New wheels in the 2015 market

TESLA MODEL X
Tesla's revolutionary step forward takes them to the SUV frontier. The Model X is the first SUV ever to have a 5 star crash safety rating due to the lack of a gasoline engine up front, but that isn't its curtain call. It's the cleanest SUV on the planet, utilising the zero emissions powertrain from the P85D to launch the Model X into orbit: 0-60 mph comes in under 3.2 seconds and top speed is a limited 155 mph. It also has extremely clever packaging design, leading to an incredible amount of interior space in an SUV that is visually no bigger than a Hyundai Tucson. The most eye catching feature would have to be the vertically hinged "eagle" doors for the rear, and yes, it's on the production model. While those rear doors aren't exactly city and parking lot friendly, it's still visual drama for a tech marvel of a car.

Ford F150 Superduty

FORD F-SERIES SUPERDUTY
Representing the perfect antithesis to Tesla's Model X, the biggest, baddest of the Ford "super trucks" gets a complete revamp and a restyle for 2017. It's still the hulking brute as before, but the front end has been restyled to a whole new level of menace. The new truck line features heavier-duty four-wheel-drive components, driveline, axles and towing hardware, and is 24 percent structurally stiffer than the old Superduty. What is this super duty it has to perform? Most would assume it's going to be used for delivering 500 tonnes of freedom to oppressed nations around the globe and tow the entirety of America to foreign nations (bald eagles and beer included). Its actual purpose, hauling, suits America and its wide open freeways, not to mention the millions of Americans who like to tow and haul stuff for no other reason than just-because. It'll do well, but one has to wonder when America will grow over its obsession with oversized pickup trucks.

Lamborghini Hurracan Spyder

LAMBORGHINI HURRACAN SPYDER
The Hurracan is an opinion dividing car from the Italian maestros after decades: some dislike it for being too tame and watered down as a Lambo, others love it for its sleek looks and its uncanny ability to look great in gaudy lime green. We're definitely in the latter group, and a topless version of a Hurracan is more exciting than Kate Upton in a lime green two-piece. The LP610-4 Spyder has the same 5.2 litre V10 putting out 610 horsepower and will accelerate to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Yeah, we know, the Tesla Model X accelerates faster. However, this looks better and is more evocative than a Hyundai lookalike with stupid rear doors. The Lambo also has structural upgrades that negate the effects of losing the roof, so it can definitely sling it with other mental supercars.

Ferrari 488 Spider

FERRARI 488 SPIDER
No, it doesn't have 8 legs and yes, it means the same thing as Lambo's "Spyder". The open top 488 is a direct response to Lamborghini's Hurracan, with the added advantage of being powered by a turbocharged engine. The 4 litre turbocharged V8 puts out 660 hp, 30 more horsepower than the Lambo, and slices through to 60 mph in 3 seconds. In a contest between the two topless heroes, we honestly can't decide. If the Lambo is Kate Upton, the Ferrari is Emily Ratajkowski. You just can't choose without whining about why you can't have both. Well, for us mere mortals we don't have the remotest chance of being in that position to choose, but we'd probably go for Emi..err, the Ferrari. Because it's a turbocharged maniac with more power and torque (the car, not the bikini model).
