The Porsche 911 earns respect for its balance and speed, but some sedans are ready to compete. Built with power, precision, and track capability, these four-door cars don’t just follow—they fight for the same performance crown. Here are 10 models that bring sports car energy with added practicality.

BMW M5 Competition

Despite weighing over 4,300 pounds, the M5 Competition logged Nurburgring lap times on par with earlier 911s. With 617 hp from a twin-turbo V8, it accelerates to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Precise steering, adaptive suspension, and a rear-bias xDrive system help it corner with remarkable agility for its size.

Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

In Car and Driver’s Lightning Lap, the CT5-V Blackwing outran the Porsche 911 Carrera S around VIR. A 668-hp supercharged V8 powers it to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, recording a top speed of over 200 mph. Magnetic Ride Control and track-honed tuning make it far more than a muscle sedan.

Audi RS7 Performance

The RS7 Performance circled the Nurburgring in 7:33.123—a few seconds behind older 911s. Audi’s adaptive air suspension and Quattro all-wheel drive deliver confident handling on twisty roads. With 621 hp from a twin-turbo V8, it surges to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds while maintaining luxury-car composure.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance

Rear-wheel steering and active suspension enable this hybrid AMG to feel nimble in corners, despite its size. It combines a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with a rear-mounted electric motor for a staggering 831 hp. The result was 0–60 in 2.8 seconds and quicker lap times than a 911 GTS at Hockenheimring.

Tesla Model S Plaid

Generating 1,020 hp from three electric motors, the Plaid rockets to 60 mph in under two seconds—quicker than a 911 Turbo. On the drag strip, it breaks into the 9-second range with street-legal tires. Despite its weight, torque vectoring and a low center of gravity allow it to carve corners surprisingly well.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

A near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and torque vectoring give the Giulia astonishing agility. Powered by a Ferrari-derived 2.9L twin-turbo V6, it delivers 505 hp and reaches 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. On Italy’s Imola circuit, it managed lap times that edged out earlier 911 Carrera models.

Lucid Air Sapphire

It outran a 911 Turbo S in roll races, proving EVs can deliver more than just straight-line speed. Delivering 1,234 hp from three electric motors, the Sapphire hits 60 mph in just 1.89 seconds. Torque vectoring and a low center of gravity make it surprisingly nimble for a full-size luxury sedan.

Jaguar XE SV Project 8

A Nurburgring lap time of 7:18 put the Project 8 ahead of the 997-generation 911 GT3. Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations gave it a 592-hp supercharged V8, carbon-ceramic brakes, and aggressive aero. This hand-built, limited-run sedan is more of a track weapon than an executive cruiser.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody

With 797 hp and a 203-mph top speed, the Redeye Widebody remains one of the fastest mass-production sedans. It accelerates to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and rips through the quarter mile in 11 flat. It may lack finesse in corners, but few four-doors pull harder in a straight line.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Thanks to a two-speed transmission and advanced chassis control, the Taycan Turbo S delivers sharp responsiveness. Producing 750 hp, it charges to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds. In real-world reviews, it has outperformed several 911 variants on winding roads and in wet conditions.
