Hyundai debuted the long-awaited hot version of the Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 5 N. Its dual-motor AWD powertrain puts out up to 641 horsepower with the N Grin Boost engaged. And Hyundai will try to ramp up driving engagement with drag, drift and track modes, artificial noise and a simulated 8-seed dual-clutch transmission.
Aston Martin debuted its new "old-school brute," the Valour. It's limited to 110 units. It pairs a 705-horsepower 5.2-liter V12 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. And like the new DB12, it will have automotive enthusiasts clamoring for more from Aston Martin.
