Olvídese de la flema británica, este automóvil puede ser visto desde la Estación Espacial Internacional.

La historia de hecho comienza en 1992 cuando muchas pistas cortas habían permitido que el costo de la competencia se incrementase fuera de control con variables y algunas veces reglas poco claras. El número de automóviles comenzó a disminuir drásticamente, y en ese momento, los oficiales de pista estiman que del 30% al 40% de los automóviles de carreras en los Estados Unidos no estaban en uso por los costos.

Lo que se necesitaba era un automóvil de carreras asequible que requiriera poco tiempo y costos de mantenimiento. El equipo de Chalotte Motor Speedway, quienes investigaron el problema, reconoció la necesidad. Como resultado de esta investigación, en enero de 1992, se lanzó US Legend Cars International y en abril de 1992 se revelo el primer automóvil de Legends Car. Actualmente son el mayor productor de automóviles de carreras en masa en el mundo.

El Campeón del Reino Unido John Mickels se dirige a los Estados Unidos para defender su título mundial

En la mayoría de los países, una infraestructura de óvalos pavimentados o de tierra no existe, así que los Legends Cars se corren en pistas de carretera. En el Reino Unido, hay 15 vueltas que se llevan a cabo en pistas que han sido sede de carreras de F1 como Silverstone, Brands Hatch, y Donington Park, y están en calendario, así como los circuitos del club como Pembrey y Anglesey.

Se llevan a cabo tres carreras - dos de prueba y una fina - en cada ronda del campeonato, con las carreras de prueba que duran entre 7 y 12 vueltas dependiendo del circuito, con la carrera final siendo unas pocas vueltas más largas. La parrilla para la carrera se dibuja por lotes, con la reversa para la segunda de prueba, y en la final, la parrilla está formada por la reversa de los puntos de piloto en las carreras anteriores - lo que quiere decir que el piloto más exitoso comenzará cerca del final. En cada carrera, sin embargo, todos los principiantes se colocan al final de la parrilla.

John trae su Legend Car ganador número 4 K-Seal a los Estados Unidos para defender su título mundial y esta emocionado de hacerlo. "En los Estados Unidos es donde se diseñaron y corrieron por primera vez los Legends Cars," dijo. "Es como traer el automóvil a su hogar. Correr contra los mejores de los mejores en cada estado de los Estados Unidos además de pilotos de Rusia, Georgia, Suecia, Finlandia, y ganar tanto el Título Mundial como la Serie de Puntos Mundial el año pasado, estaba obligado a regresar y defender ambos títulos en el 2016".

John no es un novato en el mundo de las carreras en los Estados Unidos. Paso varios años intentando armar un programa de camiones de Nascar, siendo limitado por el presupuesto a solo un puñado de carreras cara año. Así que se concentró en el Reino Unido y lo dominó desde entonces.

¿Así que cómo compite un automóvil del Reino Unido con un automóvil de los Estados Unidos o Rusia o Finlandia? La maquinaria de mantiene a nivel en todo el mundo pues todos los chasis y componentes son manufacturados exclusivamente por US Legend Cars International, Inc. Adicionalmente, todos los automóviles son impulsados por un motor Yamaha sellado. Con tantas cosas controladas por los organizadores, los pequeños cambios permitidos pueden lograr una gran diferencia. De acuerdo a John, "los costos del motor son una gran parte del presupuesto, y usar el mejor equipo disponible siempre ha sido eficiente en cuanto a costos. Esa es la razón por qué he usado filtros de aire y aceite K&N por más de 30 años, porque nunca me han decepcionado." Sólo para que conste, cada carro en la colección de John está equipado con un par de filtros K&N RC-3510.

Mientras nuestro foco siempre ha sido en John mientras se dirige al Campeonato Mundial, hay otros miembros de su equipo que tienen mucho por celebrar por su cuenta. Paul Simmons fue coronado Campeón en el 2016 UK National Masters (para mayores de 40) en su máquina con patrocinio industrial Baileigh #51 negro, mientras que el automóvil #3 K-Sellado compartido por Mike Schlup y John Patterson ganó el título de 2016 UK Team Car National Championship.

Air passes through an aerodynamically-verified aluminum intake tube into the engine’s throttle body

For 2016, an updated version of the 3.6 liter engine was released for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The engine now featured two-stage variable valve lift (VVL), a revised intake manifold, new fuel injectors, and new coil packs. It also features upgrades to the variable valve timing (VVT) system, an increased compression ratio (11.3:1), lower internal friction, and lower weight. These improvements help to increase power as well as efficiency. The 3604 cc (219.9 CID) V-6 now produced 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. These are impressive numbers for a relatively low-displacement engine in an SUV.

