What are some examples of fast yet (somewhat) practical sports cars?

XboxCarsForza

The Bisimoto Honda Odyssey

main-qimg-524542c29360b0f7f2b3835bc1eb469b.webp

1029 Horsepower, FWD and of course, it’s a minivan

Volvo XC90/60 T8

main-qimg-bc0dd667c04220c0f7994217b82c6623.webp

400HP, 4WD and can do 0–60 in 4.9 Seconds

Tesla Model S P100D

main-qimg-fe2d7d371060764ae3a345f74c4bfc2d.webp

0–60 in 2.28 Plus, it doesn’t have an engine so you have a “frunk” for extra storage

Nissan GT-R

main-qimg-a003bc27e29003d76f4135ac3eba3d29.webp

0–60 in less than 3 seconds and it has a 600 HP Engine, plus it has 79 cu.ft. of Passenger volume with 8 cubic feet of cargo.

 

Any others?

Bugatti Veyron. I can roll around town in style and suffocate the preachy prick down the street with the exhaust.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

That riced up Odyssey literally gave me cancer.

 

I thought people were joking when I heard there were souped up/modded/tuned Odyssey's.

Porsche Panamera? I guess that is more a sedan, but seems practical and fast.

 

Or the Audi S-series of cars. Basically a sedan with a ridiculous engine in it.

The obvious answer to the question is the Porsche 911. Definitely a sports car, deep frunk and the back seats fold to give more luggage space, you can also stick roof bars on the coupé. And is available in RWD :x and 4WD flavours.

That's neither sporty nor a car.

Fast in a straight line and doesn't need a truck license.

 

Plus I can take it offroad..

Sports cars typically can't go off road. They're made to go fast on a track and corner well.

 

Whereas this pickup truck is made to go off roading, being fastish on the lighter excursions, and take impact well. And with the body style, it's as muscle truck at best.

 

The Ford Lightning was a sport truck. A lowered F150 with a skirt kit and a souped up powertrain.

Dude, @Drak3, my friend.

 

The OP linked a HONDA ODYSSEY. So I don't think we're overly concerned with the technical definition of "sports car" at this point. Let the man have his souped up F150.

If he's going to have a souped F150, it should be the sport F150, not the muscle F150.

 

But I value the semantics too much.

How about a rebuilt Miata with an LS3 swap... Mind you the work done on this car is ridiculous (tires, suspension, brakes) as the weight distribution hasn't changed much and most of the creature comforts still work as intended. The spec for this car can be found here

 

Flyin-Miata-LS3-V8-2016-Mazda-MX-5-engin

 

The gun analogy for this car would be a snub-nosed Colt Python.

BMW i8?

Its storage space is kind'a pitiful, but its fuel efficiency is closer to the Prius than to most other sports cars, while still being very quick.

Ehh the Raptor is actualy pretty sporty. 0-60 in 5.3 isn't anything to scoff at IMO

The Raptor only throws raw performance at the 'problem,' it's a muscle truck, and skimming the lines of desert crawler. Sports cars primarily use aerodynamic design, load shifting, and wieght reduction to achieve the same results.
