To qualify for our best sports cars of the 2010s<\/strong>, a car had to be under the ~$150k mark when new and had to be launched as a 2010 to 2019 model year vehicle. We do have some cars that snuck in above the $150k mark but we felt they belonged here rather than our best supercar list. The 2010s MY requirement means we left off 2020 models like the 718 Cayman GT<\/a>4, Boxster Spyder<\/a> and 2020 mid-engined Corvette<\/a>. <\/p>\n We were flexible in defining what makes a sports and performance car. For example, the Tesla 3 and Tesla P100D both made this list and may seem controversial, but these are both cars that redefined what an electric car performed like and they catapult from 0 – 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. If you can include the 840 bhp rear wheel drive Dodge Demon then you can include two electric sedans that destroy it performance-wise. <\/p>\n As always, you will notice that there are a lot of BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-AMG cars below. The reality is that those companies continue to build the best sports and performance cars in the world and over the last decade they cranked out some epic cars. Porsche has the most cars on this list and it is no surprise with gems like the Cayman GT4, 911 GT3 Touring, Cayman R and GT3 RS all captivating us over the last decade. <\/p>\n There are some cars on here that objectively don’t belong based on their performance and reviews. Cars that come to mind at the Alfa Romeo 4C, Maserati MC Stradale and the new Toyota Supra. We included them because they are still desirable even though they aren’t perfect and as car guys that counts. The MC Stradale is sexy, fast and Italian exotica at its best while the 4C shows that Alfa Romeo can still do gorgeous and sporty small cars really well. The Supra, well it is a Toyota Supra so how do we leave it off a list like this. <\/p>\n Sit back and enjoy our list of the best sports cars and performance vehicles of the 2010s. <\/p>\n Related: Best 2010s supercars<\/a> \/ Sexiest 2010s cars<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Absolutely perfect <\/strong><\/p>\n In 2015, Porsche announced the car the supercar community thought they would never build. It was the first time Porsche allowed its Porsche Motorsport division in Weissach to sprinkle some magic on a production Cayman since the mid-engine sports car\u2019s introduction ten years previously. They did not let us down. With components sourced from the 911 GT3, an engine carried over from a Carrera S and a tweaked and tuned chassis, brakes and aerodynamics, Porsche\u2019s engineers did their best to produce the perfect mid-engine sports car for road and track use. The GT4\u2019s 3.8-litre flat-six engine produces 385 hp (283 kW) and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with dynamic gearbox mounts and harder settings optimize the handling of the Cayman for a more dynamic driving experience. Compared with the standard Cayman, the GT4\u2019s chassis was lowered by 30mm and bigger brakes were added, with many aspects of its suspension carried over from the 911 GT3. Make no mistake; this is some serious motorsport kit. Learn more\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n Perfect track day weapon<\/strong><\/p>\n Delivering even more engine power, lower weight and shorter transmission ratios, as well as upgraded body and suspension components than all previous GT3s, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS sets the foundation for homologating the race version of the 911 GT3. Like the engine featured in the 911 GT3, the naturally-aspirated RS power unit now displaces 3.8 liters and delivers even more power, while revving up even faster to its 8500 rpm redline. It now delivers 450 horsepower, 15 more horsepower than its 911 GT3 counterpart. Even with a specific output of more than 118 hp per liter from the six-cylinder boxer engine, the power unit in the new GT3 RS remains fully suitable for everyday use.

A fantastic mid-size sports car with all-aluminum construction and a 4.0-liter engine capable of 510 bhp. The GT was the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. Its front mid-engine concept with transaxle and the intelligent aluminium lightweight construction form the basis for a highly dynamic driving experience. Its likewise newly developed AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine underscores the hallmark AMG driving performance. The first sports car engine with internally mounted turbochargers (\u2018hot inside V\u2019) and dry sump lubrication is configured in two output ratings: as a GT with 340 kW (462 hp) and as a GT S with 375 kW (510 hp). The new GT combines driving dynamics and first-class racetrack performance with superb everyday practicality, and efficiency that sets new standards in the segment. Top figures such as 3.8 seconds from zero to 100 km\/h and a top speed of 310 km\/h, combined with the outstanding driving dynamics will undoubtedly translate into extremely fast laps on the racetrack.

It is desirable, sexy and exotic and it is pretty good to drive. It is the fastest, lightest and most powerful car in the Maserati range when it goes on sale in the first quarter of 2011. Inspired by the Trofeo GranTurismo MC and the race-winning GT4 motorsport models, the two-seater Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale that will debut at the Paris Auto Show will feature razor-sharp handling and will break the 300km\/h barrier.

