Performance Car of the Year 2010

Performance Car of the Year 2010

Our special counts down 2010’s hottest new cars vying for our PCOTY title.

We reveal the top 20 best new performance cars released over the past year in our exclusive Performance Car Of The Year (PCOTY) countdown. Click on the play button below to watch the video to find out what came where.

Our line up of performance cars includes offerings from Ferrari, Mercedes, Audi and BMW but there are also hot cars from the likes of Volkswagen, Peugeot, Renault and Honda. To come up with our final ranking, each car was rated by our road test team for how desirable they are, how good they are on the road and what they are like on a track. Every model was timed round our testing ground – the Anglesey Racing Circuit in Wales. You can watch these individual lap time videos by clicking on the “More Performance Car of the Year” drop down menu on the top right hand corner of this page.
