There Can Only Be One Top Gear Performance Car Of The Year

Chris Harris will be more than happy to find a winner.

Every year Top Gear has its Speed Week competition, with the goal of determining the Performance Car of the Year. It’s a hard job and all, but Chris Harris is more than up for the task. We all wish we could join him. Let’s just say that 2017 was an absolutely brilliant year for performance car reveals, putting it mildly. Why’s that? Here’s your answer: Ford GT, Lamborghini Huracan Performante, McLaren 720S, and a new Porsche 911 GT3 and its most serious rival ever, the Mercedes-AMG GT R.

Oh, and let’s not forget the less expensive, but certainly no lightweight Honda Civic Type R. There’s also the first-ever Mercedes-AMG E63 with all-wheel drive, the not for the faint hearted BMW M4 CS, the stunningly styled Lexus LC500, and the 602 hp Audi R8 Plus Spyder.

Yeah, quite a list of competitors indeed. Fortunately, we can all follow Harris, who did the testing at the Knockhill circuit in Scottland in his quest to determine a winner beginning today and ending on November 1st. This is going to be one hell of a competition and a wonderful amount of sheer car porn. In the meantime, let us know your predictions. Which car do you think will take home the ultimate prize?

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLB Review: Handling Dynamics Under Duress

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLB Review: Handling Dynamics Under Duress Part 7 of 10 | Is the Utility King also a True Driver's Companion? Testing its Grip, Feel, and Cornering Confidence. Many crossovers are glorified golf carts with bigger badges. The GLB dares to be different. While it embraces the boxy silhouette, its engineering guts defy that stereotype. This review pushes the GLB—from smooth suburban cruises to aggressive highway sweeps—to its limits, determining if this SUV truly offers a *driver's experience*, not just a passenger experience. [Cornering Confidence] See GLB handle tight turns like a dream! Watch our dynamic review video. The Direct Link: Steering Feel That Connects You to the Road In a vehicle designed for practicality, steering often becomes dull.

Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG Reliability - 2018 Ratings

New AMG SUV is the first full-size SUV which has that two way of building combined. 2 separate 1/4 mile records were made by two separate RENNtech cars at Palm Beach International Raceway on Wednesday night. The C350 took everything up a notch, but again not a night and day experience, while the C63 is otherworldly, its power devastating, adhesion and correlating road manners unfathomable for such a solid, substantial four-door sedan. I took my girlfriend to an Italian restaurant in Austin, Texas that we had both wanted to try for a while. While the show car does not look anything like the current Impreza, equally Subaru insists the concept鈥檚 styling forms only a guide to the production WRX. The interior of this car has been designed to have an elegant yet sporty look that matches perfectly with the vehicle鈥檚 overall appeal. To get the power onto the road, the rear tires are wider than the front ones on a mid-engined car - usually about 30% wider. Also look for a return of the hybrid S...
