The new C7 Z06 Corvette is a fast car. The Z06 model was created alongside the C7.R race car which by the way, won its class in 2015 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The car's V8 supercharged engine, delivers 650 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine offers a technology called Active Fuel Management™ which shuts off half the cylinders when they aren't needed to increase the efficiency.

The car offers a driving mode selector, which has five modes and electronically calibrate up to 12 variables to optimize the driving experience, these variables include the steering and
throttle control. The table below shows a comparison between the five modes:

The manufacturer's suggested retail price for this car starts at $79,400 which is equal to 297,952.47 Saudi Riyal at the current exchange rate at the time of writing this post. The C7 Z06 offers this performance while being cheaper than all of its competitors, and it beats the competition in performance. This piece of engineering offers the best bang for the buck in its segment.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V

BMW's M division is floundering. Cadillac's CTS is sharper than ever. Could the 640-hp CTS-V be the car that makes people forget the M5?

a supercharged 640-hp 6.2-liter V-8, big Brembo brakes, an eight-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive. A manual is not offered, but you won’t care when this brute hits 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and 100 mph just 3.9 seconds later. The steering is accurate yet hefty, while the ride is surprisingly civilized thanks to a magnetorheological suspension. Cadillac claims a top speed of 200 mph and we won’t argue. This is a supersedan in every sense.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V engine

Cadillac finally turned a corner in 2003 with its first CTS. Ever since then, the brand has been hellbent on topping its German rivals. The 2016 CTS-V, which made its debut at this year’s Detroit auto show, is Cadillac’s best chance yet to do so.

The CTS-V has always been a kind of four-door Chevy Corvette. The new V ties the Corvette connection even tighter with an engine lifted from the ballistic Corvette Z06. The engine is so lightly altered for Cadillac duty that the company could have called this car the CTS-V06.

If the CTS Vsport is any indication, the full-blown V should deliver some of the purest steering feel out there—not just among the competition, but in all of luxury land. For the Cadillac team, it’s a product of philosophy more than an engineering challenge.

         First i want to define the electronic car , the electronic car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or another energy storage device. Electric motors give electric cars instant torque, creating strong and smooth   acceleration. They are also around three times as efficient as cars with an Internal combustion engine 

         The first electric cars were produced in the 1880s.[1] Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engines and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicles.

       Now in 2015, there are over 30 models of highway legal all-electric passenger cars and utility vans available for retail sales, mainly in the United States, China, Japan, Western European countries. By mid-September 2015, about 620,000 light-duty electric vehicles have been sold worldwide out of total global sales of one million plug-in electric cars sold since 2008. The world's top selling highway-capable electric car is the Nissan Leaf, released in December 2010 and sold in 46 countries, with global sales of 195,000 units by October 2015, followed by the Tesla Model S, released in June 2012, with about 90,000 units sold by early October 2015.
