Most Wanted Exotic

Aston Martin Vanquish Winner: Aston Martin Vanquish

"Martin…Aston Martin." Pulling the James Bond shtick whenever you feel like it may be reason enough to spend $235,000 for an Aston Martin Vanquish. If not, consider this exotic's more subtle attributes. An Ian Callum-designed body that manages to break new ground while remaining elegant and classic. A 6.0-liter V12 that's good for 450 horsepower and 190 mph. A 0-to-100-mph time in less than 10 seconds. A Formula One-inspired transmission that foregoes the clutch pedal and uses fingertip controls to shift in 250 milliseconds. OK, not exactly subtle features, but the world's most popular secret agent can't be wrong.


Honorable Mention: Porsche 911 GT2

Between liquid cooling, a two-seater named "Boxster" and what some see as a blatantly blasphemous SUV, many Porschephiles have begun to question the company's motives…and soul. But the 911 GT2 is solid proof that Porsche can still design a "real sports car." With 456 horsepower lurking behind the seats and no all-wheel-drive system to rescue racer wanna-bes, this Porsche offers all the thrills, and potential spills, of 911s from a bygone era. Expect zero to 60 in about 4 seconds, a top speed approaching 200 mph and the local constabulary to have your driver license number memorized.
