Awesome Sports Cars

A potent new European sports sedan from Korea, the Stinger GT was inspired by the Kia GT concept we saw a few years back. In its most potent form, it packs a 365hp 3.3L twin-turbo V6 that launches the RWD, 4-door hatchback from 0-to-60 in just 5.1 seconds.

The rear-wheel drive Scion FR-S gets reborn, retaining the go-kart like handling of its predecessor, along with more sporty front end styling, and cool new “86” badging throughout. Its 200-ish hp engine won’t break records, but it’s still a blast to drive. Review on 95octane.

The latest edition of Rezvani’s insane, drop-dead sexy carbon fiber Beast has 500 horses, weighs just 1950 lbs, does 0-to-60 in 3.2 seconds, and has cool “Sidewinder” doors which slide forward for easy cabin access.

The fastest ever variant of the featherweight sports coupe packs a 375 hp supercharged V6, launching the 2425 lb. car from 0-to-60 in just 3.5s. Unlike other supercars, it’s still available with a manual. Coming to the UK, Europe and Japan, but sadly no US model is planned.

The most powerful Super GT Aston available, the Vanquish S’ 6.0-liter V12 has been pushed to produce 591 hp thanks to a new intake system. Its suspension has been retuned for sportier handling, and new aerodynamics not only look the part, but help stick the car to the ground.

Godzilla’s top-of-the-line edition gets the same visual updates as the base GT-R, but has more horses – 600 of them to be exact, along with a stiffened carbon fiber front bumper, downforce enhancements, NISMO-tuned shocks, Recaro leather sport seats, Alcantara trim, and more.

While we’ve still yet to see and hear Bugatti’s new Chiron hypercar flogged about at full speed, we’re already impressed by the epic exhaust note of its massive W16 engine, as shown in this video of one of the cars being unloaded for an exhibition in Vienna, Austria.

Director Alessandro Pacciani shot this phenomenal promo spot for the BMW M4, which is the epitome of carporn. Be sure to turn up the volume and go full screen to drink in this fantastic car as it revs its way through a dramatic and surreal industrial landscape.

Gearheads, put on your headphones and crank up the volume for this amazing video which brilliantly captures the sights and sounds of the twin-turbo V8 Ferrari 488 GTB, courtesy of Pennzoil. Why can’t we ever get the cops to shut down the city so we can drive like this?

McLaren takes its awesome 570S and turns it into a refined grand tourer. It’s easier to enter and exit, has power seats, a panoramic glass roof, a side-opening rear hatch, increased storage, and more. It’s still got a 570hp twin-turbo V8, and can do 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds.

French automaker Renault shows off it’s amazing Sport R.S. 01 500+hp NISMO GT-R-engined race car dressed up as a cop car, and on the job to stop a scofflaw on a superbike. The officer? Rally legend Jean Ragnotti.

We were very fortunate to get the opportunity to drive the awesome new 467 hp Lexus GS F sport sedan, but our ride-along with racing expert Scott Pruett was the real highlight of our visit to California’s Chuckwalla Raceway, an off-the-beaten-path track that’s worth a visit.

Audi amps up its already bonkers RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback with “Performance” models. Both AWD cars now have a whopping 605 hp, and the ability to overboost torque from 516 to 553 lb-ft. on demand. 0-to-60? 3.7s. Now can we get the wagon here in the States?

Mazda’s latest concept sports coupe appears to be the next in the RX-7, RX-8 lineage, with a fuel-efficient and powerful rotary engine and a rear-wheel drivetrain, wrapped up in a wide, low-slung form that embodies the company’s “soul of motion” design language.

A tribute to the Can-Am race-winning McLarens from the ’60s and ’70s, this special 650S hase a retractable carbon fiber hard top, custom forged alloy wheels, quad exhaust, carbon fiber hood and rear wing, and of course the 650 hp, 3.8L turbo V8 that the 650S is named for.

This very special edition of the BMW M4 has been outfitted with a water-cooled, turbo inline-6 that pushes out 500 hp. It’s fitted with track aero bits, OLED taillamps, and had as much weight stripped out as possible for track day perfection. Top speed is 189 mph.

This Aussie-built track day car weighs just 1,500lbs., and packs a 2.7L, twin-supercharged four that produces 700hp and 482 lb-ft. of torque, launching its occupants to 62mph in an eye-popping 2.6 seconds. Test footage here.

The fastest street-legal Viper yet is powered by a hand-built 645hp 8-liter V10, rocking a massive rear wing, race suspension, and carbon ceramic brakes. This beast is sure to eat pavement like nobody’s business.

Ringbrothers custom build of the classic De Tomaso Pantera can now be yours – if the price is right. Packing a 600hp LS3 engine, and an interior by Nike, the car goes up for auction at Barrett-Jackson on 1/17/15 in Scottsdale, AZ.

Ok, you don’t pull an actual Stingray out of a box, but if you’ve got kids, the Fisher-Price Power Wheels 2014 Corvette Stingray is the next best thing. Relish in the joy of twins Gabe and Garrett opening up theirs and taking it for a spin.

Not a Hyundai, it’s a horse of a different color. This luxury muscle car, clearly borrows from classic Mustangs and Chargers. Has a 6.2L supercharged V8 w/640hp, 605lb-ft. of torque and a 200mph top speed. Price? ~$250k. Ouch.

A roadster variant of the curvaceous Spyker B6 Venator, powered by the same 375hp V6 mid-engine RWD drivetrain, and outfitted with ample amounts of extravagant leather trim and aircraft-inspired controls.

We don’t know much about it yet, but California’s Lucra Cars has revealed a handful of early images of their roadster concept, codenamed “2.2”. It’s long nose provides ample space for the Mercedes-Benz AMG V8 under the hood.
