On the evening of February 1, our performance car champion for the next 12 months will be revealed.

Before then, however, you have the chance to have your say on which one of these talented dozen hotties deserves the prize.

We’ve assembled arguably the best – certainly the fastest and most expensive – field in Performance Car of the Year history, so whichever car wins can rightly claim to be the best performance car on sale today.

Vote at the bottom of the article, and check back on February 1 for the winner.

The performance car of the year will be announced at the Australian Motoring Awards on February 1, 2017.
