Best-Performing Cars of the Year

In case you missed out on the reports, these are a few of the top performance cars for 2015.

Scion FR-S

The Scion has a 200-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder Boxer engine and comes attached to manual or paddle-shifted automatic 6-speed transmissions. Its maximum torque is 151 lb-ft and goes from 0 to 60 in 6.8 seconds. While these numbers are not impressive, what is impressive about the FR-S is how it handles a turn at 60 mph.

Porsche Cayman GTS

The Cayman GTS gets 340-hp from its 3.4-liter flat 6-cylinder engine. It comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, though you can opt for the seven-speed paddle-shift dual clutch gearbox. The GTS' top speed is 177 mph and goes 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds. The Cayman is the sports car driver's sports car.

Nissan GT-R

This car is fast and powerful, bringing top-flight performance at a price of just over $100K. It goes from 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds, launched by 545-hp and 463 lb-ft torque from a 3.8 liter V6. All wheel drive with a six-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox is the only way to harness so much energy in a usable manner.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT

The SLS line is on its way out, and it went out with a bang. It raised its previous output to a whopping 622-hp and 468 lb-ft of torque from a 6.2-liter V8. Top speed has fallen to a respectable 192 mph, but makes up for it in improved grip and more stability at high speeds.
