These hot rods are listed in alphabetical order by the automaker.

BMW Z4 M40i

A great-looking convertible that you can live with every day, the Z4 M40i comes with a peppy 382 horsepower turbocharged inline-six engine married to an excellent eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Zero to 60 mph happens in just 3.8 seconds. Fuel economy is an EPA rated 22 mpg city/29 mpg highway. Fit and finish is excellent as you'd expect from the ultimate driving machine. Starting MSRP $53,795.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Rocketing your way, this mighty 650-horsepower variant of the go-fast Camaro offers up a Supercharged 6.2-liter V8 under a sleek hood riding on Goodyear F1 racing tires like a NASCAR for the streets. It will blast you from zero to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Grab this rear-wheel drive muscle car while you can as Chevy is ending production of the Camaro in 2024. Starting MSRP $76,295.
 

Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Entering the performance stratosphere normally occupied by supercar marquees such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bugatti, the Z06 is the first mid-engine Corvette. Massive air intakes and a rear wing set it in a league of its own and it is wider than the entry level Vette. A 5.5-liter V8 takes this eighth-generation track-ready two-seater from zero to 60 mph in a blistering 2.5 seconds! Starting MSRP $109,295.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

If you're a muscle car maniac, the Mustang Shelby GT500 is for you. Its performance numbers rival exotic sports cars with a roaring 760 horsepower 5.2-liter V8 that launches you from zero to 60 mph in a scant 3.4 seconds. Standard adaptive dampers provide better ride manners and the handling in this torpedo is surprisingly agile. The Shelby Cobra logo on the steering wheel says it all. Starting MSRP $80,795.

Jaguar F-type R

The iconic F-Type is one of the most beautifully styled cars on the road today. The R variant features a 575 horsepower 5.0-liter V8 that will get you from zero to 60 mph in a white knuckled scream of 3.5 seconds. The car's driving manners are more refined than many on our list, after all, it's a Jaguar. It would be our choice when we want to arrive with a bit of class and style. Starting MSRP $109,775.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Club

The car that brought the two-seater convertible roadster back into the limelight, Mazda's nimble Miata just keeps getting better every year. A high-revving 181 horsepower four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual gearbox feel just right for open air motoring. The chassis is expertly tuned so you can throw this land speeder around by the scruff of the neck. Pure fun at an attractive price! Starting MSRP $33,310.

McLaren Artura

An all-new high-end hybrid makes our top 10 with the new McLaren Artura mid-engine two-seater supercar. A twin-turbo V6 and an electric motor combine for a whopping 671 horsepower that will zip you from zero to 60 mph in an amazing 2.6 seconds at a top speed of 205 mph! Believe it or not, this ultra-high-performance bad boy is also extremely drivable around town. Starting MSRP $237,500.

Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0

When you close your eyes and think of a Porsche, the classic 911 probably appears in your mind. But the 718 Cayman hardtop is our choice of a stunning sports car that does everything well. Its mid-engine six-cylinder engine produces 394 horses. Adaptive sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels and sticky tires are the perfect combination, and zero to 60 mph happens in a mere 3.4 seconds. If you prefer a convertible, the 718 Boxster might be right for you. Starting MSRP $91,750.

Toyota GR86 Premium

In a world of crossover SUVs, the GR86 stands out as an exciting rear-wheel drive two-door coupe. It sports a 228-horsepower 2.4-liter flat-four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual transmission. Steering is sharp and handling is impressive. Premium trim adds heated seats, 18-inch wheels and performance tires, LED headlights and a premium stereo. Zero to 60 mph takes just 5.4 seconds. Starting MSRP $33,000.

Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium

Built alongside the excellent BMW Z4, Toyota's GR Supra hardtop coupe offers similar build quality as the Beemer but with a bit simpler interior. The 3.0 Premium variant adds a turbocharged 3.0-liter BMW inline-six engine with your choice of a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Zero to 60 mph is accomplished in 3.7 seconds and the Supra comes with a one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association and a day of high-performance driving. Starting MSRP $58,000.
