10 Sports Cars That Forever Changed Their Segments (HotCars)

10 Mazda MX-5 Miata · 9 Tesla Roadster · 8 McLaren F1 · 7 Lamborghini Miura · 6 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 · 5 BMW 2002 Turbo · 4 Porsche 911 · 3 Pagani Zonda.

[like the R33 Nissan GT-R](https://www.hotcars.com/heres-how-much-a-1995-r33-nissan-skyline-gt-r-costs-today/#:~:text=For%20an%20intact%20model%2C%20the,is%20a%20rather%20wide%20range.) in a straight line, but around the bends, the Acura gripped like there was no tomorrow. The Hond Integra Type R was one of the very few cars that proved front-wheel-drive cars can be just as fun as rear-wheel-drive ones. To this day, these German sports cars remain the standard of the high-end sports car segment. The C12 Zonda was first got unveiled to the world back in 1999, and since then Pagani has followed the exact same recipe for all of its predecessors, even with Sure, we all are used to the 911 being a spectacular car nowadays, but it's all thanks to the first-ever 911 built. [Ford Model A](https://www.hotcars.com/ford-model-a-classic-worth-today/#:~:text=Finally%2C%20Fair%20Condition%20has%20a,Model%20A%20is%20approximately%20%2419%2C800.), the [Tesla Cybertruck](https://www.hotcars.com/tesla-cybertruck-interior/), and the [Pontiac GTO](https://www.hotcars.com/1974-pontiac-ventura-gto-cost-today/#:~:text=If%20you're%20keen%20on,for%20around%20%2422%2C000%20to%20%2428%2C000.). The purpose of the all-electric sports car was to prove to the world that electric cars don't just have to be boring commuter cars, they can be fun, attractive forms of enjoyment too. So far, all of this sounds rather mundane, especially when compared to modern-day Lamborghinis, but keep in mind, this was the late '60s. In 1998, a few years after its release to the public, the McLaren F1 shattered the production car top speed record with a clocked-in number of 243 mph. It encompassed a naturally-aspirated 6.1-liter BMW-built V12 engine which had to undergo an obscene amount of tests and upgrades to allow it to handle the 618 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Not only is the MX-5 Miata the best-selling convertible sports car of all time, but it's one of the best sports cars a first-time buyer can get their hands on.
