Performance cars offer lots of driving excitement, so much so that they can sometimes invite poor decisions by tempting you to go faster than the law allows. The end result? Speeding tickets at the very least, and accidents at the very worst. It's no surprise, then, that performance two-doors have steep insurance rates — these models dominate our list of the 10 coupes with the highest insurance expense for 2010.
Our list includes everything from domestic metal like the Chevrolet Corvette to German powerhouses like the Audi R8 and BMW M6. All rankings are based on five-year projections generated by the Edmunds data team. Each model's ranking reflects that of the trim level that's most expensive to insure.
