The 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet is a beautiful two-door convertible that takes the styling of the A5/S5 line in a more aggressive direction and puts a meaner, quicker drivetrain between the body and the road. The RS5’s lines are sure to turn heads on the road if the throaty exhaust hasn’t already caught a passerby’s attention, but the RS5 doesn’t flaunt its capabilities.

When you’re headed to your Aspen winter home this year, leave the Mercedes-Benz G550 at home and instead get yourself a Project700 Lamborghini Aventador by the Vancouver-based SR Auto Group. This Aventador is ready for whatever Old Man Winter can throw at it, with a body wrapped in satin black vinyl for protection from the ice and salt, and Thule ski box attacked with a custom rear mount (also finished in satin black, of course).

So now that we know what the next-gen Mustang looks like, it’s time to start turning our focus to the next great American muscle car, the Chevy Camaro. While there haven’t been any official announcements about the car, we have been able to piece together a few tidbits which could point us in a direction for the sixth-generation Camaro.

The Nanuk Quattro is one of the more intriguing concepts to emerge from Audi. What makes the design of this car special is that while it packs sports car abilities, it’s got a higher than typical ground clearance and improved suspension, so it can handle rally car conditions.

Another fine, unembellished video from the folks at YouCar takes us inside the assembly line for Porsche’s popular sports coupe, the 911 Carrera (Type 991). We’re duly impressed by the amount of manual labor that still goes into the production of these cars.

The 100th Anniversary Editions of the Dodge Charger and Challenger were announced just a few weeks ago. In this video, Jenna Kirkpatrick, the Dodge Brand Manager, reviews some of the unique details in these two cars which commemorate Dodge’s first production vehicles made in 1914.

Curious to know what the inside of the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe looks like? Thanks to the fine folks at Jaguar, we can now poke our heads around the luxurious and sporty interior of this sexy new ride via the magic of 360-degree photography.

While it’s doubtful we’ll be seeing a single Alfa 4C here in the States until mid 2014, we can certainly admire the car from afar. In this video clip, Marchettino captured the 4C revving its small, but mighty 1.75-liter, 240hp engine and booking around the track.

In this short video, BMW explains the design intentions behind its stunning i8 plug-in hybrid 2+2. From its high-tech front end, to its layered geometric body lines, to its amazingly designed scissor doors which take up no more space than a regular car door, the BMW i8 will definitely draw attention as it rolls swiftly and quietly down the road.

Dragtimes Russia takes us to the airport runway in Tympaki, Greece to experience the first ever European edition of the Unlim 500+ drag race, which requires that all vehicles involved have at least a 500 horsepower engine – with no top-end power limit.

What do you do if you’re in charge of cooking the Christmas turkey this year, but your oven isn’t working and you haven’t even gone to the store to pick up the bird yet? Well, if you’ve got an Audi R8 V10 Spyder and an Oakley Design Lamborghini Aventador LP760 handy, your problem is solved!

Now that we know what the plain vanilla 2015 Ford Mustang looks like, it’s time to let our imaginations run wild as to what some of its higher-end siblings might end up looking like. Since none of us around here have automotive rendering skills, we’ve left this to our expert friends over at TopSpeed.

Designed by Ignacio Fernandez, this Spanish beauty has muscular, futuristic looks and is definitely one of the more intriguing sports car designs we’ve seen this year. The open wheel 2+2 looks a bit like what might have happened if the Chrysler Crossfire, Mercedes SLS and Chevy Camaro had a three-way in a body shop.

Designer Ken Okuyama used to work at Pinanfarina, where he was in charge of the design for cars like the Ferrari Enzo and 599, started his own design firm in 2006. Okuyama’s latest creation is the lightweight, mid-engine Kode9 sports car.

Lamborghini just unveiled the new supercar replacement for the Gallardo, the Huracán LP 610-4, but we haven’t seen the car driven yet.
