The 2012 Lexus LFA is the brand's first high-performance sports car. Click here for more Lexus pictures.
2012 Aston Martin DBX: It will pick up where the DBS leaves off to set a new high for power and performance at 007's favored car company. James Bond won't need a rocket belt. Just lots of money.
2012 Audi R4: A surprise electric-sports-car concept confirms Audi’slong-rumored “baby R8.” The compact R4 will be a sister to new Volkswagenand Porsche 2-passenger sports cars, but with a style and character all its own.
2012 BMW 6-Series: Sharper styling, new engines, and more gadgets highlight the imminent next iteration ofBMW’s suave 4-seat coupe and convertible. But check your credit score. The redesigned 6-Series is predicted to be a lot more expensive.
2012 Lamborghini Murciélago: Attention teenagers and wealthy speed-freaks: Lamborghini is about to unleash an even faster, sexier top-line supercar. But the redesigned Murciélago also promises to be lighter, cleaner, and roomier. So it's more practical, right? Ha!
2012 Lexus LFA: Toyota’s luxury division unveils its first high-performance sports car after five years of “will they or won’t they.” The LFA is Ferrari-fighter, image-builder, technical testbed, and executive pet-project all in one. But only 500 will ever be built--at $375,000 a pop.
2012 Mazda RX-7: The "rotary rocket" sports car is coming back after more than 10 years away. It promises to be the fastest, most-agile RX-7 yet. It could also be a hybrid.
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class: A timely redesign promises fresh looks, more power, and slight dimensional gains for the pioneer hideaway-hardtop sports car. The next SLK-Class should also be easier on gas, but the real shocker is a rumored all-electric version.
2012 Nissan GT-R: Nissan’s flagship sports car is getting more power and numerous detail changes for 2012. Too bad GT-R prices are likely to go way up.
2012 Porsche Boxster: Porsche's mid-engine convertible will lighten up and shift down to 4-cylinder power for better fuel economy with no loss in performance. The redesigned Boxster won't look very different, but its prices probably will.
2012 Porsche 911 Carrera: It won't look very different, but the next generation of the iconic rear-engine sports car will be leaner, meaner, cleaner, easier on gas, and even more agile. Inevitably, the new 911s will cost more too.
2012 Porsche 928: Is Porsche about to do a coupe spin-off of its first-ever sedan? The odds seem to favor a "two-door Panamera," but not until the economy picks up.
2012 Toyota Celica: Toyota's once-popular sporty coupe is set to be reborn as a low-dollar, high-mpg MazdaMX5-fighter with rear-wheel drive and a Subaru powertrain. Goliath teaming up with David? Yup, and it could be just the start of a beautiful friendship.
