A performance car is an automobile that is designed and constructed specifically for speed. The design and construction of a performance car involves not only providing a capable power train but also providing the handling and braking systems to support it.
Performance cars are road vehicles, capable of providing transport. Specially designed racing cars are not normally regarded as performance cars, but performance cars are often raced.
There is a great deal of overlap between performance cars and sports cars, but not all performance cars are sports cars, and not all sports cars are performance cars. The MG TC, for example, is a prototypical sports car, but even by the standards of its day was unexceptional in its performance.
Similarly, some hot rods are performance cars, but many hot rods are either built for show rather than for performance, or are not intended to be roadworthy, or both. Those hot rods that are built for on-road performance tend to emphasise straight line speed and acceleration, and in this they represent one extreme of a continuum of performance cars, the opposite extreme of which is represented by cars that emphasise handling rather than straight line speed, such as the Lotus Elise.
Performance Car, commonly abbreviated to PC, was an automobile magazine from the United Kingdom published by EMAP between October 1983 and July 1998. As suggested by the title, the magazine focussed on the high performance sector of the car market, from hot hatches through to supercars.
A magazine of the same name was launched in 2008.
Original magazine
AGB Business Publications Limited launched Performance Car in October 1983. It replaced Hot Car magazine, a magazine that focussed on the tuned & modified car scene. The change of name came about due to a slight shift of focus to manufacturer-built performance cars. Early issues were titled Performance Car (incorporating Hot Car). The editor at launch was Ian Wearing.
In 1986, Jeremy Clarkson became a freelance columnist for the magazine. He would later go on to present the BBC motoring TV series Top Gear, but continued to write for Performance Car until 1994, when the BBC issued him an ultimatum following the launch of Top Gear magazine.

The Best Performance Car Of 2024 Is…? Meet The Contenders
It’s that most wonderful time of the year again. No, not Christmas, rather Top Gear Magazine’s Speed Week is once more upon us, the annual test where we gather the best performance cars from the past 12 months and see which stands head and shoulders above the pack.
This year we decamped from Top Gear HQ to Spain. More specifically to the Navarra region in the north, which contains both the newly upgraded Circuito de Navarra, and well as one of the greatest roads in the world, nestled up high in the Pyrenean mountains. We spent a week conducting road and track testing, as well as filming, photographing and getting very little sleep.
As for the cars, we took along not just one F1-car-for-the-road, but two (albeit they’re somehow separated by nearly 100 years…) and a whole host of other fas...

As for the cars, we took along not just one F1-car-for-the-road, but two (albeit they’re somehow separated by nearly 100 years…) and a whole host of other fast metal. The full list of contenders vying for the 2024 Speed Week crown is: Aston Martin Valkyrie, Porsche 911 S/T, Corvette Z06, McLaren 750S, Toyota GR Yaris, BMW M4 CS, Ariel Nomad 2, Audi RS6 GT, Range Rover Sport SV, Porsche 911 GTS, Aston Martin Vantage, and the Auto Union Type 52.
Top Gear Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, provides us with all the details on these cars, but in the end, only one will be crowned as our Performance Car of the Year. Be sure to grab a copy of the magazine to discover which one that is!
