The upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C will be priced from $54,000 excluding destination. The Italian automaker still hasn’t announced definitive plans on its North American roll out, which means we don’t have official EPA fuel economy figures either. One thing’s for sure though, the 4C is going to be one attractive sports car on the market with a 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine pumping out 240 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The lightweight coupe is already impressing out on the track and we can’t wait to get our hands on one to experience it.

The all-new Maserati Ghibli S is the Italian luxury automaker’s entrant to the mass market, and it appears to already be a hit with consumers. Priced from $66,850, the Ghibli S comes standard with a 3.0-liter V6 pushing out 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The fuel economy is acceptable for a luxury sedan with this much performance: 15-mpg city, 25-mpg highway. But it’s the Ghibli’s good looks and Italian prestige that are sure to set it apart from the German crowd.

The menacing Chevrolet COPO Camaro is a drag-ready entrant that can be had with a choice of three V8 engines: a naturally-aspirated 427 cubic-inch motor or a supercharged 350- and 396-cubic engine. With only 69 planned for production, it’s hardly a surprise that the COPO Camaro made the list as the purpose-built drag car has already had success in its previous model years. The COPO Camaro is expected to cost around $90,000, but its price tag varies depending on the plethora of options available.

With a whopping 560 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque, the BMW M5 is actually the most powerful vehicle on this list. Powered by the German automaker’s 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine, the M5 gets a surprising 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. It all comes at a price however, with the BMW M5 starting at $93,825 for the 2014 model year. But to some, it’s a small price to pay for the “Ultimate Driving Machine.”

The Jaguar F-Type R is the most expensive vehicle on the list, barely making the cut with a starting price tag of $99,895. But it’s hard to argue its stunningly good looks and impressive performance from the 5.0-liter V8 providing 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy nets 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, but we have a feeling it’ll be significantly less once you climb behind the wheel and put that heavy foot on the gas pedal.
