Sports Cars are a dying breed. The hedonistic pleasure of having a vehicle simply for fun is reserved for a few who can afford it or those that are enthusiasts.

Sports cars are also a broad category, ranging from hot hatches to coupes and convertibles, sport saloons and now the new breed of sports SUVs that can transport a family and go from 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds and top out at 250 km/h plus.

We test them all for you, to drool over or to make an educated buying decision about which one suits you best
