The five best super cars from the Geneva Motor Show

Aston Martin revealed one of the craziest cars we’ve ever seen at Geneva this year: behold the Vulcan. The British manufacturer clearly thinks a lot of its new design – it’s named after a Roman god, and you’ll need your own friends in high places if you want to nab one, because only 24 are being made and each has a £1.8m price tag. Inside this track-only beast is a 7.0 litre, V12 engine capable of 800bhp, while its bolshy carbon-fibre exterior screams “DON”T MESS WITH ME.” We’re not going to argue… 

Bentley’s new two-seater plans to give the likes of Ferrari and McLaren a run for their money, while paving the way for the brand in supercar territory. It’s just a concept for now, but it looks pretty production-ready from where we’re sitting. The interior’s lined in quilted brown leather, and features include a 12-inch curved central touch screen. The front end's distinctive looks blend big-cat-like fenders with classic headlamps, alongside a matrix grille that takes inspiration from the classic Continental GT.

We salute Swedish brand Koenigsegg for creating a petrol-electric hybrid that’s so fast it makes us sweat just writing about it. Its body is a beaut: sleek and aero in all the right places. Then there’s that engine, a 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 which pumps out 1,100bhp (yes - 1,100bhp) direct to the rear wheels. It will take over from the 9kW battery from around 30mph upwards, launching you from 93mph to 155mph in just 3.2 seconds, and topping out at a theoretical 255mph. Pacemaker, anyone?

We’ve been gawping at this so long, our jaw is starting to ache. The raging bull boasts 740bhp and 509 lb-ft of torque, encased inside a mighty 6.5-litre V12 engine. A diet of carbon fibre means the Superveloce has lost 50kg compared to the LP 700-4, so 0-62mph will take you 2.8 seconds. Imagine how quickly you’ll get to Waitrose and back in one of these…

Based around the current 650S, McLaren’s new 675LT is a harder, better, faster and stronger version – Daft Punk would bloody love it. The newcomer has been totally reengineered, with a third of its parts modified to suit its track-focused personality. Visually, the new McLaren’s got a subtly reshaped front bumper featuring a new carbon fibre front splitter, and it’s ‘Longtail’ has got bigger. Cheeky. Its 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8 engine means it’s got plenty of clout, too: power has been increased from 641bhp to a 666bhp, while torque has been bumped up to 700Nm. The result of a lighter frame and titanium exhaust will knock your socks off: 0-62mph takes 2.9 seconds. Jeez.
