Porsche’s Boxster and Cayman are coming seriously close to encroaching on the performance the automaker’s 911 Carrera models thanks to new GTS editions, which go on sale this summer. The mid-engine duo benefit from more power under the hood, unique styling treatments, and a number of extras in the cabin.

Mercedes-Benz has revealed its new S63 AMG Coupe sledgehammer. The vehicle goes on sale this fall and will be offered with all-wheel drive as standard in the U.S. to help tame its monstrous 585 horsepower.

Chrysler has confirmed that it will temporary stop production of its Viper supercar in order to reduce inventory levels. Dealers not understanding the customer needs have been blamed for the build-up of Vipers stuck on lots.
