If there’s one thing that most supercars and hypercars have in common is that they require a highly-skilled driver behind the wheel to handle their brute force – especially when steering at high speeds. While technology has definitely been used to improve traction control and handling in many modern vehicles, we wouldn’t want to suddenly jerk the wheel on most of these high-end rides at high speeds.

In recognition of the 10 year anniversary of Volkswagen entering the SUV market, the company has created a limited-production Toureg model. The Toureg X is built on the Toureg TDI Clean Diesel Lux trim, meaning it will be powered by VW’s 3.0-liter turbocharged and direct injection V-6 TDI Clean Diesel engine that makes 240 horsepower and a hefty 406 pound-feet of torque and comes with a long list of standard equipment for the Lux line.

Beginning in 2014, professional drivers and privateer motorsport teams will have the ability to purchase a BMW M235i Racing edition coupe, which is based on BMW’s production car but is ready for successful entry-level racing. The coupe comes with many modifications to make it track worthy, like a mechanical limited-slip differential, ABS, DSC and traction control to keep it safely on the road.

Porsche has announced a premium edition of its six-cylinder Cayenne SUV: the Cayenne Platinum Edition. The special edition will be identified by an exclusive paint finish in Platinum Silver Metallic (other colors are available on request), bi-xenon headlights, privacy glass and 19″ Cayenne Design II wheels with colored Porsche crests.

We always assumed that crash testing vehicles involved just strapping a crash test dummy in the front seat, connecting the car to a winch, smashing it into a barrier, then inspecting the wreckage and viewing what the dummy’s sensors recorded.

Audi has announced it will be developing a new baby sister to go along with its current Q family of SUVs: the Q1 will be joining the Audi Q3, RS Q3, Q5, SQ5 and Q7 in 2016.

Jaguar has definitely stepped up its game in the past couple of years, but we still wish they had actually gone through with production of the C-X75 concept, which first reared it’s head back in 2010.

The Honda FCEV Concept was one of the most futuristic looking cars appearing at the 2013 L.A. Auto Show. The FCEV (“Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle”) is powered by an electric motor which gets its power from a hydrogen fuel cell.

The 595hp Nissan GT-R NISMO set a lap time at Nürburgring of 7:08.69, which makes the GT-R NISMO the holder of the volume production car lap record at the German road course. The Nissan NISMO team recently shared this behind the scenes video of the work that went into preparing the car and setting the lap time.

Germany’s Brabus is known for taking already luxurious, high performance vehicles, and accentuating both of these traits. They specialize in tuning Mercedes-Benz and AMG cars, and their latest upgrade package transforms the 2014 E63 AMG wagon into what could be the beastliest station wagon ever.

Providing a glimpse into the future of Infiniti’s crossover lineup, the Q30 aims for a more sporty and aggressive look than is current QX50 and QX70 models. The Q30 is much lower to the ground, with a look more reminiscent of a shooting brake wagon than an SUV.

The hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder sells for over $1 million, but that’s less than half the price of a Bugatti Veyron. While it can’t match the top speed of the current world champ, it’s likely to outhandle it on a track.

The 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell will be the first mass-produced fuel cell vehicle available in the U.S. The vehicle is powered by an electric motor and a hydrogen fuel cell, is based on the standard Hyundai Tuscon.

The Elmiraj is Cadillac’s next evolution of the Ciel Concept and the second in a series of three concept cars that hint at what a top-of-the-line Cadillac could look like in the future. The vehicle features a honeycomb front grille, sleek nearly vertical headlights, and an updated Cadillac emblem.
