EVO shortlists its 2011 Car of the Year w/Poll
EVO shortlists its 2011 Car of the Year
There's no shortage of automotive publications seeking to crown their own Car of the Year. And of course, each has their own criteria on which to base their decision. But for performance parameters, Evo does a more impressive job than most.
The British car mag does away with the minivans and the crossovers and focuses only on high performance machinery – regardless of price point – so when it comes down to naming the Evo Car of the Year, they have no trouble assembling the best driving machines that have come out in the past twelve months. Naming just one winner, though, is another matter entirely.
This year, the Evo team brought the very best the industry has to offer down to Portugal's Portimao circuit, and the crop of nominees was something to behold:
Aston Martin V8 Vantage S
BMW 1 Series M Coupe
BMW M5
Ferrari FF
Jaguar XKR-S
Lamborghini Aventador
Lotus Elise CR
McLaren MP4-12C
Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
Porsche Cayman R
Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy
You'll have to pick up the latest issue to find out which driving machine won out over such distinguished rivals, but we'll ask you: Based on what you know about these cars, which do you think should win?

Lamborghini Aventador would be it. First all new V12 in half a century, a massive V12 offered as all other manufacturers are going to small displacement boosted motors, 700 hp, amazing AWD technology, and its the first new big V12 Lambo in 9 years. I think the Mc Laren would be the very close runner up imho.

I think most would agree that the FF is ground breaking territory for Ferrari but the "shooting break" design sjould have died in the 60's. The AWD system is awesome but an AWD platform at Ferrari just seems a bit odd. The GT3RS 4.0 is an an amazing a pure machine that probably connects the driver to the road better than most sports cars on the market, but the fact still remains that the car is old and represents the swan song for the current generation 911. Its kind of like a Lambo Murcielago SV.....just not as pretty
