Lightning GT
The new Lightning GT was just unveiled at the British Motor Show in London and by the looks of things its got us asking, Tesla who? The all carbon fiber body of the Lightning GT will be surrounding four electric motors that give the Lightning 700hp and is said to be able to use the power to get from 0-60 in four seconds. Not much is known yet about the Lightning's MSRP (or if its being released in the States at all) but they are accepting $30,000 deposits for those of you who want to be the first to own one.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro
Rising Gas prices be damned! Nothing is going to stop the General from releasing one of the most beloved marques in Chevy history, the 2010 Camaro. Today GM finally unveiled the production model and its every bit as good looking as we all hoped it would be.
They also announced that the Camaro will launch with three models — an LS, LT, and a high performance SS model. The two base models will be powered by a 3.6L 296 horsepower V6 while the SS gets a 416 horsepower 6.2L V8. Additional pics after the jump. Link: $TBD / Source

2009 Acura TL
We're still on the fence whether or not the '09 Acura TL is good lookin' car or not, and though we're slowly (very slowly) warming up to the TL's styling we still think it looks like the lovechild of a BMW and Optimus Prime. Two models of the '09 TL will be available - a 280 hp 3.5 liter V6 front wheel drive model and an All Wheel Drive model with a 310 hp 3.7 liter V6. Link: $TBD / Source
2009 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series
There are two things that are obvious about the picture above. One, this isn't your normal Beverly Hills bound SL cruiser. Two, this thing is fast, stupid fast. The SL65 Black Series will be powered by a six-liter twin turbo V12 that produces 661 horsepower which is actually 11 more than the SLR 722. The car also sees some weight reduction with the use of carbon fiber throughout the body and replacing of the heavier convertible roof system with a fixed roof. Other performance features adjustable suspension, wider track, larger brakes, and a retractable spolier. Oh, and you may want that Escort Radar Detector we wrote about earlier if you plan on getting behind the wheel of this monster. More pics after the jump. Link: $320,000 / Source

Escort 9500ix
The GPS-powered 9500ix is the first radar detector of its kind to offer artificial intelligence features that analyze and separate actual threats from false alarms such as signals emitted from garage door openers and motion detectors. Another feature is "AutoSensitivity," which adjusts the radar strength based on your vehicle speed. The 9500ix also takes advantage of an updatable Safety Camera Database that contains thousands of speed camera, speed trap, and red light locations all over North America. Link: $500
2009 BMW 7 Series
BMW's much criticized flagship is getting a redesign for 2009 and it looks the controversial styling has finally come into its own with smoother lines and a lot less "Bangle Butt". The 750i model will be powered by a 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 and the top of the line 760i will have a 6 liter V12, both of which will be coupled with a eight speed automatic transmission. As usual with BMW's newest sedans, you'll find a generous amount of new gadgetry such as a night vision system and a camera which detects fog or rain which then warns the driver if the car is approaching an unsafe speed.

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
Porsche's new 911 Carrera 4 for 2009 is more efficient, has 20 more horsepower for a total of 345 hp (385 on the 4S), a Porsche Traction Management AWD system, and the infamous wide rear stance. But that's not what we're most excited about, we're just happy the signature red rear reflector strip is finally making a comeback. Link: $TBD
Brabus Bullit Black Arrow
The Brabus Bullit Black Arrow has come a very very long way since its beginnings as an entry level C-Class and now properly positions itself as one of the most menacing and fastest cars on the road today. Under the the stealth black exterior you'll find a turbocharged V12 which will get this car moving along at 186 mph and all the way to a top speed of 225 mph. That kind of power should make for some funny facial expressions when your fellow Lamborghini and Ferrari drivers pull up next to you at the stoplight. More pics after the jump. Link: $538,000

Historic coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring is making a comeback in a huge way with the incredibly sleek A8GCS Berlinetta Touring.

Hennessey Venom 700NM
As you can tell by looking at the picture above, we're not about to talk about the latest in gas-saving hybrid vehicles. This is the Hennessey Venom 700NM and it likes to melt your credit cards at the gas station to feed its appetite for going fast. How fast? The stock V10 engine is tuned to an obscene 700 hp with 645 lb-ft of torque which takes the Venom from 0-60 in just 3.3 seconds and all the way to a top speed of 214 mph.
