Sports car reviews

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

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
