Emotion is what supercar buyers are looking for.
Almost as important to these deep-pocketed shoppers as ridiculous power and track-ready performance are the sleek looks that tell the world what they just bought.
The NSX delivers on all counts, though the brand can’t claim the cachet of its rivals.
The Audi R8 is getting older but is aging well, offering the seductive sound of a V-10 and daily-driver livability.
The Porsche 911 Turbo looks largely the same as ever but is perhaps the most well-rounded, buttoned-down car of the bunch.
The Chevrolet Corvette? It’s a stunning value that happens to drop supercar looks and performance all for less than half what its rivals cost.
