Best supercars on sale 2025
These cars are at the absolute pinnacle of performance, driving thrills and head-turning style…
The best supercars provoke a sense of pure excitement in just about everyone from young children to the most mature petrolheads. And that’s without even getting behind the wheel. A supercar’s striking appearance and sensational performance make the prospect of ownership a dream for so many people, but the equally grand prices make the supercar club a highly exclusive one.
If you are one of the fortunate – and wealthy – few, though, you’ll have a wide range of tempting options when choosing the best supercar to buy with your hard-earned cash. Whether you want a stripped-out, hardcore driver’s car or an extravaganza of technology, luxury and attention-grabbing looks, there’s a supercar for you. As the world aims to go greener, there’s also an increasing number of hybrid and electric supercar models that almost redefine the laws of physics with their fearsome acceleration.
Our list of the best supercars on sale contains a real mix of exotics, not just in terms of engine configurations but also the differing levels of luxury, wildly contrasting looks and the variety of manufacturers responsible for them.
Top 10 best supercars
These are the best supercars to buy right now, according to our team of expert road testers who have had the pleasure of driving them on roads and racetracks around the world.
1. McLaren Artura
The Artura was McLaren’s first full-production plug-in hybrid, and it got off to a shaky start in life. The launch was delayed significantly, and many publications — Auto Express included — experienced technical issues when they were finally able to drive the car.
Today, though, McLaren appears to have ironed out the bugs, so we can now concentrate on what an exceptional supercar the Artura is. It uses an unconventional wide-angle twin-turbo V6 backed up by an electric motor and a 7.4kWh battery, giving up to 19 miles of electric-only running and – more importantly for a car like this – 671bhp and 720Nm of torque.
Simply put, it’s breathtakingly fast. The Artura will hit 62mph from a standstill in three seconds dead — two-tenths faster than the seminal McLaren F1. The top speed is 205mph and although the engine is perhaps lacking a little character, there’s no doubting its potency.
Meanwhile, McLaren has strived to keep the car feeling as ‘analogue’ as possible. There’s no regenerative braking system, so the brake pedal still feels very natural, and the power steering is one of the few remaining hydraulic set-ups out there, providing amazing feedback. Finally, the Artura is light for a PHEV, tipping the scales at a very reasonable 1,498kg.
2. Ferrari 296 GTB
Just like the SF90, the Ferrari 296 GTB is further proof that plug-in hybrids don’t have to be boring – or sensible. The 296 GTB packs a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with a 7.45kWh battery and an electric motor. These work together to produce a staggering 819bhp, although Ferrari is still yet to reveal the official combined torque figure.
The transition between electric and petrol power in the 296 GTB is seamless, thanks to Ferrari’s clutch-based set-up, which allows the V6 to get to work smoothly. And once the combustion engine kicks in, its howling exhaust note sounds great. You’ll also get up to 16 purely electric miles when you don’t want to attract as much attention. Better still, the Ferrari handles with incredible poise and precision, making it a car you’ll always want to take the long way home in.
3. Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Not everyone considers the Porsche 911 to be a fully fledged supercar, but there's a strong argument for the iconic German sports car being described as such in GT3 RS form. Porsche upped the ante considerably for the 992-generation version, focusing on mechanical grip and downforce because there's only so much more power it can extract from the GT3's naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six under current emissions regulations.
And so, while 518bhp is quite modest as far as modern supercars go, the 911 GT3 RS is able to get round a track mind-bendingly quickly. The aero features include two underbody flaps, massive side skirts and an active rear wing of epic proportions. The latter includes a DRS – drag reduction system – so it doesn't hold the car back too much on the straights.
With the DRS switched off, you’re looking at a whopping 860kg of downforce. This is backed up by a sophisticated suspension set-up, which can be remotely adjusted from the cabin for bump and rebound. Overall, this Porsche is one of the closest things you can buy to a racing car for the road.
4. McLaren 750S
The McLaren 750S is best thought of as an evolution of the 720S that it has replaced, and the previous car certainly wasn’t a bad foundation on which to build. The 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine now churns out 740bhp and 800Nm of torque, and this will propel the 750S from 0-62mph in an eye-watering 2.8 seconds. Top speed stands at a healthy 208mph, and these same figures apply to the convertible model, too.
There are more developments to be found underneath as well, including larger brakes, faster steering and improved damping. While it may look similar at first glance, the 750S is a much more exciting and engaging car to drive than its predecessor. Regardless of its immense power, we found it refreshingly straightforward to get familiar with and ultimately coax the very best out of this McLaren.
