2. The Ford GT
The sports car from Ford stable, also unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show, kept visitors interested despite the excitement around the 4C Spider. The 600 horsepower car with a top speed of more than 200 miles per hour will be ready for production by 2017.
3. Accura NSX
About a hundred yards away from the GT on the show floor in New York was Accura’s new NSX supercar. The Business Insider says, “What it lacked in GT-style ferocity it more than made up for with an anime-inflected sense of daring, angular purpose."
4. 2015 Ford Focus RS
Ford powers it with an impressive EcoBoost engine, which offers better fuel efficiency without compromising on power. The third-generation Ford Focus RS will be available in major markets around the world and, for the first time, in the US.
5. Mercedes G 65 AMG
The G-Wagon has a twin-turbo V12 engine—and is the closest competitor to the Range Rover SV Autobiography (from the Land Rover stable).
6. Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography
The $200,000 V8 SUV is the most expensive Range Rover to date, with a 5-liter V8 engine and plush creature comforts like a built-in cooler and mohair carpeting.
