Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.

But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus (http://www.autoblog.com/audi/r8/); BMW 435i (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/4+series/); BMW M6 Competition Package (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m6/); Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/corvette/); Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari/f12+berlinetta/); Ford Fiesta ST (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fiesta+st/); Jaguar F-Type V8 S (http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/f-type/); Jaguar XFR-S (http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/xfr/); Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/e63+amg/); Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/sls+amg/); Mini John Cooper Works GP (http://www.autoblog.com/mini/cooper/); Nissan GT-R Track Edition (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/gtr/); and Porsche Cayman S (http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/cayman/).

But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche (http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/)).Continue reading Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/14/road-and-track-2013-performance-car-of-the-year/)
