McLaren Senna -- 789bhp, n/a mph
Are you accustomed to the looks yet? Us neither. And the title? Hmm... maybe we'd better concentrate on the specs, which is where the brutal-looking Senna earns its keep. McLaren's brand new Ultimate Series machine develops 789bhp out of its 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8, with no hybrid in sight. McLaren hasn't disclosed top rate figures yet, however as it is a craft constructed to warp around monitors, we're expecting a headline v-max to be forfeited in the name of lap-time heroics.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS -- 691bhp, 211mph
We waited quite a while for Porsche to flip the 991-generation of 911 into a 'widowmaker'. When the 691bhp GT2 RS arrived, and we drove it, the most shocking thing was habitable and un-terrifying it was. That's modern tyres and aerodynamics for you. And consequently, the GT2 RS blitzed around the Nrburgring at a new record time of 6mins 43.7sec. Notice: to replicate such time you need to be as handy and courageous as an true expert racing driver.
Ferrari 812 Superfast -- 789bhp, 211mph
We are living in a mad, mad world. One of many pieces of evidence that this is true is that the fact that Ferrari's series-production big-booted GT car is powered by a 789bhp V12 which 'll ship it past 62mph in 2.9 seconds and on to a top rate of 211mph. If that is among the last of those classic V12 supercars, before hybrids and turbos finally kill them off, then exactly what a thing to do.
Apollo Intensa Emozione -- 769bhp, 208mph
The Apollo had us '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 only, but if all ten get sold, it'll finance a street car that'll hopefully consider at least half as bonkers. That is exactly what supercars are all about, right?
Bentley Continental Supersports -- 700bhp, 209mph
Bet you'd forgotten about this one. Yes, just before Bentley wowed us with the sleeker, more raffish new Continental GT, it created a Supersports edition of the outgoing vehicle. And the headline was quite simply this: seven hundred horsepower. And that's proper Victorian British imperial reel. It's not the most populous automobile on this list by a perimeter, but that really is actually the reigning rate champ one of Bentleys, and incongruously magnificent as a result.
