Top 10 AWD Cars on the Market Right Now

All wheel drive cars are good for traction. Some are just plain old SUVs and others are crazy hot hatches and sports cars. Here are the top 10 AWD cars.

1. Ford Focus RS

The Ford Focus is the coolest hot hatch ever. There is a turbocharged 4 cylinder that makes 350 horsepower, which is better than its competitor, the Subaru WRX Sti, which only makes 292 horsepower. The Ford Focus RS is ridiculously insane. There is a drift mode that allows the Ford Focus RS to drift like a boss. The are also these sweet Recaro seats that hold you in place while your pulling some sick donuts.

2. Bugatti Chiron

I thought that the Veyron was uncool for being ugly and the interior looking low tech and boring. The Chiron fixes everything. First of all, it looks like a real race car, which should be the goal because of the sheer speed this thing is able to achieve. Second of all, the interior looks like Pagani came in and designed it. There is a fancy metal speedometer with menus next to it. There is also beautiful metal and leather everywhere. The Chiron is made by Bugatti, so it obviously has some kind of ridiculous engine, otherwise it isn't a true Bugatti. There is a quad turbo 16 cylinder engine that makes 1500 horsepower. There is an electronic limiter that limits this car to 261 miles per hour so no rich guy kills himself after trying to achieve the top speed. 

3. Porsche 918

The Porsche 918 is a plug in hybrid, but is is a Porsche too. There is a V8 and 2 electric motors that make a total of 887 horsepower. The Porsche 918 is the perfect hypercar. The exhaust note is right next to your ears and for the car guy addicted with sound, its perfect. The sound may be great, the performance is even greater. 0-60 in this Porsche takes 2.5 seconds according to Road and Track. It is as quick as a Bugatti Veyron, which also took 2.5 seconds when tested by Road and Track. 

4. Tesla Model X P90D

The Tesla Model X P90D isn't your average crossover. There are some really cool features. All the doors are electric so they open when you push the buttons on the remote and the giant touchscreen. There are also falcon wing doors that open upwards. Though there are cool features, the performance and electric range is also cool. The P90D has 250 miles of range and 2 electric motors that make a total of 762 horsepower. That's a good amount of power for a crossover that is electric.

5. Lamborghini Aventador

The Lamborghini Aventador is so cool that Batman drives one in the Dark Knight Rises. What makes the Aventador so cool. First of all, it has a V12 that cranks out 691 horsepower. That V12 sounds like the Batmobile. Second of all, the styling and the way everything comes together is like a fighter jet. There are scissor doors that go up. There are sharp edges that come together to form something amazing. For the interior, there is a cover on the start button to tell you that this car will be like a missile. The switches for everything make it feel like you are piloting a proper fighter jet.

6. Maserati Ghibli S Q4

Maserati Ghibli
The Maserati Ghibli S Q4 is probably one of the best sport sedans out there, There is a Ferrari V6 giving the Ghibli 404 horsepower. The Ghibli not only looks cool, but there are some Italian touches that just makes this a million times better than your average Mercedes Benz. For example, the leather and the style of the seats is proper luxury. The materials inside feel nice and look great. Though it is a luxury car, there are touches from the FCA that just bother me. The U-connect is the same one as the one found in a 20,000 dollar Dodge Dart and it is an 80,000 dollar Maserati.

7. Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is one of the best and most capable SUVs that you could buy. The size is perfect for offroading. The overhangs and the wheelbase are short, so they will not catch onto the rocks that the Wrangler is climbing up. The are some offroading tools too. There is a locking differential and the option to electronically disconnect  the sway bar. These features are standard on the Rubicon trim.

8. Subaru WRX Sti

Subaru WRX Sti
The Subaru WRX Sti is a rally car that dominates the category along with the now dead Mitsubishi Evo. The Subaru WRX Sti is powered by a 2.5 liter turbocharged engine that makes 305 horsepower. Although it isn't as insane as the Subaru WRX Sti, it still has its benefits. For one thing, it is reliable and holds 57 percent of its value after 5 years of ownership, which is very good. Though the reliabailty and ability to hold its value so well is great, the performance is still better. The WRX Sti is just as fun to drive offroad as it is to driving on the road. That's because of the superior 4 wheel drive system and proper engine for a car of its type.

9. Nissan GTR

There's a reason why the Nissan GTR is called Godzilla. The Nissan GTR is one of the least expensive and advanced Japanese supercars on the market right now. There is a twin turbocharged V6 that makes 570 horsepower. When Nissan lets their supercar engineers have some air, they fly. The Nissan GTR can hit 60 in 2.9 seconds, which is insane for a hundred grand supercar. 

10. Ram Rebel

The Ram Rebel has got to be one of the coolest trucks ever. It is designed to go offroad and compete against the Ford F150 FX4. What makes the Ram Rebel so much cooler than the F150 FX4 is the design. There is this ridiculous grill on the front that spells Ram in big letters. The carpets on the interior have a tire tread pattern. The seats also have a tire tread pattern integrated into the design.
