Ford Mustang GT350

Ford Releases Horsepower Ratings for 2015 Mustang

Our hope is the new GT350 will be true to the original, so our artist has taken cues and inspiration from the ’65 GT350 in creating this all-new model.

With the incredible marketing and sales power behind the Shelby brand, there was never any doubt there'd be Shelby versions of the new Mustang. What came as a surprise was word that Ford would not only build a new GT500, but that it would reintroduce the car that started it all, the GT350. Details are scarce at this point, but we think it's safe to assume it'll be offered in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue stripes. We hope Ford stays true to the first GT350, which was meant for SCCA road racing, rather than a make it a GT500 junior. To that end, we're hoping for extra power from the naturally aspirated V-8, a manual transmission, sport suspension, bigger brakes, and less weight. Bring back the side-exit exhaust and louvered quarter windows while you're at it. Essentially, it would be a continuation of the limited-edition Boss 302 from the previous generation under another popular name.

Cool >There's always more<

BMW M4 Convertible


What's New: Almost everything. The 4 Series is the new 3 Series Coupe, and the M version adds a 425-hp, twin-turbo, 3.0-liter I-6 with six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Lightweight body panels and driveshaft reduce the curb weight. A nape-warming system blows warm air on the back of your neck through a vent in the seatback. What's Not: The folding hardtop carries over from the previous M3 Convertible, but with more sound insulation. When: Summer 2014 How Much: $75,000 (est)
Alfa Romeo 4C


What's New: Everything. Alfa Romeo finally returns to the U.S. after numerous delays with a two-seat, all-carbon-fiber sports car. Power comes from a turbocharged 237-hp, 1.7-liter I-4 with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Launch Edition cars get visual enhancements inside and out along with a racing exhaust system and race-tuned suspension. A soft-top Spider is expected to follow shortly. What's Not: The 4C is already on sale in Europe, so it's only new to the U.S. When: Summer 2014 (we hope) How Much: $54,000
Porsche Boxster/Cayman GTS


What's New: The GTS models each pick up 15 hp and 7 lb-ft of torque. Porsche Active Suspension Management is standard, as are Sport Chrono Package, sport exhaust (now in black), 20-inch wheels, Porsche Dynamic Light System, Sport Seats Plus, and Alcantara interior trim. They also get slightly modified, more aggressive front and rear fascias. What's Not: Everything else. When: Summer 2014 How Much: $74,495-$76,195

Cool >And there's More from outer`Space<

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe


What's New: Like all AMG models, the S63 AMG Coupe gets aggressive exterior styling and all-wheel drive. Powering the wheels is a twin-turbocharged 577-hp, 5.5-liter V-8 backed by a seven-speed automatic transmission. A performance-tuned air suspension has less work to do, thanks to lightweight body panels and frame structures. The interior gets a new AMG steering wheel.What's Not: Everything else.When: Fall 2014How Much: $160,000 (est)
Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT

What's New: Power is bumped to 430 hp from the naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V-8 with tuning and a new intake manifold. Black interior and exterior trim is inspired by the GT4 race car. A graphics package will make it look like the Le Mans-winning DBR1 or DB2/4 to complete the look.What's Not: The rest of the car.When: Fall 2014How Much: $102,725
