EVO Car of the Year 2013 Results-Nice Company
From the November issue-added four days ago:
1st: Porsche GT3
2. Ferrari F12
3. Merc SLS Black
4. Aston V12 Vantage S
5. Audi R8 V10 Plus
6. MINI JCW GP!
"This car proves why we should always give hot hatches the chance to shine against super cars on eCoty, said Deaden, and I couldn't agree more. Everyone had a tale of struggling to hang on to the exhaust pipes of the GP or failing to shake its massive nostril from the rear-view mirror. But it wasn't just quick: it was involving too. No hot hatch in my experience has been set up with such an unflinching focus on response and agility, to the point where you need to treat it with as much respect as something with rear-drive and 500 bhp, Dickie added. Jethro was so smitten he was almost tempted to make it his winner: On flowing roads with lots of third and fourth gear corners it's exceptionally adjustable and so precise. It takes no prisoners in the wet but that's the way a really focused front-driver should be. And if you're about to quibble on price (28,000 pounds), Vivian has a way to justify that: Look at it this way: you could have a whole one-make race series for the price of one F12 and the Ferrari still wouldn't be able to shake off the GP on a twisty road. Man-maths or not, the Mini is a very special little car. Like the Cayman before it, sixth seems a poor reward."
7. Porsche Cayman S
8. Alpha Romeo 4C
