Move over Venom F5 and Chiron, Koenigsegg’s new Jesko (named after Christian von Koenigsegg’s father) is a 1,578bhp twin-turbo hypercar shooting for 300mph. Given the speedy Swedes are the current production record-holder having averaged 277mph on the road in Nevada in an Agera RS, we don’t doubt them.
Bugatti La Voiture Noire
Say hello to the most expensive new car ever built, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire. A £12m one-off hyper GT with Peruvian panpipe exhausts.
Pininfarina Battista
Thought EVs were boring? Well, the most powerful road-legal car to ever come out of Italy is electric. And it’s not a Ferrari. Or a Lamborghini. Or a Pagani. See, thanks to a 120 kWh lithium ion battery pack, the Pininfarina Battista produces approximately 1,900bhp. Which is a lot.
Aston Martin Vanquish Vision concept
The Aston Martin Vanquish is back! This time as a svelte, lightweight concept supercar designed to give Ferrari and McLaren something to think about.

While most will snake slowly through affluent quarters of capital cities, Lagonda is adamant the All-Terrain can do more.
