The 3 Fastest AWD Sports Cars Ranked

Don’t dismiss these rides; they’ll smoke you and do it with grins on their faces

by Kirby Garlitos


It’s no secret that if you want your car to post a blistering 0-to-60-mph acceleration time, turning all four wheels from the jump is the best way to do it. Sure, it’s not as easy as doing just that, but years of testing vehicles across all platforms has shown that all-wheel-drive cars provide much better traction than rear-wheel or front-whee-drive vehicles.

Combine that capacity with all the new technologies that have arrived — launch control and torque vectoring — and it’s no surprise that some of the fastest-accelerating cars in the world are equipped with all-wheel-drive. Motor Trend has done a lot of testing on this front and the numbers bear fruit.

These 10 sports cars are the fastest of their kind. They’re all equipped with all-wheel-drive and they can all leave you in the dust if you don’t give them the respect they deserve.

2019 JAGUAR XE SV PROJECT 8: 3.2 SECONDS

There are other cars that are just as potent as the Jaguar XE SV Project 8, but even if the Lamborghini Urus can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, it doesn’t exactly fit the profile of a sports car. In some ways, the XE SV Project 8 doesn’t fit the mold, either. It’s a high-performance sedan, but just because it has two extra doors, that doesn’t mean it can’t qualify as a sports car.

See, the XE SV Project 8 was created for the specific purpose of performance. It comes with a significant load of aerodynamic components to go with serious chassis modifications and enough carbon fiber bits that would make other versions of the XE green with envy.

Then there’s the 5.0-liter supercharged V-8, which produces close to 600 horsepower. That’s enough to help propel the all-wheel-drive sedan to a 0-to-60-mph time of 3.2 seconds and a spot on this list.

Jaguar XE SV Project 8 specifications

Engine:    5.0-liter supercharged V-8
Transmission:    eight-speed automatic transmission
Horsepower:    592 horsepower
Torque:    516 pound-feet of torque
Curb Weight:    3,847 pounds
Power-to-Weight Ratio:    0.154 horsepower / pound
0-60 mph:    3.2 seconds
0-120 mph:    10.2 seconds
Top Speed:    200 mph

2017 ACURA NSX: 3.1 SECONDS 

The Acura NSX is an interesting sports car. It’s still a bit early to say if it can fill the massive shoes left by its predecessor, but even if it doesn’t end up being as revered as the OG model, it’s still a fool’s errand to think that the new NSX doesn’t cut the performance mustard. 

The opposite is actually true. Not only is the 2017 NSX fast, but it’s quick enough to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. 

That makes it one of the quickest all-wheel-drive hybrid cars in the world. The 2017 NSX lays claim to that title because of the potent tag-team made up of a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine and electric motors that combine to produce a heart-stopping 573 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque. 

It’s hard to compare a car like the 2017 NSX with the Nissan GT-R, but it is encouraging to see that after years of sitting in the shadows, the Japanese performance car scene is now well-represented by a pair of breakneck, all-wheel-drive performance cars that can give you acceleration goosebumps, even if they do it in two different ways.

Acura NSX specifications

Engine:    3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6
Transmission:    nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
Horsepower:    573 horsepower
Torque:    476 pound-feet of torque
Curb Weight:    3,803 pounds
Power-to-Weight Ratio:    0.151 horsepower / pound
0-60 mph:    3.1 seconds
0-120 mph:    10.0 seconds
Top Speed:    191 mph

2017 PORSCHE 911 TARGA 4 GTS: 3.0 SECONDS

The 911.2-generation Porsche 911 brings plenty of options to the table, but if you’re looking for a version that can lay waste to acceleration times and turn your hair into a crazy mess, the 911.2 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS is the one for you. 

The Targa’s roof panel has an appeal that it can call its own and the addition of turbochargers, though controversial, makes the car a lot livelier than it probably should be. But it’s the “4” in the car’s nomenclature and the GTS-spec that make it one of the most rounded 911s you’ll ever find on the road. 

The 911 Targa 4 GTS’ 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine produces 450 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which, in turn, sends power to all four wheels, helping the sports car accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. 

Put all these elements together and you have a supercar that can double as a daily driver without skipping a beat. For an automaker like Porsche that offers enough versions of its fabled 911 nameplate, the Targa 4 GTS stands out on its own for all the reasons that make Porsche the automaker that it is.

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS specifications

Engine:    3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6

Horsepower:    450 horsepower
Torque:    405 pound-feet of torque
