They expect a disappointment every year. They said the M3 was that car. None of them liked it. Interesting.

i8 got high praise.

The 458 Speciale will go down as the pinnacle of the last of a dying breed. Normally aspirated perfection.

991 GT3 has as good if not better motor and the RS 4.0 was pretty much the pinnacle. The 991 RS will be the ultimate of the ultimate NA cars.

Neither the m3/4 or i8 have fared well in any comparos.

No...GT3 won last year and if there was an RS out yet, you know damn well it would be the pick over the Speciale as even the 991 GT3 was picked over it by R&T.

Here's a fact for you. The EVO COTY award has been going on for 17 years now. Porsche has won 9 of those 17 years. This is only the 2nd time ferrari has won coty.

No one has argued that Porsche doesn't build great cars, it's just the fervent fanboiism that is amusing. You know about Rennlist and others, right?

R&T are a bunch of amateurs compared to Autocar and EVO.

R&T picked the Beetle because they are a bunch of pussies.

Let's start with the Ferrari 458 Speciale. PCOTY demands emotional involvement, and the Speciale delivers to an extent we didn't previously believe possible. It was the fastest car we've ever run around the Motown Mile, and on a back road, it's sensual and demanding all at once, like a 19-year-old mistress with a flair for screaming in public. But it was too loud and raw for most of us to take. It attracted cops and angry people in worrisome doses, and it forces its owner to be the center of attention.

Had the 991 GT3 been there, it wouldnt have been.

Again, look at the 17 years of history and see how many Porsche's have won and beaten out Ferrari virtually every year.

Id much rather have 9 winning years out of 17 rather than 2 wins, whether unanimous or not. Numbers dont lie and these are staggering and completely lobsided.

The GT3 won last year in Autocar's COTY Award. They werent going to pick it again so your point is moot.

Again, Porsche has won 9 times...Ferrari and their junk cars only twice.

Shows just how ignorant you are calling it a beetle.

Do you even drive a performance car?

Unfortunately for you, that statement is a moot point. Because they have picked back to back winners twice. (nope neither were a P-car)

Autocar has been doing this test for 25 years. They know what they doing and as the video clearly shows. They prefer the Speciale.

I can repeat the same things over and over again, too. Speciale was EVO's first ever unanimous Car of the Year.

And here we go!

Not surprised they didn't like the new M3. Also not surprised the i8 got high praise.

458 is gold though.

I would choose the Speciale over any Porsche including the Carrera GT and the 918.
I will even choose the Speciale over their hyper car La Ferrari.
The Italia is a perfect car al ready the Speciale is just going over the limits in perfection.
P1 for sure I will choose over speciale tough.
( All my own opinion )

I sort of feel the same way, except a white Aperta would be my choice. That noise with no roof, errrmagawd...




I would have a CGT too as long as we're dreaming
