Is a loud engine growl a must-have? Shop for a 2018 Dodge Challenger, which comes in seven trim levels and four engine choices. This starts with a 3.6L V6 engine with 305 hp, up to a supercharged 6.2L V8 with 808 hp. For more flair, pick the Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro for a car that stands out in a crowd—and you can hear beyond the crowd, too.
Design
If you want something that makes a splash in your driveway, consider the 2019 Camaro. It's available in a thrilling Red Hot finish and nine other unique colors. When you need something more understated, the Infiniti Q60 and Mercedes-Benz C300 are C-suite ready and will have you feeling like a boss. The 2017-2020 Infiniti Q60 is a contemporary luxury coupe with simulated-leather upholstery and dual infotainment touchscreens.
Performance
Between great handling and sleek low-profile curves, the two-seat Nissan 370Z has you covered.

All four trims on 2020 models have a 3.7L V6 engine, with a choice of a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission.

With coupes, standout performance comes paired with impressive features. The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette (2014-2019) is a stunning sports car coupe with the latest technology. Standard features on the 2017-2019 Corvette include a Bose® sound system, Brembo® brakes, smartphone connectivity, USB ports, an eight-inch central touchscreen, and more.
