Ford GT -- 646bhp, 220mph
The Ford GT was first shown to stunned onlookers at the Detroit motor show way back at the beginning of 2015. It took until 2017 for anybody to get behind the wheel on the street. By that point, the race version had already taken a class victory at Le Mans. The street car shouldn't work. Hurry cars that end up on your way rarely do. But the GT handles to ride properly, handle skilfully and stay up to its newer-than-space-age looks. A landmark car.
Hennessey Venom F5 -- 1600bhp (claimed), 290mph (promised )
Hennessey's back again, and he's heading for 300mph. The Venom F5, successor to the car that hit 270mph and recognized Hennessey for a player in the top rate supercar game, is called after F5 category storms, which have a windspeed rating of around 318mph. Would the Texan underdog really take it to the might of the VW Group, and Koenigsegg? 2017's show of the new Venom has been the opening shot of round two. Place your bets...
BMW M760Li -- 602bhp, 155mph
This unassuming pluto-barge is, in actuality, the most powerful, fastest road-going BMW ever produced. It's not even a true M automobile, however, the bi-turbo V12 that lurks from the bloated nostrils of this ultimate 7 Series is an actual monster among motors. It develops 602bhp, and thanks to xDrive 4x4 delivering the grip, it can launch from 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds. So it's quicker than the i8, faster than an M3, and upward before the new M5 has been disclosed, was unassailable in the BMW range for speed. It's not so much a flagship for a destroyer.
Tesla Roadster -- n/a bhp, 250mph (claimed)
Making no noise at all, on the other hand, is Tesla's first entry into the supercar bear-pit. That's fine though -- Twitter and internet forums create more than enough sound to compensate for your silence of electric motors. In the event the new Roadster ever does see the light of day, we're promised a 620-mile range, functionality to embarrass a Bugatti, and all for a relatively reasonable $200,000. It might be a utopian supercar. Now all Tesla has to do is bring it to market on time.
McLaren Senna -- 789bhp, n/a mph
Are you used to the looks yet? Us neither. And the title? Hmm... maybe we'd better concentrate on the specs, which is where the brutal-looking Senna earns its keep. McLaren's new Ultimate Series machine grows 789bhp from its 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8, with no hybrid in sight. McLaren hasn't revealed top rate figures yet, but as it is a craft constructed to warp around monitors, we're expecting a headline v-max to be sacrificed in the name of lap-time heroics.
