How much better can the best get? Sheer traction alone will limit the latest offerings from Lamborghini and Ferrari from hitting 62mph much faster than the 2.8 seconds of the Aventador 750-4 SV and the 3.1 seconds of the F12 Berlinetta. The 2010s have seen McLaren enter the mix too, also hitting 2.8 seconds with their 904BHP hybrid the McLaren P1, and their persuit of technological perfection has brought us the 650s, a refined vision of last decade’s offering.
These cars almost defy superlatives, though we do our best below, while the Aston Martin Vanquish V12 supercar remains the elegant alternative for the sophisticate who wants to ease their way past the traffic in sumptuous luxury.
