All of the cars which we tested this year that possess sports-car-like qualities or are performance-oriented are shortlisted in these categories, and each category winner is decided from amongst these candidates.
GRAN TOURER OF THE YEAR
WINNER:
Porsche 911 Carrera
342 points
Every new Porsche 911 is a revelation. Somehow, Stuttgart consistently refines its legendary model, making it even more compelling and relevant for each new era.
It remains an incredible sports car, one that’s fast, refined, and eminently usable. It’s a subtle yet meaningful evolution, and while it doesn’t tick every box, it undoubtedly keeps the 911 legend very much alive.
GRAN TOURER NOMINEES
Aston Martin DB12 | 335 pts
Ferrari Roma Spider | 330 pts
Mercedes-Benz CLE53 | 322 pts
Bentley Continental GT | 309 pts
SPORTS CAR OF THE YEAR
WINNER:
Ferrari 296 GTB
341 points
The 296 GTB is a monumental step forward, not just for Ferrari but for performance cars in general. It blends heritage and innovation with astonishing ease. Traditionalists might still long for a naturally aspirated V12 soundtrack, but even they would admit this hybrid V6 masterpiece is utterly captivating.
More importantly, the 296 GTB offers a glimpse into Ferrari’s electrified future. Rather than dilute the brand’s legendary identity, hybridisation here only serves to intensify it. Welcome to the future; it’s going to be electrifying.
SPORTS CAR NOMINEES
Aston Martin Vantage | 317 pts
Lotus Emira Turbo SE | 320 pts
MG Cyberster | 282 pts
SUPERCAR OF THE YEAR
WINNER:
Lamborghini Revuelto
311 points
The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s statement of intent for a future shaped by electrification. Yet, it still feels authentically Italian, extravagantly Lamborghini.
Sure, the Revuelto’s hybrid setup will appease regulators and bolster sustainability claims, but more importantly, it enriches the driving experience with an electrifying immediacy that no traditional powertrain could match.
Lamborghini has evolved, using technology to amplify its legendary theatrics.
