The

Supercar World Cup: ZR1, DBS, GTR, 911 Turbo

With the real World Cup far behind us, we thought we would host our own world challenge, minus the annoying horns. Okay, yes, the cars do have horns in them, but none of them could be worse than those vuvuzelas.

We took four cars from four different countries in a serious attempt to see which country produced the best performance machine, and to give some self esteem back to the countries that were knocked out of the football tournament. We gave it our all to get four vehicles that were similar in mostly every way. Performance, power, styling, driving dynamics, and build quality inside and out were all examined with a fine tooth comb.

So, it was off to the car dealers to grab our wheels for the test. From the good old United States we have the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, America’s most powerful and most ostentatious sports car. From the fatherland, we have the classic Porsche 911, but this one has a turbo up its backside. From the land of the rising sun, we have the technical wonder, the Nissan GTR. Finally, from our home land, the United Kingdom, we have James Bond’s preferred choice, the Aston Martin DBS.

Let the games begin.

This test won’t be an easy one and we’re not going to be tackling that track either. Like taking a defensive back and having him play as the main striker, we will be taking these cars out of their element and putting them on the real roads, full of more dips and bumps than a teenager’s face. Believe us, it won’t be as fun as power sliding around a corner, but in the name of science, we are willing to make that sacrifice.
