Red & Fast

I was walking to Chris's van one afternoon and guess what I saw! Not one, but four Ferraris parked along a driveway! They were the older models but it still looks really good.

Can I have one since you have four, please?

I think Ferrari is getting common in Singapore nowadays. Lamborghini as well. A car that will catch people's attention now would probably be an Aston Martin. I used to dislike it because of the front grill. It looks like a fish. And when I see pictures of those used in races, the outline of the grill is painted which makes the car look like it has fat lips.

Talking about the front grill, I noticed quite some time ago that supercars have this common design trend of where they place their front grills. Take a look.

If you have observed well, the front grill is placed below the headlights and very near the ground. Looks good right? There is engineering explanation for this. Since cold air sinks while hot air rises, the cold air will flow through the front grill. Cold air is denser and produces more power when combustion takes place. To many, I think the change is not a great deal to them.

And you think only exotic continental cars are following this design trend? Japanese cars have them too! Smile! :D

If I'm going to design and engineer my own cars in the future, this trend is definitely going into my cars. Hahaha!
