Default Top Gear Performance Car of the year 2018
Their teaser
says there is a shock winner. Also says mag is out now but I can't download it yet. Anyone got a hard copy?

Shock can't be GT2 RS. Alpine maybe??

Alpine. GT2 did not make the shortlist. Got eliminated early in the process.

What really caught my eye is Dallara Stradale. That looks like a proper race car. Shame that it is powered by 4 cylinder turbo.

Chris Harris said GT2 should have been in last 5 but that he was outvoted.

I'd say another example where the 3RS would have stood a better chance.

Finally a 488 on a test vs. 600LT and 991GT2RS.

weird, but a pista is more affordable than a $80k Carrera with a TTS engine and a GT3RS body.

Sorry, but i watched the video didint say who was the winner.

Chris Harries USED to be good. I feel now he has turned into a pompous ****** too much. Way too cool now.

Hopefully Porsche will provide the .2 3rs in these shoot-outs for 2019?

UK CAR magazine Pista takes it from GT2 RS.

Although once again the reviewer said 3 RS would have been better than 2.
