10 modern sports cars that are grossly underestimated

Ask any car enthusiast which car is the best sports car and it will probably take you back in time and point you to the iconic 80s Lamborghini Countach, the most popular Ferrari 250 GTO, or the very stylish Jaguar E-Type. These are by far the most revered cars of all time, but that doesn't mean modern cars aren't worth their money.

With Hotcars, we bring you 10 underrated sports cars that have emerged in recent years. Despite the fact that they have quite strong qualities, for various reasons they have failed to impress drivers in the 21st century.

10. Cadillac CTS-V

The Cadillac CTS-V is a high-performance version of the Cadillac CTS sedan, which was also available as a two-door coupe between 2011 and 2014. The CTS may not be the brand's most exciting model, but the sporty version packs a punch, not only under the hood, but also in terms of design. It also accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3,9 seconds, which is also a remarkable figure.

9. Lexus GS

Almost every Lexus GS owner is satisfied with the performance and appearance of his car. However, this model is grossly underestimated, mainly due to the fact that it is smaller than most competitors' vehicles sold at similar prices. The new GS is unmatched in interior and performance, offering both a V8 engine and a hybrid unit.

8. Saturn Sky

The Saturn Roadster was produced for only 3 years, after which General Motors simply closed the brand. Saturn Sky is often overlooked, but it is undeserved as it offers stylish design, especially in the Red Line version. The experts who drove this car say that it is very similar in driving performance to the Chevrolet Corvette.

7.Tesla Roadster

Tesla has unveiled major technological innovations in electric vehicles, combining zero emissions with a sophisticated appearance. This is especially true of the Tesla Roadster, which also offers a rather immersive road feel. The roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3,7 seconds and reaches 200 km / h. The new model will be even faster. Unfortunately, the original isn't as good at cornering as its donor Lotus Elise, and the mileage on a single charge isn't impressive either.

6. Chevy SS

The optional SuperSport (SS) equipment level offered by Chevrolet for many models since the 1960s has appeared in some of the brand's most impressive vehicles. However, the Chevrolet SS was also called a sports sedan, which was imported into the United States by the Australian company Holden, owned by General Motors. The car was really great, but it was never accepted by the American drivers.

5. Genesis Coupe

South Korean carmaker Hyundai has echoed its 1980s Japanese rivals by creating a luxury division called Genesis. It appeared in 2015 and has produced a small number of models so far, including the Genesis Coupe. Originally a Hyundai Coupe launched in 2009, it is now an elegant rear-wheel drive vehicle. However, this failed due to its name, as the Genesis brand is still not trusted.

4.Subaru BRZ

The abbreviation BRZ in the name of this Subaru sports car means Boxer engine, rear-wheel drive plus Zenith. Quite a big name for a sports coupe that lacks the power of many rivals and does not offer impressive dynamic performance and top speed. This is why the Subaru BRZ is often underestimated by drivers, but this does not in any way affect its on-road performance.

3. Pontiac Solstice

In 2010, General Motors abandoned not only Saturn, but also another legendary brand - Pontiac. Both brands fell victim to the financial disaster of 2008. At the time, Pontiac created its Solstice sports car, a fun car that seems to have borrowed much of its design from the Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, even an attractive appearance and good technical characteristics could not save either the model or the company that produces it.

2. Mazda MX-5 Miata

The Pontiac Solstice may be more than a passing resemblance to the Mazda MX-5 Miata, but no car can take the Miata's iconic place in automotive history. The Mazda MX-5 Miata, first introduced in 1989, is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling two-seater sports car. The model is still underestimated, however, as it has a reputation for being a car designed for girls.

1.Toyota GT86

The Toyota GT86 is a two-door sports car that is part of the same project as the Subaru BRZ. Two sports coupes hit the market in 2012 and the number 86 is an important part of Toyota's history. At the same time, the brand's designers took full advantage of this by making the car's exhaust pipes with a diameter of exactly 86 mm. Unfortunately, the coupe has the same problems as the "brother" Subaru BRZ. They relate to dynamics, performance and top speed.
