It's fair to say the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is already fairly brisk. Aside from a few limited-run Mitsubishi Evolution models, it has the highest specific output of any production four-cylinder engine, all-wheel-drive traction and a lightning-fast dual-clutch transmission. MUST SEE: Size Matters 2: The Jumping/Drifting Semi Truck Is Back At Work In New Video The upshot is a 4.4-second 0-60 sprint and 155 mph top speed.

Since its launch the second-generation Smart ForTwo has already received a minor facelift, gaining new LED detailing and an expanded color palette in 2010. The car has also...

Lotus Engineering and a number of research and automotive firms and governmental entities have come up with solutions that offer realistic exhaust sounds to those outside the cabin, and it's not clear which solution Brabus is using, but it's able to replicate a...
