The Evolution Of The American Muscle Car
The American muscle car is historically a high-performance coupe, with a high-displacement V8 engine, sending big power to the rear wheels, but these days muscle cars are more technologically advanced than ever!
The Muscle Car Era was a very important time in the development and growth of the American automotive industry. Muscle cars came at a time when the average American was tired of owning generic rides and wanted something that could deliver greater performance and speed. Muscle cars were born!
We’ve come a long way from the days of the classic muscle cars. And even though we cannot deny the popularity and performance advantage currently held by supercars, hypercars, and EVs over modern muscle cars, we should remember that the success and development these modern cars enjoy today was drawn from the successes (and failures) of the American muscle cars that came before.
Times have changed, and with it, our muscle car requirements. The average American doesn’t only want horsepower and speed; they also want comfort, reliability, and if possible some semblance of fuel efficiency.
