Mercedes AMG GT-R 
The Mercedes AMG GT-R debuted at Goodwood to huge crowd approval, not only for its great looks but also for the way it nailed the twisting hill climb. Active aerodynamic design, 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, 585 hp, 7-speed dual clutch transmission and active rear-wheel steering are why many are calling it the ultimate supercar.

LaFerrari Supercar Convertible 
A $1M price tag hasn’t stopped the LaFerrari Supercar Convertible from selling out ahead of its Paris Auto Show debut in October. This limited edition, carbon-fibre hard or soft top, features the “F1-derived hybrid” combining an electric motor and Ferrari’s classic V12 to go from 0 to 125 in under seven seconds.

Koenigsegg One:1
Sweden’s Koenigsegg calls its limited production One:1 the “world’s first megacar” and they’re not exaggerating. Batmobile-like styling marries a carbon-fiber/Kevlar body with Le Mans-inspired active wings to a twin-turbocharged V-8:1 that goes from 0 to 250 in 20 seconds and tops out at 267 mph.

Elemental RP-1
Also debuting was Elemental’s first road-ready RP-1. This carbon-fiber “racecar for the road” features F1-style drive positioning, pushrod suspension and a 2-litre model that explodes from 0 to 55 in three seconds and hits an estimated top speed of 160 mph.
