BMW’s true two-door rival might be an AMG GT, but the two-door S-Class coupe and cabriolet are in conversation with the 8-Series, and have better back-seat accommodations.
The Audi R8’s on a lifeline in the U.S., and it’s only fitted with two seats—but the thrill of its V-10 engine is unrivaled here.
Aston’s DB11 costs considerably more and has a slightly firmer edge, while the Bentley’s twice-the-price interior is accurately reflected in its sticker.
The Acura NSX might appeal to the tech influencers who lean toward BMW too; its exotic hybrid hardware and stellar shape feel more akin to BMW’s i8 spaceship, though.
