LA Auto Show: Troy's Best of Show

This one's hard, because the LA Show is frothing with Octane this year and horsepower is back in Vogue. The Supercharged Corvette Z06 is an awesome looking ride, the Mercedes CLS63AMG made its world debut and looked very Simon Bar Sinister next to the SLS AMG Gullwing, BMW showed their very sleek 6 Series Concept coupe (which seems to lack only production badging) and Cadillac brought the stunning CTS-V coupe to the party. But which one get the Troy Turbo award for outstanding contribution to octane?

I'm not a Porschephile per se, but in my book, the 2011 911 Speedster is the car of the show. First, it's a production car (so as much as I dug the Jaguar turbine-electric CX75, it wasn't eligible), its a great interpretation of the '89 Speedster which I loved, which is in itself based on the iconic Speedster of 1955. Lowered windshield, twin speedster bumps, limited production, high power- it's everything that makes a classic Porsche sports car. I'm not likely to have one, for two valid reasons- the limited availability (only 100 cars for the US market) and a price tag of $204,000 will likely stand between me and it's 400 horsepower, but it's a stunning creation and I hereby award it my Troy Turbo Most Coveted Award for 2010:
