Sports car are back baby!

After years of wallowing in the back of the automotive basement sports cars are once again in vogue and front and center. That’s why we firmly believe that 2014 is the year of the sports car.

And not just inexpensive sports cars like the Subaru BRZ but the complete range of sporty cars that include hypercars, supercars, rally cars, hot hatches, muscle cars and street race cars.

Here’s just a short list of new sports cars that are available (or will soon be available) at your local car dealership.

  • McLaren P1
  • Ferrari LaFerrari
  • Porsche 918
  • Ford Mustang
  • Subaru WRX STI
  • Alfa Romeo 4C
  • Chevy Corvette Stingray and ZR-1
  • Chevy SS
  • Mazda Miata
  • BMW i8
  • BMW M4 and M235
  • Audi RS 7
  • Honda NSX
  • Jaguar F-Type
  • Lamborghini Hurcan
  • Lexus RC F
  • VW GTI and Golf R
  • SRT Challenger & Charger with the new supercharged hellcat engine
  • Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG

And that’s just a quick list that we jotted down from the top of our heads.

We know we’re missing plenty more sports cars. Please help us out. In the comments below add new sports cars that are here or on the way this year that we may have missed.

Because let’s face it in 2014 500 HP is now the new 300 HP.

We couldn’t be more thrilled and we couldn’t be more exited that 2014 is the year of the sports car.
