Sports cars

Sports cars have been made for 100 years, and most early racing cars were really sports cars. Today, some sports cars have fixed roofs, and even room for two small people in the back.

Here, we concentrate only on sports cars, giving you the best information and guidance on choosing one. If you need advice, just ask. But how do we define sports cars?

Sports cars are usually two-seater convertibles. The best aren’t shortened sedans which have two seats, but are built on their own short special-purpose underbodies or frames. The BMW Z4, Honda S-2000, Lotus Elise, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Porsche Boxster are good examples of modern sports cars.

Sports cars have been an important part of the motoring scene for a century. Famous makers of sports cars include Aston Martin, Ferrari and Jaguar – now in the supercar class – and Porsche. Alfa Romeo and Mercedes-Benz has also made a number of fabulous sports cars over the years..

Brilliant sports cars from Caterham, Honda, Lotus and Porsche

Some of these sports cars are produced by very small firms, and in some cases you have to do some of the assembly work yourself. Lotus is a small company that has produced some brilliant sports cars in the past, including the Seven, Eleven, Elan, Elite and Europa – and it still does so. There are many other small companies, especially in Britain, producing small numbers of sports cars and kit cars.
