20 Best Performance Cars You Can Rob a Bank With

4. Mercedes CLA 45 AMG

The Mercedes CLA 45 is a compact executive sedan with an angry 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive. This combination, along with 381 HP, means it produces astonishing acceleration times and brutal driving dynamics.

The small dimensions along with composed handling and sublime performance make this compact sedan the perfect getaway car for bank robbers and similar characters.

3. Dodge Challenger Hellcat

The Challenger Hellcat is the ultimate getaway car. This is due to the fact it is one of the most powerful cars Detroit has ever made. And it is still easy to drive.

It’s only when you press the throttle and unleash the fury of those 707 supercharged horses will you feel the brutality of the Hellcat package and power going to the rear wheels. The 0 to 60 mph times are in high three-second range and the car can top 200 mph.

2. Cadillac ATS-V

Cadillac introduced the ATS-V in 2016 as the newest American muscle four-door car. And the ATS-V is compact but immensely powerful. With this model, Cadillac attacked the likes of the Mercedes C Class and BMW 3 Series with a modern executive sedan bringing recognizable styling and brutal power.

Under the hood is the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine with 464 HP and 445 lb-ft of torque. This is enough to launch the ATS-V from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and top the speed of an astonishing 189 mph. Despite the fact that the ATS-V doesn’t have a V8, it is still a proper muscle car and precision machine available in two-door form, as well.

1. Ford Taurus SHO

With a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers 365 HP to all four wheels over its six-speed automatic transmission, the Taurus SHO is capable of convincing performance and high top speeds.
