Automotive History.

In 90's Although America could boast its 300 HP LS-1 Corvette, Japanese imports grew in size and power with twin-turbocharged supercars like the Nissan 300ZX, Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7. On the luxury front, Japanese automakers also gained popularity with new brands like Infiniti, Lexus and Acura. On the European side, BMW continued its high-performance domination with its M-branded line of cars while Volkswagen launched the retro-styled New Beetle and Porsche developed its first water-cooled 911.
