BMW 435

Generating 300 hp and 300 lb-ft. of torque at 1300-5000 rpms, this advanced inline six is our first turbocharged engine offered in the U.S. in decades. Turbo lag has been virtually eliminated, thanks to Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing, direct fuel injection, and BMW’s inspired use of the latest TwinPower Turbo technology. By using direct […]

FERRARI 458 ITALIA

The 458 Spider combines mid-rear engine performance with a retractable folding hard top for unprecedented comfort when closed and exotic Spider performance when open. Sunny days and balmy nights beckon the open-top Spiders, Cabriolets and Barchettas of a glorious tradition. The 458 Spider brings new passion and comfort to this wonderous mix of driving joy. […]

FORD MUSTANG

The 3.7L V6 was the first engine to introduce twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) technology to the Mustang lineup. This throaty six-cylinder produces 300 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque. But what’s equally impressive is its EPA-estimated 19 city/28 hwy/22 combined mpg*. Ti-VCT provides precise timing and control of the engine’s air and fuel […]

MERCEDES E 350 CABRIO

A new 329-hp 3.0-liter V-6 combines twin turbos and numerous other advances to lower emissions and fuel consumption while increasing performance. In a single millisecond, the rapid-multispark ignition can fire up to four times, while the high-pressure Direct Injection precisely tunes the ultrafine fuel spray. A lightweight diecast-alloy block, widely variable valve timing, reduced friction, […]

MINI COOPER

The sportier Cooper S model receives a new engine, and this is the one to go for if you prefer your go-kart handling with an extra shot of rocket fuel. The 2.0-liter I-4 now makes 189 hp compared to 181 hp in the model it replaces, while torque output grows from 177 lb-ft in the […]

PORSCHE BOXSTER 718

Two engines are available in the 2018 718 Boxster including a 2.0-liter turbo flat-four with 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque in the base model, or a 2.5-liter turbo flat-four with 350 hp and 309 lb-ft in the S model. Both engines can be paired to either a standard six-speed manual or an optional […]

PORSCHE CARRERA

The 911 Carrera S models are powered by a 3.8-litre boxer engine with direct fuel injection and VarioCam Plus. It produces 400 hp at 7400 rpm and the maximum torque of 325 lb.-ft. is achieved at 5600 rpm. With optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the 911 Carrera S accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 […]

BMW M4

Powering the BMW M4 Convertible is the newly developed six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and high-revving character already familiar from the M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe. The power unit generates maximum output of 317 kW/431 hp from its 3.0-litre displacement and serves up peak torque of 550 Newton metres (406 lb-ft) across […]

MERCEDES BENZ S CLASS CABRIO

Mercedes-Benz has built a two-door version of its range-topping S-class for more than three decades, but it hasn’t offered a convertible variant since 1971. Sun-seeking swells could roll down palm-lined boulevards in a two-seat Mercedes SL or, for a time, an SLS AMG, but the four-seat convertible options at Mercedes-Benz topped out with the E-class. […]

ROLLS ROYCE DAWN

Even without the Wraith’s fastback roofline, the Dawn still looks quite impressive. Rolls says its designers took inspiration from the 1952 Silver Dawn, the first of the company’s cars to be offered with a factory-built body alongside the then-customary coachbuilt bodies. Under that long bonnet is the same 6.6-liter V12 used in the Wraith and […]
