Import Your Dream Car from the 2000s, 2010s, or 2020s?
Searching for your dream car from the 2000s, 2010s, or 2020s? Let us help you bring it home. The U.S. market covers it all. Sports car enthusiasts can choose from models like the Ferrari 458, Porsche 911 (997), Chevrolet Corvette C8, Audi R8, or Nissan GT-R.

Or maybe U.S.-spec BMW M-series, Mercedes-AMG, Aston Martin, and Jaguar models – often with unique options and low mileage.
Many of these vehicles come at more competitive prices compared to international markets, and the U.S. system makes it relatively easy to verify condition and service history.
At US Car-Import, we specialize in helping private buyers import cars from the U.S. to Europe, Australia, and the Middle East, guiding you through the entire process – from car search and inspection to price negotiation with the seller, customs clearance and shipping.

Chevrolet Camaro (Sixth Generation)
The Chevrolet Camaro has been an icon of American muscle ever since the first generation hit the streets back in the fall of 1966.
The sixth-generation Camaro was unveiled in May 2015, with sales beginning later that year for the 2016 model year.
Built on GM’s Alpha platform – shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS – the new Camaro features a refined suspension setup, including MacPherson struts at the front, replacing the previous multi-link configuration. According to General Motors, approximately 70% of the platform’s components are unique to the Camaro.
A notable change with the sixth generation was the return of production to the United States, after the fourth and fifth generations were assembled in Canada.
As with its predecessor, the sixth-generation Camaro was offered in both coupé and convertible body styles.
Production of the sixth-generation Camaro concluded in December 2023.

Ferrari 458
The Ferrari 458 was officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, marking a significant evolution in Ferrari’s lineup of mid-engine sports cars. Known for its breathtaking design and exceptional performance.
At the heart of the 458 is a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 engine that delivers 570 horsepower (570 PS). The Ferrari 458 was the first mid-engine Ferrari road car to feature direct fuel injection, enhancing both performance and efficiency.
The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 325 km/h (202 mph). These figures, combined with its precision handling, place the 458 firmly among the elite in its class.
Underpinning the 458’s dynamic capabilities is a sophisticated chassis featuring double wishbone suspension at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear. Advanced systems like Ferrari’s E-Diff electronic differential and F1-Trac traction control work together to improve cornering performance and longitudinal acceleration by up to 32% compared to previous models.
In 2015, production of the 458 ended, and it was succeeded by the Ferrari 488 GTB.

Chevrolet Corvette C8
When the Chevrolet Corvette C8 launched in 2020, it didn’t just continue a legacy—it reinvented it. For the first time since the Corvette nameplate was introduced in 1953, the engine was moved behind the driver, transforming the C8 into a true mid-engine supercar. Production began in February 2020, ushering in a bold new era.
Under the hood—now in the rear—is a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing up to 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque with the Z51 Performance Package. With its lightning-quick 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the C8 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.
But the C8 is more than just performance—it’s presence. Its sculpted bodywork, wide stance, and exotic lines make an immediate visual impact. Inside, the cabin is a major upgrade, featuring premium materials, a wraparound driver’s layout, and state-of-the-art digital displays that bring race-day energy to the road.
Striking a rare balance between track-ready engineering and real-world drivability, the Corvette C8 is more than a milestone—it’s a statement.

Porsche 911 (997)
The Porsche 911 (997) represents the sixth generation of the legendary 911 series and was produced from 2004 to 2012. Widely regarded as a return to form after the divisive 996, the 997 combined classic 911 styling cues with modern engineering advancements, making it one of the most beloved iterations of the model.
The 997 was offered in a broad range of variants, including Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa, Turbo, GT3, and GT2, along with numerous special editions such as the Sport Classic and the GT3 RS 4.0. Buyers could choose between rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, as well as between manual and automatic transmissions—initially the Tiptronic S and later Porsche’s advanced 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox introduced in the facelifted 997.2 models (2009–2012).
Engine options ranged from a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six in base models to a 4.0-liter unit in the limited GT3 RS 4.0. The Turbo and GT2 variants featured twin-turbocharged engines, delivering supercar-level performance with power outputs exceeding 500 horsepower in later versions.
Technological advancements were a key focus, with systems like Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) improving handling, ride comfort, and safety. The 997 also saw upgrades in interior quality, infotainment, and refinement, particularly in the 997.2 refresh.
Blending everyday usability with thrilling performance, the 997-generation 911 remains a benchmark in Porsche’s history—and a favorite among enthusiasts and collectors.

Dodge Viper (second and third generations – 2003–2010, 2013–2017)
The Dodge Viper is an iconic American high-performance sports car known for its raw power, aggressive styling, and uncompromising driving experience. Inspired by the Shelby Cobra, the Viper was never intended to offer luxury—it prioritized performance and visceral appeal above all else.
The second generation (ZB I & ZB II) was produced from 2003 to 2010, with a short production pause in 2007, and introduced several refinements over the original. The Viper retained its naturally aspirated V10 engine, starting at 8.3 liters in the early years and growing to 8.4 liters in later models, producing up to 600 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque in the Viper SRT-10 and ACR variants. It delivered blistering acceleration, with 0–60 mph times as quick as 3.5 seconds, and top speeds exceeding 200 mph depending on the model.
After a brief hiatus, the third generation (VX I) returned in 2013, now branded under Dodge’s SRT (Street and Racing Technology) performance division. While the Viper retained its signature front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and massive 8.4L V10, it benefited from modern updates including improved aerodynamics, stability control, a more refined interior, and revised suspension tuning. The engine now produced up to 645 horsepower, making the VX-generation Viper one of the most powerful naturally aspirated production cars ever built.
Throughout its lifetime, the Viper was offered in multiple trims, including GTS, TA (Time Attack), and ACR (American Club Racer)—the latter achieving legendary status for its track performance and setting lap records at several major circuits.
Production officially ended in 2017, concluding a 26-year legacy with just over 32,000 units produced. The Dodge Viper remains a symbol of American muscle and mechanical purity, beloved for its unapologetic character and race-bred spirit.
