PORTION DISTORTION AMERICANS ARE LOVIN' IT!
Road & Track
|February/March 2026
THIS ISSUE IS A CELEBRATION of bigness, of excess, and of a simple, central truth: We Americans buy our cars by the pound. Size is where the value lies. If a 3XL T-shirt costs the same as your usual M, aren't you, as an American, morally obliged to take advantage of that deal?
This is an original McDonald's Super Size cup from 1987, filled to overflowing with a popular variety of brown, carbonated sugar water. McDonald's discontinued the line of absurdly portioned meals and drinks more than 20 years ago, but supersizing has lived on as a testament to America's abiding affection for largeness.

CHASING THE DRAGON
In this job I take a lot of great road trips in a lot of great cars, but I never got to drive the Porsche 918 Spyder in 2013 when it was new.

THE CARS
Welcome to the 2026 Road & Track Performance Car of the Year. I am delighted to bring you the following work of a select team of pros at R&T. The coverage of this year's PCOTY spread out over the next 28 pages is the result of nearly a year of planning, a week of long but glorious days, and a not inconsiderable amount of money. That said, before you flip furiously to the final page of this presentation to see what won, or head to roadandtrack.com to watch the Performance Car of the Year video and read the myriad other stories about these nine cars, I ask that you hear me out on a couple of provisos.

MULTICAR CRASHES ARE NASCAR'S SPECIALTY.
There’s nothing in racing more brutal, or more shamefully entertaining, than a field-clearing wreck at a NASCAR oval. The recipe for disaster is simple: Start a race with a large field of cars, then run them at breakneck speeds with little breathing room. Voilà, vehicular mayhem.
