Sports car reviews

Slightly sharper looks, slightly sharper chassis... but otherwise refreshingly old-school. The F-Type doesn't cause any upsets. Phew

Will be remembered as one of the great automotive follies, but also one of the most fascinating machines ever made

As practical as a pair of lead water wings, but one of the most entertaining cars ever built

The Countach is back. It’s mostly a reclothed Sian, but in all important ways it’s a Lamborghini through and through

Toyota’s only going to sell the GR86 for a couple of years and it’s pretty much sold out. Pity: it’s absolutely marvellous

Overkill in a pure form, but obviously the madness here is to be celebrated

Does the world really need a GT4 RS? Yes, yes it does. You can tell Porsche wants to build these cars while it still can

An oddball but undeniably interesting bit of badge-swapping history. And doesn't it look great still?

It drives like a McLaren should, but a genuine GT car ought to be more practical

An all-electric Ferrari with a top speed of 50mph, but perhaps the most fun we’ve had behind the wheel of anything all year. The pinnacle of extravagant toys

Veyron's successor is a car that does things no other car can; one with a distinct personality

A fascinating and fast send off to what might be one of the great engines. The 812 Comp is a wild triumph we'll look back on in years to come

The Pininfarina Battista is a triumph for what it set out to achieve. It’s beautiful, and so violently fast you will never get used to it

The Boxster isn't going to awe you or overpower you. It simply works with you in a deeply satisfying way

Alter your expectations of speed and the RX-8 can still feel special. But buy one with care...

A true Nineties hero. And one that’s just as much fun to drive now as the day it was born

Don’t let that drama, stridency and raucousness deceive you. Underneath, the STO really knows its way around a circuit

One of the cheapest routes into Ferrari ownership since new. Don't misjudge it, though - it's still bewitching

A highly engaging and authentic supercar that also slips surprisingly persuasively into elegant GT mode

The Elva is an acquired taste but an unbelievable experience. A showcase in cross-pollinating eccentricity and engineering in the search of speed

The first true pure-electric hypercar is a sensation, as is the company that makes it
