The best supercars aren’t just fast. They feel, and look, like they’ve been plucked from a fever dream. Albeit a lucid one where the finest engineers in the world attempt to achieve driving perfection.
Supercar itself is a somewhat elastic term. Over the years it has stretched to fit all manner of exotica. But at their core, supercars need outrageous power and outlandish design. They need to be impactful, full of drama and they need to be somewhat brash.
Apart from that, the term supercar can be loose. No one manufacturer particularly follows a set of rules governing what a supercar is, or is not. Combustion-loving car makers still wage war with a cornucopia of options; naturally aspirated V10s, turbo’d V6s and flat plan V8s are ever present - while the Lamborghini Reveulto found on this list even adopts a PHEV V12.
To be crowned the best, though, a supercar must do more than just thrill in a straight line. It has to seduce you at walking pace, whisper promises of greatness, then deliver in full flight.
The McLaren Artura excels in all these areas, which is why it sits atop this list. Its versatility as a mid-engined supercar is special. It’s usable enough that you could actually drive it every day, yet its all-round driver engagement is better than any other car on sale.

Best for: Every day driving
The Artura has a 3.0-litre V6 and flux electric drive motor thant combine to make 690bhp, making it capable of 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds. Which is impressive.
But the reason this big Mc features at the top of this list is because if you felt like it, you could do the office commute in it, run errands and take it on trips away. And, because it’s so easy to get into and so lovely just to drive ‘normally’, you would want to. That singular usability also runs parallel with a level of performance, handling precision, control feedback and all-round driver engagement that absolutely nothing else could live with when we test it on track.
Honestly, the Artura nuked the field. Having looked, for a while, like a bit of an albatross, it has become one of the new McLaren’s crowning glories. And it’s proof that, now as always in the car business, a little bit of faith can go an awfully long way.

Slightly biased review imho... 3 McLarens and another British car that hasn't even hit the market yet?None of the Porsche 911?Ferrari F8 tributo?Audi R8
"old school approach" "six-speed manual gearbox, plus there's no anti-lock braking, traction control or airbags" is a rather noble way to commit suicide
