Best supercars in 2025

It's fitting that the company making the best supercar today is the same one that invented the genre nearly 60 years ago with the Miura. We're talking about Lamborghini, whose Revuelto packs an incredibly 1,015PS punch, using, just like the Miura, a V12 engine.

However, the only similarity between the engine in the Revuelto and the Miura is the cylinder count. The modern version is an engineering marvel using a superbike-inspired valvetrain to help it achieve a whopping 814PS on its own, and rev to 9,500rpm. It's joined by a trio of electric motors - two at the rear axle and one at the front - to provide that ridiculous four-figure output.

It's a plug-in hybrid, but has a smaller battery than the average PHEV at 3.8kWh. This keeps the weight down to a reasonably respectable level, while still allowing for up to five miles of electric-only running. 

Perhaps the best thing about the Revuelto is the way the V12 angrily barks into life on the move when you demand more power than the electric part of the powertrain can provide. And yes, put your foot down, and the outside world will start to get very blurry.

The price for all this? Well over £400,000. Gulp. 

The last time Ferrari put a V6 in its cars, it was in the Dino 246GT of the 1960s, and the engine in question made all of about 200PS. When bringing back six-cylinder engines to its range much more recently, then, things were quite a bit different.

The Ferrari 296 uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre engine which, when combined with an electric motor sitting between it and the dual-clutch gearbox, makes for an output four-and-a-bit times greater than the old Dino's. 

We'd argue that it sounds just as good as the V8 in the now-discontinued F8 Tributo, and yes, it's stupidly quick, hitting 0-62mph in just 2.9 seconds and going on to a top speed of 215mph. It has a more docile side, too, with its 7.4kWh battery pack giving up to 15.5 miles of quiet and relaxing electric-only running. 

Want one? It's over £240,000 for the GTB coupe version, while the drop-top 296 GTS is around £280,000. 

The McLaren Artura had a troubled birth, with initial production pushed back several times. Now, though, McLaren's first hybrid is an established player on the supercar scene, not to mention an extremely exciting one.

In theory, it's not a rival to the Ferrari 296 we talked about above, with a much lower price point and a fair bit less power. But the similarities mean you can't help but mention both in the same sentence. It too has a twin-turbo V6 supplemented by an electric motor, and even the battery size is exactly the same at 7.4kWh. 

It'll actually go a bit further than the Ferrari on electric power alone - up to 19 miles according to McLaren's figures. Working in unison, the engine and the electric stuff belt out 700PS, making for a 0-62mph time of three seconds and a top speed of 205mph. It doesn't make as good a noise as the Ferrari, but it's still extremely exciting to drive, and for a supercar, it even rides quite well. 

It'll cost you £190,000 for the coupe, and just over £220,000 for the 'Spider' convertible version.

A 3.0-litre V6 engine, 630HP, 0-62mph in under three seconds, a top speed of over 200mph, butterfly doors and fighter-jet aesthetics. There’s no denying the MC20 is a proper supercar.

The cabin is clad with leather, Alcantara and carbon fibre, and there are minimal switches and buttons. Maserati has instead opted for a touchscreen display and a large digital cluster to control most of the functions. 

Let's just gloss over the fact there are some buttons and switches we recognise from considerably cheaper products from the Stellantis car-making giant to which Maserati belongs, because put your foot down, and you'll forget all about them.

It’s got the looks, it’s got the performance, and it’s got the customary supercar limited luggage space. Oh, and the price? It starts at around £230,000. Super.

That isn't a typo - despite how the picture might look, what you're looking at is not a McLaren 720S. It's the McLaren 750S, with that subtle change in the name counting for a great deal. 

According to the Woking-based company, the new 750S shares only 30% of its components with the outgoing model, along with restyled front and rear bumpers to help distinguish the two cars. The newer one still uses a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but this time, it belts out an unholy 750PS (hence the car's designation).

0-62mph happens in just 2.9 seconds, while the top speed is 206mph. It's the 0-124mph time that's perhaps the most impressive stat of all, though - that takes just 7.3 seconds. It's yours for £250,000, which, compared to some of the cars on here, almost makes the 750S look like good value. 

