When it comes to the who's who of supercars Marrussia is unlikely to make the list. Only the most obsessed car fans know of the Russian exotic car maker which has now sold out of its latest creation - the B2. Along with the spiderish looks comes a 3.5-liter V6 spinning 300-420 hp depending on customer specifications. That is enough propel the 2,425-lb car to 60 mph in about 3.2 seconds.
Check out the gallery of Marussia's B1 and B2 supercars.
I found 14 cars with at least 600 horsepower available in the U.S. for 2012. Check them out in the gallery. Got a favorite?

The Geneva Motor Show has kicked off and you can see tons of photos in my preview gallery. One of the most interesting appearances will be the Aston Martin V12 Zagato which makes noise that sounds so wrong feel so good.
There is an impressive arsenal of hardware from the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini, and some even more exotic -like the Alfa Romeo based Carrozzeria pictured above. Greener motoring will also be a big theme in this years show with more hybrids and electric vehicles.
The diminutive Fiat 500 Abarth has a punchy little1.4L turbo four cylinder that makes 160 HP and 170 Lb-ft. Able to scoot from zero to 60 MPH in 7.4 seconds, the Abarth is a bad boy among tiny hatches.
Apparently, Fiat decided to inject some tiger blood courtesy of Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen in this video spot titled "House Arrest."

This is about as close a Honda CR-V will ever get to being a Ferrari.
The world's smallest car is being resurrected. A group of United Kingdom businessmen are reviving the Peel brand known for making the diminutive P50 and Trident models with a 21st century spin. -Photo Gallery-
The three wheeled Peel P50 measures just 54-inches long and 41-inches wide and holds the title from the Guinness Book of Records as the worlds smallest production car. The P50's first run went from 1962 to 1965.
Available at launch will be the P50 GAS. The miserly 49cc two-stroke gasoline engine making a mower-like 3.35 horsepower returns a claimed 210 mpg.
Two optional electric motors will also be available: the FUN models spin out 1.6 horsepower with 2.5 pound-feet, and the ECO model churns 4 horsepower with 16.8 pound-feet. Both have a 50 mile range.
The GAS and ECO versions are limited to a 28 mph top speed. The FUN model, well, won't come close to that.
Prices start just shy of around $11,000.
Here's a trailer to season 18.
