Sports cars are about the journey, not the destination. These vehicles are purpose-built to be fast, grippy, and entertaining to their drivers and put cargo space and cupholders low on the. While there are numerous criteria by which you can judge a new car, for a sports car none is as important as fun. So, yes, ride comfort, interior quality and generous equipment levels are all welcome, but they're irrelevant if you don't also have deft handling, a charismatic engine and a fast mph sprint time.
With this in mind, our road testers have reviewed every sports car on the market — in addition to every sports SUV and performance car — and they all agree that the Porsche Cayman is the best sports car money can buy right now. We know that different people have different secondary needs, though, and that sports cars are often bought with the heart as much as the head, so below we've also looked at the rest of the top 10 and named the sports car that's best avoided.
In each case, simply click on the relevant links if you want to read the full review or to see how much you could save via our sports car deals. Even in entry-level 2. That engine delivers thunderous performance and a terrific soundtrack, although it's at its very best when paired with the standard six-speed manual gearbox; the extra driver involvement the manual delivers gives it the edge over the optional PDK automatic.
Of course, you can also get the as a convertible — the Porsche Boxster — but it's the Cayman that's a little bit sharper to drive, not to mention cheaper to buy, which is why it takes the win over its sibling here. Now, we said that the Cayman is sharper than the Boxster, and it is, but the latter is still a sensational sports car, with the GTS version the best of the bunch. This has a 4.
Small and light models often make the best sports cars, and the Alpine A is a great example of that general rule.
It weighs only about kg, which is roughly the same as a Ford Fiesta. Faster models are available, but we think the entry-level version is all you need.
Best sports cars 2024 – plus the one to avoid
The model's low weight also brings handling benefits. The A feels well-balanced and nimble, and very accurate steering makes it easy to turn with precision. The Ferrari GTB is a landmark car, because it marked the moment Ferrari introduced its F1 hybrid knowhow into a mainstream supercar, rather than just some limited-run special. If your pockets are deep enough, though, it is a remarkable feat of engineering. Unlike the old-school-feeling Lamborghini Huracán , it can travel 15 miles on electricity alone, meaning you can leave your house without waking the neighbours.

Press the accelerator hard, and the V6 engine and motors combine for a 2. The list goes on. The latest iteration of the Porsche upholds the reputation of its predecessors with its fantastic range of engines, excellent handling and impressive interior. The entry-level Carrera comes with a bhp 3. But if you want even more power, there are many other versions to choose from — the most powerful of which is the bhp Turbo S.
Okay, six-footers will be cramped in the back, but my wife and mother-in-law were perfectly comfortable. For anyone who wants their sports car to draw plenty of attention, the Huracán would be a very good choice. Over the years, Lamborghini has incrementally improved the handling so that this is now comparable with all but the very best sports cars. The 5. The Huracán is available with a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive set-up.
We reckon the rear-wheel drive version offers the better driving experience of the two, though. But in a nod to the marque's previous impracticalities, there's still no cupholder. While an increasing number of supercars rely on hybrid technology for their performance, the Maserati MC20 is far more traditional in its approach. True, its 3. The interior is less showy than that of the Ferrari and McLaren Artura , but its simplicity is refreshing.
The driving-mode selector sits on the centre console; you just swipe left or right on the touchpad to bring up the suspension and drivetrain menus, then use a rotary dial to confirm individual settings. Even a top-spec model will cost you much less than any other car on this list. Although the MX-5 is the slowest model here and would struggle to shake off many hot hatches , it makes up for that by being so easy to drive and have fun in it's also available with a retractable hard-top roof, as the Mazda MX-5 RF.
We rate the 1. Just bear in mind that this isn't a big car, which has its advantages, but also means taller people might struggle to fit. The DBS is based on the Aston Martin DB11 but has been heavily updated to make it lighter, faster and more exciting, as well as less skittish and easier to live with. And that makes it an absolute joy to drive. The interior is less than perfect, though. Some of the trim feels a bit flimsy, and the infotainment system can be slow, but the DBS does at least score well for comfort.
The car manages to combine great handling prowess with suspension that delivers a smooth ride over imperfect roads. The Mercedes-AMG SL has long been a great compromise between sporty roadster and long-distance cruiser, but the latest version places more emphasis on driving pleasure.
