If out-and-out real-world, any-condition speed is what you crave from your sports car, nothing does it better below £100,000 than Nissan’s self-identified ‘world’s fastest brick’: But then speed probably isn’t quite all you want in a modern sports car, and Delicacy and subtlety aren’t this car’s specialisms any more now than before but, compared with the increasingly digital-feeling cars launched around and about it, the The LC seems large, heavy, leaden-footed and a bit cumbersome on the road at times, so you never quite escape a feeling of ambivalence towards it. See more ideas about Hot cars, Hot girls, Hot. And remember when the world, while probably circling the drain, didn’t give the overwhelming impression that we were moments away from heading straight down the plughole?
These 12 sports car heroes fell by the wayside.
That means no more Focus ST or the raucous Ford Focus RS. The good thing is that you can import one now and the prices are very affordable. And the Duetto Spider.
Well, if you’ve not witnessed the scope of our mental gymnastics, allow us to give you a small taster.Number one: the Shamal is named after a breeze. This is absolutely insane. Not 60,000; 6,000.So how the hell are we going to explain the Shamal, which was based on the same basic architecture as one of the worst things Maserati ever did?
Oh, just 500bhp or so, which Richards says “doesn’t sound like a lot in today’s market”.

Roundedness and everyday usability are what might prevent you from adopting the 4C – those, at any rate, and the £60k price tag.Here is the definitive top 10 list of the best sports cars currently on sale, each with a compelling reason to take top spot – but only one can claim the throne…Plug-in A-Class broadens Mercedes’ extensive hybrid line-up, but will it top...Takes steps forward in cabin ambience and space, although keen drivers may...Fleet-friendly, four-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid strikes a pleasing balance...Haymarket Media Group, publishers of Autocar takes your privacy seriously. Possibly because it was murderously expensive when it was new, was then lost to the sands of time and then retrieved from obscurity by soulless speculators who then drove the price back up to that whole ‘murderously expensive’ level again.Or it could be because it looked like the kind of car that doesn’t burn petrol so much as feed on unsuspecting superminis to sustain itself. LS3 or LS7 in a lot of cases, but owner Luke Richards is a fan of the new LT series, which gains finements like direct fuel injection.Richards tries to build “as many as possible with lower horsepower unless I’m ordered by the owner to build with higher horsepower, because they don’t need it”.And what, exactly, is “lower power”? Well, the beardy road-tester types said ‘chassis’, but then they also said things like ‘tip it into a corner’ and ‘trimming the line on the throttle’, which is just gibberish.So even though the Z1 had a welded steel body with bonded plastic floor for stiffness, interchangeable plastic body panels, doors that disappear into the sills, less drag than a cancelled Mardi Gras and brilliant multi-link rear suspension, it copped flak for not travelling at the speed of your average solar flare.
What does matter is a completely home-grown straight-six engine called the Speed Six, a dry-sumped, individual-throttle-bodied beast, capable of 400bhp from four litres.
Can we pick all of the above?Here’s just a taster of what’s on offer in an SVX – a 3.3-litre, naturally aspirated flat six, full-time all-wheel-drive and… a four-speed automatic. That’s right – the 33 Stradale, one of the prettiest objects of all time, powered by a superb 2.0-litre, dry-sumped, flat-plane-crank V8 with 230bhp.OK, so the Montreal’s V8 was toned down a bit, but we’re still talking about 200bhp from the enlarged 2.6-litre V8. So that means the power-to-weight ratio rivals a supercar, the looks echo a 1950s Formula 1 car and you can still get 35mpg, even when ragging it. And the GTAm. Well, we’re probably not best-placed to give an objective assessment on that. Um, duh.The Maserati Biturbo was, by almost every definition, utter crap. We have thus far only driven the range-topping R AWD coupé, but it charmed us with its somewhat antediluvian V8 hotrod speed and noise and yet impressed with its outright handling precision and chassis composure.The F-Type has never been as usable or complete as its key rival and is now considerably less ritzy and technologically sophisticated inside.
Today, it retains a chassis and steering system that both truly deserve top billing. We can get behind that.Taking the virtues of lightweighting to their logical conclusion is the Light Car Company Rocket.
And with a wide variety of models with different specs, powertrain options, and designs, you can choose a sports car that will suit your lifestyle.
