We start with Audi’s new RS5, which was totally redesigned. It drops the glorious V8 for a 2.9-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder, but with 450 horsepower, we’re sure drivers won’t have too much to complain about. With an eight-speed automatic, it should hit 60 miles an hour in just 3.9 seconds.


Ford Fiesta ST

But not everyone can afford an Audi, and for those people, the new Ford Fiesta ST debuted. It features a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder that delivers 200 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque. We can’t wait to drive this one.


Volkswagen Arteon