On the other hand, the GMC Acadia features a 3.5L V6 that produces 310 horsepower, that’s a 15 horsepower increase over the latest Pentastar V-6

However, there’s good news for 2016 – 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners. The K&N 77-1572KS air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on select 2016 – 2017 Grand Cherokee and Durango models. The cold air intake kits provide additional fresh intake air for the engine, so that it can produce more power. On K&N’s own chassis dynamometer a 2016 Grand Cherokee 3.6 liter V-6 demonstrated an estimated increase of 11.49 horsepower.

The K&N air filter is positioned where it will recieve maximum cold air flow under the hood

Engine protection is provided by a multi-layered cotton material which filters out microparticles that could damage your engine to ensure a long engine life. Each design is verified through K&N’s in-house filtration testing lab, which adheres to ISO 5011 standards, ensuring that K&N filters provide high airflow without putting engine protection at risk.

The intake tube of a K&N air intake significantly reduces restriction to incoming air flow as well as calms turbulence. Air passes through an aerodynamically-verified aluminum intake tube into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose while the heat shield adapts the secondary air hose (where equipped) to a secondary air filter as well.

Best of all, the K&N air intake system can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools. All tools required are listed in the clear, step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions specific to your car that come included in the package.

Besides the air intake iteself, all parts needed for installation come in the box

The K&N 77-1572KS intake system fits the following vehicles:

K&N air cleaner assemblies are designed with the racer or classic car enthusiast in mind, and provide superior performance, excellent engine protection, as well as impressive styling

K&N and racing go way back, all the way to the company's inception in 1969. Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald, the founders of K&N, identified a need for better-performing air filters for their racing motorcycles and invented the high-flow cotton air filter. Their revolutionary air filter design was put to the test in off-road motorcycle racing and proved to be a durable performance product. Over the last 45+ years, K&N air filters have been utilized in a wide variety of racing applications from NASCAR and NHRA drag racing to the Lucas Oil Off-Road Series and the Baja 1000. K&N air filters have consistently been proven to deliver outstanding airflow, filtration efficiency, and performance.

Nearly everyone loves a classic car and with them comes the most classic air filter design housed in a round air cleaners & assemblies sitting atop a carburetor. Whether for a classic, or a race car, if it needs a round air filter and air cleaner, K&N has air cleaners that will look great under the hood and provide high airflow. Perhaps the most common are the 14" and 16" air cleaner assemblies. These assemblies come in a variety of heights and baseplate configurations to fit popular 4-barrel carburetors or similar throttle body setups. K&N 14" and 16" air cleaners are available with filter element heights ranging from 2 5/16" up to 6" to accommodate different hood clearance needs as well as airflow requirements. K&N 14" or 16" air cleaners are available in either 5-1/8" or 7-5/16" neck flange diameters to fit standard and Holly Dominator-sized carburetors.

The 14-inch round, by 3-inch high air cleaner assembly was the go-to performance air cleaner choice for carbureted race car, hot rod, muscle car and pickup truck owners for years

Another feature of K&N's 14" air cleaner assemblies is that they're available with different drop or raised base plates to meet additional fitment and performance requirements. 14" assemblies with a 5-1/8" neck flange diameter can be ordered with a 1-1/4" or 7/8" drop base. A drop base K&N air cleaner effectively lowers the bottom edge of the filter element below the carburetor flange to alleviate hood clearance issues. 14" K&N air cleaners with the standard 5-1/8" neck are also available with a raised base plate.

K&N 14" air cleaners for the 7-5/16" Holly Dominator sized neck flange come with a 3/4" velocity stack built into the base plate to help streamline and smooth airflow into the carburetor to further increase performance. K&N 16" air cleaner assemblies come in a 7-5/16" neck flange diameter and are capable of flowing over 1000 CFM. If you have a Dominator-sized carburetor and serious performance is your number one priority, the K&N 16" air cleaner assembly is for you. Browse the list of K&N Fourteen & Sixteen Inch Custom Air Cleaner Assemblies to find the perfect air cleaner assembly.

K&N also offers round air cleaner assemblies in 11" diameters. 11" diameter K&N air cleaners are offered in 2 5/8" and 5 1/8" neck flange sizes for applications where space is at a premium, but performance cannot be sacrificed. Additionally, K&N 11" air cleaners are offered with 7-5/16" neck flange with filter element heights ranging from 3-1/2" to 6", making them ready to flow the air required by thirsty Holly Dominator carburetors.

When space really is a problem, look no further than the K&N 9" air cleaner assemblies. Available in 5 different flange sizes and various heights, these 9" air cleaners are ideal for dual carb setups. They include stainless steel top and base plates as well as an optional tall velocity stack base plate. These tall velocity stack base plates position the air filter 5" above the carburetor to draw cooler air into the engine and increase air velocity. Engines equipped with these K&N Tall Velocity Stack Air Filter assemblies can produce more horsepower, with proper carburetor calibration, than those with no air cleaner assembly at all. Note, these assemblies are not U.S. Coast Guard approved as marine flame arrestors.

