A-Z of this years potential arrivals
Alfa Romeo 6c
No official images just yet but Alfa Romeo teased the logo of a limited-run supercar, potentially called the 6C, which it will launch this year.
The emblem appeared temporarily at the end of a recent Alfa Romeo Instagram video. The new halo model will likely be based on the Maserati MC20.
Alpine A110R
The R uses the same 296bhp turbo 1.8-litre four-pot engine and seven-speed wet-clutch automatic gearbox as the S, but is 34kg lighter, thank to extensive use of carbon fibre, including a new roof, rear screen and even carbon wheels. Will cost around £90k.
Aston Martin DBX Coupe
Aston Martin’s first SUV will spawn a coupe version, likely to become the firms flagship it will compete with the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe. Expect the same 4.0-litre V8 engine to provide power or a new plug-in hybrid, and a price tag near £200k. A version based on the DBX707 could follow.
BMW 3.0 CSL Homage
BMW M performance’s long-awaited tease. An ultra-limited run of 50, G82 M4 based coupe that pays homage to the legendary ‘Batmobile’ 3.0 CSL of 1973. The 3.0 CSL arrives with a unique exterior design and uprated power, to top-off its 50th anniversary celebrations.
The 3.0 CSL is powered by the straight-six engine found in the M3 and M4, but while those cars only get 503bhp, the CSL gets boosted up to 552bhp and 405lb ft of torque. Making it the most powerful straight-six engine ever used in a road-legal BMW M car.
Gordan Murray T33
The T.33 is engineered to be the world’s most beautiful and most accomplished two-seat supercar. Staying true to Gordon Murray Automotive’s design language, the design of T.33 is timeless, deeply influenced by Gordon’s fascination with cleanly styled and gorgeously proportioned ‘60s sports cars.
Yet from its cutting-edge aerodynamics, to its lightweight carbon fibre body, to the world’s finest V12 engine, it brims with the step-ahead technology for which Gordon’s heritage cars are famous.
BMW M2
BMW M’s final pure-combustion offering comes in the form of the new BMW M2, ending an era with a performance coupe taking aim at the likes of the Porsche 718 Cayman and Alpine’s A110 sports cars. With a strong increase in power, performance and poise, the (G87) M2 ‘entry drug’ should trump its predecessor.
The M2 makes 454bhp and 406lb ft of torque, with an automatic gearbox equipped the coupe can go from 0-62mph in just 4.1sec (the manual adds 0.2sec) and on to a limited 155mph.
BMW M3 Touring
Arriving as part of the ongoing celebrations for M division’s 50th anniversary, the first ever BMW M3 Touring made its long-awaited world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, combining supercar thrills with familiar comfort levels and of the 3 Series.
The M3 Touring makes 503bhp and 479lb ft from BMW M’s S58 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight six, sending power through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and all four wheels, makes a 0-62mph time of just 3.6sec and a top speed of up to 174mph with the optional M Driver’s package.
Cupra Tavascan
Based on VW's I.D. 5, the new Tavascan Coupe SUV will follow the Cupra Born but with an expected power boost of up-to 300bhp. An expected starting price of around £60,000 would see it undercutting premium-badged rivals, while an official range of 279 miles between charges is currently competitive.
Ferrari Purosangue
The super-SUV has preserved some of the brand’s important characters, having a front-mid-mounted V12 and being claimed to be “a true sports car”. With 715bhp from its V12 the Purosangue becomes the most powerful SUV on sale, and can rocket to 0-62mph in just 3.3sec and go all the way up to 192mph.
Ferrari Roma Spider
The Roma Spider will become Ferrari’s entry-level convertible over the Portofino, it will have the same 612bhp 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 as the hard-top, but expect a rise in 0-60 because of the added weight, expect the Roma Spider to be released in the middle of the year.
Ferrari SF90 Speciale
Ferrari is plotting an even more extreme version of its SF90 Stradale, expect big gains from the powertrain and mainly aerodynamics. Like Porsche's GT3 RS, Ferrari will concentrate on extracting more performance through downforce.
The new seventh generation Mustang will arrive, with a meaner look, and a more powerful 5.0-litre ‘Coyote’ V8. But could be the last with expensive fuels, EVs and governing bodies coming down on combustion power.
Under the bonnet still though you’ll get reworked versions the 2.3-litre Ecoboost turbo four-cylinder and, the 5.0-litre V8.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
Lamborghini revealed the production-ready Huracan Sterrato just two weeks after Porsche's similarly rally bodied Porsche 911 Dakar, the Sterrato is an offroad-ready swansong for its V10 supercar.
The Sterrato’s V10 makes 601bhp and 413lb ft torque. That results in a claimed 0-62mph time of 3.4sec, The chunkier rubber cuts the top speed down to a limited 160mph.
Lamborghini’s best-selling vehicle gets an update in 2023. The new Urus Evo SUV has been seen testing without a camouflaged livery. Much of the redesigned features can be seen although very similar to present model. Expect a small power increase but most of the updates to be on the inside.
Lotus Eletre
A bold, progressive and exotic 600bhp Urus sized SUV, with iconic sports car DNA, aimed at the next generation of Lotus customers. First of three new Lotus lifestyle EVs in next four years, with design language inspired by world’s first British EV hypercar, the award-winning Lotus Evija.
No Confirmed technical figures are available yet, but Lotus says the target is a top speed of 162mph and a sub-3.0sec time for the 0-62mph sprint, not bad for a weight north of 2.2 tonnes. Every Eletre will have a battery capacity of more than 100kWh and power upwards of 592bhp. Maximum range is 348 miles and a full recharge will be possible in 18 minutes from a 350kW charger.
Likely to have the same naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six as the Cayman GT4 RS. Which should sound even greater with the roof down, Total output is an expected 493bhp and 332lb ft, expect a tenth or two off the Caymans 0-62mph time of just 3.4sec because of the extra weight, and a top speed of 196mph.
Like every modern RS model, the new 718 Boxster RS’s Power is sent “at lightning speed” to the rear axle via the exclusively available seven-speed PDK automatic gearbox.
Revealed in full at the Los Angeles motor show last year the 911 Dakar is a limited-run take on the firm's flagship coupé, designed to offer rapid off-road pace with little compromise to its abilities on Tarmac.
Having made its debut in prototype form at the Nürburgring more than two years ago, the Dakar has undergone a lengthy development process Underneath, the Dakar is most closely related to the four-wheel-drive 911 GTS, and shares that car’s 473bhp, 420lb ft 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat six and eight-speed PDK automatic gearbox.
