In all, more than 180 Huracan Super Trofeos and 70 Huracan GT3 cars have been built by Lamborghini since 2015, with the Super Trofeo cars being assembled on the same production line as its road - going counterparts.

With the familiar V10 engine capable of 570 hp, the road car uses the same powerplant as the racing version.

These vehicles are not subject to the same legislation as passenger cars, and do not have to be crash tested before they can be sold for road use.

At the same time, the SUV has proved its worth as a family car, daily runner, highway cruiser and a capable off - roader also.

The nose is highlighted by the familiar five - point grille wearing the same «Mazda» logo as the production cars, while the muscular front fenders sport slender and slightly swept - back headlamps (in this case plastic covers), also very similar to the road - going models.

Alfa's road cars need to succeed in the U.S. and China, where it doesn't have nearly the same level of name recognition as its luxury competitors.

Legacy fans will be glad to know that Subaru is taking the car road racing in the Japanese Super GT series as a GT300 race car competitor, and once you have a look at the flared four door, you will never look at the new Legacy the same way again.

When the Straight Driving Assist system detects that continuous steering effort is being applied to keep the car driving along a slope, the Electric Power Steering system applies motor assist to reduce driver steering effort to the same level as is required on a flat road.

But the twin - turbo V6 remains in very much the same configuration as the road car.

Test the tech: Los Angeles road trip We happened to get the 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid in for our review the same week as the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show, so we took the car on the approximately 800 - mile round trip.

The four 4x4s we tested this year are not what we would consider the most capable 4x4s ever — there wasn't a single front locker in the bunch — but at the same time each vehicle in this test is more than just a commuter car, and some (such as our winner) are respectable off - roaders.
