4 Best Sports Cars for the Money (Pt.2)




2017 McLaren 570GT: $ 198,950
Two hundred thousand dollars sounds like a lot of money, even for a sports car, but one drive in the McLaren 570GT will have you raiding your retirement fund for the opportunity to live with this amazing vehicle. Unlike many supercars, the 570GT is actually civilized and easy to drive and live with, with standard air conditioning, navigation, audio and phone connectivity running through a centrally-mounted touchscreen. There are even 13 cubic feet of storage space onboard, between the front trunk and behind the seats, for those Costco runs.

2016 Porsche Boxster: $ 52,100
As the least expensive point of entry into the Porsche universe, the Boxster is sometimes dismissed as a toy Porsche. But that's a mistake. The Boxster is an exciting mid-engine roadster with brilliant handling, swift performance and all-day comfort. Without the extra weight, complexity and six-figure price tag of the 911, the Boxster is a flickable, lively companion that will have you looking for a twisty way home. Toss in another $ 14,300 for a Boxster S ($ 68,400), and you can shave a half-second off of your 0-60 scoot.

2016 Scion FR-S: $ 25,305 / 2016 Subaru BRZ: $ 25,395
Co-developed by Toyota and Subaru, the FR-S and BRZ are mechanical doubles with minor cosmetic differences. The front-engine / rear-wheel drive two-seater borrows from the Miata formula, with modest power in a beautifully balanced chassis. Handling is this sporty car's strength, and it comes standard with a silky-smooth, 6-speed manual transmission. A raft of go-fast, bolt-on accessories will keep you and your budget engaged. FR-S will survive the demise of Scion to be reborn as the Toyota 86 for 2017, which means there will still be two excellent versions of this sports car available.

2016 Volkswagen Golf R: $ 35,650
Volkswagen has birthed the hot hatch with the 1976 GTI, and there's a very good GTI in the lineup for 2016. But there's a great Golf R in the same lineup, a sports car that outdoes the GTI's front-wheel drive, turbocharged 210-horsepower 4 -cylinder engine with 292-hp turbo, 4MOTION all-wheel drive, and 6-speed DSG automatic transmission. Volkswagen entices drivers to "unleash the monster inside," and the Golf R responds with rip-snorting performance and fly-paper grip. Premium features ensure that this is no econobox. The Golf R is a true sports car.

Transverse Vs Longitudinal Engines: The Pros And Cons

The way in which an engine is orientated can have a huge influence on the rest of a car’s design. Should the car be rear-wheel drive? What size of engine is expected? Are there space issues that could influence which way the engine lies? All these questions have to be answered by the engineers responsible for the car, as the powertrain setup can have a large impact on how the car goes, handles and stops. Looking at front-engined cars, the two possible orientations are longitudinal and transverse, with each having its own benefits and drawbacks that can govern which is chosen for the car at hand. In-light of this engineering decision, here’s a basic guide to the features of each engine layout and which is best for different applications. Transverse engines Transverse engines are mounted perpendicularly to the direction of travel, lying horizontally within the engine bay. This is predominantly used in front-engined, front-wheel drive setups but has also been implemented i

How Twin-clutch Transmission Works (DSG)

The dual-clutch transmission, also known as the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) or twin-clutch transmission, is an automated transmission that can change gears faster than any other geared transmission. Dual clutch transmissions deliver more power and better control than conventional automatic transmission and faster performance than manual transmission. Originally marketed by Volkswagen as the DSG and Audi as the S-Tronic, dual-clutch transmissions are now offered by several automakers, including Ford, Mitsubishi, Smart, Hyundai and Porsche. DRIVING A CAR WITH A TWIN-CLUTCH / DSG TRANSMISSION. Twin-clutch equipped cars do not have a clutch pedal; the clutch is engaged and disengaged automatically. The twin-clutch transmissions bridge uses an automatic-style shift selector with a traditional P-R-N-D or P-R-N-D-S (Sport) shift pattern. In "Drive" or "Sport" mode, the dual-clutch transmission operates as a regular automatic. In "Drive" mode, the transmission
