Top Performing Models of 2015

Here are a few of the best-performing new cars of 2015.

Ferrari 458 Italia

Many tout the new Ferrari 458 Italia as the best performing vehicle ever made. Those not willing to go so far will admit that it is the best Ferrari. It has a 4.5-liter V8 rated at 562-hp and 400 lb-ft torque. The Spider Speciale version hits 60 from full stop in just 3.0 seconds, and has a top speed of 202 mph.

Nissan GT-R

This car is fast and powerful, bringing top-flight performance at a price of just over $100K. It goes from 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds, launched by 545-hp and 463 lb-ft torque from a 3.8 liter V6. All wheel drive with ;a six-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox is the only way to harness so much energy in a usable manner.

Tesla Model S

An electric car has to top the list because what Tesla is doing is downright amazing. This is a 5-passenger sedan with the capacity to go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. It has a rear-mounted 362-hp engine ;that sends its torque directly into a reduction gear that powers the differential. That's right. This car has no transmission. How cool is that?! Not to mention that it continues to break its own Consumer Reports record as the highest-rated vehicle ever.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT

The SLS line is on its way out, and it went out with a bang. It raised its previous output to a whopping 622-hp and 468 lb-ft of torque from a 6.2-liter V8. Top speed has fallen to a respectable 192 mph, but makes up for it in improved grip and more stability at high speeds.
