Combining energy-efficiency with sporty handling, the new Panamera hybrid has a 2.9 liter, 333 hp V6, which, combined with an electric motor, hits 380hp, tops out at 168 mph, and gets 34.5 mpg.
The Victory High Ball is a bare bones ride that’s reminiscent of stripped down 1940’s bobber. While the look is retro, the performance won’t disappoint with a road pounding 106 cu in Freedom V-Twin.
It may not transform, but the Camaro ZL1 is still a hell of a ride. It’s got a 550hp supercharged 6.2L V8 engine, 6-speed manual transmission, Brembo brakes, aluminum hood and better handling.
Absent since 1970, Shelby is once again making a convertible version of their Mustang-on-steroids. Choose from a naturally-aspirated 430-hp, supercharged 525-hp or insane 624-hp engine.
The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is all about the engine – a new 6.4 L HEMI V8 with 465 hp and 465 lb/ft of torque; other delights include a new front fascia, 4″ dual exhaust and Harmon Kardon stereo.
The GT-R gets a 530-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, improved aerodynamics and a new front end with LED running lights. Upgrade to the Black Edition for 6-spoke wheels and red-trimmed Recaro seats.
The 2012 451 hp, 6.3 L V8 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG maxes out style and performance with the MCT 7-speed sports transmission, new radiator grill, front and rear aprons and twin spoke alloys.
It may have a hatchback and seat four (assuming your back-seat passengers have no legs), but with a 6.3L, 651hp V12 power plant, AWD and a top speed of 208mph, it’s all Ferrari under the hood.
With a curb weight of just about 1200 pounds, and a 305hp supercharged Ford Duratec 2.0L engine, it’s no wonder this British racer can hit 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, and a top speed of 180mph.
Honda recently unveiled their Civic sedan and Civic Si coupe concepts. Aside from a natural gas model, the Civic Si will also have a hybrid model, which will have Li-ion batteries alongside a 1.5L engine.
With its 1.6-liter, 138hp engine, it’s not the most powerful little car – but the sub-compact Veloster is definitely one of the more sporty, and high-tech rides to emerge from the Korean automaker.
Ford has updated their 2012 drag-racer Cobra Jet with a supercharged 5.4L V8, modified suspension, low-drag racing brakes, new black anodized wheels and a stickier set of Goodyear racing slicks.
BMW’s compact 2012 Series 1M Coupe has been officially unveiled; it boasts a twin-turbo 3.0L engine with 335 hp, 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and top speed of 155 mph. (Thanks David!)
Audi’s stalwart sedan is shorter, lower to the ground and weighs 176 pounds less than the 2011. While it tops out with a 295hp 3.0 liter V6, the 8-speed auto still does 0-to-60 in 5.5 secs.
If you liked the 6-Series preview, you’ll love it even better with the top down. The 650i ragtop has a 400hp, 4.4L V8, and a 0-to-60 time of 4.9 secs with either the manual or 8-speed automatic.
Range Rover gives its SUVs a makeover with this 5-door mid-sized model with sporty looks, a zippy 240-hp Ford EcoBoost engine, and a cabin loaded with modern technology.
Mercedes-Benz is doing endurance testing for the 2012 SLK’s panoramic glass roof with Magic Sky Control; it works on plate condenser principles and becomes transparent or dark by pushing a button.
The Focus ST has a turbocharged 247hp 2.0L engine, but people have focused more on its looks. The dominating front grill and ‘Tangerine Scream’ color has been divisive, to say the least.
While it’s not hitting until sometime in 2011, BMW has dropped some pics of their next 6 coupe, which, other than some grill and door styling, doesn’t look much different from the 2010 model.
Ford pays homage to the original ’69 Mustang Boss 302 with a car that is as fierce as it looks. Its defining Boss 302 V8 engine belches out 440hp and delivers up to 7,500rpm. Coming spring 2011.
The proportions of the Mercedes-Benz 2012 CLS Class remain as slick as ever: long hood, tightly styled frameless side windows and a dynamic roof sweeping back at an angle towards the rear.
Ford puts the Crown Vic out to pasture 9/2011 with the 2012 Police Interceptor, seen above for the first time; specs are under wraps but it’ll likely come in local and highway patrol flavors.