Because serious engines require serious airflow, K&N offers X-Stream Airflow Tops which replace the traditional air cleaner top plate with K&N high-flow filter media

And then we have the smallest of the grou - the K&N 7" air cleaner assemblies. These air cleaner assemblies are ideal for show car applications, but may not flow enough air for optimum performance. See K&N's air filter facts for information on proper air filter sizing. Because serious engines require serious airflow, K&N also offers X-Stream^® Airflow Tops. The X-Stream airflow tops and X-Stream air cleaner assemblies replace the traditional top plate with K&N high-flow filter media. More filtration surface area will provide additional airflow, which can translate to more power. Complete air cleaner assemblies can be ordered in 9", 11", 14" and 16" sizes in various colors with the X-Stream top. Search through the K&N XStream Air Flow Assemblies, Filters, and Filter Tops to find the right X-Stream Airflow air cleaner.

The revolutionary K&N Flow Control air cleaner makes use of a custom lid and base plate to provide smooth, laminar airflow into standard 5-1/8" or 7-5/16" neck carburetors

Another option for maximum airflow requirements is the K&N Flow Control System. This revolutionary air cleaner assembly makes use of a custom lid and base plate to provide smooth, laminar airflow into the carburetor. Available for 2- and 4-barrel Holly carburetors, both standard and Dominator-sized as well as Rochester carburetors, this is the most advanced air filter assembly K&N offers for carbureted applications. The Flow Control System air cleaner assemblies have been dyno-proven to deliver impressive power gains and are capable of flowing up to 1,200 CFM.

While a 4-barrel carburetor is the performance standard, K&N hasn't forgotten about smaller one- or two-barrel carburetors. Whether an air cleaner is needed for Weber, SU, Solex, Mikuni, Holly, Stromberg, Dellorto or other carburetors, K&N most likely has an air cleaner that will get the job done. Take a look at K&N's extensive offering of Custom Air Filters for Single or Two Barrel Carburetors. These assemblies come with a K&N washable and reusable high-performance air filter, chrome top and bottom plates, as well as all the gaskets, nuts, and vent tubes necessary for installation.

Related to the Hyundai Santa Fe, Sonata, Trajet, and Kia Sedona, the Optima rests on a Hyundai-Kia Y4 platform and features a front engine and front wheel-drive configuration.

Three engines were available to power the first generation model, which was available from 2000 through 2005. A 2.4-liter Sirius II I4 that produced 149-bhp at 6000 rpm and 159-lb-ft (212 N-m) of torque at 4500 rpm, a 2.5-liter Delta V6 that generated 170-bhp at 6000 rpm and 169-lb-ft (229 N-m) of torque at 4000 rpm, and a 2.7-liter Delta V6 that delivered 170-bhp at 6,000 rpm and 181-lb-ft (245 N-m) of torque at 4000 rpm.

The second-generation (2005-2010) Kia Optima was called the Kia Magentis in Europe, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Singapore; the Kia Lotze in South Korea. Seven engines were available to power the vehicle, ranging from a 2.0-liter gas to a 2.7-liter gas powered engine.

The third-generation (2010-2015) Kia Optima was also known as the Kia K5 in South Korea, China, and Indonesia and the Kia Optima K5 in Malaysia.

The first-generation Hyundai Sonata was introduced in 1985 and ran to 1987. It was also known as the Hyundai Stellar II in Canada.

K&N offers the 57-5300 air intake system to protect and boost the performance of the engine of the 2013 Kia Optima and the Hyundai Sonata.

The air intake system offers an estimated gain of 4.82-horsepower at 5588 rpm. Designed to replace the factory restrictive air filter and air intake tubing and retain the factory air box, the system includes a free-flowing high-density polyethylene tube, a K&N 33-2448 washable and reusable replacement air filter, six stainless steel clamps, and adaptors that connect the system to the engine.

The air intake replaces the air filter and entire air path to the engine, minimizing air path restriction. The polyethylene tube of the system is aerodynamically engineered to help the engine receive more air than the factory system. The tube is rotationally molded to its precise shape so that it can reduce turbulence and accelerate airflow into the engine.

The K&N 57-5300 replaces the factory air filter and air intake to improve airflow to the engine.

The air filter is recommended to be cleaned every 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. It can be washed and recharged using the 99-5000 K&N air filter cleaning kit so that it can be reused over and over again. In fact, this may be the last air filter you will ever buy for this vehicle.

K&N is so sure of the quality of its air filter it backs it with a 10-year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. The warranty promises that the filter will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 million miles without requiring replacement.

The intake can be easily installed in about 90 minutes using factory holes and mounting points with common hand tools. It is compatible with original equipment manufacturer computer systems.
