2014 looks to be a great year in the automotive industry. Some really fancy and powerful cars are gearing up to make their official debut to the world.

With so many to choose from, it might be impossible to say which one’s are mostly anticipated by car fans across the globe.

Luckily for us, the clever people at CarBuzz has compiled a list of the top 5 most anticipated new car releases of 2014. Sure, it’s their opinion, but we couldn’t agree more.

First up, is the Audi RS3. Now this Audi is something else. It is even said to go head to head with the Mercedes A45 AMG. With a 2.5 liter engine and a powerful 360 horsepower, you can be sure this Audi will be on to contend with. It also slated to be one of the fastest hatchbacks on the market.

Another newbie that has popped up on our radar before, is the third generation Mini Cooper. The Mini Cooper S will still feature it’s biggest trademark – the cutesy vintage retro styling – but with more power. And more power is always a good thing.

The Mini Cooper S will have a 2 liter turbo four and produce an astonishing 189 horsepower. A lot for a little car. However, if power is your thing, you can get your hands on the John Cooper Works edition of the Cooper S, that will happily provide more than 200 horsepower.

German manufacturers BMW also have a big 2014 ahead of them. The motorhaus will be revealing their brand new M3 and M4 cars.

The new BMW’s will feature a new twin-turbo straight-six that’ll produce 430 horsepower. And new names are also thrown around. The M3 coupe will become the M4. Both of these will be more powerful and more fuel efficient – the perfect coupling.

Not next year but in 2016 Nissan plan on launching an all new GT-R. However, in 2014, they will bid farewell to the current R35. Nissan will be teaming up with Nismo and debut their GT-R Nismo.

This monster car will be fitted with Nismo aloy wheels, carbon fibre components and feature a3.8 liter V6 engine. It is expected to have a massive 570 horsepower and will go from 0 – 100 in 2 seconds. well, hello then, GT-R Nismo!

Perhaps the most anticipated (if not most thrilling) new release of 2014 will be the all new Lamborghini. The latest Lamborghini is set to replace the current Gallardo and is currently going under the beautiful name of Cabrera.

Powered by an unbelievable 5.2 liter V10 engine, the Cabrera will produce an astonishing 600 horsepower. The new leading Lambo will exclusively feature a seven speed, dual-clutch gearbox. This replaces the current e-gear automated manual gearbox or the traditional 6 speed manual.

So, if you are thinking of getting some new wheels next year, you better start saving – and choose wisely!
