Awesome Sports Cars

The C-X75 concept gets refined significantly, resulting in a hybrid 850hp beast, designed to achieve “the speed of a Veyron, the range of a Volt and the CO2 of a Prius.” Goes 0-to-100mph in 6 secs., and is the new object of our desire.

Audi’s TT went on a diet for their latest Ultra Quattro concept; it lost 660 lbs and gained a stiffer suspension setup, exterior and interior cameras and screens and a digital instrument panel.

The Hennessey Venom GT heads out to the runway to hit a top speed of 265.7 MPH, the highest speed ever recorded for a production vehicle available to the public. They ran out of runway at 2 miles, so it could even go faster.

SRT is making just 33 of these track-tuned “time attack” vehicles, riding on Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, Bilstein suspension, driven by Viper’s 8.4L V10 with 640hp, and painted in vibrant Crusher orange.

Mexico’s first native sportscar has Lotus-esque styling, zippy performance, and moderate pricing for a first-gen vehicle. It doesn’t hurt that its 2.0L turbo engine is made North of the border by Ford.

The 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 has a 3.8L 475hp flat-six boxer engine and a barrage of electronic systems designed to stabilize the car, including a new electromechanical rear wheel steering system.

Ferrari’s shiny new $1.3 million hybrid LaFerrari has both a 789hp V12 gas engine and an electric motor that adds another 161hp, blasting you down the track at up to 217mph. This is definitely no Prius.

Nissan lightens the load for its stellar 545hp GT-R, ripping out the silly rear row of seats, adding carbon fiber details and amping up the suspension with Bilstein shocks and tightened springs.

Watch as a model of economy, the Volvo 245 Station Wagon, becomes sexy before your very eyes thanks to a Toyota Supra engine and some reckless hooning from YouTuber Pbjorck.

The NSX Concept continues to evolve, with a new cockpit focused on connecting the driver to the vehicle and the road, powered by a sport hybrid drive with a mid-engine V6 and front-drive motors.

A collaborative design from Cartel and Mike Vu, this 2013 FR-S has an open chop-top, along with custom metal fabrication and body panels, painted up in a Halloween appropriate candy orange and black.

The latest sexy R8 gets a new 7-speed S-tronic transmission, and its 5.2L V10 engine gets bumped up to 550hp, pushing it along to a top speed of 197mph, and a 0-to-62 time of 3.8 seconds.

The updated roadster from Lucra has redesigned bumpers, fenders, lighting and exhaust, along with a powerful GM 6.2L V8, pushing out 630 horses, and zipping it along from 0-to-60 in 2.5 secs.

The Viper returns with a vengeance, blasting out 640hp and 600 lb/ft of torque from its 8.4L V10. For a naturally-aspirated engine, its power-to-weight ratio is impressive. Oh, and it looks bad-ass.

While they have to do something about the name, we like the looks and specs on this Slovenian carbon fiber sports car, with a 4.2L Audi V8, producing 444hp and a top speed of 193mph.

Nissan’s experimental Deltawing will run the 24 Hours of Le Mans using a small 1.6L turbo 4 with just 300hp. But with rocket-like aerodynamics and reduced mass, it’s still likely to be a speed demon.

Hamann doesn’t bother with the already stellar internals of the MP4-12C, but gives its styling and aerodynamics a kick – reducing concave surfaces and an aggressive black and red facelift.

This year’s Spano means business, powered by an 840hp, 8.3L V10, a 7-speed transmission, and a lightweight titanium, kevlar and carbon fiber shell – all of which help it speed from 0-to-62 in 2.9s.

We have to commend this F12 Berlinetta ad for making engineering sexy. But we have to take off points for Ferrari’s stubborn insistence on adding generic music. Just let the engine roar, won’t you?

The Italian supercar maker outs its fastest production car ever, with a top speed of 211mph, powered by a 740hp V12 capable of hitting 62mph in 3.1 secs. Oh, and it doesn’t look half bad either.

The new AMG drops almost 300 pounds, driven by a 5.5L twin-turbo V8 with 530hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Add the performance package for 557hp and 664 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 186mph.

A sporty RWD sedan packing a 3.3L V6 Lambda direct-injection engine spec’d at 395hp. Carbon fiber and leather details abound, as well as high-tech touches like cameras instead of side mirrors.

The 370Z gets a minor facelift with LED day lights, and new wheels. Still has its 3.7L 332hp V6, available in coupe, roadster and NISMO Z configs. Two new colors: Magma Red and Midnight Blue.
