Many people like sport cars and there are a lot of sport cars and many companies that make them. I will write about the two best cars. The Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 turbo. I am going to describe the similarities and differences between them.
There are several similarities between the Bugaatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 turbo. The first similarity is that they are both sport cars. The second similarity is that  both cars are fast. The third similarity is that they are very expensive cars so it’s only a few people that can buy these sport cars.
I am going to write the differences between the Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 turbo. The first difference is that the Bugatti Veyron price is very high, about $1,980,000.( Bovingdon, Jethro) The Bugatti Veyron horse power is 1001 hp which is very strong and it goes from 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.(Adams, Eric, Joe Brown,) The Bugatti Veyron top speed is 253 mph and it weighs 4350 Ib. However the Porsche 911 turbo has a lower price, between $137,360 - $140,780. The Porsche 911 turbo horse power is 480 hp which is less than the Bugatti Veyron. The Porsche 911 turbo goes from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. The Porsche 911 turbo top speed is 192 mph and it weighs between 3,650-3,750 Ib. (Renolds, Kim. "Topless Turbo)
In conclusion sport cars are very good but the problem is that not everyone can afford these cars because they are very expensive. I prefer the Porsche 911 turbo because it has a good price and its shape is better than the Bugatti Veyron. Also the spare parts are available in the Porsche company. Whereas most people can buy it, the  Bugatti Veryron  is too expensive and only rich people can buy it. The Porsche 911 turbo take less fuel than the Bugatti Veyron.

Lamborghini Performance
The LP570-4 Superleggera is the hardest Gallardo that Lamborghini makes. Here is what happens when they drop the roof. By Ben Pulman
The author Ben Pulman talks about the new Lamborghini and what  it has done for the people and the other car manufacturers. Also he compared Bentley and Ferrari with them to show that the new Lamborghini is better than them. He also talked about the Gallardo since it has begun.
The new Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera is better than the old one. It has a V10 engine that powers up 562bhp which has more horsepower  than the old one.  Its transmission has six-speeds, automated and manual,  that it can be automated while you are driving normally and when you are in the race mode you can use the manual transmission for the more power and performance.  The Superleggera Lamborghini can go from 0-100kph  in 3.9sec which is a very fast start. The Lamborghini is made from dry aluminium and the interior from carbon fiber. This is lighter for more speed. The new Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera Price starts from  $285,000 to $300,000. The new Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera is now on sale.
The new Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera is compared to other luxury cars like Ferrari, Bentley  and the R8 and the Lamborghini took the first place and is the best luxury car ever made. Its price is also good compared to other luxury cars.
