Stuttgart. Over 11,000 readers of the magazine "sport auto" took part in the poll to choose the world's sportiest cars in 2004. In three of the twelve categories, which were broken down by body type and price, a Porsche model came out victorious.
The Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet won the category "Roadsters and cabriolets from €60,000" with 14.1% of the votes, beating the Ferrari 360 Spider (14.0%) and the Wiesmann Roadster MF3 (12.6%). In "Coupés between €45,000 and €90,000", the Porsche 911 Carrera S was the runaway victor, taking 44% of the votes. It was followed by the TVR Sagaris with 14.2% and the Chevrolet Corvette with 9.5%.
The top category "Super sports cars" was won with another impressive lead – and for the second time running – by the Porsche Carrera GT. 37.1% of the readers clearly preferred it over the Ford GT (13.7%) and the Lamborghini Murciélago (11.7%).
