A supercar is among the most coveted of all the types of sport cars out there. We’re all obsessed with top speed records and horsepower wars all the while the hypercars of today are always trying to better themselves by pushing forward and developing new technologies and innovation in order to always beat their top speed. In recent years there has been great advances in alternative propulsion, with many resorting to electric powertrains to meet ever-stricter emissions regulations.
Whether you’re looking to invest in new supercars or are simply a keen enthusiast, we here at Cars and Chronos have put together this incredible list of must-have supercars for you. From the awesome McLaren 765LT to the sleek Ferrari F8 Tributo, these are supercars your teenage self would have tacked up to his bedroom wall.
10.Chevrolet Corvette C8
The engine is a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8. The car makes 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque and comes with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission mated to the V8. This Mid-engined supercar can do 0-100 in under 3 seconds which is incredible for what it’s priced at currently.
9. Audi R8
A mid-engined supercar that doesn’t offer up a huge amount of feedback. But it’s still lightning fast, amazingly capable and very easy to live with. The R8 rides well, is easy to get in and out of, and all-round visibility is great.
8. Porsche 911 Turbo S
The engine may be in the ‘wrong’ place to be given that title, but who cares when it offers up 641bhp or 477Kw and 590lb ft of torque, making 0-62mph possible in 2.7 seconds. That’s the kind of excessive performance a supercar needs. It accelerates faster than a great deal of other cars and with a top speed of 205mph, it matches the top speed of the R8.
7.Honda NSX
The Honda may be billed as all-wheel drive, but the only thing powering the front wheels is a pair of small motors bringing a combined 74bhp to the party. That means nearly 500bhp from the 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 and the torque-filling crank motor goes directly to the rear wheels, making for a very exciting drive indeed.
6.McLaren 765LT
755bhp and 590lb ft is a lot for the rear wheels to deal with, particularly given the boosty portion in the middle of the rev range. Get on top of that, though, and the latest LT is incredibly rewarding.
5.Ferrari 812 Superfast
The 812 goes beyond being merely a ‘super GT’. How can something with a near-800bhp naturally-aspirated V12 powering the rear wheels exclusively be described as anything other than a supercar?
4. Porsche Gt2 RS
This German machine was engineered to be one of the all time great supercars. Its 3.8 litre flat 6 turbocharged engine produces an impressive 690hp and weighs a mere 1441kg. Superb damping means the ride is exceptional and allows you to take full advantage of the performance provided by the engine. No surprise it held the track record at the Nürburgring for a while.
3. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
it’s a visceral, memorable experience like no other. It’s incredibly aggressive, and despite having an all-wheel drive system, it still keeps you on your toes. And yes, that naturally-aspirated V12 – good for 759bhp in the SVJ – is a glorious thing.
2. Ferrari F8 Tributo
The days of Ferrari‘s old naturally-aspirated V8 screamers may be long gone, but the F8 Tributo more than makes up for its less than stellar exhaust note in other ways. Thanks to a blend of clever technology like Slip Slide Control and good old fashioned chassis nous, the F8 is a 710bhp car you can get on terms with surprisingly quickly.
1. Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD
Ditching all-wheel drive here doesn’t result in as dramatic a power drop as it does when opting for the related Audi R8 RWD. Lamborghini very generously gives you 602bhp to send to the rear wheels, all while the 5.2-litre V10 shrieks through a comically loud exhaust unencumbered by particulate filters.
