When it comes to buying a sports car in 2014, there really is a huge level of choice. Whether you're after a comfortable four-seater that you can use every day, or more of a hardcore stripped-out racer, there's plenty of choice in the marketplace.
At the more affordable end of the market there's Audi's TT and Toyota's GT86 -- two practical coupes that are available for around £25,000.
Stepping up in price are the Porsche Boxster and Nissan 370Z Nismo, a pair of six-cylinder two-seaters that are as powerful as they look.
Finally, there's the Lotus Elise S Club Racer, a totally no-nonsense lightweight sports car with a comparatively tiny engine, but impressive performance figures.
But which is quickest in a straight line? The powerful Porsche, the lightweight Lotus, or the all-conquering Audi? There's only one way to find out -- a drag race at Rockingham Motor Speedway.
