Today, the New York International Auto Show has kicked off with a special press-preview day. One of the most talked about cars on show is the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. True to its name, it is powered by a fire-breathing 840 bhp version of the American company's familiar supercharged HEMI engine. This helps the car to be the fastest regular production drag car with a quarter mile time of under 10 seconds. Ready for delivery later this year as a 2018 model, this limited production, single year Demon will be available to just 3,000 enthusiasts in the United States and 300 in Canada.
Audi used the show in the Big Apple to reveal the R8 LMS GT4. The latest edition to the German company's customer racing program is very close to the stock car, sharing around 60% of the regular production components. Among the first outings for the R8 LMS GT4 will be at the Nurburgring 24 Hours next month.
Following a small preview last week, Lexus have now taken the wraps off the LS 500 F Sport. The performance oriented version of the luxury sedan features the same twin turbo V6 as the 'base' version.
The big news today was of McLaren's plan to return to the Indy 500 with two-time World Champion Fernando slated to drive an Andretti run and Honda-engined Dallara. The car will be liveried in the same classic colours of the McLaren M16 that was driven to victory by Johnny Rutherford at Indy back in 1974.
