With two turbochargers that don’t hesitate when you drop the gas, Porsche’s 911 Turbo out-accelerates Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Blades that guide exhaust into the turbocharger vary their angle based on engine speed, precisely controlling airflow and building boost even at low engine speeds, eliminating turbo lag. This allows the 480hp beast to reach 60 mph in a scant 3.7 seconds. $123,000; porsche.com
