Future & Concept Coupes

The GT3 RS is a Porsche 911 for those with no fear. We didn't get the 996-series GT3 RS, but Yankee speed freaks soon will be able to flog the 997-series follow-up. The RS is lighter than the already svelte GT3 thanks to the use of carbon fiber for the car's h... more

If this big red chunk of hotness looks familiar, it's probably because you've seen it before: Alfa unveiled a concept version of the Competizione at the Frankfurt show in 2003. That look-but-don't-drive concept pretty much blew everyone's minds (the headlights... more

The new Cayman (minus the S) is not the lightest, cheapest, or cutest, Porsche, but it may be the smartest one to buy. What the 245-hp, 2.7-liter flat six lacks in low-end vim it more than makes up in 7300-rpm vigor; lighter engine internals and electric throt... more

Mercedes-Benz's redesigned megacoupe adapts the style of the new S-class sedan while incorporating characteristic elements such as the pillarless hardtop greenhouse; thin, elegant c-pillars; and a low, wide grille with an integrated star. The interior matches... more

The 911 rollout continues not just with the higher-performance variants (Turbo, GT3) but with the new Targa as well. As 911 fans know, the Targa concept has changed somewhat since the model first appeared in 1966. Where the early cars had a removable roof sect... more

The good news for the 2007 Audi TT is that they don't have the oversize grille from the Shooting Brake concept car.... more

The awesome 2008 Chrysler Firepower is getting closer to completion.... more

Ferrari will boost power in the F430's 4.3-liter V-8 to 520 hp for the street-legal F430 Challenge Stradale arriving in fall 2007.... more

This sleeker Passat is Vee-Dub's take on the four-door-coupe thing. Look for a trick liftgate that can open as a regular trunk or like a hatch. A 3.6-liter VR6 should provide 280 hp in base spec and 400 hp in turbocharged guise. Automakers, particularly German... more

A two-plus-two, 500-hp coupe based on the Quattroporte sedan should be coming soon. It's rumored to be a full six inches shorter than the four-door. A coupe version of Maserati's shapely sedan has about as much chance at ugliness as does little Shiloh Nouvel J... more

Lotus will resurrect the Esprit in 2008--although the name is still in doubt. Aimed at the Ferrari F430, the mid-engine supercar will be powered by a V-8 engine, possibly sourced from BMW.... more

There's no question about it, the M3 is one of only a handful of cars on just about every enthusiast's dream list for the last twenty years or so. The reason for that is simple: It uses the BMW 3-series-the best sports sedan in the business-as a starting point... more

VW hasn't had a sport coupe since the Corrado disappeared in 1994, but in 2008 we'll get an all-new Scirocco based on the next-generation Rabbit chassis. A 230-hp version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four should power the base model, and an upmarket all-wheel-drive... more

The Mercedes-Benz SLK coupe debuts in 2008 to battle the BMW Z4 Coupe and the Porsche Cayman. The 6.2-liter AMG V-8 will likely power an AMG variant.... more

Audi's mid-engine sports car was supposed to make its debut at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, but at the last minute the unveiling was pushed off until this fall's Paris auto show. It should be worth the wait. The mid-engine, all-wheel-drive two-seater, prev... more

If Apple built cars, they probably would look and feel a lot like the new Audi TT. Like the iPod, the new TT is a tailor-made tool for the digital age. It's oh-so-cool in appearance and character, it prioritizes efficiency over emotion, and it underpromises an... more

The long-overdue next NSX is not yet a done deal, as Honda struggles to define what kind of car it should be and how it should look. The mid-engine Honda HSC concept (above) from the 2003 Tokyo show no longer points the way toward the next NSX, which will be... more

The GT2 will be even quicker and lighter than the blisteringly fast 911 Turbo, but--unlike that all-wheel-drive model--it will power only the rear wheels. The GT2's twin-turbocharged flat six should make more than 530 hp, good for a top speed in excess of 200... more
