4 Sports Car Brands With Low Price Points
Chevrolet Camaro 1LT
Professionals: The Camaro seems like a game vehicle ought. It packs strong V6 and V8 motors. You can get them for under $30,000 and $40,000 individually. Adding the 1LE bundle will get you an underestimated track entertainer. Moreover, you can fit a manual transmission with each of the three motor choices.
Cons: The Mustang is better looking, and the Camaro's design gives it poor visibility. Those factors are enough to be dealbreakers for many buyers.

Horsepower: 335
Torque: 284 lb-ft
0-60 MPH: 5.2 sec

Ford Mustang
Ford's iconic Mustang has finally arrived in the UK in right-hand-drive form, and fans of the brand have been pleasantly surprised by its appealing combination of strong performance, stylish exterior design, and low price. The Mustang stands out from the crowd thanks to its distinctive appearance, which pays homage to vintage models without being overly retro.
The 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine is no longer available, and while it was somewhat less expensive to run than the V8, the latter gives the authentic Mustang feel. With an independent rear suspension that matches its performance, it is also a far more accomplished drive than previous Mustangs. In terms of practicality, the boot space is a reasonable 408 liters, and the twin rear seats are best suited to smaller children.
Powertrain: 3.7-liter; 6-speed manual
Horsepower: 300 hp @ 6,500 rpm
Torque: 280 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm
Fuel Economy: 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway
Starting Price: $25,185
BMW M240i
While enthusiasts wait for the next BMW M2, the all-new BMW M240i is a worthy stopgap. With a straight-six engine producing 369bhp and 500Nm of torque, the four-wheel drive coupe is no slouch and generates a tuneful growl that four-cylinder rivals can't hope to match. When you press the throttle, it leaps forward in the way that only a small car with a big engine can.
Rather than blunting its handling, BMW’s xDrive system is well-judged here, improving traction in slippery conditions, but without robbing the chassis of poise or a playful feel. The eight-speed automatic transmission also makes the most of the engine's low-down torque, allowing the M240i to be comfortable on longer travels.
Powertrain: 3.0-liter; 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission with automatic Sport and Manual shift modes
Horsepower: 382 @ 5800-6500
Fuel Economy: 22 mpg city, 32 mpg highway
Starting Price: $47,900
Aston Martin DB11
The DB11 coupe is an example of how Aston Martin is extending out with fresh models and boosting the use of its sporting cars. The DB11 does not renounce its performance roots, though; whether you choose the crackling V8 or the powerful V12 engine, it still has enough power to spare, with the V8 model capable of reaching 190mph. Its handling matches its performance, and its ride quality is impressive, making it a competent sports car.
Inside, the front seat occupants have good head and legroom as well as simple access through the huge front doors. Legroom is limited in the rear seats, so they are best suited to children or short journeys for adults. However, the boot offers a useful 270 liters, which should be enough for two adults or more.
ENGINE TYPE: twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 48-valve V-12, aluminum block and heads, port fuel injection, 8-speed automatic
Horsepower: 630 hp @ 6500 rpm
Torque: 516 lb-ft @ 1500 rpm
Fuel Economy: 15 mpg city, 22 mpg highway
Starting Price: $248,986
