2021 World Performance Car
Porsche 911 Turbo
When you think of performance, you think Porsche. The 911 Turbo was chosen from an initial entry list of nine cars, and then a shortlist of three finalists were announced on March 30th. These were: Audi RS Q8, Porsche 911 Turbo and the Toyota GR Yaris.
With a 0-62mph time of 2.8 secs, 750 Nm of torque and a top speed of 199 mph – there has been no compromises for this sports car. Incredible performance has been matched with comfort to be fully suitable for everyday use. This is a big victory for Porsche.
2021 World Urban Car
Honda e
Before we mention how good the Honda e is… just look at it. It’s a thing of beauty.
Anyway, lets not get side-tracked. Honda has hit the ball out of the park with the e, producing something that drives, handles and rides well, looks a million dollars and, crucially, is an appealing car in its own right. The Honda e came out on top to beat the Honda Jazz/Fit and the Toyota Yaris.
2021 World Car of the Year
Volkswagen ID.4
