Smile Sports Cars of the Future

Sports Cars of the Future - New and Future Cars

In this time of hybrid and electric overload, we have one simple question: What’s to become of the sports car? We gaze into the future to find out.

By the R&T Staff


Slideshow >>
Up First >>


Not only has the death of the sports car been greatly exaggerated, it’s a baldfaced lie. As testament to the health of the species, we offer a look at near-future cars such as the Über-hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder Concept and baby Boxster, the Corvette C7, the Ferrari F70, the outrageous 1000-bhp Hennessey Venom GT and much more.
Select a sports car below for more information:




2013 Porsche “New 356”



2013 Porsche 918 Spyder



2013 Chevrolet Corvette C7



2014 Audi R4 e-Tron



2015 BMW Vision Supercar



2014 Nissan GT-R



2014 Alfa Romeo Spider



2011 Hennessey Venom GT



2014 Dodge Demon



2012 Ferrari F70



2012 Porsche 911



2013 Jaguar XE



2012 Mazda RX-7



2013 Lotus Elise



2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302/Boss 302 Laguna Seca





The latest 5.0-liter Mustang GT is truly fantastic, but we can’t help thinking it could somehow be better.
If only it had more power, aero tweaks, less sound deadening, optional Recaro seats, and a race-prepped suspension.
Oh, and an extra-hard-core variant with no rear seats and an even racier chassis setup.
What? That perfectly describes the 444-hp 2012 Mustang Boss 302 and Boss 302 Laguna Seca.
Sweet. More sweetness: The Boss even has an optional track mode, which alters throttle sensitivity,
cam timing, and more, and it’s activated by a Cold War–style red key. Did we mention the car looks great?

I like `it , what do you think

I don't know if we'll ever see a "retro" looking return of the Pinto. But the electric sportscar, the Tesla, kicks a$$.

Agreed. The Tesla is awesomeeeeeee. Wish I could afford one

As for my sports car of the future, I got a few plans that involve some radical custom designs

The porsche 918 concept is how I want the future of cars to be.
