Road & Track 2013 Performance Car of the Year | Corvette Stingray

Road & Track today announced its first-ever “Best Cars” list, distinguishing the best new automobiles and trucks of the year. The honorees will be recognized in the December 2013/January 2014 issue, on newsstands November 19. Among the winners, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette has been named Road & Track’s Performance Car of the Year.

To select the Corvette, the editors tested 13 of the world’s hottest sports cars on challenging mountain roads and on The Motown Mile, Road & Track’s private circuit. A knockout formula whittled the field down to six from which one winner prevailed.

“We selected the Corvette because it represents an incredible achievement: Not only is it wickedly fast, it’s now also a delight to drive on the challenging, twisty roads that used to be the car’s nemesis,” said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. “Plus, it’s a real bargain and looks fantastic.”
