In this article, there is discussion
of a new ‘Hyper Car’ in the works, coming from Mexico. The new car called the
“Inferno” with a very impressive claimed 1,400 horsepower, a top speed of 245
miles per hour, and arguably most impressively a 0-100km/hr time sprint in the
sub three second period. These are very astounding numbers in the automotive
performance world. What is most interesting about this car however is the
material it is made out of. Supposedly the Inferno is composed of a body made
of a “metal foam,” which is comprised of a mixture of silver, aluminium and
zinc. This is supposedly an astoundingly light yet still strong compound.
The physics behind this come from
the performance figures. I believe that this cars extremely impressive
statistics are due in most part to the ultra light composition of the body.
That coupled with an engine that produces a massive amount of force, it is not
surprising that is putting up statistics that only the top 5% of sports cars
make. It will be interesting to see a fully produced model once they are off
the line.
