Dear Readers, Are you looking for the best of the best? You will find it here (in the next 100 pages). Pure Sport, Exotic, SUV, Track, Luxury and Bespoke vehicles from around the globe. At the top of the list is this year’s Car of The Year – the De Tomaso P72. This is the car that owned Car Week this year on the Monterey Peninsula and it’s one of my personal favorites (next to the American Corvette, of course). Limited edition, hand-built, outer space styling. Although the specifics of the car are shrouded in mystery, one thing we know: it will only be available with a gated shifter. New to the market place this year is General Motors extraordinary effort to combine US engineering and euro styling giving us the new C8…

acura nsx

The Acura NSX is a legend reborn. All the agility and speed that made the original an instant classic came back for its second generation, and Acura continues to improve on its blisteringly quick and drivable formula to this day. The twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 and Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system are a dynamic duo in this machine, good for a staggering combined 573 horsepower and 476 pound-foot of torque that rockets you to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds. Exterior colors like Indy Yellow Pearl, new for 2020, continue to pay homage to the NSX heritage, and the interior is just as sophisticated and sporty, with Semi-Aniline leather and Alcantara on the seats.

alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio

Speed demons, rejoice. The latest Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was born out of a serious need for speed. Under the hood of this muscular sports sedan is a beefy twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 engine with a 505 horsepower generation, along with 443 pound-foot of twist. A top performer in its class, the Giulia Quadrifoglio uses this power to go from a standstill to 60 mph in a mere 3.8 seconds. The top speed of 191 mph is equally awe-inspiring for a four-door sedan, yet with active aerodynamics and inventive engineering, Alfa Romeo proves that anything is possible. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is a beauty and every angle was designed with high-performance in mind. It is less flashy than others in its speed class; making it a top choice for undercover thrill seekers.

alfa romeo stelvio quadrifoglio

Luxury, speed and practicality are the three unlikely components blended together in the development of the newest Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. While the exterior looks sportier than the average family sports utility vehicle, it unapologetically offers no indication that hidden inside lies the heart of a race car. Under the hood, a twin-turbo 2.0-liter V6 engine revs up 505 horsepower and 443 pound-foot of raw torque. A 0-60 mph acceleration takes place in just 3.6 seconds and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio sails effortlessly to its top speed of 176 mph. Despite this monstrous performance, the interior is remarkably refined. Alcantara sports seats, a Harman Kardon audio system and a fully-loaded infotainment system make this SUV fun and functional. Price:..............................$79,995 Engine:.................twin-turbo 2.0-liter V6 Horsepower: ..................................505 hp Torque: ..................................443 lb-ft 0-60: ..................................3.6 seconds Top Speed:..................................176 mph Transmission:...............8-speed automatic…

apollo ie

The Apollo Intenza Emozione is a car that is worth the wait. Years of patience and excitement have culminated in a vehicle that is being produced with HWA AG, a legendary name in GT1 and motorsports in general, in the same facility as the mythological Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. Through its pursuit for innovation, speed and the ultimate driving experience, the Apollo IE can be thought of as the CLK GTR’s spiritual successor. The 6.3-liter V12 gives the IE 791 horsepower and 561 pound-foot of torque, and that sends the carbon fiber monocoque body to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds. Apollo has decided to go back to the basics with this monster of a machine, which is why the IE is driven by a six-speed racing gearbox and the…
