Overview
The Revuelto represents Lamborghini's first foray into electrification of a standard (not limited-edition) supercar. With massive horsepower, extreme performance, and bold styling, the Revuelto is a proper replacement for the outgoing Aventador. The Lamborghini Revuelto is a 2-seater vehicle that comes in 1 trim levels. The most popular style is the Coupe, which starts at $608,358 and comes with a Plug-In Hybrid 6.5L V12 engine and All Wheel Drive.
Overall Assessment
The idea of a plug-in hybrid does not typically bring about any level of excitement, but this Lamborghini PHEV is anything but typical. The all-new Revuelto replaces the Aventador at the top of Lamborghini's exotic supercar lineup and is the latest in a long line of V12-powered extreme sports cars from the Italian marque. However, for the first time, the V12 is integrated with three electric motors in a plug-in hybrid powertrain that boasts more than 1,000 horsepower.
Like other Lamborghinis before it, the Revuelto is named for a famous Spanish fighting bull. However, the name in Italian means unruly (or a scrambled egg dish, but we'll go with unruly), which also seems appropriate for such a beast. The styling is pure Lamborghini, with sleek lines, a wide stance, and the iconic scissor doors. At the rear, the massive V12 engine is exposed for all to see, and the dual hexagonal exhaust outlets provide the ultimate soundtrack to this powerful machine.
The Revuelto is more than just a straight-line rocket: This supercar is built to handle the road and track. Active aerodynamics provide low drag or maximum downforce, depending on the need, and the carbon-fiber monocoque provides excellent torsional stiffness. The front electric motors also offer torque vectoring, further improving high-speed performance.
While the Revuelto is one of the most powerful electrified sports cars on the road, automakers such as Ferrari and McLaren have also embraced electrification. The McLaren Artura, Ferrari SF90 Stradale, and Ferrari 296 GTB all feature plug-in hybrid powertrains that are much more about performance than efficiency. However, none of these can match the performance (or price) of the Lamborghini.

With its celebrated heritage, iconic design, and unmatched driving experience, the Porsche 911 is still the ultimate sports car. New variations for this year only make it harder to decide which one is best. The Porsche 911 is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 16 trim levels. The most popular style is the Carrera GTS Cabriolet RWD, which starts at $156,850 and comes with a 3.0L H6 Twin-Turbo engine and Rear Wheel Drive. This 911 is estimated to deliver 17 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway.
Overall Assessment
There aren't many cars that define a category, but the Porsche 911 remains the gold standard for sports cars. Every version of the 911 is designed to delight the senses. From the sound of the engine to the feel of the road through the steering wheel, the 911 encourages driving for the sake of driving. As a bonus, the 911 is also civilized enough to drive every day. A dizzying array of models make up the range, but even the base Carrera is an outstanding performance car that boasts 379 horsepower, two excellent transmissions, and a sophisticated suspension that keeps it glued to the road. The cabin is equally serious, with large gauges that dominate the dashboard to keep drivers well informed. A center-mounted touchscreen offers the latest technology. Space for the driver and front passenger is generous, but the rear seats are mostly for show.
Beyond the standard Carrera, there are 911 models with more horsepower, all-wheel drive, convertible tops, and track-focused setups for the ultimate in extreme performance. Some are limited edition models, while others are available to anyone with the resources and patience to put in their order. The 911 is also one of the most customizable production cars available today, regardless of trim. There are literally hundreds of options from which to choose. Customers can select everything from leather-covered interior vents to a key fob painted to match the exterior.
The most direct Porsche 911 competitors are from Aston Martin, Ferrari, and McLaren, although the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, Audi R8, and grand tourers such as the BMW M8 also offer similar levels of performance and comfort.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is all about luxury. Its delightfully opulent cabin is backed by strong engine performance and efficiency, no matter the conditions. A slightly smaller-than-average cargo capacity is one of the few drawbacks, but otherwise, this luxury sedan is as close to perfect as you'll find today. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 5 trim levels. The most popular style is the S 580, which starts at $129,300 and comes with a 4.0L V8 Turbo engine and All Wheel Drive. This S-Class is estimated to deliver 18 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway.
Overall Assessment
For decades, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been the standard-bearer for luxury vehicles. In recent years, larger SUVs have mounted a serious challenge with their spacious interiors and generous cargo capacities, but luxury sedans are still more agile and efficient. The current S-Class generation was last redesigned in 2021 and since then, a plug-in hybrid and additional features have enhanced the lineup.
This year, the sportier AMG S 63 E Performance joins the stable. Its twin-turbocharged V8 engine is augmented with a plug-in hybrid component and produces an otherworldly 791 horsepower. The powerplant pairs well with a confidence-inspiring suspension that makes it more capable when cornering. This top-performing S-Class joins the six-cylinder S 500; another plug-in hybrid, the S 580e; and the already strong S 580 with its own V8.
For ultimate luxury and refinement, you can step up to either of the Maybach long-wheelbase sedans. At the top of this limited pair is a V12-powered S 680 with a buttery-smooth V12 engine.
But wait, there's more. The S-Class is now offered with Mercedes' new Drive Pilot system. It not only allows for hands-free driving, but also allows the driver to take their eyes off the road (though sleeping is not allowed and the system will know if you try). It's only available on models that are specifically outfitted with additional sensors and in select states on pre-approved highways, but expect more to be added over time.
If you're seeking unassailable comfort and all the latest technology features, you should start your search with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Audi A8, S8, and BMW 7 Series are more athletic alternatives, but their sportiness comes at the expense of ride comfort. If that's not a problem for you, the Porsche Panamera pushes performance even higher. All-electric choices have also multiplied, delivering an eerie silence when cruising. The best part is, there isn't a bad choice among them.

