CADILLAC CTS-V WAGON














CADILLAC CTS-V WAGON

The Cadillac CTS-V Wagon took all the power and performance of the Cadillac CTS-V and put it into a sleek crossover body. Body lines and curves in all the right places, and the aggressive CTS-V grille make the CTS-V Wagon one of the best looking crossovers ever built. The CTS-V Wagon was only produced for a few years; between 2011 and 2014. The Wagon had ample interior space, able to haul kids or anything else you could manage to fit through the hatch or strap to the roof. The 556 horsepower supercharged V-8 under the hood will put to shame most any stoplight warrior who tries to race you, and the expertly tuned suspension can handle corners like a champion.



BMW I8













BMW I8

The BMW i8 looks as though it drove off the set of a Sci-Fi film. Swan wing doors, a shark nose grille, carbon fiber sills, and lighted accents that glow at night cause the i8 to grab attention anywhere it goes. The i8 is more than just a gorgeous supercar, it’s also a plug-in hybrid. Under the hood is a turbocharged three-cylinder engine teamed with two electric motors for a combined 357 horsepower. Able to get to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and with a top speed of 155 mph, the i8 is as powerful as it is attractive. Fuel economy is less than 30 mpg, but in traffic the electric motors take over to conserve fuel. The i8 has a great synergy between electric and gas modes, so you can open her up when the roads are clear and save precious fuel when you’re forced to go slow.

JAGUAR F-TYPE R














JAGUAR F-TYPE R

The F-Type R is not only a gorgeous piece of machinery, it’s also Jaguar’s most powerful and athletic vehicle. The exterior has subtle body lines and curves, that accent the sleek, rounded body. Rather than giving it an eye-popping look, Jaguar went for a sophisticated feel. Under the hood the F-type R houses a 550 horsepower supercharged 5.0 liter V-8, that’s capable of reaching 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 188 mph. This brute does more than just go fast, the finely tuned suspension and brake-based torque-vectoring system gives the F-Type R amazing handling; able to navigate winding country roads without breaking a sweat, and powering around corners with ease.



FERRARI P4/5













FERRARI P4/5

The Ferrari P4/5 is a custom made one-off supercar. The original design was done by Ferrari, but it was modified by Pininfarina for film director James Glickenhaus. The project cost a total of $4 million dollars. The exterior is made of entirely carbon fiber reinforced plastic and has styling elements of the Ferrari 330 P4, Ferrari 512S, Ferrari 330 P3, and the McLaren F1. The aerodynamics are so well designed that there is no wind noise even at speeds higher than 160 mph. There is more downforce and less drag than the Ferrari Enzo, making the P4/5 more stable at higher speeds than the Enzo, Ferrari’s top of the like supercar. The P4/5 can reach 60 mph in 3 seconds flat and has a top speed of 233 mph.



AUDI TTS













AUDI TTS

The Audi TTS is a little European rocket ship, capable of crushing most muscle cars that line up next to it. The simple exterior design is what makes the TTS so gorgeous. The rounded edges on the bumper flow perfectly into the fenders, while the large aggressive grille and almost angry looking headlights accent the front perfectly. Nothing seems out of place or added in after-the-fact. The TTS is more than just looks, she’s powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated with a 6-speed transmission,putting down 292 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Hitting zero to sixty in 5.2 seconds and reaching 0 – 100 in 13.0 seconds flat, this beauty has some serious oompf. The TTS comes standard with all-wheel drive, allowing it to navigate corners at high speeds as if they were straightaways.
