Sports Cars

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class of midsized cars is an unusual case of what happens when a carmaker does both road-going (touring-class) and sports models really well. We had the chance to drive examples of both, for a week each.

Potential buyers for the Porsche Taycan electric sports car may have balked at its US$103,800 starting price, but need no longer worry. The automaker has introduced a new Taycan entry-level model priced just below $80,000.

The new Corvette was an instant blockbuster. The redesign, which made it a mid-engined sports car to compete with high-end supercars, was a jaw-dropper, as was the retention of the relative affordability the Corvette has always been known for.

Subaru has taken the wraps off its all-new BRZ sports car, continuing the purists’ fun box into a new generation. The BRZ has an all-new design, a new engine with a bit more muscle, and retains the rear-drive formula that has made the car doggedly popular.

Hyundai's newly unveiled RM20e prototype is both a cutting-edge electrified race car and a harbinger of things to come, with the automaker looking to make sustainable drivetrains a common theme of its pursuits in the high-performance arena.

The bright-eyed yellow canary sitting before you is the all-new Nissan Z Proto, an early look at what Nissan's cooking up with the 7th-gen Z. Nissan has moved in a retro direction with the Z design, folding in inspiration from past Z models.

Porsche is pushing forward with its 911 turbocharging campaign of 2020. Following up on the Turbo S debut in April, it has dialed things back just a little with a base Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet that deliver supercar-grade acceleration for less price.

That's 2 g, as in you can wrench the steering wheel sideways at speed and the new D8 GTO JD70 will grip the road so hard it'll smoosh your face against the side windows with twice the force of gravity. It's also the most powerful Donker ever made.

BMW has sharpened up its 4-series sports coupé in line with the "grille-o-rama" Concept 4 we saw last year, giving it the biggest set of nostrils since Chief Wiggum. But can anyone tell us where to find the spectacular road in these photos?

The Polaris Slingshot is half car, half motorcycle with a sort of Batmobile-esque design. Sporting a completely new motor and auto transmission for 2020, it's likely the most fun you can have without resorting to a straight up two-wheeler.

Having made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed back in 2018, the very first production version of the Nissan GT-R 50 has arrived, with only 50 of the supercars to be hand-built and a million-dollar price tag to go with them.

The order books are open for the new Legend 480, a V8-powered super-lightweight sportscar built by Formula One supplier and TVR lover Graham Mulholland. Named for its 480 horsepower, this tight design is as manual and visceral as today's cars get.
