Teamspeed 2011 Year in Review: First Drives
Teamspeed Looks back at our 2011 First Drives & Reviews
The year 2011 has seen some pretty spectacular cars come our way, and here on Teamspeed we've given you the best of the best. For the last 12 months, we've sent our contributors across the length and breadth of the globe, searching for the machines which most appeal to you, the car enthusiast.
We hope you have enjoyed these in-depth reviews as much as we have had bringing them to you. I would personally like to thank Karl, Dan, Peter, CJ, and Jesse for all their great work this year and we look forward to testing the best of the best again in 2012 for you!

Amazing line up of cars and great reviews on all of them. It's nice to get a different perspective on these cars than the ones given by the typical car mags. The TS reviews felt more factual and real world.

^i think mo may be a little biased in his opinion about AMG's , but the RS 4.0 is such an amazing car, even the worlds biggest AMG fanatic picked it over an AMG car, and a spectacular one at that. He did pick the two cars with the best motors of the bunch. .
