With concerns about emissions and the march towards EVs, you might wonder whether the traditional hypercar is living on borrowed time. Indeed, you could well conclude that it has been ever since the McLaren F1 burst onto the scene, but fortunately this doesn’t seem to be the case. Hypercars are currently enjoying something of a renaissance with our first drive of the Pagani Utopia demonstrating that the genre is very much alive and better than ever.
Hypercar buyers have never had it so good, with manufacturers embracing more modern and race-derived technologies to ensure the current crop of top-tier models are just as desirable and mind-bogglingly fast as we’ve come to expect. Following the likes of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, Mercedes-AMG One and GMA T.50 rewriting what’s possible for road cars today, there’s more to come. A new round of next-generation hypercars awaits, with the McLaren W1, Ferrari F80 and Aston Martin Valhalla waiting in the wings ready to unleash their hybrid V8s and V6s on the road for the first time. The thunderous rumble of Bugatti’s next hypercar, the Tourbillon, with its astonishing Cosworth V16, won’t be far behind them. Read on for a list of our favourites from past and present.
