NEW YORK (CNNMoney.

com) -- In testing the most expensive group of cars the magazine has ever purchased, Consumer Reports rated the Porsche 911 as the top high-performance sports car.

The 911 was tested against the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the Dodge Viper and other performance vehicles in a competitive test of luxury sports cars.

The prices of the eight cars in the magazine's most recent tests ranged from $45,545 for a Lotus Elise to $105,855 for a Mercedes-Benz SL550.

In the magazine, those results are combined with those of six other luxury performance cars tested previously to provide a 14-car ranking of high-priced performance cars.

Where's Audi?

For a manufacturer that supposedly invented so many things and with all this supposed performance they were conspicuously absent.......

Another sign of their inferiority in the U.S. market?

As they say, There is no Substitute. For over 40 years now. This is in a class of its own.

SPEEDINGTICKETS,

Speaking of retarded, read the price range of the cars involved in the test!!!!! If you can find a new Ferrari at that price, better take that deal!

Still kind of odd that Audi is missing.....that's a travesty. They've invented so many new concepts, have the best interior and are lightning quick in a straight line...

I guess that you also missed the 911/Audi comparo that was published recently too?
