The Periodic Table of Sports Cars - Feature
What if Dmitri Mendeleev had been into speed?

A periodic tablet organizes elements by weight; our table aims to weigh the elements of a sports car. Like Mendeleev’s famous chart, the sports cars here are grouped according to their physical properties (see colors below). Specific years aren’t mentioned (i.e., Porsche 911, because all 911s are isotopes of each other). Oh, and if yours isn’t on here, sorry—there is room for only 118.
