10 Overrated Sports Cars From The 2010s

Over the years, some really brilliant sports car blessed their existence. Some of these include timeless beings like the magical Toyota MR2, Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette making his 2024 revival worth the wait. No longer a Ferrari killer, but a great man of his time. That said, in a sea of ​​extraordinary cars, there are some underrated sports cars and some overrated. Let me clear up one possible misunderstanding up front. Just because a car is overrated doesn't necessarily mean it's not a great piece of automotive ingenuity. The only big problem is that it is perceived a lot more than it actually is. Without further ado, let's take a look at the most overrated sports cars of the 2010s.

10/10 Nissan R35 GT-R

If you were to go back to 2008 when the Nissan R53 GT-R was released, it wouldn't deserve to be on this list. After all, that his 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, one of his best V6 engines ever, produced his 485 horsepower. The GT-R's power he jumped to 600 horsepower in 2018, but it still wasn't much better than his original 2008 R35 GT-R.

If you're betting on men, you're betting money on why JDM fanatics overestimate the GT-R. The original Skyline GT-R, like the R32, revolutionized the sports car realm, but the R35 only evolved with it, without advancing the world.

9/10 Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86

Again, the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ are both great choices for first-time drivers craving a fun car, but the persona Gearhead creates is nothing short of an exaggeration. Both of these cars' naturally aspirated 4-bangers came in just under his 200 horsepower, but too many fans see these cars as proper high-speed sports cars.

0-60 mph happens in a miserable 7.6 seconds. This is much slower than its appearance would make you believe. The Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ are great affordable driver's cars, but they're not as benevolent as some people claim unless they're modified in some way such as adding forced induction.

8/10 Ferrari 488 GTB

Ferrari never fails to live up to expectations, and the 488 GTB did not disappoint in terms of performance or hurt your eyes. But it had a great predecessor, Ferrari, and the best modern creation to leave Maranello, the Ferrari 458 Italia.

The Ferrari 488 breaks with tradition as the first mid-engined Ferrari with a turbocharged engine, reducing driver involvement. The Ferrari 488 GTB remains an amazingly fast prancing horse, but no matter how impressive the spec sheet may be, the 458 will forever be in the spotlight.

7/10 Lotus Evora

All Lotus cars embody the same overall persona. A light but strong chassis, a small engine at low revs and handling like a go-kart. Evora has beaten nearly all of them, but most of them continue to be admired.

When released in 2012, the Evora's naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine produced 276 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Despite sounding more than adequate for a Lotus, the Evora weighed in at a whopping 3,214 pounds. Although light for a sports car, the Evora is one of the heaviest Lotus sports cars ever built.

6/10 Porsche Cayman GT4

The Porsche Cayman GT4 is one of the best track-focused Porsche sports cars ever. But let's be honest, Porsche eventually outdid themselves. What does this mean?

Some people still refuse to acknowledge the existence of the Cayman GT4 RS and are too narrow-minded to realize that the 911 GT3 is a much better purchase than the Cayman GT4. The Cayman GT4 was great in its day, but ultimately fell out of favor with the rest of Porsche's line-up. RELATED: 10 Reasons Why Porsche Is The Best Car Maker Ever

5/10 BMW i8

Yes it is gorgeous. Yes, its doors go up like a supercar. But it's not. It's nowhere near winning the supercar title. The BMW i8's hybrid powertrain consists of a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder engine sourced from Mini and his three electric motors that produce a total of 357 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque.

In the real world, 4.4 seconds is enough to send the BW i8 from drilling to 60 mph. That's longer than it would take his BMW F10 M5, the ultimate his $35,000 sleeper bargain, to do the same.

4/10 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Much like the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ, affordability turns a blind eye to the truth. Hyundai His Genesis is surprisingly good at driving, but much slower than many believe.

At its most powerful trim level, the Genesis Coupe is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 that produces around 300 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. This may sound impressive on paper, but Hyundai his Genesis Coupe takes about 6.5 seconds to do his 0-60 mph...

3/10 BMW M4

Right now, it's arguably the most controversial entry on today's list, the original BMW M4. The M4 is rear-wheel drive and its 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine makes 431 horsepower at stock, so it's still one of the most popular drift platforms in the world, but it's still a car. It is over-hyped by the industry. .

The BMW M4 is one of the most reliable BMWs ever built, but it's still heavily hyped for its uneducated young fans. There's no denying the BMW M4 is a great car, but there are countless options that are as good or better than the M4, including the V8-equipped Mercedes-AMG C63 and the more versatile Audi RS5.

2/10 Acura NSX

There's only one reason to call the resurrected Acura NSX an overrated supercar. His original NSX was a huge success and remains an icon in Japanese automotive history.

Instead of adopting the same naturally aspirated V6 as the original NSX, its latest version included a turbocharged V6 and three electric motors that put out 573 hp and 476 lb-ft of torque. His 0-60 time in the hybrid supercar was 3.1 seconds, but not the same recipe his original NSX used.

1/10 Nissan 370Z

Again, the Nissan 370Z wasn't a bad car per se, but it didn't do anything revolutionary. We expected the 307Z to be the successor to his 350Z, but instead received what appeared to be a minor his facelift to the 350Z.

The 370Z Nismo was too similar to the base model 370Z. Oh, and don't start with an outdated interior... honestly, save your money and get a 350Z, or use the extra cash to upgrade to a new Nissan Z. Source: Ultimatespecs.com
