Supercars

As spring follows winter, as day follows night, so a convertible is sure to follow a good Ferrari. When the F8 Tributo first appeared in March this year, the clock began to tick. Today, it has tocked, and now the F8 series has its own hairdryer: the 710-horsepower F8 Spider.

Italy's Puritalia Automobili is bringing its classy Berlinetta hybrid supercar out to Salon Privé at England's Blenheim Palace. This 965-hp, 1,248-Nm, 208-mph supercharged monster, with its artificially intelligent driving modes, is going on sale, with only 150 to be built.

After cheekily first unveiling it in a freaking mobile phone game, Pagani has announced its Huayra BC Roadster. While it looks just like the old one with the roof chopped off, it's actually had a fair bit of work done to justify its US$3-million-plus price tag.

Scottish race team Ecurie Ecosse has announced it's building 25 street-legal supercars based on an interesting thought: what if they'd discovered the iconic V12 Jaguar XJ13 and developed it up into an endurance racer back in 1969, to take on the mighty Ford GT40?

Jaguar's most extreme performance car ever has just stamped its authority on the Nurburgring – again – belting out a time a whopping seven seconds faster than any other four-door production car has managed. All hail the world's fastest family sedan.

There's no such thing as a GT2 championship, but Audi doesn't think that situation will last, and it's bringing out its most extreme customer race car yet in anticipation. The R8 LMS GT2 is a track-only, race-ready V10 beast making 640 hp and over 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque.

There's nowhere better in the world than Goodwood if you want to see priceless exotic cars getting the pants thrashed off them. One million-dollar dream machine after another comes fanging up the hillclimb course, roaring the music of their people to a very appreciative crowd.

When was the last time you saw curves like this on a car? Possibly back in the 1960s with designs like the early Corvette Stingray, which was one of the places De Tomaso drew inspiration for its big return to the stage with this curvaceous, hyper-analog P72 supercar.

Automakers have spent all kinds of resources previewing futuristic cars that will drive themselves. BMW takes a sharp right turn with the Vision M Next concept, exploring what the future of cars will look like for enthusiasts who want to keep their leather-clad fingers around the steering wheel.
