Every 2023 Luxury Sports & Performance Car Ranked from Best to Worst

If money is no object, you might as well have the fastest, best-performing vehicle possible right? All of these cars are showpieces, and many would probably be more at home on a racetrack than a city street.

In fact, the cheapest of these (the Toyota Supra) starts at $43,290. Prices for all quickly rise if you chose anything other than the base model (most versions sold aren’t the base model). The majority are around $100,000. If you are more budget-conscious, then you might be better off looking at our non-luxury Sports & Performance ranking. In the meantime, you can always, browse, hope, and dream…

We rank 13 luxury sports & performance cars from best to worst by combining their ratings on driving performance, standard features, design, and value.

13. 2023 Nissan GT-R

The 2023 Nissan GT-R is as powerful as they come. With up to 600 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque, this speedster seems more at home on the racetrack than city streets. Unfortunately, the only “luxury” part of the GT-R is the price. All that engine power comes at a premium price over $116K, but the interior materials and features don’t match that of other competitors. A better equipped and more luxurious Porsche, for instance, can be had for cheaper.

12. 2023 Jaguar F-Type

The 2023 Jaguar F-Type is as sleek and stylish as ever. Even more good news is that some more advanced safety features are now standard for 2023. However, the infotainment system is unintuitive, and we found the seats uncomfortable. The seats! Of a sports car! It’s a shame because the F-Type is particularly exhilarating to drive, otherwise.

11. 2023 Lexus LC

To call the interior of the Lexus LC luxurious is actually probably an understatement. Finishes are top-tier, and all the expensive tech that you could want is available (even if it is distracting sometimes). The roomy interior is filled out with spacious and comfortable seats. And when it comes to handling, the LC floats down the road without a care in the world.

10. 2023 Acura NSX

The 2023 Acura NSX is speedy with a newly improved suspension for this final model year. Acura should be commended for improving the driving dynamics, but they could have also paid a little bit more attention to the interior. The cabin is comfortable, but the infotainment input demands all your attention (when it should be focused on the road ahead). There are also few options for buyers to customize their NSX the way that is just right for them.

9. 2023 Audi R8

How many other vehicles have a V10 engine? The 2023 Audi R8 has powerful engine options and exceptional handling. The interior is also upscale enough to match this price point. But all those fancy things come at a fancy price. In fact, it’s one of the most expensive offerings on this list. The R8 also has fewer options than other competitors. It is the final model year for the R8.

8. 2023 Audi TT

The Audi TT’s sweeping dome design is iconic the world over. However, thanks to slowing sales, Audi has announced that this third generation will be the last and that it will be replaced with an electric vehicle in the near future. In the meantime, the 2023 TT has all the state-of-the-art tech a driver could want in the cockpit, but the actual driving dynamics don’t stand out in the class anymore. Also, forget about using those tiny back seats.

7. 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT

There is a 4-door “coupe” offering. We’ll skip over that (because…huh?) and stick to talking about the true coupe. If you’re pondering about a GT purchase, this is the one you want anyway. There are an array of powerful engines to choose from, the handling almost reads your mind, and this may be our favorite interior of any car in the class. The interior design is simply superb.

6. 2023 BMW Z4

After a three-year absence, the Z4 is back and better looking than ever! The front end is aggressive and the deep front fender vents are sporty. Even though it’s a two-seater, the interior cabin is spacious and well-appointed. As one of our lower-scoring BMWs, however, we found that the Z4 doesn’t have particularly athletic handling, which we found puzzling given its coupe size.

5. 2022 Toyota Supra

After being missing in action for 20 years, the Toyota Supra came back with a vengeance in 2020! The 2023 Supra has great handling, strong engines, and good fuel economy. The sporty exterior is also eyecatching and fun. Once inside, however, visibility is limited because of small windows. Because it’s sporty, it sits low, which also makes it a little difficult to get in and out of. This year it comes with a retuned suspension and steering.

4. 2023 BMW 8-Series

The 8-Series returns in 2023 with a refreshed exterior and a Standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, no matter which model you choose. Prefer solid handling? Go for the coupe. Need a more spacious back seat? Opt for the Gran Coupe (pictured here). Like the open air? There’s a convertible option. The downside? The 8 is expensive, and even some cheaper 5- and 7-series models are more decked out.

3. 2022 Porsche Taycan

The 2023 Porsche Taycan’s luxurious interior is straightforward, instantly useable, and features high-class finishes. The cabin is spacious and comfortable. The electric motors are powerful, and the handling is sublime. It truly is our pick for the most fun vehicle to drive (take that Tesla)! It also has incredible range of up to 246 miles. It’s easily a top choice if you are considering an electric car, and it starts at $86,700.

2. 2023 Chevrolet Corvette

The Chevrolet Corvette returns this year, bringing back the Z06 trim with it. Also offered, is the 70th Anniversary Special Edition. Unlike many sports cars, there’s actually a useable trunk (in the non-convertible model), comfy seats that hug driver and passenger, and plenty of power to go around (it reaches up to 670 hp!). The incredible handling also makes us wonder why Chevy is keeping it all to the Corvette and not incorporating it into other models.

1. 2023 Porsche 911

Like most Porsches, the 911 is a joy to drive. It features outstanding handling, powerful engines, and an upscale interior this is as intuitive as it is comfortable. Yes, the back seats are cramped, but just leave the kids at home. Porsche also has good reliability scores, so you’re making a good investment when you’re plopping down this much money for a new car.
