Toyota Sports 800 '65
The Toyota Sports 800 is Toyota Motor Corporation's first production sports car. The Toyota Sports 800 is affectionately called the "Yota-Hachi" (ヨタハチ), which is a Japanese short form for "Toyota 8". In Japan, the vehicle was exclusive to Toyota Japan retail sales channel called Toyota Public Store alongside the Publica.
In 1965, the car went into actual production, with chassis code UP15 and an increase in engine displacement from 700 cc to 800 cc, as well as dual carburetors, which increased power from 28 to 45 hp. This engine was sufficient to power the light car around town at 70 km/h or on a race track up to about 160 km/h. Production started after the introduction of Honda's first car, called the Honda S500, and joined the market segment that was already represented by the Datsun Fairlady, and the Daihatsu Compagno.
The car had aerodynamic styling by Shozo Sato, a designer on loan from Datsun, and Toyota engineer Tatsuo Hasegawa. Hasegawa had been an aircraft designer in World War II and the resulting Sports 800 was a lightweight and agile machine. The Sports 800 was one of the first production cars featuring a lift-out roof panel, or targa top, pre-dating the Porsche Targa. The aluminum targa top could be stored in the trunk, when not in use.
Between 1965 and 1969 approximately 3,131 units were built by Toyota subcontractor Kanto Auto Works. Only about 10% of those vehicles are known to have survived, most being in Japan.
An air-cooled 790 cc horizontally opposed two-cylinder boxer engine powered the vehicle. The 0.8 liter 2U (45 hp at 5,400 rpm) was produced from 1965 through 1969, while a similar 2U-B was produced from 1966 through 1976 (in 1975 the Dyna Coaster Bus manual shows that Toyota used the 2U-B as a separate auxiliary engine, just to run the air conditioning unit for the bus). In a less tuned form, the 2U was also used in the Publica (UP20/UP26) and MiniAce (UP100).
Weight was kept down by using aluminum on selected body panels and thin steel on the unibody construction. For the first few years of production even the seat frames were made of aluminum.

Arash AF-10 '10
Arash Motor Company is a small sports car manufacturer based in Newmarket, Suffolk, England. It was originally established by Arash Farboud as Farboud Limited in 1999 and changed name in 2006.
Arash unveiled the final design of the AF-10 in 2008
100% carbon construction using aluminium honeycomb and nomex panels. Rear window and driver to engine compartment window made of non shatter and scratch resistant plastic. Front windows and side windows are constructed of laminated glass. All body parts have been constructed using the carbon autoclave process of eliminating excess resins via pressure and heat to make parts lighter and stiffer than ever constructed.
Modular Carbon Chassis - super light, super strong and reduced manufacture time and cost. Patented design of modular construction. 13 parts assembled into a jig and bonded at temperature. Accurate dimensions as well fantastic performance as a stiff and strong chassis for driving. 98kg weight of tub. steel sub structures front and rear. Excellent protection from crash - front and rear sub assemblies. Rear impact bars and side rear impact struts. Side panels of chassis overlooped to provide triple protection. Triple galleries under chassis - allows tidy packaging of water pipes, air conditioning pipes and brake lines. Prevents heat travelling into driver cabin and allows easy access for inspection. Fuel tanks integrated into rear chassis pontoons. Ideal for weight distribution and crash compliance. Simulation tests have been made using computer generated crashes and twists to see how the carbon tub and sub assemblies cope with extreme loads.
The brakes are Carbon ventilated Ceramic Discs 8 Cylinder AP Racing Calipers. And are 380mm Disk Diameter at the front. and Ventilated Ceramic Discs 6 Piston AP Racing Calipers 362mm Disk Diameter at the rear. The lightweight wheels are made from 2-Piece Aluminium, the front wheels are 48.3 x 24.1 cm / 19 x 9.5 in and the rear wheels are 50.8 x 31.8 cm / 20 x 12.5 in. After various testing on some of the most testing circuits we have chosen Michelin Pilot size 265/35ZR19 for the front and 335/30ZR20 for the rears. Thus adding stability in the wet and dry enabling confidence in all weathers.
The engine features all-aluminium, titanium conrods, forged pistons and crank shaft. Hand assembled engine by General Motors USA Michagan. 550 hp and 475 lb-ft torque. Exceptional power from a lightweight unit.
