Ferrari F40

The most famous Ferrari of all-time. Its wedge shape is the first thing many people think of when they imagine a supercar. Produced between 1987 and 1992 it was the fastest car of its generation.

Powered by a 2.9-litre V8 with two turbochargers it produced 470bhp and was the first road legal production car to break the 200mph barrier.

Audi R8

The R8 is Audi’s first supercar – and it’s caused quite a stir. Based on the Lamborghini Gallardo but with an Audi 4.2-litre V8, it’s a 420bhp beast with incredible handling.

Suspension reacts to the road and adjusts accordingly offering comfort and incredible levels of grip. The soundtrack is V8 heaven and the cockpit is more comfortable than many an old school supercar.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

This car is very closely related to the 911 GT3 Cup racing car, which won’t come as a surprise to those lucky enough to drive it. Its speed and handling are as good as its looks would suggest.

It has a top speed of almost 200mph and accelerates from 0-60mph in 4 seconds.

The SRT-10 is a rare sight in the UK and its relatively low price makes it a supercar worth snapping up.

Ford GT

The GT began life as a concept car celebrating Ford’s centennial year – closely resembling the legendary 1960s Ford GT40 which gave the carmaker a Le Mans victory.

Pleas to build the Ford GT came in so thick and fast which the project was given the green light and a very real, very fast 550bhp homage to the GT40 was brought to life.

Lamborghini LP640

Based on the awesome Lamborghini Murcielago, the LP640 features a heavily revised and tuned 6.5-litre V12 with – you guessed it – 640bhp.

To cope with the increase in performance many parts of the car have been enhanced, including the brakes and aerodynamics. Its four-wheel-drive system sends normally sends 70 per cent of power to the rear wheels, but can send 100 per cent to either end when skidding is detected.

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was one of the first road cars fitted with carbon-ceramic brake discs which provide unbelievable stopping power and resilience. Its top speed is 210mph.

Pagani Zonda F

The ultimate iteration of the Zonda is painstakingly crafted and devastatingly fast. Its 7.3-litre Mercedes sourced engine produces 600bhp in a car weighing the same as a small hatchback.

Its lightness (1,200kgs) is thanks to its construction, utilising many high tech materials like carbon fibre.
