90s nostalgia is hitting new heights and that includes looking back at the best cars from the decade. It was a golden period where many companies brought out vehicles that have come to define them.

It was also a time of cultural revolution, especially with video games such as Gran Turismo, which came out in 1997. There were also films such as Gone in 60 Seconds that came out in 2000 and paid homage to many of the cars from the previous decade.

It means there is a whole generation that looks back at cars from the nineties with great affection. This is why we wanted to see which were the 10 best sports cars of the decade.

These are cars you’ve probably used in games, seen on film, and some of you might have been lucky enough to drive in real life. Let’s jump right in and see which cars made the cut!

1. Honda NSX (1990)

At the turn of the decade, Honda wasn’t exactly known for creating supercars. When they revealed the NSX, people were shocked. It was a bold move from the company and one that paid off spectacularly.

That was possible due to it being designed with the help of the great Ayrton Senna. The result was a truly fantastic car with a 3.0-liter engine and a powerful V6. This wasn’t a sensible economy car, it was a finely tuned beast.

As with everything Honda makes, it was engineered with precision. It was light and fast with an exceptional gearbox which helped to give the car an excellent feel and response.

It perhaps didn’t have the raw look and aggression many people love in a supercar but it has stood the test of time. It made great leaps in automotive engineering and helped pave the way for everything that came after. 

2. Lamborghini Diablo (1990)

When talking about the NSX, we mentioned a lack of aggressiveness in its design. In that respect, the Diablo is the antithesis of it. There is something unmistakably Lamborghini about its design, which had evolved from the Countach that came out in the 70s.