5. Ferrari 12Cilindri
There are no prizes for guessing how many cylinders that this particular supercar’s engine has, but we’ll award a few points if you can figure out which classic car inspired the Ferrari 12Cilindri’s styling. The answer, of course, is the Ferrari Daytona, and the 12Cilindri can be thought of as a modern tribute to this sixties legend. That being said, this is much more than a mere homage.
Not only is the car a serious head-turner, at its heart is a 6.5-litre V12 that sends all of its 819bhp to the rear wheels. This somewhat old-school powertrain is well suited to the sixties-inspired looks, and it makes for a very raw driving experience. This is a car for the well funded driving enthusiast, but the sad news is that it could be the last of its kind due to ever-increasing emissions regulations.
6. Aston Martin Vanquish
James Bond is yet to get his hands on the latest Aston Martin Vanquish, but this brawny supercar already oozes class and cool. Unlike many Aston engines of the past, the brand’s latest 5.2-litre V12 has two turbochargers strapped to it, and the result is 823bhp and 1,000Nm of torque. This allows the 1,835kg to charge on to a top speed of 214mph.
Naturally, being an Aston, it’s not just performance that’s on offer here. The Vanquish’s interior is a luxurious affair with plenty of top-shelf materials. There’s a lot of tech, too, although we found the tiny on-screen text a bit tough to read. That being said, the infotainment system is worlds apart from the brand’s older systems. At the back of the Vanquish is a 248-litre boot, so the occasional grand tour won’t be out of the question.
7. Lamborghini Revuelto
When Lamborghini announced that it was introducing hybrid power to its line-up, many supercar fans around the globe feared that efficiency was about to tame the iconic raging bull. As soon as the covers were pulled from the Lamborghini Revuelto, though, those fears were quickly quashed. There’s no downsized engine here, because combustion power still comes from a 6.5-litre V12 – but now it’s accompanied by three electric motors. This combination results in a total of 1,001bhp and 725Nm of torque, which makes the Revuelto one of the most powerful cars the brand has ever built.
Perhaps the best news, though, is that the Revuelto still retains that crucial Lamborghini character when it comes to driving. At no point during testing did we feel like the tech was taking over, which made for some very enjoyable, analogue-feeling thrills. One of the only snags we found was a bit of discrepancy between the regenerative and mechanical braking systems. This made for a slightly inconsistent feel to the pedal, but the drama and entertainment soon distracted us from this fairly minor complaint.
8. Maserati MC20
The MC20 marked Maserati’s long-awaited return to the supercar market – its last model was the MC12, which arrived in 2004. The MC20 certainly has an appropriate sense of occasion, and its jaw-dropping design never fails to attract attention. Its beauty is more than skin deep, though, because it drives even better than it looks.
While the MC20’s engine note isn’t hugely dramatic, the performance it delivers is. Maserati’s supercar uses a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces 621bhp to propel it from 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds. It’s also precise, delicate and agile to drive, despite its suspension offering a surprisingly forgiving ride in the softest of its three settings. The interior is also balanced enough that it delivers the road-going racer experience while still providing a decent level of comfort.
9. Chevrolet Corvette C8
With a shift to a mid-engine layout for the latest ‘C8’ generation, the Chevrolet Corvette has evolved into a genuine American alternative to the European supercar elite. The 475bhp offered up by its naturally aspirated V8 might seem a little sedate compared with some of the cars here, but the Corvette still has more than enough performance to trouble plenty of the competition. The snappy dual-clutch automatic gearbox helps it achieve a 3.5-second 0-62mph time, while the top speed is 184mph.
If you like the sound of things so far, you’ll be pleased to hear that the Corvette is no longer a piece of ‘forbidden fruit’ for us in the UK. The C8 is officially sold here – and in right-hand-drive form.
10. Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale
The Ferrari F40 is considered by many as one of the all-time greatest supercars, so to say that the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale is its spiritual successor is a very bold claim. That’s exactly what we’re saying, though, because this is the iconic Italian brand’s most track-focused supercar to date.
Take one look at the SF90 XX Stradale and you’ll quickly notice how Ferrari’s engineers have put plenty of effort into making it as aerodynamic as possible. Of course, a slippery body is only part of the equation, and powering this model is a four-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine that works in tandem with three electric motors. The result is a stonking 1,016bhp and 804Nm of torque. Thanks to the addition of instant electric acceleration, this SF90 will launch itself from 0-62mph in only 2.3 seconds. In fact, it’ll even dash from 0-124mph in just 6.5 seconds. However, due to the increased focus on downforce and cornering capabilities, the Stradale will only reach a top speed of 199mph.
