600LT

McLaren is known for making cars that are preternaturally quick, and the 600LT is perfectly equipped to deliver on this promise. Available solely as a convertible, this supercar gets its muscle from a meaty V-8 that churns out a prodigious 592 horsepower. The automaker claims that's enough to get the 600LT from zero to 60 mph in less than three seconds. The car's high points include a truly organic steering feel and a playful, frisky disposition. The cabin looks appropriately high end, but it's missing driver-assistance features that are commonly offered by vehicles that cost a lot less than this quarter-million-dollar driving machine. Still, if your focus is on pure performance, you'll likely be very happy with the swift, eye-catching 600LT.
