The Best Performance Cars of 2016 Under $30,000
7. Polaris Slingshot
Whether you consider it a motorcycle with an extra wheel or a car with one fewer wheel, we can all agree that the Polaris Slingshot is a thing of beauty. It is certainly not a daily driver, thanks to its lack of a roof, but that doesn’t diminish the fact that it delivers more smiles per buck than anything else on this list.
This side-by-side checks in at a starting price of just $21,199 and comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 173 horsepower. While that output isn’t overly inspiring, the Polaris tips the scales at just 1,718 pounds, dramatically skewing power-to-weight ratios in its favor. This results in a 0-to-60 sprint of just 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph.
What’s more, buyers can opt for the LE Black Pearl model and load it up with all the Goodies Polaris offers, and still come in well under the $30,000 mark.
