Apollo Intensa Emozione -- 769bhp, 208mph
The Apollo had us at 'Batmobile-inspired styling'. Then it kept on winning us over with its 769bhp Ferrari-derived V12 and purist inspirations. The IE is designed for track work just, but when all ten get sold, it'll finance a road car that'll hopefully look at least half as bonkers. This is what supercars are all about, right?
Lamborghini Aventador S -- 730bhp, 217mph
Talking of V12s, Lamborghini's flagship had a proper workover in 2017 in order to keep up with this aptly-named 812 Superfast. The Aventador S's big innovation is rear-wheel steering, that provides the new big bull something coming agility, but the excess 40bhp wrung in the 6.5-litre V12 is a bonus worth having.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS -- 691bhp, 211mph
We waited quite a while for Porsche to flip the 991-generation of 911 into a 'widowmaker'. After the 691bhp GT2 RS came, and we drove it, the most shocking thing was how habitable and un-terrifying it had been. That's modern tyres and aerodynamics for you. And as a result, the GT2 RS blitzed across the Nrburgring at a new record time of 6mins 43.7sec. Notice: to replicate this time you need to be as handy and courageous as an actual professional racing driver.
Tesla Roadster -- n/a bhp, 250mph (claimed)
Making no sound at all, on the other hand, is Tesla's first entrance into the supercar bear-pit. That's okay though -- Twitter and internet forums create more than enough sound to compensate for your silence of electrical motors. If the new Roadster actually does see the light of day, we're guaranteed a 620-mile selection, performance to embarrass a Bugatti, and for a relatively reasonable $200,000. It might be a utopian supercar. Now all Tesla has to do is bring it to market in time.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid -- 670bhp, 192mph
When we drove the 550bhp Panamera Turbo S, nothing about its batty functionality made us feel to be an 'S' version was necessary. However, Porsche is, it appears, even sillier than the likes of us. So it added power to the Panamera, using lessons it learned in the progression of the 918 Spyder hypercar. How you might ever need this much car in your own life is beyond us, but if you're late to get a Greenpeace conference, or fearful of flying, this can be a massive continent crusher that can't run out of cost.
Lamborghini Huracn Performante -- 641bhp, 205mph
It's a sign of how spoiled we've gotten by supercar power stats that the Huracn's vital numbers almost look a tad limp in this provider. No matter -- this is the very best car Lamborghini has ever produced. It's barely any less user unfriendly than the standard Huracn, the downforce created is truly spellbinding, and we'll head out on a limb here and say that the baby Lambo may well function as best-sounding automobile with this whole list. Naturally aspirated V10s for-the-win.
