The results of the Autoexpress 'Driver's car of the year'.
I'm only giving the top three as the whole twenty would only complicate the discussion.
1st : Audi R8v10
2nd : Porsche Cayman S
3rd : Porsche 997Mk2 GT3
I'm not 100% sure I would place the Cayman ahead of the GT3 but I do understand why they did it. The GT3 isn't that enjoyable on the road in comparison to how it feels on the track, it's very stiff and unless you are 100% committed every time you drive it there is not much pleasure to be had. The is very different to the Cayman, it's a hoot either on or off the track and the ride is exceptional for a car with it's caliber of handling.
The same is true for the R8, it's probably the best true supercar that one could enjoy everywhere that doesn't come with compromises. The reason I think they placed it first is that unlike the Cayman it IS a proper supercar yet it's as easy to drive as what the Cayman is, that kind of thing is generally unheard of.
