MULTICAR CRASHES ARE NASCAR'S SPECIALTY.

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.

PORTION DISTORTION AMERICANS ARE LOVIN' IT!
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?
