Madcap acceleration from an engine with no cylinders?  Yes, from the rotary-powered Mazda RX-7, a car with real character. Expect stupendous handling, too.

That's the underappreciated Nissan 200SX in the background.

 Something seems to be missing from this picture.  Yes, only three cylinders.  But this Charade is undoubtedly rev-happy like other cars of its ilk.
The Elise follows in the Lotus tradition of lightweight cars that define the word handling.  Razor-sharp steering and responsive to any flick of your wrist.  It's economical too with a 1.8 liter Rover engine.  But 0-100 km/h comes up in a very fast 6.0 seconds.  A drive-before-you-die experience, so they say. This 911 is no longer the latest model, as the Type 996 is available at your friendly Porsche dealer, PGA Cars.  Its air-cooled engine may sound Beetle-like, but with its acceleration you won't mistake this for any Bug.
