What’s Up The Road?
These epic machines (with epically estimated sticker prices) will arrive over the next 36 months
LAMBORGHINI Enthusiasts and Arab sheikhs will remember the LM002, perhaps the most outrageous SUV ever built, powered by an offshore racing boat motor. Watch for its sexy wedge sequel, Urus ($150K-$200K), based on the next Porsche Cayenne platform.
FORD The hallowed, LeMans-winning GT40 inspired the GT supercar a decade ago, still regarded as perhaps the epitome of the “analog” supercar. Its heir—also dubbed GT ($398K)—will arrive next year with a 650hp twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 and herald Ford’s return to the fabled French 24-hour race.
FERRARI The 458 Italia—perhaps Ferrari’s best V8-powered car ever—has just undergone turbo-reassignment surgery and emerged as the 488 GTB ($230K). Horsepower increases to 661, torque to 561 lb-ft, and our altitude will no longer keep the prancing stallion from clearing 60 mph in under three seconds.
BENTLEY How far can the hallowed British firm push the envelope? We’ll fi nd out with the upcoming Bentagya SUV ($220K-$300K) and a probable new sports coupe based on the well-received EXP 10 Speed 6 ($177K) concept. Both should run the new version of the W12 engine, with 560+ horsepower.
ALFA ROMEO For the passionate but slightly less well-heeled there’s the fi rst of a series of Giulia sports sedans ($40K-$85K), based on an all-new RWD/AWD chassis and with up to 503 hp. Watch out, 3-series.