Overview
The Ferrari Portofino M is a good choice for first-time Ferrari buyers. Starting at $227,000, it is the most affordable choice in the 'Prancing Horse' stables, yet it comes with a 612-horsepower V8, gorgeous Italian styling, and melodious exhaust note. The Portofino M's retractable hardtop provides extra protection in bad weather and better noise insulation than a soft-top convertible. The Ferrari Portofino M is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 1 trim levels. The most popular style is the Convertible, which starts at $230,950 and comes with a 3.9L V8 Turbo engine and Rear Wheel Drive. This Portofino M is estimated to deliver 16 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway.
Overall Assessment
It may be the least expensive new Ferrari, but there is nothing cut-rate about the Portofino M, a handsome power-hardtop convertible with all the speed and style exotic buyers want. It can be customized in various colors to meet owners' tastes. Ferrari gives the Portofino M one of the most practical cabins in its class, with a four-seat layout and uncomplicated controls. Beneath its comfortable passenger compartment, the Portofino M's chassis offers excellent balance and grip for driving fun. With its relatively low price and versatile features, the Ferrari Portofino M is a surprisingly sensible supercar.

The Nissan GT-R remains a potent sport coupe that is easier to live with than some of its rivals, but it's been in production for 14 years without a major overhaul, and its age has been showing for some time. The Nissan GT-R is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 3 trim levels. The most popular style is the T-spec, which starts at $142,985 and comes with a 3.8L V6 Turbo engine and All Wheel Drive. This GT-R is estimated to deliver 16 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway.
Overall Assessment
There was a time when the Nissan GT-R was the hottest sport coupe on the market. Unfortunately, that was more than a decade ago, and since then, the GT-R has succumbed to the ravages of time. Its rivals have evolved to meet or exceed its capabilities, and new challengers are attracting shoppers away from the GT-R.
The 2024 Nissan GT-R receives a few notable changes to help keep it relevant. The front spoiler has been reshaped to deliver more downforce and engine cooling, while the rear wing is much larger and stands well above the trunk lid. The lineup also grows with the reintroduction of the midlevel T-Spec trim that adds a few performance enhancements. At the top of the range, the Nismo model adds a front limited-slip differential and new carbon-fiber appearance package.
These changes do little to improve the GT-R's standing in the class, though. Other sport coupes such as the Porsche 911 and Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 deliver similar thrills and cost less. There's also the more affordable Chevrolet Corvette and Toyota GR Supra.
The GT-R is distinctive for its smart performance management systems, which let drivers of any skill level extract a surprising amount of performance. For more experienced drivers, those systems tend to reduce engagement and the visceral excitement that comes with driving a sports car at its limit. Also holding the GT-R back is its aging platform and lack of the latest technology features.
For those reasons, we suggest checking out the competition before committing to the current Nissan GT-R. It will take a complete redesign to return the GT-R to its former glory.

Overview
McLaren is well known for building lightweight, high-performance supercars, but some customers also want luxury and refinement. The McLaren GT gives up nothing in terms of performance but coddles its passengers in an elegant, beautifully outfitted cabin. The McLaren GT is a 2-seater vehicle that comes in 1 trim levels. The most popular style is the Coupe, which starts at $208,490 and comes with a 4.0L V8 Turbo engine and Rear Wheel Drive. This GT is estimated to deliver 15 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway.
Overall Assessment
The GT is the first modern-day grand touring car from McLaren, so unlike its more narrowly focused siblings, the GT has some creature comforts that make it incrementally more useful as a daily driver. However, with 612 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, it's still a proper supercar, extremely capable of carving up a twisty mountain road or spending a day at the racetrack. And it certainly looks the part, with sleek lines and the signature dihedral doors.
But the GT is designed for more than just extreme motoring. This McLaren is somewhat unusual in the world of grand touring models in that a GT is typically a two-door performance car with a back seat. GT cars also tend to be on the heavy side, designed for, well, touring rather than the track. The McLaren has just two seats, and in true McLaren tradition, it is one of the lightest GTs available. To make it feel slightly more liveable inside, the GT comes with ample amounts of leather upholstery and trim, along with a navigation system and cargo space in the front and rear. The upgrades do make the GT feel a little extra special inside, but ultimately this is still an ultra-high-performance sports car, so don't expect a plush ride or massaging seats. For that kind of GT, cars like the Aston Martin DB11 or Bentley Continental GT are better bets.

