Few cars can match the 2008 Porsche 911's terrific performance and looks. The Jaguar XKR comes close--with larger rear seats, an even sexier profile, and a much more lavish interior. The AMG version of Mercedes-Benz's SL roadster retains the folding hardtop and stuffs in a V-8 with 538 horsepower. The most powerful Chevrolet Corvette ever, the 638-horsepower ZR1, arrives this year as a 2009 model.
