The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon arrived at the New York Show doing a burnout. It’s powered by an 840-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine, so powerful, the car can do wheelies.

Not to be left behind in the ridic stakes, Jeep used a dynamometer to introduce the 2018 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Apparently the most powerful and quickest SUV ever, it can do 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds, and reach a top speed of 180 mph.
Daimler AG03Mercedes-522743--DSC8621-tn.jpg
America doesn't have a monopoly on muscle: Mercedes is flexing too. It showed the AMG CLG 63, with a twin turbo 4.0 liter V8. As well as a regular SUV, it comes as a coupe and an "S-Coupe," with even more go-faster bits.
Toyota Motor Corporation04521203-Toyota-FT4x-Concept-5-DEFA25D83C0618320A23970054A1A98C9597B201.jpg
Toyota knows you won't really take its FT-4X Concept crossover off-roading. Instead, it suggests 'casualcore' outings, whatever that means.
Hyundai Motor Company05Hyundai-Genesis-concept523817--DSC8927-tn.jpg
The Genesis (don't call it a Hyundai) GV80 Concept is another SUV for the road. It's designed around a hydrogen fuel cell, for the urban explorer who doesn't know there's no hydrogen fuel infrastructure.
Sam VarnHagen062018-LINCOLN-NAVIGATOR-SKV-1224.jpg
The Lincoln Navigator gets a fresh new look for 2018, but it'll still be one of the most dominant looking vehicles on the school run. Plus there's wifi and wireless charging inside to keep the kids happy.
Buick072018-Buick-Enclave-Avenir-009.jpg
Buick made the new Enclave lower and sleeker, but kept the SUV DNA. The vehicle is among the brand's most important sellers, so it's vital the refresh is well received.
Volkswagen of America, Inc.08VW-2018-atlas-6992.jpg
VW's Atlas is the largest vehicle the automaker sells in the US. Based on the CrossBlue concept shown in 2013, it's blocky and muscular. VW says it's streamlined though, with a coefficient of drag of just 0.34.
Buick092018-Buick-Regal-TourX-016.jpg
Rejoice wagon fans! Here's one that's not dressed up as an SUV. The Buick Regal TourX has some of the same design elements as Buick's gorgeous Avista concept.
Mike Ditz10519959-Rogue-Dogue-project-18.jpg
For Nissan, the New York show wasn't about the SUV itself, but what you put in it. The Rogue Dogue offers your K9 a ramp to the ground, doggy hairdryer, and built-in poop bag dispenser.
Ford Motor Company11Fusion-Hybrid-Responder-03-4x3-1.jpg
Bank robbers might pick a new muscle car, but cops will be right behind them in Ford's Police Responder Hybrid Sedan, the first pursuit-rated hybrid. Or they could just wait for the big-engined bad guys to burn through their gas.
Cadillac12Cadillac-FA-1.jpg
Cadillac finally took the wraps of its hotly anticipated Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. Arriving this summer in the CT6 sedan, it uses a camera on the steering wheel to keep an eye on the driver—no reading the newspaper on the freeway in this car.
Lucid Motors13LUCIDMOTORS-AIR-PALM-SPRINGS-06.jpg
Not to be left out, electric car startup Lucid Motors picked New York for its global auto show debut. The Tesla wannabe showed crowds its "speed car test" which it used to test stability at speeds up to an impressive 217mph.
