2013 looks set to be a fantastic year for new cars.
Here are 10 exciting models due in showrooms this year.
Alfa Romeo 4C
The beautiful 4C will be powered by a mid-mounted, 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
With a kerb weight of less than 1,000kg thanks to the use of carbon-fibre in its construction, performance should be excellent.
Price: Approx £45,000
Launch date: Autumn
Porsche 918 Spyder
By combining a race-bred 4.6-litre V8 petrol engine with pair of electric motors, Porsche has created a supercar that can travel from 0-62mph in 3.2sec and yet still return 94mpg in EU Combined tests.
Other astonishing figures include a 199mph top speed and CO2 emissions (again on the EU Combined cycle) of 70g/km.
Price: £624,000
Launch date: September
Renaultsport Clio
A five-door body housing a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine and paddleshift gearbox mark a new era of Clio hot hatches.
You can also expect a launch control system and handling tuned by Renaultsport's experts, who have an excellent track record.
Price: Approx £18,000
Launch date: May
