Underformed??
Motor Trend editor-at-large Angus McKenzie says the Carrera S "just flows down the road like quicksilver" and credits the incredible driving experience to "elastic thrust, seamless shifts and effortless transitions." MT technical director Frank Markus says, concisely, that the 400-horsepower, $123,840 sport coupe "does nothing wrong and a whole lot right." But there's plenty more to read (and watch) about that car and each of the other contenders, which you can do here. Meanwhile, we've embedded both the hot lap video for the winning Porsche 911 Carrera S, as well as Motor Trend's full-length choosing-of video.
(Note: Passing on some information from the article, if you're wondering why there's no Pagani Huayra or a Koenigsegg it's because those cars aren't yet sold in the U.S. and are therefore not eligible. If you're wondering why there's no Corvette ZR-1 it's because the car underperformed when it was last in the running, in 2009, and hasn't been substantially upgraded since. If you're wondering why there's no Ferrari, it's because the automaker wouldn't send a model -- any model -- for the competition.)
