INTRODUCTION

If you’re desperately keen to show the world that you’re doing very
well for yourself, one way of doing it is having a supercar on your
driveway. However, owning a truly great supercar also shows petrol-
heads you have an excellent taste. These cars could never be described
as cheap or affordable, but in return for your hard earned money, they
offer you exceptional performance, luxurious finish and the power to
turn heads wherever you go.

Supercars come from all kinds of manufacturers. Established brands like Ferrari,
Porsche, McLaren and Lamborghini have been producing supercars for years,
Whoever makes them, all supercars have fearsome price tags and typically cost
a fortune to run. But the trade-off is scintillating performance and the capacity

Our top 10 features supercars that really do tick all of the boxes - they are power-
ful, packed with tech, stunning to look at and, importantly, still great to live with
day-to-day. We think the car that manages this best is the superb McLaren 720S.
However, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Ferrari are also storied names
in the supercar world, and their cars play a major part in this list...

The Centodieci races from zero to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds, to 124 mph in 6.1 seconds
and to 186 mph in 13.1 seconds. Like its cousin the Chiron, Bugatti electronically lim-
ited the top speed of the car to 236 mph It’s about 44 pounds lighter than the Chiron.
Bugatti did that with a lot of carbon fiber. The car’s windshield wipers and stabilizers
both use the material, creating a power-to-weight ratio of just 2.5 pounds per horse-
power.