Four years after that show car debuted, it made a nearly edit-free transition to production as the LC coupe, reaching Lexus dealerships as a car people could actually buy. It\u2019s easy to miss the LC\u2019s classic grand tourer shape behind the eye-catching hourglass-shaped grille, squinting headlights, spectacular rear fenders, and \u201cfloating\u201d roof. Minimalist the Lexus\u2019s design is not, but we think its sci-fi detailing adds to the car\u2019s beauty, not subtracts from it.<\/p>\n Goes like an absolute beast. Looks beastly too. <\/strong><\/p>\n Spectacular design, technology transfer from the world of motorsport and driving dynamics at the highest level; the new Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coup\u00e9 Black Series embodies the new AMG brand claim, Driving Performance, like no other AMG model. The new high-performance vehicle is the most powerful C-Class of all time, boasting a maximum output of 380 kW (517 hp) and a maximum torque of 620 newton metres. The AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine impresses with its hefty torque, tremendous pulling power and responsiveness, and ensures high-calibre performance: the C 63 AMG Coup\u00e9 Black Series accelerates from zero to 100 km\/h in 4.2 seconds (all data provisional).

A Future Classic<\/strong><\/p>\n Built to homologate the 2011 GT3 RSR racecar, the RS 4.0 is fitted with the 3996 cc engine which raises power output from roughly 444 to 500 bhp. It is easily identified by its new wings and front winglets just ahead of the front wheels. The new model purveys thoroughbred motorsport technology to its innermost core. The flat engine\u2019s crankshaft has been lifted unchanged from the 911 GT3 RSR racing car\u2019s six cylinder engine and the forged pistons\u2019 connecting rods are fashioned from titanium. The four-litre displacement sports engine, the biggest 911 model line engine ever, is also the most powerful naturally aspirated engine with 125 hp\/litre (92 kW). It achieves its maximum power of 368 kW (500 hp) at 8,250 revs per minute. The engine delivers its maximum torque of 460 Newton metres at 5,750 rpm.

We love the Exige Cup 430, Lotus\u2019 wildest incarnation of its fire-breathing, point-to-point two-seater Exige and it was going to be our choice, BUT then we tested the Exige Sport 410 and it is a better car. It slots between the extreme Exige Cup 430 and the entry level Exige Sport 350. The Exige Sport 410 is the pick of the bunch. The Lotus Exige Sport 410 boasts a recalibrated version of the ubiquitous supercharged Toyota 3.5L V6 engine. Class-leading power to weight ratio of 389 hp\/tonne comes from being the lightest V6 Exige ever. Available in both coupe and roadster configurations. The Exige 410 is all about being driven. It is small and light with an incredibly mechanical setup, communicating its surroundings in a way only a Lotus can and involving the driver like no other car on the planet. It really is that good.

For the first time with a series production car, Jaguar gains entry to the exclusive \u2018300kph club\u2019 thanks to the effortless performance of the supercharged 5.0-litre AJ-V8 engine. A revised fuelling map means the direct-injection powerplant now produces 550PS and 680Nm of torque. Extensive recalibration has ensured that power delivery and performance are seamless, contributing to a 0-60mph time of 4.2 seconds. The Performance active exhaust encourages and rewards the enthusiastic driver with dramatic, motorsport-inspired aural feedback.

Later, in 2005, another model was introduced and took the automotive world by storm, but with the Vantage getting yet another revamp for 2018, can it truly live up to the hype? Visit the Aston Martin website and click through to the beautifully designed page for the New Vantage<\/a>, and you\u2019ll be greeted by an image of a wolf \u2013 an appropriate image, in our opinion. This model comes with a high powered 4.0 liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, giving the hefty roar that Aston Martin is so famous for. This agile, dynamic car is everything you need for race tracks and country roads alike, and with a stylish yet extremely functional and immersive interior, you won\u2019t find a more comfortable drive. Learn more\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n Constant improvements lead to the perfect Evora<\/strong><\/p>\n Road & Trac<\/a>k nailed it when they said \u201cthis is what nine years of improvement looks like<\/em>\u201c. We always loved the Evora<\/a> but deep down it always a little flawed, a little behind cars like the Porsche Cayman and 911. That is until now. The current Evora GT has nailed the formula and is easily the best Evora yet<\/a> and even made our best Lotus ever<\/a> list. The Evora GT is made specifically for the North American market and the good news is that it is a current Lotus model<\/a> so you can walk into your local Lotus dealer and get your hands on the most powerful street-legal Lotus available right now. The Evora GT features either a two-seat or a 2+2 seat arrangement. It also comes with a 3.5-liter supercharged six-cylinder engine that puts out 416 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. That engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission (only a masochist would buy the automatic in this car). This powertrain makes for a 0-60 mph time of just 3.8 seconds. The car\u2019s top speed? It\u2019s 188 mph. In terms of chassis and suspension, it is typical Lotus awesomeness. Steering is hydraulically boosted and delivers magical feedback and feel, the car goes wherever you point it, every single time.