A lot of people don't consider the Porsche 911 to be a supercar. Perhaps that's because you can buy a relatively ordinary version like the base Carrera, maybe it's because the engine is in the rear rather than the middle, or it could be something to do with the Porsche brand being less exotic than the likes of Lamborghini and Ferrari. 

We're going to go out on a limb, though, and say that if any 911 deserves to be classified a supercar, it's the Turbo S. While it's not all about speed, it's worth pointing out that the most recent version of the car can accelerate from 0-62mph in 2.7 seconds, which is faster than most of the other options we'll talk about on page. 

It also has bags of character from its atypical flat-six engine, and is outrageously capable thanks to its all-wheel drive system. Plus, it's about to get faster still, with an updated version on the way. 

Given that all of the facelifted versions of the 911 we've seen thus far have benefitted from increases in performance, a healthy bump on the 650PS punted out by the outgoing Turbo S seems a given. We're going to guess 700PS. 

It might not look quite as good as the F12 Superfast it replaces, but the Ferrari 12cilindri is still one of the most desirable cars on the planet. Yes, as you might have guessed from that enormously long bonnet, the engine is in what some might consider the 'wrong' place for a supercar, but with that prancing horse badge sitting on the front bumper an 830PS at the driver's command, its credentials surely can't be questioned. 

You'll need to rev the 12cilindri's 6.5-litre, naturally aspirated V12 all the way up to the spine-tingling heights of 9,250rpm to achieve that power output, and for good measure, you can keep revving another 250rpm beyond that, should you want. 

Some care will be needed when deploying all that firepower, as the £366,500 12cilndri is, much like its predecessor, still rear-wheel drive. Ferrari won't ever make another car like it. 

It wasn't that long ago that Aston Martin was talking about making a mid-engined, V6-powered Vanquish which would be very close to the stereotypical supercar remit. Both the engine project and the car ended up getting binned off amidst a huge shake-up for the brand, and while there is the mid-engined Valhalla on the way, we reckon that's more of a hypercar, given its limited production line and £850,00 price tag. 

We digress, because who cares about any of that when the latest Vanquish packs a 5.2-litre, twin-turbo V12 punch to the tune of 835PS, rather than a V6 which wouldn't have been anywhere near as potent. All of that goes to the rear, by the way, and speaking of, we are quite partial to that squared-off bum that makes the new Vanquish look a bit like Astons of the 70s, 80s and 90s. 

It's 5PS up on the 12cilindri, yet costs over £25,000 less. And so, it's a bargain. Sort of. 

We're going to bring up that engine placement debate once more, because the Chevrolet Corvette has up until recently had its engine up front. The latest C8 switches that to a mid-mounted placement, though.

Factor in fact the latest Corvette Z06 is good for 679PS from its 5.5-litre V8, and we reckon you have something that can be called a supercar. We haven't even gotten to the best part, yet, which is that this track-focused 'Vette is now officially on sale in the UK, and even in right-hand drive. 

We've had to wait a lot longer than those across the pond, who've been able to buy one since 2022, and you'll pay a lot more here. £180,000, in fact, which is roughly double the base price in the USA. Ouch. 

Much like the Porsche 911, there are only some versions of the Mercedes-AMG GT you might consider a supercar. The entry-level 43 with its inline-four engine (not sold in the UK) is more of a sports car, and the GT 55 probably doesn't have quite the potency to escape a similar description. 

The GT 63 with 585PS, a 0-62mph time of 3.2 seconds and a supercar-like £165,000 price tag is closer to what we're looking for, but if that's not enough for you, how about the GT 63 E Performance? It supplements the 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 found in the 55 and 63 with an electric motor and a 4.84kWh battery pack, for some dramatic results.

The electrical boost punts the total output beyond 800PS, and drops the 0-62mph time to 2.8 seconds, despite the fact the GT 63 E Performance weighs a chunky 2,340kg. As for the price, don't expect much change from £200,000 by the time you've added options.
