Cadillac CTS-V

THIS IS IT. The fastest, most powerful Cadillac ever built. The fastest, most powerful American sedan in history, for that matter. Locked, loaded, and gunning for Europe's heavy-hitting sport sedans—BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, Audi RS6. Read all that again. Now pinch yourself. No, you're not dreaming. Motown— well, GM at least—has its mojo back. Meet Cadillac's monster new CTS-V. Cadzilla, if you will.

Chevrolet Corvette 2008

ALTHOUGH the rumor mill has been churning with details about the 2010 C7 Corvette, don’t think Chevy is done with the C6 just yet. Introduced as a 2005 model, he 2008 C6 gets a sizeable mid-production-cycle mechanical makeover, along with a muchneeded tuneup of its touchy-feely bits. Its LS3 engine’s output will be upped to 430 horses at 5900 rpm and 424 pound-feet at 4600 rpm (previously 400 horses and 400 poundfeet) due to a bump in bore that raises the displacement from 6.0 to 6.2 liters.

Lotus Exige S 240

Taking it to the Street, The Art of The Possible. Has long been known as a pure enthusiast's car, but with its new 2008 Lotus Exige S 240, the company is showing it hasn't forgotten about taking these vehicles to the streets of your own neighborhood.
The Exige S 240 gets a power bump from 220 horses to 240, hence the name, and a torque increase from 165 pound-feet to 170. Along with this added oomph, Lotus upgraded the clutch plate cover to handle the extra twist, which is expected to be good for 0-to-60 in 4.0 seconds and 100 mph in just under 10 seconds.

Dodge Viper ACR

WITH 8.4 LITERS AND OVERHEAD VALVES UP FRONT, THE VIPER ACR SEEMS AN OLD-SCHOOL SUPERCAR. UNTIL YOU DRIVE IT.
YOU'RE took ng at Dodge's answer to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS or Lotus Exige, a road car you can drive to the track, hot lap all day, and drive back home, tires, brakes, and ego intact. The Viper ACR is raw. It's wired. And it's probably the best weekend racer yet from Detroit.

TesLa Roadster

Nikola Tesla was a genius who, more than 100 years ago at the dawn of the electric age, invented alternating electrical current, the radio, and the AC motor, among other things, that are instrumental to our modern life. Now, in the 21st century, Tesla Motors is trying to reinvent the automobile, and we spent a day driving the company's first product, the Tesla roadster.

Jaguar XF Supercharged

YOU'LL notice the heartbeat every time you enter the driver's seat of the new 2009 Jaguar XF sedan. Not just your ticker—the car's, too.
Slide into the cockpit, and immediately your eyes are drawn to the keyless start/stop button on the center console: It's beating a rhythmic red, as if theXF is coming alive. Press it, and the supercharged 4.2-liter V-8 twists into a muted whir, concealed air vents in the dash glide open, an innovative rotary shift knob—the so-called JaguarDrive Selector— rises out of the transmission tunnel. You've just witnessed "the Jaguar handshake,"the first of several servings of pizzazz that differentiate this striking new four-door from such classmates as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5 Series.
