Non-professional car racing enthusiasts seek joy in the fact that most world rally and other racing cars have been built on a street-legal platform. Racing cars belong to the creamiest layer of car manufacturers such as Porsche, McLaren and Mitsubishi. Granted, it is not uncommon to find street legal racing cars but they generally come with a price tag. Fortunately, online car auctions make it easier to own such cars without exceeding your budget. The blog discusses five street legal racing cars worth looking for in car auctions online.
1. Porsche 911
Porsche enjoys a legendary status, globally; thanks to some of its top car series, such as the 911. Renowned as one of the top sports car in the world, the 911 doesn't just boast of a high engine power of 400 bhp, a top speed of 164 mph, or iconic looks, but also has a host of environment-friendly and fuel economy boosting properties, such as lightweight construction and water based paints. The car is 95% recoverable.
2. Infiniti G37
The sedan from Nissan’s high-end cars division has a reputation for being an ideal used car; it has an appropriate mix of luxury and practicality. It has a fuel economy of 19 mpg, handles very well, has a range of high-tech features, and can compete with vehicles like those in BMW 5-series.
3. Porsche Cayman
Porsche’s Cayman is another testament to the capabilities of Porsche’s designers. The weight distribution of the car is to perfection, and the looks speak for itself. Porsche puts the luxury in luxury sports car by including a seven-speed automatic version of the Cayman. The car has engine capabilities of 2.7 and 3.4 litres and generates up to 340 HP.
4. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
2015 saw Mitsubishi release the last edition of it symbolic Lancer Evolution, also called Lancer Evo. The Lancer was always affordable and predominantly a rally racing car. The drift-friendly, AWD brute could generate a top speed of 142 mph, backed by a 2.0L, 16 valve engine. We recommend a used Lancer Evo to anyone looking for a car to brush up or improve their driving skills (and earn more street cred).
5. McLaren MP4-12C
The house of McLaren, in September 2009, launched a car with a heritage - the MP4 12C Coupe. The car not only has a stylish design that justifies its “supercar” tag, the engine capabilities are also worth writing home about. The car boasts of a seven-speed automatic, 2.8 L, V8, 32 valves with 592 HP. Essentially, this is a car that could chest right up to even the big players in the game such as the Ferrari 458.
Car racing may be a sport reserved for the pros, but that does not mean, the rest of us can’t get in on the action at all. Car auctions online enable anyone to acquire street legal racing cars like the ones we discussed at a small part of the actual cost.
