13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.

13 Most Iconic F1 Cars of All Time

There’s street racing, there’s NASCAR, and then there’s F1. F1 courses are notably more technical than other close-circuit courses, and F1 cars are a beast well-prepared for that burden. F1 cars travel well over 200mph and cost millions of dollars to build. Traveling at 220mph and navigating technical terrain means making immediate decisions, and the car has to respond instantaneously. But not all F1 cars are created equally, either. Over the years, there have been some shining-star examples of how an F1 build should be done. Here are the 13 most iconic F1 cars of all time, not because they cost the most money, have particular specs, or because they look the cleanest, but because they crushed their season.

Here’s the thing. Since 1963, McLaren has built a name for itself as a top-tier track-focused performance car automaker, annihilating its European competitors like Ferrari and Lamborghini on and off the track. As such, the appropriate thing to say is not cheap but attainable. These are the McLaren models (used and new) that fall under the bracket of ‘affordable’ supercars (we tweaked the title to avoid any confusion). We’ve also included the average price and reasons why they’d be considered affordable, even though they carry an emblem synonymous with premium automotive performance excellence.
