Why do people say that European sport cars have better fuel economy?

The general consensus is that European cars, including their sport cars, have better fuel economy than their competitors (this especially the case when compared to American automobiles). Almost every "Car with the Worst MPG" list (or one with a similar title) almost every sport car on those list are either models of wither Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, and other European models. If these different lists all have these same models in their count then there must be something to these similarities (in this case that these European sports cars have worse fuel economy than those from non-European manufacturers).

So why do people keep stating the opposite of what appears to be the truth in this case? Can someone explain this clearly to mean?

Btw this question is only about sport cars.



Answer
I never heard of people saying that Euro cars are more efficient.

But anyways, look at Porsche. They have some of the cleanest running engines. In big cities, the city air going into the intake is dirtier than the air coming out of the exhaust. So it is like a vacuum cleaner.

And the 480HP+ Porsche 911 Turbo that reaches 193mph and goes from 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds gets 25mpg highway and 18mpg city. There is no competing supercar that comes close to those figures.

What is a good sports car that have good fuel economy?

I wanna buy a nice sports car that looks cool and also have a good fuel economy. Like 25 MPG.


Answer
Depending on how much you want to spend, I'd say that you should look at www.porsche.com and look at whatever suits your taste. Most of the models get between 24 and 27 MPG. But they are quite expensive, so like I said before, it all depends on how much you are willing you spend.

Here are some specs for the basic model of the Porsche Boxter: 255 hp @ 6,400 rpm; 0-60 mph: 5.6 seconds; Top Speed: 163 mph; Fuel Consumption (Highway): 27 mpg (Manual Transmission).

MSRP $ 48,100.00

Porsche also makes a kind of Automatic Transmission that they call "Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)", which can be purchased for $ 51,520.00
