8. The Resurgence of Muscle Cars
Ever since muscle cars appeared in the early ’60s, they have been an integral part of the American automotive landscape. There was a period when their performance credentials were terrible, but they never left Detroit’s portfolio. However, during the 2010s, U.S. muscle cars experience a real renaissance and achieved new heights.
There’s the Camaro, Mustang, Shelby, Charger, Challenger, CTS-V, ATS-V, and the list goes on. It almost resembles the muscle heyday of the late ’60s. Today’s muscle models are perfect performance machines with modern technology and screaming V8 engines delivering over 700 HP.
