Ferrari 296 GTB
Starting Price: Approximately $338,000
From my vantage point, the 296 GTB represents a seismic shift for Ferrari, yet it achieves this with such captivating brilliance that it quickly silenced any purist skepticism. This was Maranello’s initial foray into a V6 engine for a series-production mid-engined road car, a powertrain now powering Scuderia’s Le Mans triumph and their F80 hypercar. While a V6 and hybrid powertrain technology might sound like a fuel-efficiency play, the 296 GTB’s V6 was, at its release, the most powerful factory six-cylinder ever built, unleashing a combined 819 horsepower. That’s a significant leap for its class, pushing it firmly into Ferrari hybrid performance territory.
Pros: The sheer dynamism and balance of this machine are breathtaking. Its immensely appealing V6 delivers a searing soundtrack, and the chassis is so brilliantly calibrated that it dances with a playful edge, using its advanced stability and traction systems to make the car feel impossibly agile. It’s an intoxicating drive.
Cons: The hybrid tech adds weight, which, while masterfully masked, is still a factor. Ferrari’s user interfaces, while improving, still lag behind the car’s mechanical perfection, presenting a sometimes frustrating array of screens and menus.
But honestly, once you’re behind the wheel, such minor quibbles melt away. The 296 GTB’s driving experience is a revelation, a testament to how Ferrari has not just embraced but excelled in the age of the hybrid supercar. It’s a mid-engined supercar that redefines engagement. As I experienced on its initial launch, the responsiveness of its chassis is profound, delivering on Ferrari’s promise of making it “fun to drive.” The steering is light, precise, and communicative, and while grip levels are stratospheric, it remains throttle-adjustable in a way that just begs you to explore its limits. For luxury supercar reviews, this one consistently shines.
Alternatives: The McLaren 750S offers a slightly lighter, more focused, though less acoustically charismatic, alternative. Keep an eye out for Lamborghini’s upcoming Temerario, which promises an insane 10,000rpm redline and over 900bhp.
Aston Martin Vantage
Starting Price: Approximately $195,000
The latest Aston Martin Vantage isn’t just an update; it’s a redefinition. Historically, the Vantage has walked the tightrope between a sophisticated luxury sports car and a full-blown supercar. This new iteration unequivocally steps closer to the latter. Designed to embody Aston Martin’s refreshed brand identity – sharper, more potent, and technologically advanced – the results are nothing short of spectacular. This isn’t merely evolution; it’s a revolution for Aston Martin luxury sports car enthusiasts.
Pros: It’s a beautifully sculpted super GT that now possesses a truly explosive split personality. The driving experience is natural, intuitive, and deeply rewarding, feeling like a true Aston Martin at its core.
Cons: While immensely capable, it still inherently carries a touch less of the overt exoticism found in some “proper” mid-engined supercars.
Under the hood, its 4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 now thumps out a colossal 656 horsepower – a staggering 153bhp increase over its predecessor. The chassis, too, has been meticulously re-engineered for faster reactions and surgical precision. I’ve spent significant time pushing this car, and its dynamic prowess is undeniable. Despite the monumental power, the Vantage maintains an organic, connected feel. The suspension is firm, yet the controls are so fluid that you can confidently lean into its vast grip reserves, aided by a sophisticated suite of electronics, including variable traction control. It’s a superbly balanced car with thunderous performance, embodying the essence of a modern British performance vehicle. As one of our top testers noted, it “eggs you on from the onset and then rewards you richly for being easily led.”
Alternatives: The Vantage has steroid-enhanced its price and performance to such an extent that a Porsche 911 Carrera S is no longer a direct rival. Even a Carrera GTS, while excellent, falls short by around 120 horsepower. For a genuine alternative, you might look towards a proper supercar like the McLaren Artura, though its clinical precision contrasts with the Aston’s effervescent character.
Maserati MC20
Starting Price: Approximately $260,000
The Maserati MC20 is a rare gem in the elite performance vehicle segment. It doesn’t rely on outlandish gadgetry or overt glamour, but instead captivates with the purity of its driving experience. While some newer rivals might have technically surpassed it in raw track metrics since its debut, the MC20’s allure remains incredibly strong, a testament to its singular focus. It’s an Italian exotic car that whispers rather than screams, yet demands profound respect.
Pros: Absolutely stunning aesthetics paired with an enthralling, characterful powertrain. The chassis delivers a unique blend of aggression and surprising compliance.
Cons: The brake pedal feel can sometimes be long and inconsistent under hard use, a minor but noticeable flaw for a car of this caliber.
At its core, the MC20 boasts a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, expertly crafted by Dallara. Nestled within this foundation is Maserati’s own twin-turbocharged V6, the “Nettuno,” which incorporates Formula 1-derived pre-combustion chamber technology – a first for a road car. This innovative powerplant, combined with two turbochargers, generates a potent 621 horsepower. But the true beauty of the MC20 lies in its setup. It’s aggressive, sharp, and profoundly agile, yet it possesses a surprising ride quality that allows it to glide over imperfect surfaces with a composure reminiscent of an Alpine A110, an unexpected trait in a Maserati performance engineering marvel. As an exclusive sports car driving experience, it is both immensely satisfying and distinctly different from its rivals. Our testers have praised its “absolute firecracker” powertrain, noting its smooth, punchy, yet feral side.
