The 2010 Porsche 911's terrific performance and looks are nearly unmatched.

The most powerful Chevrolet Corvette ever, the 638-horsepower ZR1, comes close, but depends on displacement to get there, giving it a heavier, more hair-raising feel.

The Jaguar XKR nearly hits the 911's target with a tremendously sexy profile, a much more lavish interior, and this year, a throaty 510-hp V-8 to help make its case.

Within the VW Group alone, the 911 has the Audi R8 in its rearview mirror; the V-10-powered sports car grips with all-wheel-drive tenacity, looks like nothing else, and drops its lid this year in a new Spyder body style.

9 The 2010 Porsche 911 is an icon-as much for its teardrop shape, as for its startling performance.	9.2 The 2010 Audi R8 brings the expected Germanic, technical appeal to the supercar arena-but it's the imported Italian V-10 that reveals some true lust in its heart.	8.8 Stupendously fast yet amazingly practical, the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette is the supercar you can live with.	9.4 Brilliant from the drawing table down to the tarmac, the 2010 Jaguar XK and XKR have ripened into full sports car adulthood.