When the Panamera debuted in 2010, there was some outcry from the Porsche faithful. "How could a sedan be considered a Porsche?" they cried. And then they drove it.
The Porsche Panamera isn't just a legitimate performance sedan, it's the performance sedan. Depending on the model, it's easy to forget you're not driving a Porsche 911, and there are a lot of models to choose from. Starting with the $93K 325-horsepower base model, all the way up to the 690-hp Turbo S E-Hybrid that costs more than double that, there's a Panamera for a broad range of expensive tastes. There are also a few body style alternatives, with a wagon-like Sport Turismo and a long-wheelbase Executive model that increases rear legroom.
The 2023 Porsche Panamera has a very diverse lineup, but what's missing is a direct competitor. The four-door Mercedes-Benz AMG GT comes close, but with the discontinuation of the top AMG 63 S model, it can't keep up with the higher-performing Panameras. The BMW M8 Gran Coupe narrows that gap and is plenty entertaining. Sportified luxury sedans such as the BMW Alpina B7 and Audi S8 are also intriguing alternatives with a more luxurious slant. You can't go wrong with any of these, but if performance is your priority, the Panamera stands alone.

The 2024 Maserati GranCabrio is arguably one of the most beautiful cars on the road. With perfect Italian styling and an elegant, premium interior, it stands out among high-performance sports cars as something special. The Maserati GranCabrio is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 1 trim levels. The most popular style is the Trofeo, which starts at $204,995 and comes with a 3.0L V6 Turbo engine and All Wheel Drive. This GranCabrio is estimated to deliver 17 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway.
Overall Assessment
Maserati's first open-top car debuted more than 90 years ago as the 1932 8CM, a race car adapted for road use. Since then, there have been many convertible Maseratis. The modern-day GranCabrio joined the lineup in 2010, and after a four-year gap, this sexy convertible returns as a 2024 model, turning heads wherever it goes.
The GranCabrio is sold alongside its hard-top GranTurismo sibling, offering the same level of performance and comfort but with open-air enjoyment. Like the coupe, the GranCabrio has seating for four, although the back seat is arguably tight. The transition to open motoring is quick; the soft-top retracts in just 14 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 31 mph.
Styling is clearly influenced by the Italian brand's MC20 supercar, and that's a good thing. Vertical headlights with signature LED lighting flow back over the powerful fenders, and the large Maserati trident is placed boldly in the center of the grille.
Priced above $200,000, the GranCabrio plays in a very exclusive space, combining luxury, performance, and seating for four. While there is nothing quite like the experience of driving a Maserati, other models at this level include the Aston Martin DB12 Volante, BMW M8 Competition Convertible, Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet, and Bentley Continental GTC.
Currently, Maserati only offers the GranCabrio in the top-level Trofeo trim, which boasts a 542-horsepower turbocharged V6 engine and all-wheel drive. While all-wheel drive improves overall performance, some enthusiasts will lament the lack of a rear-wheel drive option.
The 2024 Maserati GranCabrio is on sale now and will be joined next year by the all-electric, 761-hp GranCabrio Folgore.

Overview
Sleek, agile, fast, and polished, the 2024 Porsche Taycan is exactly what you'd expect when one of the most accomplished sports-car brands goes electric. The mediocre driving range is disappointing, though. The Porsche Taycan is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 6 trim levels. The most popular style is the Turbo AWD, which starts at $162,450 and comes with an Electric engine and All Wheel Drive. This Taycan is estimated to deliver 81 MPGe in the city and 80 MPGe on the highway.
Overall Assessment
As automakers race to electrify more of their signature models, or introduce all-new EV lineups, Porsche has held steady with the Taycan, its only EV offering to date. That will change with the forthcoming electric Macan, but so far, Porsche has taken a measured approach to electrification. It's hard to argue the results. The 2024 Taycan delivers classic Porsche performance, with exceptional handling, blistering acceleration, and quiet, comfortable, luxury manners during a daily or long-distance drive.
The Taycan is available in both low-slung fastback sedan or hatchback-wagon styles. The latter gets you a bit more cargo room without sacrificing style. The interior is a tech lover's dream with three displays, two touchscreens, optional displays for the front- and rear-seat passengers, and features such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connections, wireless charging, and four USB charge ports. For 2024, the Taycan adds native Spotify streaming, a nice touch that frees your phone from streaming duties.
Despite outstanding performance, the Taycan falls short in driving range. At 208-246 miles, the Taycan is midpack among most EVs, and well below some of its closer rivals. The Tesla Model S covers 350-400 miles, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E offers 270 miles in its powerful GT trim. The Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT share the same EV platform as the Taycan but offer slightly better range. But while its competitors carry a lower price tag, and can cover more ground, none do it with the same poise and spirit as the Taycan.
