Spy shots of the 2018 Audi A7 have leaked and although the vehicle is camouflaged, it's apparent that the gorgeously sloped back that made the A7 so popular remains untouched. According to reports, the A7 will have the same two engine options currently offered: a supercharged 3.0L V6 and a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8.
If you didn’t feel 350hp was enough for your 2016 Ford Focus RS, you can now get an extra 20hp from British tuner Mountune. Best of all, this tune is from the factory and under warranty. When all is said and done, the Mountune RS will have 370hp and 376lb-ft of torque.
Pricing has been announced for the 2017 Camaro ZL1 and it's reasonable, considering the horsepower. Starting at $62,135, the 650hp ZL1 barrels to 60mph in just 3.5 seconds and cruises through the quarter mile in 11.4 seconds. With numbers like that, it's a no-brainer.
