BMW New M Car This Year

 

It's been a busy year for BMW. After 50 years of manufacturing M cars, the brand celebrated its birthday with an official M3 Touring wagon earlier this week. However, it won't be the only M car in 2022.

BMW M bosses announced another special M car is coming later this year—most likely the M Homage, a hotter version of the M4 CSL but with serious upgrades like bespoke aerodynamics that include active aero bits. But, we won't see any changes under the hood.

#3 2023 Peugeot 408 Revealed for Europe as Stylish Fastback on Stilts

2023 Peugeot 408 Reveal Specs

 

Peugeot's "Peugeot 408" name is being repurposed in Europe for a different model than the one currently on sale in China. Officially, this is a fastback, with an unconventional look akin to the Citroën C5 X. It uses the latest Stellantis' EMP2 platform and the out of the box thinking process has given us a unique Peugeot.

The design has many lines and curves that make it look like it's flying off of two wheels. The roofline looks like it has been sliced off at an angle.

The car also has an aggressive air to it with its wide stance and low rear end. Allowing for better stability and control.

2023 BMW M3 Touring Debuts 503 HP AWD

 

It's taken 36 years, but it's finally here. The 2023 BMW M3 Touring was unveiled this week.  Available worldwide except for North America or China.

The new M3 Touring is offered only in Competition trim, with 503 horsepower and a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds and 174 mph max speed. Standard-issue xDrive all-wheel-drive grip and BMW's eight-speed M Steptronic transmission round out the list of standard features on the new car.

The Competition trim is meant for drivers who want all the performance of a high-end road car but don't want to pay for all of BMW's luxury amenities like leather seats or a panoramic sunroof.

 

#5 Alfa Romeo Giulia Special Debuts

Alfa Romeo Giulia Speciale Debut Official

 

The 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Special is a Canada-exclusive special edition, limited to just 15 units. The car will be available in shade Verde Montreal Tri-coat and priced at CAD 71,995 or USD 55,709.

All of these special touches are what make this model so special. First off, all-wheel drive and adaptive dampers are standard on the car. This means that you'll be able to take this car off-road with ease, and you'll still enjoy the same amount of comfort on the road as you would in a more traditional sedan.

The engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which outputs 280 horsepower and 306 of torque—and thanks to its eight-speed automatic transmission, it can reach 62 mph in just 5.1 seconds!

The Bentley Continental GT is the top of the line when it comes to the CGT lineup, combining the Azure and Speed specs into one car.

The new Bentley Continental GT will have a small increase in power. The 6.0-liter W12 engine now produces 650 horsepower and can reach 208 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest cars on sale today.

With this new model, Bentley has added more luxury to their lineup, with 6-way adjustable sport seats, an improved navigation system, and a 12-speaker surround-sound system that allows you to play music from your phone or computer through the car speakers.

The interior also includes more sound insulation than previous models, which makes it easier to hear what's going on around you while driving at high speeds (or even just passing someone going slow).

 

#7 McLaren Artura GT4 Revealed

2023 McLaren Artura GT4 Reveal

 

The McLaren Acura was unveiled right before the start of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and it's a stunner, focusing on its extremely lightweight. 

With 3,075 pounds only, despite running on a hybrid powertrain. it is the lightest in its class. Mainly due to the new compact V6 engine and a 29-gallon fuel cell that replaced the heavy batteries. The Gt4 version is even 287 lbs. lighter than the road version.
