Ford Taurus SHO
Let's say you 're looking for as much performance car as you can get. Your budget will not let you go for one of the more expensive models here, but you also enjoy a measure of exclusivity. Three words-OK two words and an acronym-Ford. Taurus. SHO. And right about now you're probably asking; "What's so exciting about a Taurus SHO?" Well, when was the last time you saw one on the street? They're rare, an absolute joy to drive, and boast a 20.1 cubic foot trunk-along with a 365-horsepower turbocharged V6 and a starting price of $ 40,220.

Go for the 5.0-liter V8 option and you'll enjoy the pleasures of 420-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8; along with the rest of the goodness of Hyundai's newest sedan.

Furthermore, your family will be coddled in luxury while being protected by one of the highest rated cars for safety in its class. Hyundai Genesis 5.0pricing starts at $ 51,500.
Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4MATIC Wagon
These days, station wagons enjoy a lot of popularity among the young and hip as a pair of orthopedic lace-ups. However, consider for a moment if you would, the look of embarrassment you would leave on the face of the driver of pretty much any performance-oriented machine if you ordered your E63 AMG S 4MATIC Wagon with the badge-delete option, so they would not get a hint until you unleashed on them the full fury of that 577-horsepower turbocharged V8. For even more fun, fit it with a vanity plate reading, "Served". (As in; "You just got ...") Pricing starts at $ 103,200.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution has been called the best handling sedan in its price range. As its name suggests, the model evolved from Mitsubishi's Lancer. However, the "Evo" (as it's affectionately known) takes everything mechanically around the Lancer and dials it up to 11. Brembo brakes, a performance-oriented all-wheel drive system, and a twin-clutch automated manual transmission are among the upgrades offered with the Lancer Evolution. A 291-horsepower, 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 300 ft-lbs of torque supplies power. Zero to 60 is quoted at just under five seconds. Pricing starts at $ 34,495.
Tesla Model S P85D
There's a video going around people experiencing the acceleration of the Tesla Model S P85D in what the company has gleefully dubbed the "Insane" mode. While it's difficult to describe, consider this. In a recent drag race, the all-wheel drive 691-horsepower Tesla P85D ran a 11-second quarter-mile at 114.6 miles per hour and zero to 60 in 3.1 seconds. Plus, with the new Autopilot, the Tesla Parks itself, pretty much drives itself, and can come out of your garage to meet you when it's time to take the kids to school. The Tesla Model S P85D costs $ 105,670.
Volkswagen GTI
Though credited with inventing the "hot hatch", other manufacturers did high-performance hatchbacks before the 1976 Volkswagen GTI ever saw the light of day. However, the GTI was the one that put the concept on the map. While still hewing closely to its mission of providing outstanding performance potential in a family hatchback, the 2015 GTI is the most sophisticated version ever Volkswagen has ever offered. With premium levels of fit, finish, and materials-in addition to a very enjoyable driving experience - the Mk VII GTI is a very nice way to go. Pricing starts at $ 24,785.
Volvo V60 T6 R-Design AWD
Everything about the lovely Volvo V60 T6 R-Design wagon says it was built with performance in mind. The fluidly waving styling, the large wheels, the aggressive looking low-profile tires, and the tastefully subtle aerodynamic tweaks all add up to the promise of exhilaration. And yes, the V60 T6 R-Design Polestar lives up to its promise. Power comes from a 325-horsepower 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with a torque of 354 ft-lbs. A six-speed automatic transmission drives the engine's output to all four wheels. Volvo quotes a zero to 60 of 5.4 seconds. Pricing starts at $ 45,400.
