To keep the Viper’s long hood from melting, Dodge has gouged six gaping cooling vents into it. That hood, along with five new colors—including a wild lime green—and three wheel choices wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 rubber, are the only other changes accompanying the 90-hp boost.

Audi TT Roadster 3.2 S tronic

Audi offers a choice of two engines for its new TT Roadster. The 3.2-litre V6 power unit generates 184 kW (250 bhp) and is coupled to the quattro drive system as standard. The 2.0 TFSI engine, which blends turbocharging with petrol direct injection technology, delivers 147 kW (200 bhp) to the front wheels. Both model variants can be ordered with the innovative S tronic dual-clutch gearbox as an alternative to the standard six-speed manual shift.
The 2008 Audi TT Roadster is fun to drive, but it also has a significant talent for making you feel special, and this is where it has something that the competition from BMW and Porsche do not.


2009 Subaru WRX STi Spy Video

Caught for the first time on the Nürburgring test track in Germany, the 2009 Subaru WRX STI looks as though it has enough upgrades to quiet the uproar over the standard model's tepid styling. Although the prototype in question still had some camouflage over the front and rear fascias, there are notable changes in store for the next-generation WRX STI.



TOP 10 EXOTIC SPORTS CARS

There are cars and then there are exotic cars. These aren't sedans we drive to work in, or the SUVs we drive the kids to school with. These are automotive deities, beautiful jewels of speed and sex-appeal that populate dreams and computer desktops. With more selections from companies like Aston Martin and Lamborghini, plus classic greats like the Chevrolet Corvette, the world of exotics has never been bigger, better or more exciting. We picked a group that is reasonably easy to find and somewhat livable on a daily basis. After all, there's nothing wrong with taking the kids to school in a Ferrari.
