The 2014 model year ushers in some very exciting new cars, from ultra-efficient subcompacts, such as the new Nissan Versa Note, to the latest hypercar from Porsche, the 918 Spyder.

And those are just a few of the many significant highlights. Click through to see some of the most groundbreaking cars of the 2014 model year that are at dealers now or rolling into showrooms soon.
Ferrari
THE most powerful naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari ever has blasted into Australia, but don’t expect to see too many 458 Speciales lingering in showrooms, with half of the allocation already sold out.
Local pricing for the 458 Speciale starts from $550,000 excluding on-road costs, placing it right in the middle of its two siblings – the 458 Italia coupe that costs $525,417 and the 458 Spider priced at $588,451
Nissan slashes 370Z sportscar
NISSAN Australia has slashed almost $13,000 from the price of its 3Z0 Coupe and $11,000 from the Roadster version in a bid to improve slowing sales of the sportscar range.
With the offer applying to December 31, the entry Z coupe now carries a national driveaway price of $59,990 – well below the previous recommended retail price of $69,890, which did not include on-road costs such as dealer delivery and statutory charges.
