Best Super Car Models

The Audi R8 is regarded as an everyday-usable supercar. The naturally-aspirated V10 engine, sourced from Lamborghini, makes a good exhaust note while also showcasing top performance. The styling of the Audi R8 has also won a lot of fans over the years. The Audi R8 features the brand’s legendary Quattro all-wheel-drive system; one of the best in the business.

The Ferrari 488 GTB is one of the first modern turbocharged V8 models from the iconic Italian supercar manufacturer. Successor to the Ferrari 458 Italia, the 488 GTB is more powerful and efficient but lacks the raw sound of a naturally-aspirated V8 Ferrari engine. The Ferrari 488 Pista – the 488’s track-focussed sibling – is currently one of the fastest cars in its segment. The supercar has also got a convertible version – the Ferrari 488 Spider.

The Lamborghini Huracan is the Italian supercar brand’s best-selling product in the country. Available in coupe, convertible, rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive formats, the Lamborghini Huracan is one of the most successful models ever made by the brand. There is also a track-focussed Lamborghini Huracan Performante model which employs advanced lightweighting and functional aerodynamics (Aerodynamica Lamborghini Attiva).

The Nissan GT-R aka Godzilla is one of the most popular supercar names in the world. The current R35 GT-R is kind of a bargain buy compared to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Known as the ‘supercar killer’, the Nissan GT-R showcases enough performance to challenge supercars double its price, on a racetrack. The 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6, the all-wheel-drive system and the decades-old heritage have won the GT-R millions of fans over the years.

The Ferrari 812 Superfast is the current flagship ‘mass-production’ V12-engined model from the brand. Replacement to the F12 Berlinetta, the Ferrari 812 Superfast is a front-engined car in contrast to the brand’s conventional mid-engine layout. The 812 Superfast is also an important model for Ferrari and car enthusiasts since it is could be one of the last naturally-aspirated V12 supercars ever to be made.

The Lamborghini Aventador is considered as one of the rawest supercars in its segment. The Aventador has been on the market for quite some years now and was introduced in two more formats: SV and S; both of which are available in coupe and roadster formats. The Lamborghini Aventador has got a loud 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that comes with a rather harsh 7-speed ‘single-clutch’ transmission; something that has received mixed opinions over the years.

The Aston Martin DB11 is more of a Grand Tourer (GT) than an outright supercar. Sold in a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 or 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 avatar, the Aston Martin DB11 showcases exceptional British engineering and craftsmanship. The car is available with a host of unique customisation choices for both the exterior and interior. The Aston Martin DB series is also famous for its role in James Bond movies.

The Bentley Continental GT is a performance machine in an elegant and luxurious package. The Continental GT, as the name suggests, is aimed to be a Grand Tourer capable of doing long drives while having lots of power to be unleashed on demand. The Bentley Continental GT is available in a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 or a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 format. There is also a GT Speed edition which produces more power while weighing much less. But be it any model, the interiors of the Continental GT are well-appointed and luxurious in typical Bentley fashion.
