New York Auto Show 2017

The Dodge Demon caused a serious stir when it launched at the New York Auto Show in April, but some details remained unclear: namely, how much it would cost. Now we have a price tag, it's clear the road-legal dragster offers more horsepower-per-dollar than you can get almost anywhere else.

The big claims continue rolling in ahead of Lucid's first production car – the Air – hitting the market. We already know the base model will be cheaper than the Model S, but our recent chat with the company has shed light on the crazy performance you can expect from its range-topping cars.

With the 840-hp Demon, you'd think Dodge would have the most powerful new muscle car at the New York Auto Show. But you'd be wrong. Trans Am Worldwide has revealed a wild project that combines GM underpinnings, 1970s Pontiac Firebird Trans Am looks, and 1,000 hp of supercharged V8 muscle.

Hyundai's Genesis luxury marque is working to nudge its way into the conversation alongside more established luxury leaders. At the New York Auto Show, it's catching hold of eyes and minds with a rolling piece of fuel cell jewelry it calls the GV80, an SUV concept.

Subaru has confirmed its plans to build a hulking family four-wheel drive for America. Although it's just a concept at the moment, a car looking very similar to the Ascent you see here will be popping up in showrooms soon, with its sights set on taking down the new VW Atlas.

Created by Toyota's design team in California, the FT-4X Concept is an urban utility vehicle aimed towards millennials and their need to "get away." The FT-4X is part FJ and part Tacoma, all in a neat package that is smaller than the RAV4.

The Audi R8 came as a shock when it launched. It was so far removed from the sedans we knew, the fact it drove beautifully was almost irrelevant. Since then, the R8 has become a flagship for the brand's road cars and a base for its racing operations, a tradition continued with the R8 LMS GT4. ​

After one of the longest teases in history, Dodge has unchained the Demon in New York. As predicted, it's one of the wildest production cars ever created, with 840 hp (626 kW) being put to a set of drag radials. Meet the new king of all-American performance.

Jeep has whipped the covers off the Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk. With the V8 from the Dodge Hellcat crammed into its engine bay, the Trackhawk is the quickest, most powerful four-wheel drive to emerge from the Jeep factory.

Nissan is bursting at the seams to celebrate the iconic Z sports car's birthday. The car is nearing 50 years old, but that birthday won't actually happen until 2019. That's not stopping Nissan from a "happy birthday" Heritage Edition of the 2018 350Z Coupe.

Dodge has been running a long tease ahead of the New York Auto Show, drip-feeding us info about the Demon. And it's working, but it also gave the opportunistic team of Texan tuners at Hennessey a chance to stake its own claim on supernatural muscle car performance. Dodge Demon, meet The Exorcist.
