Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe

With Ford now locked in a duel of the ages with Chevrolet as the Mustang and Camaro square off on the street, track and showrooms, Ford has a new answer to Chevy’s range-topping Camaro ZL1 – and it is the heavily updated Shelby GT500.

While GM selected a 6.2-liter supercharged LSA V8 for its range-topping Camaro ZL1, good for 580 horsepower and 556 lb-ft of torque, Ford has now answered with an all-new supercharged 5.8-liter V8 – which was initially expected to put out 650 ponies and 600 lb-ft of torque.

Tesla Roadster Sport

With production of its Roadster sports car well underway, Tesla Motors has added a more powerful variant to its line of electric two-seaters. Called the Roadster Sport, the EV delivers more peak torque than the base model, not to mention improved handling and unique paint job with carbon accents.

The Roadster Sport does zero-to-60 mph in 3.7 seconds -- compared to 3.9 seconds for the standard edition. This puts it in the same league as some very exotic -- and far more expensive -- sports cars.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera

The Superleggera is back, and it’s faster and lighter than ever before. This ultra high-performance variant builds upon the Gallardo line, which was first introduced in 2008. The car is a successor to the previous Gallardo Superleggera, which was produced in 2007 for less than a year.

This two-door coupe weighs just 2,954 lbs. It’s the fastest Gallardo road car yet, sprinting to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds on its way to a 202 mph top speed.
