Aria FXE 
America is due for a legitimate competitor to the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren, and you’ve never heard of the company that says it is the one to take on those storied brands with an all-wheel drive hybrid-electric 1,150-horsepower. It is the Aria Group, an industrial supplier best known for the high quality of the carbon fiber bodywork it provides Singer for that company’s amazing Porsche 911 builds.Aria will take on the world with the FXE, which  use a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine  from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Aria claims 720 horsepower for the engine, but that may have been an early estimate, because Chevrolet announced the ZR1 at 755 horsepower. The small block will drive the rear wheels through an 8-speed sequential transaxle, surely from one of the usual suspects in the racing/supercar community such as Xtrac, Hewland, or Graziano.The FXE enjoys another 540 horsepower from the twin electric motors driving the front wheels, which also provide all-wheel drive and regenerative braking to recapture energy. This is powered by a 10 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack (about the same capacity as that in the upgraded BMW i8).
Together, they accelerate the FXE to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and to a top speed of 220 mph.
A less expensive FE model will use a naturally aspirated version of the gas engine driving the rear wheels, with no electric motors on the front axle.
In either configuration, Aria’s cars will be a technological tour de force, employing patented new techniques for fabricating its carbon fiber chassis and 3D printing to create various titanium and aluminum parts.

BMW I8 Roadster  
The design of the i8 is heavily influenced by the legendary BMW M1, the last mid-engined sports car designed by BMW prior to the i8. The chassis is constructed of lightweight aluminum with a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) safety cell. This platform offers perfect axle load distribution and a very low center of gravity. The power-operated black soft top can be opened or closed in as little as 15 seconds at speeds up to 30 MPH. Other exterior features include butterfly doors,  BMW Laser Light LED adaptive headlights, black-painted brake calipers, a trunk lid spoiler, Roadster badges on the B-pillars, and a two-piece front splitter as equipped with the Aerodynamics Package. The i8 Roadster is powered by a hybrid drivetrain consisting of a mid-mounted 1.5L TwinPower turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, paired with a front-mounted eDrive electric motor, which combined offer a total power output of 369 HP and 420 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by a 6-speed automatic transaxle while the electric motor powers the front wheels through a two-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain allows the i8 Roadster to reach 60 MPH in approximately 4.4 seconds with an electronically governed top speed of 155 MPH, all while achieving a 69 MPG highway fuel economy. The 11.6 kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack can be charged fully in just over three hours.
