The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR set lap records at 13 race tracks around the country, including some of the most popular such as Laguna Seca and Road Atlanta. The car even managed to beat the fastest supercars, like the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, despite being considerably down on power and price.

The Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] has launched its first Cobra Jet based on the sixth-generation Mustang. Just 50 examples will be made of this 8.0-second turnkey drag special.

It looks like Alfa Romeo’s highly anticipated Giulia sedan will be arriving later than initially thought. Unfortunately, we hear that the model due after the Giulia has also been delayed.

You'll find all of these stories and more in today's car news, right here at Motor Authority.
