The GT Speed is the fastest four-seat convertible on the market today, even though it weighs a whopping 6,300 pounds. (It hits 60mph in 4 seconds.) Pretty inside and out, it has red carbon ceramic brake calipers on 21-inch alloy wheels, a diamond lattice grill, and polished LED headlights that accent the trim bodyline and big British muscular haunches. You’ll be hard- pressed to find something in this price range that can match both the caliber of craftsmanship, the roguish good looks, and the potency of its 626-horsepower V12 engine.

Best Alt-Fuel Star: Tesla P90D

The P90D hits 1.1 Gs at max acceleration. It goes zero to 60mph in a blistering 2.8 seconds (this, sirs, will keep it apace with a Lamborghini Huracan and a McLaren 650S). The car runs for 300 miles on electricity and requires almost zero maintenance. Plus, it’s as spacious and well-made on the inside as a Mercedes town car, with that massive touch-screen control panel at front that is surprisingly easy—and fun—to use. Even better, it’s made in California and uses no fossil fuel. There is nothing like it. Enough said.

Best Car In Which to Be Driven: Bentley Mulsanne

The 2016 Bentley Mulsanne Speed is a $335,600 sedan that acts like a much smaller car, with rear-wheel drive and a 530-hp V8 engine with 8-speed automatic transmission. Yet, that's beside the point compared to the back seat: That's where you access such charms as the champagne cooler, automatic foldout polished-wood worktables, the polished wood grains, and $30,000 entertainment system. You can make the entire car bespoke to your color and texture preferences, if you want. Plus, it has floor mats you can sink your hand into. Compare it to the Rolls- Royce Phantom, which is another exceptional though more showy car. Choose this one to be a little more demure.

Sleeper Hit: Chevy Camaro

This is the closest Camaro has gotten to being a true sports car. The makeover comes thanks to several loans from luxury counterparts: a 455-horsepower V8 engine from the Corvette Stingray and a chassis from the Cadillac ATS.  The new front-engine, rear-wheel-drive setup, multiple drive modes, and an adjustable magnetic-ride-control suspension system make for a huge muscular upgrade, totally masculine, deafeningly fast, and solidly built. It’s more fun—and much more interesting to drive—than the new Ford Mustang. If you’re under 40 and wouldn’t normally consider it, don’t knock it before you try it.

Worth the Mid-Life Crisis: Chevy Corvette Stingray

Hear me out: Chevrolet has dropped a V8 into the rear-wheel drive ‘Vette, which gets 455 horsepower and 460 pounds-feet of torque. It’ll hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds (this is much faster than an Audi R8, Porsche 911 Carrera, or BMW M3). Top speed is 200 miles per hour. It also has a new rev-matching function, which increases shifting efficiency and finesse. But all of that is meaningless until you drive one and feel for yourself how good it is—it’s memorable unlike any other car I’ve driven. There’s a reason it has so many die-hard fans. Don’t resist.  

Not What It Seems: Rolls-Royce Wraith
