spend more than a hundred million dollars a year. The FIA is planning to step in in 2021 to institute a price cap of $175 million, though across all teams in the sport this is still an incredible amount of money to spend. There's another cost to consider in Formula One racing, though - the sport's sizeable carbon footprint. By the FIA's own estimates, the sport currently emits over two-hundred thousand tons of carbon a year, a dangerous amount even compared to the worrying global statistics...

The Future of Electric Cars As electric cars begin to become more and more common on the road, it makes enthusiasts wonder what the future holds for the electric car market. Many brands are starting to make hybrid and electric versions of their own established models as we continue to see non-renewable fuels become less popular, with countries like the UK planning to halt the sale of combustion cars. Cars such as the newly announced Tesla Cybertruck and Dasia Spring plan to push and innovate the market in different ways. Let's take a look at how these cars plan to affect the future of the electric car market. Dacia Spring The Dacia Spring, while currently a showcar for Dacia, is a draft of what Dacia plan to create with their next model of cars. The company plans to make it Europe's cheapest electric car, with the price being predicted around €8,000 due to Renault (Dacia's parent company) producing a similar vehicle with the same price tag. It is planned to start pro...

There are a few electric supercars that already exist today. One such car is the Nio EP9 which once broke the world record for fastest lap time around the Nurburgring, the famous German racetrack. The Rimac Concept One, popularized by The Grand Tour, is another electric supercar. The Rimac has a 0-100 time of 2.5s, propelled by 4 electric motors. These supercars perform better than any traditional supercar ever could due to the higher and instant torque, torque vectoring and lower centre of gravity which improves handling and better weight distribution. There are some concept fully electric hypercars such as the 2nd generation Tesla Roadster as well as the Rimac C Two. Both of these cars have specifications that show they are extremely capable, with top speeds over 400 km/h and can do 1/4 mile drag race in less than 9 seconds. Both of these cars claim they are able to go from 0-60 mph in less than 2s. The Tesla Roadster is aims to sell for $200,000 USD which is extremely cheap for...
