Sports car reviews

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

812 Superfast not crazy enough? Step this way, brave billionaires. One seat or two?

As an experience, the mighty V12-engined Vulcan is hard to beat. A sensational machine

A hypercar in an evening suit, the One-77 is Aston Martin at its very best

Of course Aston’s £765,000 open-air chariot makes no sense. Didn’t stop us wanting a go…

The car with the world’s most bonkers rear wing is crude, sure, but not without its charms

Lambo at its wildest. Supercapacitor technology plays second fiddle to mighty V12, handling more fluent than you might expect

The cheapest way into this kind of speed you can find. Awe-inspiring and a modern performance car icon to boot

Simultaneously frenzied and approachable, the 812 is a remarkable achievement. Roof on or off

Porsche's hybrid masterpiece, the most complete car in the Holy Trinity

Beautiful to look at and listen to, but still a proper challenge to drive. Forget 1,000bhp hyper-exotics – this is what loving cars is all about

If trackdays aren't your thing, the 620R won't be either. But if they are? You'll love it

At last, you don’t need to buy a Cayman GT4 to get a flat-six engine. One of the world’s greatest sports cars, this

As an object lesson in corralling the discordant forces of petrol and electricity, it’s stunning

It’s sublime, a rolling sculpture that stays with you for a very long time afterwards

Ferrari's twin-turbo F8 Spider might be a facelifted 488, but it's still a bloody good supercar
