Best Cars Of 2016 – The Greatest Cars In The World This Year

There have been some magnificent cars launched in the last few years and 2016 was no different. First up let’s talk about the Veyron replacement, the Bugatti Chiron. At the world premiere Bugatti president Wolfgang Dürheimer declared “With the Chiron, we will make the best significantly better.” Never a company to do things by half-measure, expectations for Bugatti’s world-beating hypercar were astronomical – but how do you follow up the fastest, most prestigious production car ever made?

OK, as we said this was not an easy one. The R8 V10 Plus is staggeringly competent, but those looks, while impressive, just fail to inspire or tug at the heartstrings. It makes our list however because for some people you need a car that does it all supremely well without all the fanfare. The NSX, too, is a technical masterpiece but somehow lacking in the childhood-poster, car-of-your-dreams stakes yet if you had to choose a supercar to drive everyday and then hammer on weekends, its a touch car to look past.
