Transportation is a huge part of
what we do and is a huge part of geography. Why however is America known as
"the home of the muscle car" and why does it produce some of the
biggest cars? Well there is a clear answer for why cars come from certain areas
on the globe.
The
Muscle car originated from America for a clear reason. Long, flat, straight
roads. Not a lot of corners. They needed cars that went in one direction really
fast and not be a dream in the corners. This resulted in the classic American
Muscle car. The wide Roads of the U.S.A resulted in them bringing out big cars
built for comfort and intimidation. This can be seen in the likes of Chevrolet,
Ford, Cadillac and Chyrsler.
When we
go to the other side however we see a different story. The likes of the
American muscle car would not at all be suited to the streets of Italy. With
the tight corners and narrow roads they needed small cars with very good
handling. The likes of Fiat, Lamborghini and Ferrari were born. They produce
some of the best handling cars and of course this is due to
the environment.
I think
it's really interesting to look into where car manufacturers originate
from and see why they predominately make a certain type of car like a
muscle car or a super car.
