2015 GT4
2016 R....

It seems that those " obnoxious " British journos love a good involving sports car! I wonder how come they don't fall for outright speed,lap times and flappy paddles...
Porsche...you already know this : THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A GOOD,LIGHT,INVOLVING MANUAL SPORTS CAR!

Evo just loves Porsche GT cars (I'll include the R in there too)

Encouraging comments on the Alfa and more recognition for the 675LT. And how about that GTI Clubsport S? Alas yet another car we can't buy in the States. Not sure VW will ever get it's act together on this side of the pond.

As for the winner, come back to me when it's a car you can actually buy.

Or let's just do a limited edition test, which means you get to toss in stuff like this:


I'm mean let's face it, with 991R's trading at $600k - $700k this is proper comp.


Better toss this one it too. It's limited edition:


Again, not taking anything away from the 991R and happy for those that got the chance but Evo needs to get real.

RS should have been chosen over R IMHO for numerous reasons.

RS was in last year's ECOTY so couldn't be in this one. It got beaten by GT4 (and LT I think).

Correct. Tough to win when the RS isn't even in the competition...
