SRT is adding a new Grand Touring (GT) package to the 2014 Viper lineup—as well as a new hand-painted Stryker Green color that’s bound to turn heads, if the unmistakable sound of the 640-horsepower V-10 and exotic shape aren’t enough already. The Viper GT, which will be shown for the first time beginning this week at the Detroit Auto Show, will include Nappa leather seats, as well as the five-mode stability control system with two-mode Bilstein Damptronic Select suspension—both items that had been previously offered only in the Viper GTS. In all, the 2014 SRT Viper Grand Touring could prove a compelling package that provides some of the ride, handling, and livability benefits of the GTS, without its high sticker price.

Showing “potential for a new production version of the sportiest Beetle,” the Dune concept is raised two inches in ride height and wears a more rugged-looking body treatment. On the roof, a ski rack holding a pair of skis hints at one potential use of a more go-anywhere Beetle. One thing that’s not on the equipment list, however, is all-wheel drive. The Dune is based around the R-Line’s running gear, meaning it gets a punchy 210-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, and front-wheel drive. VW’s XDS electronic differential locking system aids traction on the front axle.

About two weeks ago, Kia announced that would head to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show with a 2+2 concept car   that will preview the long-rumored Kia sports car. Today the company revealed the concept’s official name and a new image of the concept. This new concept is named the GT4 Stinger and, according to the details that Kia gave us, it will bring into focus the latest version of Kia’s signature “Tiger Nose” grille. Along with the revised grille, the GT4 Stinger will also feature vertical LED headlights flanking the white surround of the grille, brake cooling vents, 20-inch wheels and a carbon fiber front splitter mounted below the bumper. This first image really gives us a nice look at this striking front end, and we simply cannot wait to see it.
