Nissan is previewing a high-performance version of the Sentra with the introduction of a Nismo-flavored concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show. At the beginning of the year we heard from a Nismo representative that a lineup expansion is planned. This week Nissan and Nismo have unveiled their most important model yet, the GT-R, together with a beefier version of the Juke Nismo that has received the “RS” suffix. The duo is also showcasing at the L.A. show a more powerful version of the Sentra which packs a race-inspired exterior and a NISMO-tuned suspension.

Mercedes-Benz has introduced the 2014 SLS AMG GT Final Edition at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The last hurrah for the SLS will be available in a limited series of 350 units which will come with an AMG V8 6.3-liter front-mid engine delivering 591 HP (435 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm. It will be sold as a coupe and as a roadster and both will be distinguished by a carbon fiber hood with a central air outlet, along with a splitter for the front apron made from the same lightweight material and a fixed carbon fiber rear aerofoil like on the Black Series model.

Debuting at the LA Auto Show, it is expected to herald a new future of small-ish American trucks. Similar, though not identical, to the global Chevy Colorado sold around the world, the new Colorado fills a space that’s largely been abandoned by the major automakers since Ford discontinued the Ranger and Dodge and Chevy outsourced their small trucks to Asian builders.

 

This red beauty is a plug-in diesel hybrid with fuel economy estimated at 261 mpg. Alongside this two-person ride, Volkswagen presented the Twin Up! Concept, adopting the XL-1 powertrain at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show the twin up.

 

Revealed at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show is a new range-topping F-Type R coupé. The F-Type R coupé gets a 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine that produces 550 PS and 680 Nm of torque, capable of going from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.0 seconds and an electronically limited top-speed of 186 mph (297.6 km/h).
