2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Earns its Redline Stripes

If you liked the looks of last year's Challenger Rally Redline, but not it's 305hp 3.6-liter V6, Dodge is now offering a V8-powered version of the series, which it will debut at next week's Chicago Auto Show.

Under the hood of the new 2013 Challenger R/T Redline you will find Dodge's familiar 5.7-liter HEMI V8 delivering up to 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft torque through a six-speed manual transmission, or an optional paddle-shifting and driver adaptable automatic transmission.

New Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG “Edition 507” Gets a 50HP Upgrade [w/Video]

In case you haven’t noticed, AMG has adopted forced induction for every new model it introduces, from the A- to the S-Class and practically anything in between, all in the name of improving fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions without missing out on performance.

There are two Mercedes-Benz models, though, that still hang on to the “old” naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, code-named M 156: the SLS AMG and the C 63 AMG. That’s a good thing because, no matter how efficient the turbocharged units are, the soundtrack of that V8 on full throttle is music to the ears of every sports car fan.

Lykan Hypersport is the Arab World's First Supercar, Costs $3.4 Million and has 750hp

With a voracious appetite for all kinds of supercars and plenty of wealth to sustain it thanks to its oil-rich real estate, it shouldn't come to as a surprise that the Arab world has finally managed to produce its own hypercar in the guise of W Motors's Lykan Hypersport, which was introduced at this week's Qatar Motor Show.

While many questions remain unanswered, what we do know about the Beirut-based company's edgy-looking (some may say, Lamborghini-esque) Lykan Hypersport is that only seven cars will be produced, each carrying a base sticker price of $3.4 million (about €2.4 million at today's exchange rates), which includes a $200,000 limited edition Cyrus Klepcy watch.
