The Viper has already earned its place in history as one of the most iconic American sports cars of all time. Now it's back for another model year, with some extra color choices and a brand-new setting that directs the traction control to keep you chugging along in the rain. Three new exterior paint options are being rolled out for the...

    Power output of 362 horsepower and torque of 420 pound-feet is reasonable for a 3,300-pound sports coupe with a low drag coefficient of 0.26, but it's nowhere near the top of the power charts.

That's the premise of the 2015 BMW i8 plug-in hybrid sports coupe, which was unveiled in production form this morning at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show. When it reaches dealer showrooms in the U.S. sometime next spring...
