It made its official debut at the 2015 L.A. Auto Show and there’s a lot to love about the Alfa Romeo Giulia, especially the Quadrifoglio model.

Under the hood is a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 sourced from Ferrari and it will go zero to 60 in just 3.8 seconds.

It hasn’t officially bowed yet, but the Aston Martin DB11 will make its debut next year as a replacement for the DB9. As the first major product for the company’s Second Century Plan, we expect the British automaker to come out swinging. Rumor has it that Aston Martin is looking at a turbocharged engine from AMG, although many believe the company will stick to a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine.

The Mazda Miata’s Italian cousin bowed at the 2015 L.A. Auto Show sporting a turbocharged motor with 160 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque.
