Overview
There’s no mistaking the GR Supra coupe’s sports car intentions. From its rakish double-bubble roof to its sculptured flanks and posterior, and from its standard 382-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine to its six-speed manual transmission, it’s clear the GR Supra is all about performance and driver involvement. Built alongside the BMW Z4 convertible, the Supra’s swoopy styling hews to a more modern and lively aesthetic than its Bavarian cousin, but the rest of the car utilizes the engine and most of the mechanical bits from the BMW. Although most drivers will find enough interior room, it can be tight for drivers on the larger side—but that’s true of competitors like the Nissan Z and Lotus Emira too. But even if the Supra requires you to fold yourself in an ungainly manner to enter, those gymnastics will be but a distant memory as soon as the road opens, your eyes find the next turn, and you dip into the prodigious power for a little motorized me time.

2026 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray
Overview Chevrolet casts the 2026 E-Ray as the Corvette you can drive in all four seasons, but its all-wheel-drive traction and electrified powertrain have another, more impressive talent: beastly acceleration. With a 6.2-liter V-8 burbling behind the cabin and an electric motor spinning the front axle, the E-Ray boasts a combined 655 horsepower. That’s less…
2026 Aston Martin Vantage
Overview While most manufacturers toil in a perpetual cycle of new-model creation, Aston Martin traditionally moves at a pace befitting a producer of limited-edition, hand-hewn classics. Count us impressed, then, with the arrival of the 2026 Aston Martin Vantage roadster. Appearing hot on the heels—for Aston, anyway—of the revised-for-2025 Vantage coupe, this soft-top convertible ramps…
