The fact that there's a large enough demographic to justify simple, pure sports cars like these is heart-warming. The pared-down, four-cylinder Alpine A110S and Porsche Cayman T offer just what's necessary for a brisk canyon run, but the scale of the companies behind these cars change their respective characters considerably. The Cayman T is …

Watch This 700-HP Porsche 935 Kremer K3 Tackle A Narrow Hillclimb With Ease
Navigating a narrow mountain pass requires a set of characteristics which don't necessarily lend themselves to wide, fast, open road courses.
