11 Blindingly Fast Cars Under $100,000

While going fast in a car is an easy thing to do when money is no object, that doesn’t mean one needs to spend a small (or large) fortune to do so.

Listed here are 11 cars with starting MSRPs under $100,000 that are blindingly fast, yet don’t come with an acquisition cost that will have you going broke in the process.

Now don’t get me wrong—these cars aren’t cheap (some barely made the $100K cutoff), but they’re all fast and powerful and that’s the name of this game.

Before diving in, a few caveats:

One, eligibility is based on MSRP before extra charges such as freight, PDI and applicable taxes.

Second, this list is somewhat subjective as figures listed reflect data supplied by the manufacturers, not performance testing conducted by Wheels.ca. With that in mind, the cars are listed in alphabetical order and aren’t ranked in terms of outright speed and performance.

Third, getting on the list isn’t just about sheer torque and horsepower or 0-100 km/h times and top speed, but rather a combination of all those things.

Hey, I said it’s subjective, right?

Finally, this list isn’t exhaustive – there are other fast cars under $100,000 out there. But to keep the list at a reasonable length, I’d had to pare it down a bit. With that in mind, I’m including a few honourable mentions that also meet the criteria laid out here.

Without further ado here’s the list:

Fun Cars For Under $30,000

We were amazed at the variety of cars we found.

$30,000 these days doesn’t seem to get you much when it comes to new cars. Sure, there are plenty of capable and competent mid-size sedans that fall under that number but if your requirements include a modicum of driving fun, the available list becomes a whole lot shorter. There are still a few good sporty coupes out there though and when we expanded our search to nearly new cars and some desirable classic options we started to find that you can make the daily commute a whole lot more enjoyable if you are willing to think out of the box.

So, if you have $30,000 burning a hole in your pocket and was just about to pop down to your local dealer to pick up that shiny new boring sedan then read on, we have some interesting alternatives for you.

2016 Ford Mustang GT

If someone told you that you could have a brand new EcoBoost 2.3-liter Mustang or a nearly new V8 for the same money which would you choose?

A bit of a no-brainer for a gearhead but valid nonetheless. That 350-hp EcoBoost motor performs well enough but the 420-hp V8 is on another level, both in terms of acceleration and the sound it makes while going about its business. Look hard enough and GT Premium models can be found under our price point too.

1965-1973 First-Generation Mustang

The first-generation Mustang has always been a desirable classic and that iconic shape just keeps getting better with age. Not all Mustangs are within reach but there are plenty of well-maintained ones for under $30k and while they may not be able to keep up with a modern sedan, the fun-factor is off the scale.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS

The Camaro is great when fitted with a massive supercharged V8 but even the base offerings can be a lot of fun. At just under $29,000, the 335-hp V6 engine variant is a great daily driver and is the preferred choice to the turbocharged 4-potter. However, as with the Mustang if you look at something a few years older, then you can have a 455-hp 6.2-liter V8 under the hood instead. A 2016 model fits our budget, and finding one with the rare 6-speed manual is icing on the cake.

It is also worth noting that some really cool classic alternatives are out there too. How about a 2008 Z06 Corvette or perhaps a Camaro SS from 1969? Both cost the same as a new V6 Camaro and will quite likely go up in value over the coming years.

2016 Dodge Challenger R/T

The Dodge Challenger is about as close to the old-school muscle car formula as the modern generation gets. The desirable V8 models start at $33,495 for the R/T which comes with a 375-hp 5.7-liter V8 so slightly out of reach, but nearly new models are a possibility. As is the SXT Plus trim which comes with a 306-hp 3.6-liter V6 and a good deal of standard equipment and is $5 short of our price limit.

2016 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack

For a similar experience but with two extra doors, the Charger sedan range is also a good choice. The base SXT uses a 292-hp version of the same 3.6-liter V6 but the one you really want is the R/T Scat Pack. This one comes with a 485-hp 6.4-liter V8 and while new ones are $40k, you can find two-year old models for $30k. Fun for the whole family.

2013-2017 Chevrolet SS

When it comes to the Chevrolet SS the phrase ‘they don’t make them like they used to’ springs into mind. Since it went out of production in 2017 there are precious few big capacity naturally aspirated V8 sedans out there, the SS came fitted with an LS3 6.2-liter V8 which made 415-hp and a glorious sound too. Brembo brakes and a good suspension setup aided the fun factor, while a whole lot of standard kit made them great daily-drivers as well. New prices were pushing $47,000 but a low mileage 2014 SS is spot on the $30,000 mark.

2007-2013 BMW M3

There is not a single new BMW today that costs less than $30,000, the closest you can get is the $34,000 X1 Sure, it is sporty for a high-riding SUV and even the base sDrive28i model is nippy enough but the 414-hp E90 BMW M3 is going to be a fair bit quicker. Available in either coupe, sedan or convertible body styles, the first and currently only V8 M3 is simply a blast to drive. The DCT dual-clutch transmission was a massive step up from the rough SMG single-clutch unit of the previous M3 and the rear seats are big enough to convince your partner that it is a family car purchase. Think of it as a shrunken German Chevy SS with a dose of extra handling ability.

