Among the many new and updated sports cars that hit the market in 2020 and have received tons of media attention, such as the new Corvette or Tesla Roadster, are plenty of those that are equally amazing yet have received little-to-no media attention.
Some of these vehicles are expected to be among the fastest production cars ever made in the history of the automotive industry, while others are just good-value driver's cars you can take out on the road and enjoy every minute of.
So, ranging from cool electric luxury cars to fun lightweight sports cars, these are the 10 new sports cars that you are probably sleeping on.
10 Polestar 1
True, this is a plug-in hybrid, but it has a sports car performance, so it definitely deserves to be mentioned. The Polestar 1 is low-key a beast as it is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine and an electric battery that produce an incredible 609 horsepower. The car can reach a top speed of 155 mph and can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds.
The Polestar 1 is a combination of absurd power and highly advanced technology. The company is owned by the Chinese manufacturer Geely that also owns Volvo. The car won't be cheap as for all that technology and power it is expected to have a starting price of $155,000.
9 Lotus Evora GT
The Evora has been around for quite a while, but the new generation of this car is truly stunning to look at. The car has a larger platform than the previous models and it is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 416 horsepower.
The Evora GT can reach a top speed of 186 mph and go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds. These incredible supercar numbers can be yours for a price of around $100,000. The car also has outstanding handling and can easily fly through the track.
8 TVR Griffith
The Griffith is expected to bring back to life one of the most iconic brands of fast cars in the world, the TVR. The Griffith was originally planned to come out in late 2017 but because of delays in production, the car is now expected next year.
This car will be powered by a buff 5.0-liter Cosworth V8 that will produce 500 horsepower and according to the company, it will be able to reach a top speed of 200 mph. The car is not only very fast but it is also incredibly light as it is mostly made of carbon fiber.
7 Alpine 110s
The new Alpine 110s is also very underrated. Alpine is the sports division of Renault, so the French engineers had no excuse for not making it very fast. The 110s is powered by a very quick turbocharged 1.8-liter that produces 288 horsepower and can push the car to a top speed of 161 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.4 seconds.
This car offers Porsche performance for half of the price. The 110s is so compact and lightweight that it is an absolute gem to drive on an open road.
6 Maserati MC20
For years, the car community has been waiting for a true sports car from Maserati. Something that was just meant to be absurdly fast and not a high-end vehicle with a lot of power. The MC20 is expected to be an absolute beast as it will be powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine that will produce 630 horsepower.
The Maserati will have a top speed of 202 mph and it is expected to go from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds. It has been 15 years since the iconic MC12, but we can finally say that Maserati finally has its supercar.
5 Ferrari 812 GTS
"A legend is reborn." That is how Ferrari is marketing its new stunning supercar. This is the mighty return of the engine that made Ferrari a household name. This is the first series-production Spider in 50 years that has a front-mounted V12 since the 365 GTS4.
The 812 GTS is a true beast as it is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 that produces an incredible 789 horsepower and can push this rocket to a top speed of 212 mph and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds.
4 McLaren 540C
This supercar is overlooked as it is the "entry-level" McLaren. However, we are still talking about a brand that is a true expert in creating absolute beasts and the 540C is no exception.
This beautiful supercar is powered by a refined twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 and produces 540 horsepower and can push the car to a top speed of 199 mph. Even more impressive is the 2.7 seconds it takes the McLaren to reach 60 mph. The car is just as fun and aggressive as its sister, the 570s.
3 Ferrari Roma
The most beautiful city in Italy should share the name only with a beautiful supercar and the Roma is truly a work of art. The elegant product of Maranello is powered by a 3.8-liter V8 that produces 620 horsepower and can push the Ferrari to a top speed of 198.8 mph and can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
The compact GT looks fabulous on the outside thanks to its flawless design and just for a split second it could make you forget how powerful it is. But only for a very short amount of time as the roar of the V8 will give you goosebumps.
2 Lotus Evija
This is the most extreme car that the English manufacturer has ever built. The Evija is an electric hypercar that is powered by four electric engines. Each of them produces 497 horsepower which brings the grand total to an astonishing 2000 horsepower.
This Lotus is the fastest car that the company has ever produced and can reach a top speed of over 200 mph and can go from 0 to 62 mph in less than 3 seconds. This is the first attempt by Lotus to build an electric vehicle. We can safely say that the engineers truly outdid themselves as this car is super quick and unique to look at.
1 Mercedes-AMG One.
We are counting the days to see this rocket on the road. This limited-production hybrid hypercar promises to be blistering fast. The car will be based on the incredible Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 W07 that Lewis Hamilton used to win the Championship in 2o16. The sophisticated powertrain will be composed of the same 1.6-liter turbocharged 90-degree V6, used by the W07, that produces an incredible 748 horsepower.
The car will be also equipped with four electric motors that expect to bring the total output to an insane 1230 horsepower. The car is so fast that it is expected to go from 0 to 186 mph in less than 11 seconds. According to Mercedes, the AMG One will have a top speed of 217 mph.
