Only the fastest, most expensive and ludicrous-looking cars need apply. Find out which we rate the highest
Few experiences are more exciting for a petrolhead than seeing and hearing a rare modern hypercar glide past.
These ultra-exclusive models take out-of-this-world styling and are all about achieving the peak of what’s technologically possible.
Often considered the peak of high-performance art, these exotic, expensive and explosively fast machines deliver the ultimate in driver thrills thanks to some money-no-object, cutting-edge engineering.
Sitting at the top of the performance car pecking order, the hypercar’s origins are relatively recent. If the Lamborghini Miura was the first supercar back in the 1960s, then the archetypal hypercar was arguably the 2005 Bugatti Veyron, which with its 16 cylinders, four turbochargers and 250mph top speed raised the bar to the next level.
In the two decades since that sensational debut, the number of hypercars has increased almost as quickly as the Veyron accelerated.
From pure-petrol machines to powerful plug-in hybrids and high-energy electric offerings, hypercars use many motive forces to hurl themselves at the horizon as quickly as possible.
But which of the latest hypercars do we like the most? Here are our top 10 performance paragons, each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in pursuit of performance.
Each one is a high-octane thrill ride that will have no doubt broken the speed odd record as it staked its claim on a place in the automotive hall of fame.
