2nd place: Porsche 911 Carrera S PDK (52/60 points, 87 %)
The 911 is still the best mixture of comfort and sportiness. This particular testcar was 1,4 s slower around the HHR as the Supertested one was with PCCB, sport suspension and 10 mm wider rear wheels. Also, it's only second fastest in this comparison...

1st place: Corvette C7 Stingray (57/60 points, 95 %)
On the track the new Stingray is on the same level with the previous Z06 model. Fantastic power-and-performance-to-price ratio. Negativum: the manual gearbox of this pre-production testcar was far from precise.
Acceleration with only driver and less fuel: 0-100 km/h in 4,3 s, 0-200 km/h in 14,2 s.
