21 cars, SUVs, and EVs vie for the honor of being declared the best high-performance vehicle of the year. Here's how we made this year's sausage.
It's not just new venues and alternate weighting of our key criteria. In only its second year, we still don't know what the absolute best format is yet. Like any other OTY, it begins with instrumented testing on the ultimate closed course: an automotive proving ground. But rather than beginning our subjective evaluations there, as we do with other OTYs, or on real-world roads, as we did last year, this year we headed straight to the track.
Not because we didn't go fast and not because none of the cars was expensive , but because our judges took their jobs seriously and kept their driving clean. No one stuffed a car. No one spun out. No one admitted to even dropping a wheel, though the dirt and rocks that turned up at the apex of Turn 4 didn't get there by themselves. There were a lot of ways this whole thing could've gone literally sideways, but it didn't.
Drifting, like lapping, can be hard on a car. Exhibit A occurred when the Lamborghini suddenly went into limp mode. We called out a technician, who diagnosed an apparently rare and unusual sensor failure in the rear steering system. Thus ensued a great number of phone calls, text messages, DMs, and emails as we sorted out a replacement car on extremely short notice. If you notice the Huracán Tecnica magically changes colors in the pictures featured in this package, that's why.
