Lotus Evora
The Lotus Evora GT arguably remains the closest thing to a go-kart on the road, what with a lightweight chassis, razor-sharp handling and limited electronic assist that gets in your way. The biggest difference with an actual go-kart, of course, is that the Evora uses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 engine producing a bit more than 400 horsepower. It’s one of the quickest cars you can find on the planet right now.
