26 of the greatest cars for corners














Motoring Research team

Handle with car

As speed limits become ever more restrictive, the fun of driving is increasingly becoming not about speed on the straights, but entertainment in the corners. Nothing illustrates this better than the original Mini – a slow car that runs rings around faster machinery through the bends, guaranteeing a smile on the face of the driver.

A more extreme interpretation has arrived in 2021 – the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s Niki Lauda hypercar. We’ll take a closer look at the T.50s ‘cornering king’, then nominate 25 other cars that place driving enjoyment above sheer speed.

These are the best cars for corners.

Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s Niki Lauda

Earlier this year, the wraps came off the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s Niki Lauda – and perfectly in line with the collection of cars here, this £3.7 million machine isn’t all about going fast. “We had no interest in achieving the ultimate lap time or creating an over-tyred and over-downforced spaceship at the expense of driver involvement,” explains Murray. Instead, the car is said to deliver “the ultimate on-track driving experience”. Music to our ears.

Just 25 T.50s Niki Laudas are planned, due after the 100 ‘standard’ (and road-legal) T.50 hypercars have been completed.

Lotus Elise

Back in the real world, the Lotus Elise is our benchmark for balletic brilliance. Launched in 1996, it has evolved steadily over the past 25 years, growing ever faster and more powerful without losing its purity of purpose. The Elise shows up just how large, heavy and over-complicated most modern cars have become. It’s a no-frills driving machine that will get under your skin faster than a hungry mosquito.

Porsche Cayman GT4

The hardcore Cayman GT4 is now into its second generation. It’s the best driver’s Porsche you can currently buy, changing direction with an immediacy that’s just the right side of hyperactive. Its compact footprint makes it perfectly-proportioned for UK roads, too. Still want that 911?

Ferrari 430 Scuderia

We could have nominated many Ferraris for this list, but the 430 Scuderia – ‘Scud’ to its friends – still stands out. With a stripped-out interior, carbon-ceramic brakes and sticky Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres, the 2007 Scuderia could lap Ferrari’s Fiorano test track as quickly as the Enzo hypercar. It’s a 510hp double espresso on wheels. Bellissima!

BMW E30 M3

The BMW M3 is almost into its sixth generation, so why do enthusiasts still hanker after the 1985-1992 original? The E30 M3 was a homologation special, a car born from BMW’s desire to go racing. That competition pedigree translates into a wonderfully responsive road car, with a dynamic finesse that later M3s lacked. Proof that more power doesn’t necessarily equal more fun.

Ford Escort RS2000

There’s a reason many rally schools still use Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts to teach the basics of rear-wheel-drive handling. Yes, these sporty saloons can often be seen going sideways – be it in McDonalds car park or a Welsh forest at night with Cibiés blazing – but they’re also reassuringly easy to control. With modest power and equally modest grip, you can have fun at any speed.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ

The GT86 and BRZ twins are perhaps the spiritual successors to the classic Escort, although they also hark back to Toyota’s rear-driven Corolla AE86. Again, these are cars you can enjoy at sensible speeds, helped by low-grip ‘eco’ tyres similar to those used on the Toyota Prius. Superb steering and brilliantly balanced handling are the highlights here.

Mazda MX-5

If you’re in the market for a GT86 or BRZ, it seems rude not to consider the MX-5. This latest, fourth-generation take on the world’s best-selling sports car is the best yet. Indeed, smaller dimensions and reduced weight remind us what made the original MX-5 so great: the simple joy of driving one. A car you experience through your fingertips and the seat of your pants, the MX-5 is a feast for the senses.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Subaru Impreza P1

Let’s shift our focus from tail-wagging rear-drivers for a while. Developed by motorsport maestros, Prodrive, the Subaru Impreza P1 is perhaps the finest road-going version of the car Colin McRae used to win the World Rally Championship. With 280hp channelled to all four wheels, it catapults out of corners with a ferocity that makes even a trip to the shops feel like a Kielder special stage.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Ford Focus RS

Bringing the Impreza P1 formula into the modern era is the previous Focus RS. Ford’s hottest hatch had trick front suspension to quell torque steer, plus the uncanny ability to make the four-wheel-drive RS feel like a rear-driven sports car. It also has something called Drift Mode, essentially a button that makes the car go sideways. What’s not to like about that?




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Nissan GT-R

The daddy of 4WD performance cars is, of course, the Nissan GT-R. This is the original supercar-slayer – the beast the Japanese call ‘Godzilla’. Unlike many rivals, however, the GT-R is also very easy to drive. Its seating position is upright, ride comfort is acceptable and the control weights won’t scare somebody more used to a Micra. For average drivers (and we include ourselves there), nothing is faster.

