According to the statement made by Robert Lutz, the vice president of global product development in General Motors, there is no place for muscle cars in the future. Since the prices on fuel are so high, many manufacturers work on the ideas of fuel efficiency and this first of all means a car has to lose horsepower.

There will be no place on the auto market for the muscle cars which use a lot of gas, so in the very close future the automakers will stop producing them. Mr. Lutz says, if you love the cars like Mustang, Corvette and Porsche and appreciate their high horsepower, you’d better get them now, or there might be no new made in the future.

With the new technologies the manufacturers might be able to get about 30 miles per gallon for pick-up trucks and SUVs, but it is hard to imagine a Porsche going to 35 mpg. People will stop buying them and it will stop being profitable for the companies to make the cars like this.
