2012 BMW Vision EfficientDynamics
When BMW decided to join the eco car game, they conceptualize what would their green car be for the German carmaker. Sure, hybrids can be somewhat boring to drive but when this concept machine showed up at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, this is the kind of machine that changed its course. The Vision EfficientDynamics promises the same fun-to-drive value of a BMW while staying true to its eco-car genes. What's so cool about this machine is that it even has a starring role in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol in 2011. As a PHV, the Vision Efficient Dynamics is powered by a three-cylinder diesel engine combined with two electric motors. When all three kicked in, it churns out 356HP of power and 590lb-ft of torque while delivering CO2 emissions of just 99g/km.

1969 Shelby GT500
For 1969, the Shelby GT500 received some minor cosmetic changes and a change in length by about 4 inches. Some leftover 1969 models of the Shelby GT500 (and its GT350 stablemate) were reissued with 1970 VINs under the supervision of the FBI and for 1970, they even come with a front chin spoiler and two black hood stripes. There are a few 1971 and 1972 models were made by request of some Belgian dealer and marketed as "Shelby Europa" for the European market.

2012 Kia World Challenge Optima
The Kia Optima (known in Korea as the K5) is one of the most successful midsize sedans made by the Korean manufacturer so what if this has a chance to be in the world of motorsport? Having learned its lesson from the Forte Koup, the Optima joined the ranks of the World Challenge series in 2012 and on the eight round of the 2012 season, Michael Galati propelled the Optima to the brand's first ever win at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario.
