CarsDBS: Got Speed?
Imagine it: you’re behind the wheel of a Dodge Viper, doing laps on a closed track at ever-increasing speeds. You’re going so fast that you can’t even see the people watching you, but you can feel a burst of adrenaline every time you turn the wheel to take a corner, and the sound of the engine is thrumming in time to the blood pumped through your rapidly beating heart. If just the thought of fast cars makes your pulse quicken, there’s a website you need to check out. It’s carsdbs.com, and it’s all about the need for speed.
From the first moment the page opens, a visit to carsdbs.com feels like you’re settling into the cockpit of a race car. Dressed in basic black with speed-demon red highlights, the site is fast to load, and jumps right into posts about fast cars, and the technology behind them. Recent posts have covered everything from the latest news on Audi’s performance car offerings to the concepts displayed at this year’s SEMA show, and are laced with pictures, to help readers imagine themselves in the driver’s seat.
The information isn’t just pictures and titles, however. A post on the recently-unveiled 2008 Nissan GT-R provides an adequate snapshot of the performance-tuned car, highlighting the 192 mph top speed, and the 11.5-second quarter mile time. It is detailed information like this that makes carsdbs.com really fly, and keeps readers engaged in the page. (The fact that the image of the GT-R looks as it could drive right off the page is just an added bonus.)
Carsdbs.com was recently re-launched, so content only goes back to October 24th, but if it continues on as well as it’s begun, this fast-car enthusiasts site will do much more than just spinning its wheels.
