Muscle Cars

Our Selection – and where you will find what you want



hot hatches, muscle cars Here is our selection of muscle cars, hot hatches, sedans and coupes. The smallest has an engine of less than 2 liters, and the biggest has an engine of six liters, which is quite a range, both in size and performance. Not all of these are new to the market, either - we keep some more memorable cars on the site even if they have not been around for years.

Some of the faster coupes almost qualify as supercars in performance and luxury, but don't quite make it. These are mostly in the 400 bhp range, and are very quick cars over ordinary roads.

In fact, if you are looking for luxury combined with good performance, you might find one of our hot sedans or coupes more interesting than many a supercar. I particularly recommend you take a look at one of these – details in the table below – depending on your interests:

  • BMW 650i coupe – not beautiful, but great performance and a high level of equipment
  • Chrysler 300C SRT-8 – a real bombshell, surprising many people in more expensive metal
  • Ford Focus ST – great all-round hot hatch
  • Jaguar XF - super looking smooth supercharged V-8 with plenty of power
  • MINI Cooper S – about as small as you can get with good performance
Below are most of the interesting muscle cars that have been introduced over the past few years – some American, some European and some Japanese. There are also a few oldies.

We will be adding more regularly, and as usual we will include information about the car, the technical specification and plenty of photos.

Small muscle cars - hot hatches -
In fact, some of these muscle cars are very small – we usually refer to these as hot hatches – and they have a lot more muscle than run-of-the-mill hatchbacks.

- or big muscle cars

Of course, a big V-8 muscle car makes the standard car look scrawny as well.

Most important, you also get an unbiased view of what is good about the car and what is not. Quite a few we have driven, and you can find those by just looking for 'Road Test' in the latest list of muscle cars below.

The range will become wider than in the days when these cars were on Fast-Autos, and we already have one quite small hot hatch and a large muscle car lined up for you.

If there are other cars you would like us to write about, please let us know. Also, when you are thinking of buying a muscle car or hot hatch – or even a coupe that does not qualify as a supercar – just ask us and we will give you expert advice.
