Here is the definitive top 10 list of the best sports cars currently on sale. Only one can be the very best…
Sports cars remain the ultimate benchmark for any petrolhead. Originally conceived to bring the speed and excitement of racing machines to the road, sports cars have been a key pillar of the automotive industry for decades.
Today, it’s one of the most varied segments: you can have a lightweight, two-seater convertible that stays true to the original sports car recipe or a four-seater coupé with grand-touring capabilities.
While many other car classes are navigating the shift towards electrification, sports cars still maintain their traditional petrol power and searing yet accessible performance. The very best major on handling dynamism and engagement without sacrificing on everyday usability.
Ultimately, a sports car is judged by how it feels and how fun it is to drive. Developing such cars is a challenge, hence why big players – including Porsche, BMW and Alpine – continue to invest so heavily in this space.
In such a competitive segment, it’s the Alpine A110 that truly stands out from the rest of the field, offering a masterclass in lightweight agility few cars can match.