Ford Fiesta ST

Power to the people! Driving fun doesn’t come much more affordable than the brilliant Fiesta ST. If any car currently on sale lives up to that ‘go-kart handling’ cliché, this is it. The ST changes direction like an overexcited puppy, and you’ll do well to suppress your inner boy/girl racer behind the wheel. It’s already ranked alongside the Peugeot 205 GTI in the hot hatch hall of fame.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Renaultsport Clio 200 Cup

Did somebody mention the 205 GTI? We’ll have a Clio Cup instead, thanks. The Renault is vastly cheaper to buy than the fast-appreciating Pug, which means you won’t have any qualms about thrashing it on your favourite B-road. Choose the stiffer Cup chassis for the ultimate hardcore hatch experience – just don’t expect many creature comforts.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Honda Integra Type R

The Integra Type R is another to file under ‘front-wheel-drive legends’. Like the E30 M3 mentioned earlier, it’s a car designed for the racetrack first and the road second. Extreme weight-saving measures include thinner glass and the removal of the spare wheel cover, while a limited-slip diff ensures excellent traction. Prices for the Type R are now rising fast – a sign of the high esteem in which this homologation hero is held.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Caterham Seven

A roller skate with an engine, the Caterham Seven makes a Fiesta feel like an articulated lorry. This is driving distilled: a steering wheel the size of a Playstation controller, a manual gearbox… and not much else. Higher-spec Sevens are furiously fast, but even the three-cylinder 160 is still fabulous fun. Sevens are great track-day cars, too.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Honda NSX

The adjective ‘game-changing’ is over-used, but applies 100 percent to the Honda NSX. The New Sportscar eXperimental proved supercars don’t need to be unreliable or difficult to drive. Yet it’s just as thrilling as any Ferrari or Lamborghini when its mid-mounted VTEC V6 screams to 8,000rpm. Ayrton Senna helped develop the NSX’s chassis and his racing nous really shows on the road. It’s immediate, intuitive and, above all, wonderfully analogue.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Porsche 964 Carrera RS

You can be sure of three things when it comes to Rennsport Porsches. Firstly, they will be very expensive – even second-hand. Secondly, they will have silly fabric door handles that are supposed to save weight. And thirdly, they will be sensationally good to drive. The 1992 964 RS is our pick of the bunch. It’s a barely-disguised Carrera Cup racing car that needs to be handled with care, especially in the wet. But boy, is it exciting.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Ford Mustang V8

Ford has made Mustangs since 1965, yet they’ve always been better suited to boulevards than B-roads. That changed with the latest (2015-) ’Stang – a pony car with independent rear suspension to take on its European rivals. Granted, the Mustang is still no Lotus Elise, but if a tyre-smokin’ surfeit of grunt over grip is your thing, walk this way.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

TVR Tuscan Speed Six

If you’ve taken up smoking (of rubber, not tobacco) few products will satisfy your craving better than the TVR Tuscan Speed Six. Built from 2000-2006, this British brute had a lightweight glassfibre body and a muscular straight-six driving the rear wheels. However, the Tuscan isn’t all power and no poise; it’s an exciting and rewarding drive for those brave enough to take the plunge.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Mercedes-AMG C63 Black Series

There are few more glorious ways to use up our planet’s resources than a C63 Black Series. With motorsport-inspired suspension and a 517hp 6.2-litre V8 that sounds like God gargling, this factory-built hot rod will make you giggle like a seven-year-old on a bouncy castle. Actually, the bouncy castle is a bad analogy because the ‘Black’ feels utterly glued to the road. Unless you unstick it with the throttle, of course…




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Honda Prelude

One of the giants of motoring journalism, LJK Setright, was a big fan of the Honda Prelude. Asked what he’d include in his dream garage, Setright said: “I would select the four-wheel steer Prelude, simply because no other car is as nice to drive. Wanting nothing but the very best, one would have to import the Japanese version of the VTEC, equipped with automatic transmission and limited-slip differential.”




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Citroen Xantia Activa

An old Citroen with complex, computer-controlled suspension? What could possibly go wrong? But find an Activa in good working order and it remains a thing of wonder. Hydraulic rams eliminate body-roll altogether, while also reducing squat and dive when accelerating and braking. The result is slightly unnerving at first, but your passengers will love the smooth-riding serenity of it all.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Audi SQ7

The SQ7 is a modern take on the Xantia Activa, made all the more remarkable because it weighs 2.3 tonnes (nearly twice as much as the Citroen). Powered by a supplementary 48-volt electrical system, an electric motor deploys up to 885lb ft of torque to stiffen the anti-roll bars, making this seven-seat SUV feel like a hot hatch. Talk about having your Black Forest gateau and eating it.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Mini

Scroll through the drive modes in a modern Mini and you’ll find one labelled ‘Sport: for maximum go-kart feel’ (yep, there’s that cliché again). Brilliant handling was one reason for the original Mini’s incredible success, too – both on road and rally stage. It’s impossible to drive one without grinning ear-to-ear.

A 1960s Cooper would be our dream-garage choice, but even a basic 848cc Mini is fabulous fun.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

McLaren 675LT

Former Top Gear host Chris Evans was so impressed by McLaren’s 675hp supercar, he spent his own money on one. That’s strong praise from a man with a serious Ferrari fetish. Those who’ve driven both cars say the 675LT shades even the mighty McLaren P1 for driver excitement. It’s monstrously powerful, yet confidence-inspiringly capable. To quote our own Richard Aucock, the big Mac is “two or three levels above most supercars”.




Microsoft and partners may be compensated if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.

Lotus Elan

We started with the Elise, so it seems fitting to end with the Elan. The car that inspired the Mazda MX-5 is oh-so-pretty, yet absolutely tiny in the metal. Unassisted steering, independent suspension and super-skinny tyres telegraph every detail of the road surface, allowing you to exploit its modest limits with joyous abandon. More than 50 years on, has anyone made a better sports car than this?
