Many supercar manufacturers spent years developing their engines to make them faster, adapting construction materials to make them lighter, and focusing on obliterating world records for the fastest production vehicle as a means of gaining positive press and shifting units. The world record (for speed) is currently held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (with an officially recorded top speed of 269mph), although it is inevitable that others will develop even faster

engines for road-legal production vehicles. In February 2014, the Hennessey Venom GT achieved an impressive 270mph, although this has not yet been given as an official record. This publication explores a selection of the best supercars to date including the most popular models from Aston Martin, Jaguar, McLaren, Nissan, Bugatti, Porsche, Ferrari, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Mercedes, Gumpert, Noble, Pagani, and more.

Strength, speed, agility, and stunning cosmetic qualities are what define the term “supercar.” While supercars are intentionally built for the elitist upper-end of the market, technological developments have allowed certain car manufacturers to lower production costs, even during financially difficult times. As long as you have a very healthy bank account, you can probably afford to buy one of these revolutionary vehicles.
