For the first ever, Subaru is offering its top-of-the-line Impreza WRX STI in two body styles with the return of the four-door saloon model that’s aimed directly at the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X.

Hyundai’s big reveal for the New York Auto Show was the all-new 2011 Sonata Hybrid that will compete head-on with the likes of the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Ford Fusion Hybrid when it arrives in U.S. showrooms later this year.

As a possible precursor of things to come, Toyota displayed a customized version of the all-new 2011 Scion iQ prepared by Five Axis at the New York International Auto Show.

Suzuki is adding a pinch of sportiness to its Kizashi mid-size sedan for the 2011 model year. If you’re expecting a more powerful engine than the standard 178HP 2.4-liter four-cylinder that’s offered across the range, then you’ll be disappointed as the ‘Sport’ grade is mostly about looks.

Hennessey Performance officially revealed the first images and full details about the Venom GT, a supercar based off the Lotus Elise and Exige models. Powered by a 6.2-liter LS9 V8 engine from a Corvette ZR1, the tuners were able to boost the output to 725 hp. Hennessey Performance also plans to offer a twin-turbo version of the V8, with numbers well beyond 1,000 horsepower. The Venom GT car you see here weighs only 1,071 kg thanks to the carbon fiber body, and wheel package put together with the lightest parts. With this light of a car, Hennessey claims the 1,200 hp model can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 440 km/h. It should destory the factory Bugatti Veyron, since its top speed is only 408 km/h, and the Venom GT is significantly lighter.

For those who remember our previous post about the 1,000 plus horsepower 9ff Porsche 911 GT9-R, you now have the chance to grab this prototype for around $1.1 million dollars. Marking its status as the prototype car, it bears the number 00/20, of which only 20 more are expected to be manufactured. Indicating that this Porsche 911 supercar is already an exclusive example of an already impossible to get car. For the money, you’ll get a twin-turbo Porsche with 1,120 horsepower, 4.0-liter flat six, six-speed, that weighs in at only 2,923 pounds.

The tuners at B&B have released three new stages of performance for the popular Volkswagen Scirocco R. In the first stage, an upgrade to the ECU and the electronic injection system were tuned to squeeze out 306 bhp with 410 Nm of torque from the engine. With those numbers the Volkswagen Scirocco R was able to reach a top speed of 275 km/h. The second level of upgrades include a new exhaust downpipe, air flow system, ignition, and fuel injection to produce 320 bhp and 435 Nm of torque, while reaching a top speed of 279 km/h. Upgrades to the turbo and full exhaust come next with the third package from B&B.

Now this is a Hummer! We’ve seen some interesting things done to the Hummer H2, however GeigerCars latest build definitely tops them all with this Mattracks rubber tracking system. Called the Hummer H2 Bomber, the tuning company swapped the regular 20×8.5 wheels with a Mattracks 88M1-A1 rubber track kit that can handle almost any type of terrain. The rubber tracks are 40 cm wide and 150 cm long and powered by the 398 hp V8 engine. Torque numbers show 574 Nm, so the new wheels package on the GeigerCars Hummer H2 should be similar to a war tank. I’m just wondering if they took this idea from the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Trax.

Here we have the latest Novitec Rosso tuning job on the Ferrari California, which received a nice power boost and styling upgrade. The notorious Ferrari tuners from Novitec increased the 4.3-liter V8 powerplant to produce 606 hp at 7,900 rpm with 603 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Thanks to the addition of a new supercharger with 0.4 bar of boost pressure, the Ferrari California also received a water-to-air intercooler, special intake manifold, new fuel injectors, and a custom exhaust system that allows the driver to control the sound. A new ECU with precise tuning from Novitec Rosso coordinates all these aftermarket parts hooked up to the Ferrari, and this supercar is now able to hit the 100 km/h mark in just 3.8 seconds.

Vorsteiner recently released these initial images of the tuning program for the BMW X6M that features several styling improvements. This unique aerodynamic body kit is made from resin pre-impregnated and vacuum-formed carbon fiber that makes a 30% stronger body component when compared to the wet-lay method. The all new aero kit for the BMW X6M consists of a front spoiler, vented hood, rear diffuser, rear roof spoiler, and deck lid spoiler all made of carbon fiber. Outlining the front grille is the new spoiler to increase the downforce, which enhances the handling and performance.
