Aspiration is Key

1992 Porsche 968

We now live in a time where cars make power seem easy with Turbochargers and Superchargers. But, what about the cars that don't have these things? Where have they gone? Not to worry, some companies haven't been swayed by the ways of the turbo. So, here's a list of some cars that are powered by just power and pure engineering.

2009 Honda S2000

1. Honda S2000
This was and still is the fastest and most powerfully Naturally Aspirated 4-cylinder in the world with a rating of 240 horsepower and a top speed of 150 MPH. It handled corners gracefully and was a well known drifting machine. It was one of the greatest looking Hondas of it's time, since most Hondas are ugly, except the CR-Z.

2008 TVR Sagaris

 2. TVR Sagaris
It's a pantomizer this car. To this day, it still is the fastest and most powerful naturally aspirated V6 car on the planet with a power rating at 405 sharing it with its brother, the Tuscan S, and a top speed of 200 MPH. It was lightweight, quick, and unbelievably crazy. And it was all this without need of a turbo. Britain does it again!

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

3. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Germans are crazy, and it's proved with this Merc. This year, Mercedes-Benz unleashed this German beast with a new 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 563 horsepower making it the most powerful Naturally Aspirated V8 in the world. It could hit a top speed of 198 MPH and hit 60 in 3.7 seconds making it very quick. It's also very good looking with its top model LED lights and signature Gullwing Doors. So there you are, one crazy German supercar from Mercedes-Benz.

2008 Bristol Fighter S

4. Bristol Fighter S
The British have done it again! This swoopy coupe is the fastest and most powerful naturally aspirated V10 car in the world with 628 horsepower and a top speed of 210 MPH. Might I add that this was made possible because of the all-mighty Viper. Since Chrysler and Bristol have been sharing engines since 1961, Bristol thought they'd use a Viper engine in their supercar and tune it a little bit to make it better. It might be cheating, but the outcome was magnificent.

2011 Aston Martin One-77

5. Aston Martin One-77
This is the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 of all time. The numbers: 750 horsepower, 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds, 221 MPH, $1.7 Million. This is an artsy car with it's many curves and lines. It's very beautiful with big eyes and sexy grille. This is an ideal non turbo supercar. Now, it might be the most powerful, but it isn't the fastest.

1997 McLaren F1

6. McLaren F1
Even though its V12 engine was surpassed by an Aston Martin, the mighty McLaren F1 is to this day the fastest naturally aspirated car in the world with a top speed of 240 MPH with only 627 horsepower in its engine. When it was released, it was one of the greatest vehicles ever created; and it still is.

So there you are: your non-turbo heroes. Feel free to honor them.