2004-2012 Porsche Boxster 987 S

A new Porsche is a lovely thing but then again, so is an old one. The second-generation 987 Boxster still looks the business and the facelifted Gen II models post-2008 had a number of important upgrades that improved performance and reliability levels. A 2011 310-hp 3.4-liter Boxster S is a proper sporting roadster all for the same price as a boring new sedan.

2005-2012 Porsche 911 (997)

Purists will still hanker after a 911 but a new one starts at a steep $91,000, before options. The 997 generation models are well within our budget though, and while they may be getting on in years, the naturally aspirated engines and more connected driving experience will appeal to many. Look at 2006 model year 3.6-liter models, a coupe is best but convertibles can be fun too. Stick to the manuals though as the Tiptronic automatic was not great and the PDK dual-clutch transmissions only made an appearance in 2009

2001-2011 Mercedes-Benz SL

If you are not too fussed about on-the-limit handling and prefer your sports car to be more laid back then you should definitely take a look at the Mercedes-Benz SL range. A new SL 450 is $88,000 before you start adding options but the fifth-generation SL models still offer a high level of luxury and performance for a fraction of the cost. The facelifted SL 550 offers a powerful 382-hp 5.5-liter V8 and 2009 model year cars are now under $30,000. The decadent V12 SL 600 came with a twin-turbo engine and produced a serious 510 hp and a face-distorting 610 lb-ft of torque.

These cars are a tempting choice for the money but you will have to look at a 2006 model and the servicing costs can be prohibitively expensive if they haven’t been looked after

13 Sedans That Can Sprint From 0-60 MPH In Under 4 Seconds

Sedans as fast as supercars, right off the showroom floor.

Cast your mind back a decade, to 2008 – the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 520-4, with a 5.0-liter 513-hp V10, could run 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds dead. For its time, this was a standard supercar benchmark. Of course, top speed could also be a measure, but since most manufacturers limit their vehicles at 155 mph, though they’re far capable of exceeding this, it’s a half measure at best.

So, isn’t it a joyous time for automotive enthusiasts, an era where a family sedan can keep pace with a bona fide supercar? It’s either testament to how far things have come or a scathing indictment on the supercar sector. But it’s now not at all uncommon to find sedans not just keeping pace from standstill, but around racetracks too. To honor the era of the super-sedan, we’ve found all the sedans on the market in the US that currently crack the 0-60 mph mark in under 4 seconds – though many of them have far greater credit than merely their ability to out-accelerate a decade old supercar.

Cadillac CTS-V

A decade ago, Cadillac wouldn’t have dared even dream of being on this list, but the latest incarnations of the ATS-V and CTS-V have established them as a proper performance carmaker for the American masses. It’s the CTS-V that finds a spot here though, as the rear-wheel-drive thunder-saloon is capable of a 0-60 mph sprint time of a manufacturer claimed 3.7 seconds. It’s thanks to the immense power available from its Corvette-sourced 6.2-liter supercharged V8 – 640 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque. That gut-wrenching power doesn’t end at 60 mph though, as the CTS-V will run on to 200 mph if given the track-space to do so.

Audi RS7

The Audi RS7 is one of the oldest cars on this list, and due for replacement at some stage in the near future. But quattro all-wheel drive and a potent twin-turbo V8 engine set the RS7 in good stead to run with supercars well before the rest of the world played catch-up. With 560 hp and 516 lb-ft tied to the ground via permanent all-wheel drive, is it any wonder the RS7 sprints to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.7 seconds? The potent RS7 Performance does it quicker still, in 3.6 seconds with 605hp.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Which is more exciting – a sedan that can keep pace with supercars, or the fact that it’s a rear-wheel drive Alfa Romeo? Powered by a Ferrari-derived 2.9-liter bi-turbo V6, 505 hp and superior engineering see the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio rocket to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. More than that, the Giulia Quadrifoglio held the Nurburgring record for the fastest production sedan, lapping the Nordschleife in 7 minutes 32 seconds, quicker than a Lexus LFA and Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. It’s pretty much earned the tag of being a Ferrari sedan.

Audi RS3 Sedan

Who would’ve thought something sharing a chassis with a VW Beetle would end up on this list? Well, here the RS3 Sedan is, replete with a 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine – of course – and 400 horsepower, sent to all four corners with 0-60 mph taking a rapid 3.9 seconds. Lest we forget, the RS3 is the junior Audi Sport model of the entire line-up, and it’s capable of dealing out hidings to far bigger foes without batting an eyelid.

Dodge Charger Hellcat

Hellcat power, is there anything else that needs saying? The Dodge Charger Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 generates 707 earthshaking horsepower, sent to the rear pair of tires with enough force, and grip, to send the Charger from 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. But stick it on a drag strip with some track rubber and it’ll outgun many a supercar. Not to mention, how many family sedans can brag about having 707 horsepower and a 204 mph top speed?

