Cheap Speed: 400-500 HP From the Showroom Floor

400 500 HP From the Showroom Floor
We love fast cars at Motor Trend HQ. Although there’s no such thing as a cheap, fast, reliable car in the aftermarket, we decided to see what it might cost to get, say, 400-500 hp from a showroom floor. We capped the price criteria at $100,000 (but we didn’t go that high) and set a horsepower goal of 400-500 hp as measured by the automakers. Here are 15 of the least expensive ways to get your speed fix without turning wrenches and voiding warranties.
The 2016 Audi S6 retails for $70,900, but its twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V-8 pumps out plenty of power: 450 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. The Audi S6 isn't much of a looker, but it's got a nicely appointed interior, which is as great on the open road as it is ripping up your favorite back road.
Although $66,490 might sound like a lot for a Jeep, the 2016 Grand Cherokee SRT with its 475-hp, 6.4-liter V-8 that twists out 470 lb-ft of torque is quite the steal when you survey the super SUV segment.
The 2016 Mercedes-AMG C63 is the Teutonic torque titan of this list: Its twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V-8 makes 469 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. The $66,175 price tag reflects not only its power but also one of the best interiors in the business.
The legendary German driving machine has had its status challenged as of late, but on the hp-per-dollar scale the 2016 BMW M3 still delivers: 425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque come on in a surge from the twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter I-6 found under the hood. The price: $64,495 for the M3 (four-door) but a little more, $66,695, for the M4 (two-door).
