The 2018 Porsche 718 has few rivals outside its own showroom.
In top trims, the 718’s price rivals a new 911, but we’re smitten with the 718’s performance.
It’s just that good now.
The Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class is old and may not rival the 718 in many respects, outside of performance in SLC43 AMG models.
The Audi TT isn’t the same kind of performer in most trims, but can be more comfortable for daily drives if cargo room is a must.
The Chevrolet Corvette is a jackhammer compared to the 718’s scalpel, but it’s a value supercar in top trims.
The Nissan 370Z lacks the finesse and poise of the 718, but also lacks the sky-high price tag.
