It’s got a six-speed manual transmission that can automatically match revs while downshifting AND a 3.7-litre V6 engine offering 332 horsepower. We couldn’t make a list of the fastest new cars and not include the 370Z! If you’re looking to outrun the law then Nissan’s model could be just the ticket. This beauty sprints from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds flat, packs 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque from a 6.4-litre V8. There’s no messing around with Dodge’s latest offering, the Challenger. Because it’s good to know that you’re protected while maneuvering roads at a high speed. Not only can the M235i hit 60 in 4.4 seconds, but it’s also the 2015 IIHS Top Safety Pick. Need a car that can hold the family, but also beat the police in a chase? Then the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is the ride for you! The Evolution sedan reaches 60mph in 4.9 seconds and offers a four-cylinder turbo engine capable of 291 horsepower. If you’re a rich criminal you can pick up this Lotus for around $100,000. Lotus calls it “the fastest Lotus road car of the New Millennium.” That might be one hell of an endorsement, but the Evora 400 seems deserving of the title given its top speed of 186mph and ability to reach 60mph in 4.1 seconds. Ford Mustang GTĤ.7 seconds is all it takes for the Ford Mustang GT to reach 60mph, and when you pair that with its 5.0-litre V8 engine that sends 400 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll own any high-speed chase you happen to find yourself in. We’re not endorsing the idea in real life, but if you’ve ever wondered what sort of ride you’d need to outrun the cops in a high-speed chase, wonder no more! Police cruisers definitely offer significant power (most squads drive Dodge Chargers and Ford Crown Victoria Inspectors), but these 11 new cars beat them every time.
