New cars this week

The new BMW M4 is here, and it's one angry beaver. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six engine, this new performance beemer makes a whopping 503 Hp and 479 lb-ft torque. Said power is sent to the rear wheels through its eight-speed automatic gearbox, allowing the car to hit 0-100 in 3.8 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 290 kph. The M4's interior has been left mostly untouched, except the usual M-badges and M-specific graphics on the infotainment screens. The car is set for its mass-market debut next spring with the top-spec M4 Comp starting at $74,700.

From mass production track machines to a bespoke work of art, we have the Ferrari Omologata. Built by the prancing horse for a "discerning European client", the car is based off the already elegant 812 Superfast. Artisans from Maranello kept only the headlights and the windscreen, replacing the rest with hand-crafted, completely revamped aluminium bodywork. Ferrari remains tight-lipped about the engine, indicating the retains the already immensely powerful naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine making 789 Hp and 530 lb-ft torque. There are no details about how much this running work of art costs, though it is safe to be to assume it was a significant premium over the $340,000 price tag of the base Superfast.
