Supercar of the Year – Ferrari 458 Italia
The stunningly beautiful 458 Italia takes its driver to the edge of what’s possible in a supercar.
‘There is little to fault on the Italia. Time spent with this car is time spent with your mouth open and brain re-adjusting.’
Over eight pages in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine, read how we fell in love with the 458 Italia, and look at the best photos you’ll have seen yet of the new Ferrari.
Hot Hatch of the Year – Volkswagen Golf GTI
Thirty years since its birth, the VW Golf GTI remains as impressive as ever. We salute a miracle of motoring evolution.
‘Like the National Theatre, the Golf GTI carries itself with a confidence born of weathering 33 years of passing fashions.’
Read about why the beautifully made, beautifully engineered, useful little car that’s also fun to drive has had a special place in our hearts for three decades, only in TopGear magazine’s Awards issue.
Muscle Car of the Year – Ford Focus RS
A muscle car with the perfect blend of practicality and power – read about Jeremy Clarkson arm-wrestling the Focus RS in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine.
Family Car of the Year – Skoda Yeti
To prove why the Skoda Yeti was the deserving winner of our Family Car award, we took it to the American Rockies and drove it up proper Big Foot country – Pikes Peak.

Least Boring Green Car of the Year – Ford Fiesta Econectic

Luxury Car of the Year – Skoda Superb
A Skoda? TopGear’s Luxury Car of the Year? Yes indeed, and to explain why, in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine we take one out in Prague.
‘Scything through the middle of eastern Europe couldn’t be easier. The Journey is unremarkable for all the best possible reasons.’
Most Beautiful Car of the Year – Alfa Romeo 8C Spider
Alfa maintained its reputation for producing some of the world’s most desirable cars with this, the 8C spider.
Read why we went weak at the knees in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine.
Manufacturer of the Year – Renaultsport
Creating a practical car with genuine sportiness is tough. Keeping it cheap is even tougher. But to do it with three cars? We hail a unique hatrick in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine.
GT Car of the Year – Mercedes-Benz SLS
The Stig takes Merc’s SLS out on the TopGear test track for one fast – very fast – lap in our GT Car of the Year.
‘On the road, the SLS is an astonishingly wild ride. And it’s more than happy to play hooligan for as long as you want.’ (Stig didn’t say that though, obviously.)
The Stig and an SLS, only in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine.
City Car of the Year – Toyota Prius
Slightly begrudgingly, we hand the Prius our gong for City Car of the Year. City dwellers rejoice, petrolheads shrug indifferently, only in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine.
Sports car of the Year – Lotus Evora
Saloon Car of the Year – Jaguar XF S Diesel
We take two of Blighty’s finest from dreary home to cloud-covered Mont Ventoux in Provence to find out why our Sports Car of the Year is doing its utmost to be a practical, economical GT. And why the most practical and economical alternative for continent-crossing duties, is a diesel.
Only in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine.
Lifetime Achievement Award – Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV

Interior of the Year – Jaguar XJ
All we’ve done so far is sit in the new Jaguar XJ. Read why that was enough, in the Awards issue of TopGear magazine.
Car of the Year – Ferrari 458 Italia
In a year when not one but two Skodas win gongs, don’t assume that a new Ferrari nabbing the big prize is a foregone conclusion. The 458 Italia isn’t TopGear magazine’s Car of the Year simply because it’s a Ferrari: it’s our winner because the scope of its abilities is absolutely breathtaking.
