2013 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Hatchback

The Impreza WRX STI is the performance flagship of Subaru's compact Impreza lineup. Available as a sedan or a hatchback, the STI is a rally-bred, enthusiast-focused machine that features a 305-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder.

First introduced for the 2008 model year, the STI has since received a minor facelift and a thoroughly revised suspension. The latter was the more substantive of the updates and included stiffer springs, tweaked front control-arm bushings, thicker front and rear anti-roll bars, firmer rear subframe bushings and a 0.2-inch lower ride height. The changes managed to improve the car's already-superb balance and better its ride quality, although the steering remains a bit light for a performance car.

Audi boss confirms Range Rover Sport-rivaling Q8

A top Audi executive has confirmed that the automaker is working on a new range-

topping Q8 SUV that will rival vehicles like the BMW X6 and Land Rover Range Rover

 Sport.

Although we've heard rumblings about the Q8 before, Audi has never officially 

confirmed the project. However, that changed this week when Audi Wolfgang 

Dürheimer revealed to Autocar that the Q8 is moving quickly along the production 

track.

Billed as Jaguar's "most responsive, powerful, agile, and driver-focused production car," the XKR-S is a serious performance machine. It builds on the "normal" XKR by adding more power, a revised and stiffened suspension and special styling touches inside and out.

Mercedes-Benz SLC sports car

When last we heard of Mercedes’ SLC, the sports car project had been put on hold 

due to cost concerns. Now, it seems that development work on the 911-fighter is 

moving forward once more, and a new report has shed light on a number of 

powertrain and platform details.

BMW X6 M

The X6 M is the high-performance variant of BMW's controversial X6 crossover. Mechanically identical to the more conventionally-styled X5 M, the X6 M uses a potent version of BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8.

Output is pegged at 555 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and peak torque is 501 pound-feet, available between 1,500 and 5,650 rpm. The car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, according to the automaker. Fuel economy is rated at 12 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway.

DONKERVOORT DETAILS AUDI-POWERED D8 GTO

Holland-based Donkervoort has finally released a full set of details about the new D8 GTO, a supercar that is inspired by the iconic Lotus Seven.

Like most Donkervoort products since the middle of the 1990s, the D8 GTO is powered by an Audi-sourced engine.  The mill in question is a five-cylinder 2.5-liter TFSI that is also found under the hood of the RS3 and the potent TT-RS. 

The Cadillac Escalade has become a favorite of the hip-hop set and with high profile individuals everywhere since the full-size luxury SUV first debuted in 1999, essentially as an up-level GMC Yukon. Now in its third generation, the Escalade still shares underpinnings with the Yukon andChevrolet Tahoe, but it features unique exterior styling, a more luxurious interior and a more powerful engine compared with its platform mates that allows it to compete with prestigious rivals.

2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS

If the regular V6-powered Camaro lacks the horsepower you're seeking, perhaps it's time to take a look at the V8-motivated Camaro SS. The high-performance model first arrived at dealers as a range-topping model, but now with the arrival of the ZL1, the SS occupies the middle ground.

For the latest model year, the SS gains a performance-focused, ZL1-inspired 1LE Package. Also new is an available MyLink infotainment system that can be outfitted with navigation functionality - a first for the Camaro.

Nissan 370z

Nissan's successful 350Z sports car was replaced in late 2008 with the 370Z, which enjoyed its world debut at the '08 Los Angeles Auto Show. Since then, this rear-wheel-drive coupe has evolved with the market and is available in several trims and in drop-top Roadster form.

The 370Z received a mild refresh for the latest model year that includes a number of aesthetic tweaks to the exterior and interior. Outside, the 370Z's fascia gains vertical LED daytime running lamps, while a red reflector has been added to the rear end in place of a black covering. The standard 370Z coupe gains new 18-inch alloy wheels, while Sport Package-equipped Zs ride on revised 19-inchers with new red brake calipers.

Mersedes gl 500

The GL500 is a big, big vehicle -- just walking around it takes a while, and car wash operators are going to wince about watering that much metal for the same fee as a sub-compact.

Lamborghini’s New $3.9 Million Veneno Supercar

A Lamborghini Venenos automobile, produced by Automobili Lamborghini SpA, on display on the first day of the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday, March 5, 2013

On Monday, Italian carmaker Lamborghini introduced its Veneno supercar, a 750-horsepower beast whose $3.9 million price tag immediately makes it one of the most expensive cars ever produced, putting the $2.4 million Bugatti Veyron and the McLaren F1 (a mere $1 million, although they’re tough to find) in the shade.Attention, McLaren and Bugatti: the gauntlet has been thrown.

2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 720

Automobili Lamborghini celebrates 50 years of legends with the exclusive Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario.

Supercar Mondial

The Radical RXC blows apart what was previously thought possible in the supercar marketplace. RXC is faster, more visually aggressive, more dynamic and performance-focused than anything this sector has ever seen.

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo S

For the 991 model turbo, Porsche made an all-new monocoque with 100mm more wheelbase and increased rigidity. With the new body comes a retractable front spoiler and rear-wheel steering for the first time.

Subaru BRZ

Few cars have inspired as much hope as the Subaru BRZ: Hope that cars can still be unvarnished, affordable, and directly connected to the road and the driver. The BRZ isn't overwhelmingly powerful, it doesn't raise the bar on tech -- hell, it barely meets it in many areas -- but it's a lot of fun to drive in a classic fashion that harkens to the 240Z, 2000GT, and S2000.

2013 Subaru BRZ

We did a video on the Scion FR-S a while back, but waited for a BRZ to arrive for the real performance romp because these stablemates are more Subie than Toyota: Boxer engine and basic Impreza platform are its DNA. I think you'll enjoy our hopeful video.

Audi R8 GT

Consider the R8 lineup complete, or at least symmetrical for now. With the addition of this lightened R8 GT Spyder, Audi has balanced the coupe and convertible sides with three models each: the V-8 cars, the V-10s, and the more-powerful V-10 GT versions. As was the case with the GT coupe, only 333 GT Spyders will be produced for worldwide consumption.
