The 2024 MIAS just concluded and had tons of cars on display in all shapes, sizes, and battery packs! But some of them stood out and drew massive crowds worthy of your attention

Using a metal cutter on one of the most expensive and iconic cars of all time is a cardinal sin, except when you are in Japan. The Countach above is full of eye-searing details that may not be to everyone’s taste but that blinding all-white interior and those 10-foot exhaust tips turn heads wherever it goes.
1065 horsepower. That number alone is why many Revuelto and SF90 owners are having nightmares about the absolute insanity from GM. The ZR1 has yet to reach the dealership but it looks like pre-bookings have already started. The midnight blue example here looks particularly stunning but I am not sure removing the roof off a 200 MPH+ car is a good idea.
Wrapped in a baby pink color the GT4RS from the aftermarket wheel company is tastefully done despite the questionable color choice. The 493 hp-9000 RPM Cayman GT4RS is the definition of sibling rivalry as it has been lauded as the peak Porsche, a sentiment previously only reserved for the 911 GT3RS.
Rolls Royce and electric propulsion are a match made in heaven. The inherent zero RPM swathes of torque and whisper-quiet operation of electric motors are perfect for an ultra-luxury cruiser made to isolate its occupants from NVH and peasants. The Spectre shown in the 2024 Miami Auto Show was provided by Braman Motors and has a stunning red interior with a grey exterior.
The Blackwings have proven themselves as the ultimate driver cars thanks to a fantastic and endangered combination of RWD, a 6-speed gearbox, and a whistlin’ 668 hp 6.2 Liter Supercharged engine. The white example shown here had an MSRP of just over 100 Grand, a worthy investment for sure.
Aside from bringing out the latest Nissan Z Nismo edition, Nissan made a splash by giving us a peek at legendary Z-badged cars like the 300 ZX and Datsun 240Z. The 300 ZX in the dark blue example shown here has a 300-hp twin-turbocharged V6 under the hood. The iconic Datsun in a sharp green dress introduced the world to what lightweight Japanese motoring was all about.
Perhaps one of the most ambitious gambles in the car industry was undertaken by Dodge CEO as he unveiled the all-electric version of the Dodge Challenger, the Daytona EV. No one liked it upon its launch due to the Daytona EV's uninspiring styling and super fake “Fratzonic” exhaust. The same could be said about the BMW M2 which when launched was touted to be a big fail due to its 4000 pound curb weight, but has proven to be quite capable since then. We hope Daytona can do the same and tbh it does look quite good in person.
The 442 is an often-overlooked classic muscle thanks to neverending hordes of overrated Chevelle and Shelby fans. The 4-4-2 is the acronym for four-barrel carbs, four-speed manual trans, and dual exit exhausts the 442 came standard with. The Red with white stripes example shown here was immaculately detailed and was parked next to a gold-painted GTO
The OWL is the most powerful Japanese production car on sale with 1,953Hp. It recently became the fastest EV in the world with a top speed of 272.61 MPH. The white-on-white example shown at the 2024 Miami Auto Show looked stunning from every angle and looked rather subtle next to the All-electric APEX AP-0
Another day another EV startup. It's becoming so hard to keep track of them as dozens are popping up every year. The APEX is a British company that recently debuted its track social supercar with 650 hp. I mean even an IONIQ 5 has this much power so it’s nothing special but when you combine that amount of power with a 2600-pound curbweight, push-rod suspension system, auto height adjustment, and a Level 4 autonomy things get quite interesting. Apex claims it can do 0–62mp in 2.3 seconds and a has a top speed of 190mph.