Production of the Roadster came three years into V12 Vantage production. Aston Martin is lifting the lid on an extreme new sports car with the global debut of the V12 Vantage Roadster. The new sports car, available as a limited edition in selected markets worldwide, immediately becomes the most potent example of the open-top Vantage range and mixes the breath-taking power of Aston Martin\u2019s naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 engine with the established thrills of Vantage Roadster driving for what is an unforgettable sports car experience. The V12 Vantage Roadster 6.0-litre engine, mated as in the Coupe to a six-speed manual gearbox, generates 517 PS at 6,500 rpm and a muscular 570 Nm of torque at 5,750 rpm. It has been intelligently packaged into the Vantage Roadster\u2019s compact form to fully exploit the sports-orientated model\u2019s ample natural agility.

A newly-engineered, two-litre supercharged Ford Duratec engine pumps out 310bhp, providing even more of a kick in the back for the driver and propelling the Seven 620R from 0-60 mph in under 2.8 seconds. Learn more\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n I’ll take my rear drive and manual please<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2017 (991.2) Porsche 911 Carrera GTS might possibly be the perfect everyday Porsche 911 equipped with a faster new turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six engine, but we are going a little further back to pick our favorite regular (non-GT) 911. The 991.1 GTS wins our vote because it is the last naturally aspirated regular 911 and that means something. Four models \u2013 a coupe and a cabriolet, each with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive \u2013 close the gap between the 911 Carrera S and the street-legal sports car optimised for the race track, the 911 GT3. Some of the technical ingredients that generate even more driving dynamics and driving fun: 430 hp (316 kW) power, the Sport Chrono package and the PASM active damper system which lowers the car\u2019s ride height by ten millimetres. Improved efficiency has also led to quicker accelerations and higher top speeds, but combined fuel consumption figures remain unchanged at the favourable level of the S models. When combined with the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK), the 911 Carrera GTS sprints from zero to 100 km\/h in 4.0 seconds (Cabriolet: 4.2 seconds). The top speed of each GTS model is beyond the 300 km\/h barrier; the fastest at 306 km\/h is the Coupe with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.

Its heart is the 427-cubic-inch (7.0L) LS7 engine from the Corvette Z06. Rated at 505 horsepower (377 kW) and 470 lb.-ft. of torque (637 Nm), it is the most powerful engine ever installed in a production Corvette convertible \u2013 and, like the Z06, the 427 Convertible is only available with a six-speed manual transmission. The LS7 was co-developed with the Corvette Le Mans-winning GT1 engine and features lightweight titanium connecting rods and intake valves, as well as racing-inspired high-flow cylinder heads and a dry-sump oiling system. It is assembled by hand at GM\u2019s Performance Build Center, where customers who purchase the 427 Convertible Collector Edition can purchase the Corvette Build Experience option and assemble the engine that will power their new car.

For improved cooling on track days, the covers can be easily removed with a screwdriver. The powerful Boss engine yields 444 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque, while still offering a smooth idle and low-end torque for comfortable around-town driving. A race-inspired clutch with upgraded friction materials transmits power, while a short-throw, close-ratio six-speed manual handles gear change duties. Power is delivered to a 3.73-ratio rear axle using carbon fiber plates in the limited-slip differential to improve handling and longevity. For those who want even more precise control over power delivery, a torque-sensing (Torsen) limited-slip differential is available, coupled with Recaro front seats.

The BMW i8 embodies hallmark BMW driving pleasure in a revolutionary and mould-breaking form. This is reflected in a highly emotive design, dynamic sports car performance, and fuel consumption and emissions figures worthy of a small car. Pairing an exceptionally lightweight, aerodynamically optimised body with cutting-edge BMW eDrive technology, a compact, highly turbocharged 1.5-litre BMW TwinPower Turbo petrol engine and intelligent energy management, the BMW i8 marks the next stage in the evolution of the Efficient Dynamics strategy. Its revolutionary approach achieves an unprecedented balance between performance and fuel consumption. Thanks to its carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell, the BMW i8 sets new standards for a plug-in hybrid vehicle in terms of low weight. It can operate solely on electric power, which means no tailpipe emissions, and offers the dynamic performance of a sports car, with an expected 0 \u2013100 km\/h (62 mph) sprint time of 4.5 seconds.

