The Ariel Atom is unusual in that it is monocoque – the chassis is clearly visible from the outside – and therefore lacks a roof, windows and other features usually found on the street cars. It incorporates a wide range of engines available to the top of the range is a supercharged Honda Civic Type-R K20 and a supercharged 2.0-liter, 300 hp (220 kW) Honda engine iVTEC. Each of these engines can reach a speed of 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds.

The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT3 is designed to be a modern 300SL Gullwing revival. The car has a long bonnet, the passenger compartment is close to the rear axle and the rear of the car is short. The SLS AMG will also adapt the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts, not in a mix of upwards and forward like the SLR. The doors must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing systems because the systems would have added 90 pounds (41 kg) to the car. In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.
The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT3 has an engine of 6.3 liters. The materials used for the construction of this unit are all light weight and of the highest quality. Because of this, the car accelerates with ease as it reaches a top speed of 186 miles per hour. The brakes, suspensions, and aerodynamics went through a series of modifications in order to achieve the best performance.
