As the year 2011 draws to a close, we’re bound to encounter some type of Best Of The Year award for just about everything we subscribe to. This little video piece, assembled by Evo Magazine, covers the 2011 European Car Of The Year. They brought out some of the most coveted new cars from Stuttgart to Maranello to Tokyo. Here is the shortlist of contenders:
- Aston Martin V8 Vantage S
- BMW 1 Series M Coupe
- BMW M5
- Ferrari FF
- Jaguar XKR-S
- Lamborghini Aventador
- Lotus Elise CR
- McLaren MP4-12C

The test took place in Portugal at the Portimao race circuit, giving Team Evo the ability to evaluate the cars on the track and along mountain roads. Take a look at the video clip and let us know which car you think deserves top honors for 2011. Also, if you’d like TFG to do a series of ‘Best Of’ posts, let us know, and we’ll plan some cool stuff before year’s end.
