2012 Nissan GT-R Black Edition
This Japanese super car delivers straight-line performance that can’t be beat by cars five times its price. Traction from its high tech all-wheel drive system delivers astounding grip and predictability. The GT-R’s looks make it a standout and any true import lover will either bow in its presence or suck exhaust should they try to step to it on the track.



1981 BMW M1
The star-crossed BMW M1 is a surprisingly accomplished late-1970s supercar. Dynamically, the M1 is excellent, with a superb chassis paired to a jewel of an engine – a powerplant that essentially founded an M-Division dynasty, finding a home under the hood of the M635CSi, M5, and that inspired the first M3’s powerful four cylinder. BMW started with a winning design – their Paul Bracq-penned Turbo concept car – and that aforementioned M88 inline six cylinder DOHC motor. M1’s poise, balance, and power make it quite simply one of the best-driving cars of its type and vintage.



1973 BMW 2002 Turbo
Whether you love or are indifferent about the 2002 Turbo, when you’re talking about this car the phrase “turbo lag” is going to come up. In the very early days of turbocharging, the technology was primarily intended for racing, where cars spend a lot of time near the rev limiter and not much time putting about town. Plug that technology into the diminutive 2002, and you have the same issue. Near the top of the engine range, the large turbo provided plenty of boost to the fuel-injected motor, enough to result in a maximum of almost 170 horsepower at 5,800 RPM. For the early 1970s, in a car weighing a shade under 2,400 lbs., this translated into a quickness that’s tough to understand decades later in the midst of a horsepower bonanza. So that’s the 2002 Turbo’s trade-off: lots and lots of power, if you are patient or skilled enough to let the revs climb. Or simply park it and admire the infamous mirror-imaged “2002 Turbo” script on the huge front air dam, bolt-on fender flares, and iconic tri-color striping. Don’t park it …read more