It matches the Focus RS on practicality and, thanks to the marque\u2019s motorsport heritage and Italian bloodline, meets the 675LT in the desirability stakes. And it does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, tops out at 190mph \u2013 proper supercar performance figures. Learn more\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n Most potent F-type so far<\/strong><\/p>\n At the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016, Jaguar unveiled the F-Type SVR. Available in both coup\u00e9 and convertible body styles along with having all-wheel-drive, it features the same 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine from the V8 S and R, but has a maximum power output of 575 PS (567 hp; 423 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 700 N\u22c5m (516 lb\u22c5ft) of torque at 3,500-5,000 rpm, the car can accelerate from 0\u2013100 km\/h (0\u201362 mph) in 3.5 seconds and to can attain a top speed of 322 km\/h (200 mph), making it the first Jaguar road car since the XJ220 to reach 322 km\/h (200 mph). The SVR convertible can attain a top speed of 312 km\/h (194 mph). <\/p>\n 604 bhp and 627 lb ft of torque for the kids school run<\/strong><\/p>\n On the outside, it is refined and crisp, like a very expensive, sensible suit, a much more mature proposition than the Charger\u2019s wayward ways. Push the right buttons though, and the 4-litre biturbo V8 can sing and dance with the best of them. In glorious S iteration, power is up to 604bhp and 627 lb ft of torque, meaning this 4-door saloon will hit 62mph from a standstill in 3.4 seconds \u2013 proper supercar territory. Intelligent 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive means it\u2019ll hang on in the corners too, though at the touch of a button this juggernaut will oblige all your maniacal, tyre-shredding fantasies thanks to a drift mode setting that sends all the power through the back wheels.

This version of the Model S is notable for being the first electric vehicle to have an EPA estimated range greater than 300 miles (485 km) and for being the fastest accelerating vehicle currently in production, with a 0\u201360 mph (0\u201397 km\/h) time of 2.5 seconds, when optioned with ludicrous mode.<\/p>\n A manual GT3. I\u2019m done<\/strong><\/p>\n Porsche unveiled the facelifted 991.2 GT3 at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show (as a 2018 model year). Extensive changes were made to the engine allowing for a 9,000 rpm redline from the 4.0 litre flat-six engine. Porsche\u2019s focus was on reducing internal friction to improve throttle response. Compared to the 991.1, the rear spoiler is higher and located farther back to be more effective. There is a new front spoiler and changes to the rear suspension. The 991.2 GT3 brought back the choice between a manual transmission or a PDK dual clutch transmission. Following the roots of the 2016 911R, a touring version of the GT3 was introduced that removes the rear wing and replaces it with the rear spoiler from the Carrera GTS to give a more smooth and flowing aesthetic image, though it extends further upwards to provide extra downforce. The Touring is only available with a manual transmission, features leather versus Alcantara, and cannot be specified with the Clubsport package available with the normal GT3.

Nissan dropped the Skyline name and added a twin-turbo V6 that put out 473 horsepower, propelling the GT-R to performance levels that could not only compete with but outclass legendary American muscle cars and German and Italian supercars. Since Overnight, the GT-R became a legend. Its technologically advanced road-grabbing all-wheel drive provided exhilarating handling, and it was all wrapped up in a sleek, yet muscular, modern exterior design. Since this is a post about the best cars of the 2010s, we had to pick our favorite GT-R from the decade. The 2017 GT-R represents the most significant changes to R35 since the model was introduced in 2008. New styling, new features, more power and performance, more comfort and more sophistication are the focus of the model\u2019s numerous updates. The new Nissan GT-R has an exciting new look both inside and out, as well as major driving performance enhancements in key areas, including a revised chassis and more power from its twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre 24-valve V6 engine. The new GT-R is also more comfortable than ever before, with a more sophisticated and premium quality interior.

For whatever reason, media pundits can\u2019t bring themselves to admit that Elon Musk might be onto something with his electric cars. But the Model 3 is a lot more that just a new, cheaper sedan for Tesla. It\u2019s probably the most important car in the history of the world, both for general car users as well as car enthusiasts. The reasons for this are many. But let\u2019s just take acceleration for instance. For decades, the average working man has dreamed of owning a car that\u2019s able to rocket him from 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. If you wanted a car with that kind of performance, you either had to go with something outrageous, like a Nissan GTR or you had to remortgage your house.