BMW M760i xDrive

Whilst many of the vehicles on this list possess genuine sports car credentials, the same can’t be said of the BMW M760i xDrive. It is after all a luxury land yacht first and foremost, designed to ferry passengers in the rear of the cabin in complete relaxation. But whilst appearances may be somewhat unassuming, the 601 horsepower 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 lurking under the hood is anything but. Throw in permanent all-wheel drive, and the M760i is the land yacht capable of 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds. Down any straight stretch of road, the M760i is capable of dealing supercars a good scare.

Tesla Model S P100D

Representing the boys from Electric Avenue, the Tesla Model S P100D has been the poster-child for EV performance since day one. YouTube is filled with videos of P100Ds destroying supercars and drag-monsters alike down the strip, not surprising given it sprints from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Two point five seconds!

Not only is that true supercar territory, but that’s as quick as a Bugatti Veyron completes the same feat, and the Tesla has been known to do it quicker in testing. It’s perhaps the single feature of the Model S that’s cemented it in the hearts and minds of motoring enthusiasts.

Mercedes-AMG S63

While almost all AMGs are thundering demons of the street and track, it’s the biggest of the lot – the AMG S63 – that offers the best performance in a 4-door sedan package. Powered by the familiar 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine seen across the range, outputs of 603 hp and 664 lb-ft mean the S63 offers one of the highest states of tune for the hot-vee motor. Mated to all-wheel drive and a 9-speed automatic transmission, 0-60 mph arrives in 3.4 seconds, frightening not just the BMW M760i but many a supercar on the street too.

Mercedes-AMG E63 S

From one AMG to the next, the AMG E63 S makes use of the same 4.0-liter V8 as the S63, in an identical 603-hp state of tune, and with the same automatic gearbox. But its all-wheel-drive system has an extreme rear bias (and a drift mode), and the reduced weight compared to its bigger brother means the E63 S 4Matic+ takes performance to a new level. 0-60 mph arrives in just 3.3 seconds, but it’s not just that number that tells the story. The E63 S is a capable luxury cruiser but possesses the duality of being equally at home on a racetrack where it can be found hunting down BMW M5s and Audi RS7s.

BMW M5 Competition

After Mercedes-AMG took the E63 the AWD route, it was a waiting game to see how BMW would respond. The response was swift and the strike deadly accurate, as BMW pioneered the M-xDrive all-wheel-drive system specifically for the new M5. Paired with an upgraded 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 churning out 617 hp in Competition trim, the M5 Performance – replete with an illustrious performance history dating back more than 30 years – smashes the 0-60 mph benchmark in 3.1 seconds. Every day is a track day when you drive an M5.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

It’s said that every Porsche is a sports car first, and a segment competitor second. That’s the ethos behind vehicles like the Macan, and indeed the Porsche Panamera. Now in its second – and arguably most beautiful generation – it’s the hybridized Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid that delivers the strongest of killer blows. A twin-turbocharged V8, measuring 4.0-liters in displacement, kicks out 550 hp, but is bonded to a supplementary electrical system to bolster total outputs to a manic 680 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque.

With all-wheel drive and the incredible PDK dual-clutch gearbox, 0-60 mph takes 3.2 seconds before the Turbo S E-Hybrid stretches on to a 192 mph top speed. Of course, it does all this with the ability to out-handle just about any other sports saloon on track too, making it a true supercar slayer for the modern family man.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe

The most recent addition to this list is perhaps one of the most fitting. Though the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S might be based upon the same chassis as the E63 mentioned above, with the same engine at its heart, the whole thing has been worked over from the ground up by the team at AMG to create what is effectively a 4-door version of its monstrous AMG GT supercar.

It makes use of the same 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, but dialed in for sharper responses and better on-track behavior – though drift mode is still standard – and the 4.0-liter V8 churns out 630 hp in 63 S trim. 0-60 mph takes 3.1 seconds, quick enough to rival any supercar, and handling gets a boost courtesy of rear-wheel steering. Though it’s yet to go on sale in the US, the recent international launch is enough to warrant its eligibility for inclusion here.

Jaguar XE SV Project 8

The Jaguar XE is a competent sports sedan in its own right, but hand it over to Jaguar Land Rovers Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) department, and the sports sedan becomes something beastly. Under the hood, SVO shoehorned a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 outputting 592 horsepower. Traction is found through a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system, with specially designed, track-honed suspension aiding high levels of grip. Carbon fiber usage is liberal for reduced weight, meaning the most powerful series-production Jaguar ever can achieve impressive performance in all circumstances.

0-60 mph takes 3.3 seconds, the Project 8 tops out at 200 mph, and the giant rear wing develops 269 lbs of downforce at 186 mph. But Project 8 was designed to conquer any and all racetracks, and the limited production model of just 300 units proved its track pedigree by setting the fastest ever lap at the Nurburgring for a production four-door sedan, lapping the circuit in 7 minutes, 21.2 seconds – quicker than a Ferrari 488 GTB, Dodge Viper, and Ferrari Enzo. It seems a fitting sedan to finish this list with, one that hammers home the point that sedans are now truly as fast as supercars. What a time to be alive!
