2. Aston Martin Rapide E

Aston Martin, a luxury British car manufacturer, debuted its new and first all-electric production car, the Aston Martin Rapide E, at Shanghai Motor Show in Shanghai, China, on April 16.

Though the price is only available upon application to buy, according to the website, it’s expected to cost around $330,000, according to CNN.

An Aston Martin, Rapide E has been designed to enhance and build on the feel, character and delivery of the V12-engine Rapide AMR. To ensure this, meticulous attention has been paid to the development and tuning of both the electric powertrain and the chassis across all three driving modes resulting in an agile, controlled and beautiful balance drive.

A special edition, developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering,  The result is a new breed of Aston Martin delivering phenomenal performance enabled through cutting-edge electrification.

Rapide E’s exterior and underbody has been aerodynamically optimised and complemented with newly-designed aluminium wheels, created to achieve higher levels of efficiency, frictional loss and cooling performance.

Rapide E is powered by an 800V electrical architecture battery, encased in a Carbon Fibre and Kevlar casing, with a 65kWh installed capacity using over 5600 lithium-ion 18650 format cylindrical cells. These are mounted in a bespoke battery pack where the original 6.0-litre V12, its gearbox and fuel tank were previously located. This battery system powers two rear mounted electric motors producing a combined target output of just over 612PS and a colossal 950Nm of torque making it our most powerful Rapide. 612PS Power, 950Nm Torque, 155mph Max Speed.

Performance has not been compromised. A true Aston Martin, Rapide E has been designed to enhance the feel, character and delivery of the V12-engine Rapide AMR. With a top speed of 155mph and a sub – 4.0 seconds 0-60mph time and a 50-70mph time of just 1.5 seconds Rapide E unleashes a new electric breed of Aston Martin with a range of over 200 miles under the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), and a charging capability rate of 185 miles of range per hour using a typical 400V 50kW charger, Rapide E can take you anywhere. The 800V high-voltage battery system enables even faster charging of 310 miles of range per hour, using an 800V outlet delivery 100kW or higher.

3. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 blends modern sports-car performance with iconic muscle-car presence. It builds on the same racetrack-capable chassis as the excellent Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, with an additional 234 horsepower that lends it credibility at the drag strip as well. Optional carbon-fiber wheels, track tires, and aerodynamic aids are available for drivers looking to get the most out of this monster Mustang.

The new 2020 GT500 is set to release on January 14. We can only assume that this will happen at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, as that happens to be the same time that auto show is running.

The Mustang Shelby GT500 is all new for 2020, reviving a nameplate originally introduced in 1967 and last used from 2013 to 2014. The 2020 Shelby GT500 is the best-performing Mustang to ever exit a Ford assembly plant.

The 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 has a base price of $73,995, which can be inflated past $95,000 for a fully loaded model with the few options that are offered. The $1500 Handling package adds adjustable strut top mounts, an oil catch can, a Gurney flap on the rear spoiler, and splitter wickers with integrated dive planes on the front fascia. The $3000 Technology package includes navigation, blind-spot monitoring, SiriusXM satellite radio, heated mirrors with Shelby puddle lamps, and a Bang & Olufsen premium sound system. The big-ticket buy is the $18,500 Carbon Fiber Track pack, which is aimed at anyone planning to lap their Shelby on the track. It deletes the rear seats and adds carbon-fiber wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 track tires, Recaro seats, a larger rear wing, carbon-fiber interior trim, and the same oil catch can, splitter wickers, and adjustable strut top mounts as in the Handling package.

The Shelby GT500's single powertrain—a 760-hp supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 that revs to 7500 rpm with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic—is engineered for speed but trying to put the engine's full might through only the rear tires means this Shelby isn't as quick as you might expect. We anticipate the GT500 will be good for a 3.5-second rip to 60 mph and an 11.0-second quarter-mile once we run one through our testing protocol. Cars with significantly less power but more rear grip, such as the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette, will handily outrun that zero-to-60-mph time.

Of course, it's not all about straight-line performance. On a racetrack, the GT500 snaps off raucous shifts and sounds every bit as menacing as it is. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires are standard, but it's the optional Cup 2 tires that transform the GT500 into an apex-hunting machine. While it's heavy with an estimated curb weight of 4200 pounds, the GT500 corners with confidence and turns in without hesitation. We wish the brake pedal were firmer, but the massive Brembo brakes hold up nicely to track abuse, with no evidence of fade.

