10 cars you have to wait for
MORE AT CNBC.COM
Nobody likes to wait. When people want something, they want it now. This is never more true than when the object in question is a sexy new product, one that has been the subject of mouthwatering, tantalizing ad campaigns, such as those frequently used for new cars.
New cars debut at auto shows well in advance of their street dates, giving enthusiasts months, sometimes years, to salivate over photos and to fantasize about when they can drive one off the lot. Needless to say, the longer the waiting period, the more desirable these cars become.
What follows is a list of 10 upcoming cars that you can’t buy yet, provided by Karl Brauer, CEO and editor-in-chief of TotalCarScore.com, an online review aggregator and information resource for cars on the market. According to Brauer, these cars will be worth the wait. In some cases, the cars are slated for release so far in the future that pictures don't yet exist, so we used the latest models available in those cases.
Read ahead and see which cars made TotalCarScore.com’s list of cars you have to wait for.
2013 SRT Viper
The Dodge Viper returns to the marketplace after a two-year absence. Now dubbed the SRT Viper, Brauer of TotalCarScore.com referred to it as “the newest product from Chrysler's newest, performance-oriented brand” in an email.
“With 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque from the V10 engine,” Brauer adds, “it will have a top speed of 206 mph (miles per hour) and hit 60 mph in around 3.5 seconds,” he said. “An updated chassis, suspension and interior make it the most refined Viper ever, all for a starting price just under $100,000.”
2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus
“From its LED lighting, front and rear, to its mid-mounted, 550 horsepower V10 engine, the top-of-the-performance-line R8 V10 Plus is lighter and quicker than the standard R8 V10,” Brauer said, adding that it will reach 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
“This is a track-ready ride with firmer suspension settings and less sound insulation, in the name of saving weight,” he said. “When it arrives in Audi showrooms next year it will cost about $185,000.”
NOTE: The 2012 model is pictured.
2015 BMW i8 Hybrid
The 2015 BMW i8 is the German manufacturer’s first plug-in hybrid, focusing on both performance and fuel economy in equal parts. Brauer expects the price to exceed $150,000 when it hits the market.
“A pure electric driving range of 20 miles will be supplemented by a small, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine mounted behind the passenger compartment,” Brauer said. “Despite the diminutive powertrain, the i8 will hit 60 mph in less than 5 seconds and get 70 miles per gallon.”
2013 Porsche Cayman
“Following the recent redesign of Porsche's convertible Boxster will be its coupe stable mate, the Cayman,” Brauer said. He cited a low starting price of about $55,000.
“Available in base Cayman and upscale Cayman S trim levels, this mid-engine sports car offers more horsepower and a lighter, stiffer chassis than the drop-top Boxster, making it the more serious driver’s car and a rival to Porsche's own 911.”
NOTE: The 2012 Porsche Cayman is pictured.
