Which Brands Still Sell Sports Cars? We Rounded Them All Up, from Affordable Models to Exotics

Grand tourers and performance coupes

Aston Martin’s range includes the DB12 and Vanquish, along with the smaller Vantage. The article also names the 1064-hp Valhalla, described as a hypercar with polished road manners.

Bentley’s Continental GT remains a heavyweight grand tourer, while its plug-in hybrid models offer up to 771 hp. BMW’s sports-car choices are the M2 coupe and M4 coupe and convertible, following the Z4 roadster’s departure.

Maserati offers the GranTurismo, GranCabrio and MCPura. The article describes them as alternatives to more familiar luxury sports cars, with twin-turbo V-6 engines and richly appointed interiors.

American icons and affordable choices

Chevrolet has four Corvette variants, from the Stingray and Grand Sport to higher-end models. A new 6.7-liter V-8 is slated for 2027 and is expected to improve the lower-end models’ performance; the article says the Corvettes are priced below European rivals.

The Mustang lineup has served a broad range of buyers since 1964, though a V-8 model in 2027 requires at least $50,000, according to the article. Its range also includes the $328,000 GTD.

Mazda’s MX-5 Miata is a lightweight, two-seat, rear-wheel-drive roadster with a manual transmission and a price below $40,000. Buyers can also choose the RF version, which has a power targa roof.

Exotics with distinct characters

Ferrari’s range is praised for its electronic chassis control and six-, eight- and 12-cylinder engines. Lamborghini takes a louder approach: the Temerario revs to 10,000 rpm, while the Revuelto SV has 1050 horsepower and upward-opening doors.

McLaren’s models include the plug-in hybrid Artura, the roomy GTS and the race-ready 750S. The article characterizes the cars as technical performers that retain an old-school sports-car feel.

Lotus’s mid-engined Emira is presented as an analog sports car with a carefully tuned chassis and hand-built British character. Mercedes-AMG offers the CLE53 coupe and convertible, the SL roadster and GT Coupe; Maybach makes a more luxurious SL680 convertible based on the AMG SL.

Other models in the lineup

Honda’s Civic Type R is excluded because it is a hatchback, while the Prelude is described as a Civic Hybrid coupe starting at $44,000. The article also points to the Nissan Z, a manual-transmission sports car with classic styling.

The article’s opening says the roundup covers cars from Aston Martin to Toyota, but its detailed brand entries end with Nissan. It does not provide a Toyota model or explain the difference, leaving the stated scope broader than the brands discussed.