Every Shelby GT500 comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen running Ford's Sync 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The standard setup also includes SiriusXM satellite radio, a CD player, two USB ports, and nine speakers. Ford's own navigation and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system are available as part of the $3000 Technology package. Every GT500 has the ability to be locked and unlocked from the FordPass phone app and to serve as a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot with a data subscription

Ford offers several active safety and driver-assistance features on lesser Mustangs that are unavailable on the GT500. Despite the high sticker price, Shelby buyers have to make do without automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high-beams. A backup camera is standard (it's required by law), while blind-spot monitoring is included in the $3000 Technology package.

4. McLaren GT

The McLaren GT is an upcoming sports car designed and manufactured by British automobile manufacturer McLaren Automotive. It is the company's first dedicated grand tourer and is based on the same platform underpinning the 720S with the addition of a carbon fibre rear deck to house a glazed tailgate creating significantly greater storage capacity.

The 2020 McLaren GT has a base price of $210,000 (plus a $3,195 destination fee). The sports car is on sale now, with first customer deliveries in October.

The GT features a new variation of the 3,994 cc (4.0 L; 243.7 cu in) twin-turbocharged M840T V8 engine found in the 720S. Having a new dedicated codename of M840TE, the new engine has smaller turbochargers that deliver lower peak performance than its Super Series variant but greater low RPM-performance and responsiveness. The GT has a rated power output of 620 PS (456 kW; 612 hp) at 7,000 rpm, and the maximum torque is 465 lb⋅ft (630 N⋅m) at 5,500 rpm.

The company claims that the GT has a top speed of 326.7 km/h (203 mph), it can accelerate from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.1 seconds, and 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 9 seconds.

The McLaren GT features 150 litres of storage space at the front and 420 litres in the rear accommodating a full-sized set of golf clubs.

The new comfort seats have increased shoulder padding and back support, with electrical adjustment and heating as standard on Pioneer and Luxe models. A 7 inch touchscreen mounted in the centre controlling a revamped infotainment system and is supplemented by a 12.3 inch driver information display which changes in layout depending if Comfort, Sport or Track mode is selected.

5. Tesla roadster 2020

The Tesla Roadster is an upcoming all-electric battery-powered four-seater sports car made by Tesla.

Tesla unveiled the prototype for its next-generation Roadster in late 2017. Elon Musk says it'll be the fastest production car ever developed and that manufacturing for the supercar is scheduled to begin in 2020.

The second Roadster was designed by Franz von Holzhausen. The 2020 version of the Roadster was shown in a surprise moment at the end of the Tesla Semi event on November 16.

The base model was expected to sell for US $200,000 but the first 1,000 to be produced, known as the Founder's Series, will be priced at $250,000. Full payment would be required to pre-order the latter vehicle.

When this new version of the 2020 Tesla Roadster was unveiled as a concept in November 2017, Tesla founder Elon Musk touted some rather lofty pie-in-the-sky performance numbers, including a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 1.9 seconds, a top speed of more than 250 mph, and a quarter-mile time of just 8.8 seconds. Musk also said that all-wheel drive will be standard; Tesla's mainstream EV models utilize two electric motors—one at the front and one at the rear—to achieve all-wheel drive, so we expect the same setup will be found in the Roadster. The 200-kWh battery is said to provide up to 620 miles of range, but certainly that number will be achievable only under very light use; hitting the track for some flat-out hot laps will result in a shorter range-per-charge.

For now, the 2020 Roadster is merely a concept and in the past, Tesla concepts—and concepts from most every other auto manufacturer—have changed drastically during their development into production models. The Roadster concept's interior can be opened to the elements by removing the glass-panel roof and stowing it in the trunk. There are four seats, but the rears look like they will be quite cramped given the Roadster's dramatically angled roofline. Tesla's signature interior design that is almost completely free of buttons is likely. In the concept's design a large touchscreen appears to be built right into the panel that connects the dashboard and the center console, with the opportunity for storage behind it.

Its claimed 0 to 400 m (0 to 1⁄4 mile) time will be under 9 seconds, with a top speed above 400 km/h (250 mph).[35][36] If the production Roadster achieves these performance numbers, it will outperform the super cars of 2017 and would set new production car records, none of which had yet done better than 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.0 seconds or 9.0 seconds in the 1/4 mile.
