Saleen S5S Raptor
Its always good to see the home team show the Europeans that we can build a supercar just as well and just as powerful as the latest Ferrari or Lamborghini. The latest American supercar challenger is the 650 horsepower Saleen S5S Raptor which is said to be capable of hitting 0-60 in 3.2 and will top out at over 200 mph. More pictures after the jump.

Pontiac Solstice Coupe
As if the Pontiac Sport Ute/El Camino wasn't enough, they've decided to add a coupe version of the Solstice to their growing stable of peformance cars. A sleek fastback-style roofline differentiates itself from its roadster brethren, but still delivers an open-air driving experience with a removable hard top. Power comes from a 173hp 2.4L four cylinder engine on the base model or a turbocharged 260hp 2.0L on the GXP model. More pictures after jump. [$TBD]

Infiniti's curvy FX crossover is getting a whole new look for 2009. The new FX50 adds a few more curves to its already shapely exterior and wrap around head and taillights give the car a much more aggressive look.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560

The car is said to be powered by a 5.2L V10 that outputs 552HP and even manages to be 44lbs lighter than the original Gallardo. More pics after the jump. [$TBD]

Ariel Atom 500
The speed freaks at Ariel like to go fast, real fast. The current Ariel Atom is capable of taking you from 0-60 in under three seconds using a supercharged 300hp engine that's housed inside a vehicle that looks something like a go kart with the skeleton of an F1 car. Now they've gone ahead and dropped a 2.4 liter V8 in there that can hit 500hp at 10,000 rpm! You can bet with all those spoliers they had a hell of a time working on keeping the Atom 500 on the ground where it should be. As lightweight as it is, we wouldn't be surprised if you go airborne off the starting line. [$TBD]
Maserati GranTurismo S
The sexy Maserati GranTurismo is getting a much needed performance upgrade in the newly unveiled GranTurismo S. The S model shares the same 440hp 4.7 liter engine from another Italian beauty, the Alfa 8C Competizone, and is coupled with the MC-Shift gearbox. Other performance enhancements include dual cast iron and aluminum brake discs with aluminum 6 piston calipers built by Brembo, exclusively for Maserati. Additional image after the jump. [$TBD]

2009 Mercedes SL65 AMG
One thing we love about the Mercedes AMG series is the fact that they're practical enough for quick runs to the grocery store and is powerful enough to keep up with just about any Lambo or Ferrari thats up to the challenge. The 09 SL65 packs in a Twin-Turbo V12 with a maximum of 604 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque and you might think thats a little too much for a convertible, but drop the top it becomes the perfect way to hear the engine sing until its lungs explode. [$TBD]
Hummer H3T
The new Hummer H3T isn't an oversized blingmobile like its much larger brothers. GM actually put some practicality in this truck with a large truck bed big enough to haul your dirt bike and a few other of your toys. The H3T will be available with a 3.7L 5 cylinder and a 5.3L V8 top of the line Alpha model. More pics after the jump. [$TBD]
Fisker Karma
Cars that look and perform as well as the Fisker Karma, don't really have the best fuel mileage, but this isn't just any car. The Fisker Karma is the first four-door luxury hybrid that uses a small gas engine that turns the generator, charges the lithium ion batteries which then power the electric motor. All of this allows the Karma to drive emissions free for up to 50 miles if the car is charged daily and if charged daily, the owner will only need to fuel the car with gas once a year. The car can also be optioned with a solar roof that helps charge and cool the interior while parked and Fisker will even provide an option to purchase solar panels for their home to that will generate electricity during the day to help charge the car overnight, which also means zero costs and zero emissions.

2009 Volkswagen Passat CC
Sleek and sexy don't tend to be used in the same sentence when describing your average Volkswagen, but that might change when they release the new Passat CC. Continuing the
"four-door coupe" trend Mercedes started with the CLS, The Passat CC also features coupe like styling with its wide profile and lower roofline. The car will be available with a number of engine options with the most power choice being a 3.6L 300 horsepower V6 with all wheel drive standard and a choice of a six speed automatic or manual gearbox. More pics after the jump. [$TBD]

Hummer HX Concept
There's always been that my car's bigger and badder than your's complex when it comes to Humvees, and the HX concept is no exception. It looks like Humvee is aiming its HX at Jeep owners who want the open air/off road driving experience from their Wranglers but inside something with a bit more presence. The HX also features modular accessories such as a removable roof system, body panels, and fender flares. Rumor is the HX will be hitting dealer lots in 2010/11 as the Hummer H4 and we hope GM takes a cue from their Camaro development and stay as close to the concept's design as possible. [$TBD]
