The eight best four-seater sports cars
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
)
If you want the best sports car, it has to be an Alfa Romeo. Yes, there are faster and more comfortable sports saloons out there, but in many ways, you’re not a true petrolhead unless you’ve driven one.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is the top of the range, powered by a monstrous twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engine that produces a whopping 505hp – this Italian stallion isn’t messing about.
When it comes to the corners, it excels there too, providing plenty of lateral grip, and the steering is out of a proper sports car.

Bentley Continental GT
)
For those who appreciate the finer things in life, a Bentley Continental GT is up there with some of the most luxurious cars money can buy. Yes, they’re expensive new, but you can save thousands on a used one.
Sitting under the bonnet is either a twin-turbocharged V8 or a W12 engine (now retired in favour of a single hybridised 782hp V8 option), producing 530hp and 640hp respectively. This means it wafts around the streets in pure comfort, but can get on it when you want it to.
But the main highlight is its interior which is clad in plush leather from 10 cow hides, no less. There’s also loads of tech and a revolving infotainment screen which can rotate to reveal a clean dashboard with a working clock on it.
Audi RS3 Saloon
)
Point-and-shoot cameras have been around for decades, but the point-and-shoot car is a relatively new phenomenon, and the Audi RS3 Saloon is one of the best.
This little pocket rocket of a sports car can easily seat four people and is guaranteed to put a smile on their faces.
Power comes from a turbocharged 2.5-litre engine that produces 400hp and 500Nm of torque, plus you can expect over 30mpg so everyone’s a winner.

BMW M3
 "BMW M3 front")
BMW has been making the M3 since 1986, and that really shows with more modern examples.
They’re fast, full of tech, exciting and will beat much more expensive cars in terms of drivability.
Based on the standard 3 Series, the M3 gets more power, wider arches, four exhausts and most importantly, retains all four seats – with room for a fifth person in the middle.

Mercedes-AMG SL
)
Sometimes in life, you just need a convertible sports car, and that’s where the Mercedes-AMG SL steps in.
Not only is it a through-and-through performance car, but it can also seat four people. Admittedly, those two rear passengers are going to have to be short, but it’s the thought that counts.
Later SL63 AMG models are powered by a 585hp twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine which produces an incredible rumble and goes like stink.

Nissan GT-R
)
Nissan has been using the GT-R name since 1969, and since it introduced the R35 model in 2007, it’s proven a sales success and one of the longest-serving single model generations in history at 17 years.
Its popularity came from its easily tunable 3.8-litre V6 engine and its ability to seat four people in the car. In some cases, there are examples of cars with well over 3,000hp – that’s three Bugatti Veyrons...
Plus, you can rely on Nissan’s impressive reliability, and since it’s a long-standing model, it’s been tried-and-tested for close to two decades.
Toyota GR86
)
Following hot on the tyre marks of the GT86, the Toyota GR86 took everything great about that car and gave it a more powerful engine, a stiffer shell and improved handling.
While it’s technically a four-seater, Toyota refers to it as a two-plus-two which means there’s no fifth seat in between the two rear ones, but for shorter trips, it’s still possible to have people in the back.
It’s also very cheap (compared to the other cars on this list), so there’s no wonder it’s sold rather well and created more B-road fun for many.
Porsche 911
 "Porsche 911 front three quarters")
Where do you even begin with the Porsche 911? Perhaps the greatest car ever made, this two-plus-two offers an incredible driving experience and a gorgeous rear-engined flat-six engine sound.
There are many different versions to consider from the bog-standard Carrera to the Carrera S, GTS, Turbo and high-end GT3 and GT3 RS versions, though these don’t typically have more than two seats.
Porsche knows what it’s doing with its cars, and it’s no wonder it’s sold well over 1.2 million 911s over the years.
