What Car? Awards 2012

Best sports cars of 2012

The best sports car of 2012 should keep you entertained, but not at the expense of all else. Our winner had to make us want to go out for a blast whenever possible, but also be reasonably relaxed when all we wanted to do was ‘get there’.

It needed to be able to carry a minimum of two people and their luggage, and if it could do so without taking too much of a toll on the planet’s resources, even better.  If it managed all that, it would be a worthy recipient of our best sports car of 2012 accolade.
