The best sports cars in 2021

The best sports cars in 2021 

A sports car is a vehicle specially designed for a variety of purposes such as excellent acceleration, high speeds, meticulous handling, and, last but not least, an elegant exterior. They usually come with whopping price tags to reconcile with the costly materials and engineering required to manufacture one; therefore, they primarily target upper-class wealthy individuals. 

Here are the top 3 sports cars in 2021

Ferrari F8 Tributo is yet another knockout sensation from Ferrari that delivers its newest invention with the most potent V8 engine produced by the company that pumps out a generous 710 horsepower with the aid of its 3.9 liters of capacity; It offers a dual function that includes day-to-day comfortable rides on city roads along with peak performance and strong contenders on the ruthless race tracks. According to Ferrari, the F8 Tributo manages to reach an acceleration of 60 mph within 2.9 seconds and up to top speeds of 211 mph. Moreover, the brakes have been redesigned from previous models to provide improved airflow in the air intake ports and ultimately a smoother and more firm braking system. 

 

The lows

The F8 Tributo is capable of reaching high-level acceleration within seconds with the help of its beastie V8 engine, but how does that translate in terms of fuel economy? Not quite good, as a matter of fact, the EPA gives a figure of around 16 mpg. This fuel economy mirrors that of an SUV that usually gives a city roads/ highway combined rating of 16 mpg, thus producing concerns for the conservative driver. In addition to that, the F8 Tributo is particularly expensive that will set back potential buyers by $280,000. 

Mercedes AMG- GT

This incredible machine was first unveiled in October 2015 by the German car manufacturer Mercedes AMG and has since been a favorite among semi-professional drivers and professional racers due to its high performance. It comes in 2 doors body style, rear-wheel drive, and 93% of its structure is made of aluminum for the sole purpose of weight reduction and high speeds. The interior is made up of rich materials such as leather and features a complex center console with delicate designs. Not to mention that it also provides cargo space for medium-sized suitcases, a trait often lacking in most other sports cars. The engine is a 4.0 liters twin-turbocharged V8 that resemble the roars of a brutal lion, coupled with the seven-speed AMG speed shift dual-clutch transmission that blurs the line between human input and vehicle output that leads to a smooth driving experience. 

The cons 

It is not easy to justify the price of $118,600 against the lower prices of its competitors that approximately offer almost the same features. In addition to that, the ultra-thin tires wrapped around the wheels lead to a driving performance that is too stiff, which hinders the driver's comfort. 

Nissan GTR Nismo

Coming in at around $210,740, the Nissan GTR Nismo is a car made of dreams that comes packed with all the desirable features a driver of any caliber would want. From sophisticated interior that offers leather seats and Bose Premium Audio System to fully immerse the driver with its connectivity. Nissan also offers the option to customize the interior in terms of boost power, an infotainment display, and much more. The standard Nissan GTR Nismo is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-L V6 that is capable of producing 600 horsepower at 6000 revs per minute. 

 

Cons 

The fuel economy tends to be the main drawback of a car; whether it's a new or used sports car, the Nissan GTR Nismo tends to be on the better end of it by having a combined fuel economy of 18 mpg, slightly better than the above-mentioned sports car in comparison. 

Conclusion 

To sum it all up, buying a sports car relies on the incentive that the car presents, such as premium quality experience, a status statement with the lavish exterior, and the possibility of becoming a future classic that will defy depreciation on these cars, altogether are enough factors to persuade potential buyers, regardless of the loud price tag.
