Best Cars of 1984

Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.

  1. Porsche 911 Carrera 3.21984The final form of the original 911 is the classic that works as a car: torquey, durable and honest, dated inside, and best with the later G50 gearbox.Read the review
  2. Ferrari 288 GTO1984Built for a race series that died before it could compete, the GTO became the template for every limited-run Ferrari since, and the prettiest of them.
  3. Ferrari Testarossa1984The poster car of the 1980s is a comfortable, fast grand tourer with a heavy gearshift, and a lesser driver's car than its image suggests.