Alternatives: The Aston Martin Vantage is a strong contender if you’re considering an MC20, offering excellent dynamics and a characterful V8. The McLaren Artura, meanwhile, ups the ante on precision, steering feel, and technology, delivering true supercar exoticism with its sci-fi aesthetic and signature dihedral doors.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS Manthey Racing kit
Starting Price: Approximately $210,000 (plus approx. $100,000 for Manthey kit)
Let’s momentarily set aside Porsche’s insistence on labeling its 911 as a “sports car,” not a supercar. Because, with the current GT3 RS, especially equipped with the Manthey Racing kit, you are unequivocally in the realm of the most desirable and extreme track weapons on sale today. This isn’t a poser’s car; it’s the most uncompromising, road-legal iteration of a 911 ever built, a pure distillation of Porsche track performance.
Pros: The engine is an enthralling masterpiece, the driving experience is unparalleled, and its racer-for-the-road looks are intimidatingly purposeful.
Cons: It lacks the “supercar” power figures of some rivals, and the intense road noise can be relentless on anything but perfectly smooth tarmac.
The latest GT3 RS is an intense, firm-riding, and loud experience. Its steering is so quick and precise that a slight twitch can send you across lanes. The cabin noise, primarily from the massive rear tires on rough surfaces, is a constant companion, alongside the all-consuming wail of the 9000rpm redline. With “just” 518 horsepower, its numbers might seem modest among this company, but in terms of raw performance, lap times, and visceral engagement, the RS is almost unbeatable. I’ve seen it humble purpose-built track toys like the Radical SR3 XXR and Ariel Atom 4R in direct comparisons. It’s a testament to the fact that faster isn’t always about more power; it’s about brilliant engineering and downforce. The Manthey kit elevates this further, optimizing aerodynamics and chassis for otherworldly grip, truly transforming it into a lightweight sports car optimized for absolute speed. As our editor-at-large observed, “the faster you go, the better this car feels.”
Alternatives: In its Manthey-kitted form, the GT3 RS operates in a rarefied atmosphere. You’re almost looking at Cup cars or even hypercars like a McLaren Senna or Aston Martin Valkyrie for direct comparison in terms of aero dominance. For a road-legal alternative, a McLaren 620R offers a similar no-compromise, track-focused experience.
McLaren 750S
Starting Price: Approximately $300,000
In an era increasingly dominated by electrification, the McLaren 750S is a refreshing, unadulterated shot of turbocharged fury. It’s built upon the formidable foundation of the 720S, a car that won accolades for its brilliance. The 750S takes that formula – carbon fiber chassis, mid-engined twin-turbo V8, hydraulic steering – and refines it to an astonishing degree, creating an even more exciting and usable McLaren high-performance coupe.
Pros: Astonishing performance, sublime balance, and glorious, communicative steering.
Cons: The V8, while potent, can feel slightly industrial compared to the sonic drama of some rivals. It can also be a bit spikey at the absolute limit.
The 4-liter twin-turbo V8 now pumps out 740 horsepower, and McLaren has fitted shorter gear ratios for an even more intense power delivery. Critically, it remains a featherweight at just 2,982 lbs (dry), a significant advantage in the modern context. McLaren’s engineers have fine-tuned every aspect of the suspension and steering, imbuing it with shades of the ultra-hardcore 765LT. The results are nothing short of breathtaking. The performance is more eye-opening than ever, with an insatiable appetite for revs. While the rear tires can squirm over bumps, the steering retains a trademark McLaren calmness and precision, creating an amazing blend of savagery and surgical control. For British supercars, the 750S sets a formidable benchmark. As one of our deputy editors keenly noted, it’s “truly thrilling, brilliantly exploitable.”
Alternatives: A compelling alternative to a new 750S might be a used 720S, offering incredible value for nearly half the price. In the new market, its most obvious rival is the Ferrari 296 GTB, with Lamborghini’s new Temerario waiting to enter the fray.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Starting Price: Approximately $112,000 (US market)
With the C8 generation, Chevrolet fundamentally reshaped the Corvette by embracing a mid-engine layout, instantly creating a credible challenger to the supercar establishment. The track-focused Z06 variant is not just another hardcore Corvette; it’s the most visceral, engaging, and dynamically sophisticated model yet, a true American exotic car that redefines expectations. This isn’t just a Corvette Z06 review; it’s an appreciation of a truly exceptional machine.
Pros: A screaming, naturally aspirated V8 that retains its raw guts and character, paired with stunning chassis balance.
Cons: The steering, while accurate, can lack some of the ultimate feedback of European rivals. For a Corvette, it’s significantly pricier, especially for international markets.
Chevrolet’s engineering team drew clear inspiration from the world’s finest naturally aspirated engines for the Z06’s heart. Its 5.5-liter flat-plane crank V8, dubbed the “LT6,” marks a profound departure from traditional American big-block character. With an 8600rpm redline, it recalls the instantaneous response, glorious noise, and high-rev drama of a Ferrari 458’s engine. Sending 670 horsepower exclusively to the rear wheels, the Z06 features wider tracks, stiffer springs, and extensive aerodynamic modifications to manage its immense power and provide phenomenal grip. The result is a thrilling, massively potent dream car 2025 that feels unlike any Corvette before it. I’ve driven it on challenging European circuits, and its ability to scythe through corners, engine howling, is genuinely addictive. “The Z06 scything through long sweeps and hanging on through the tighter stuff like a conker on a string,” as one of our editors eloquently put it.
Alternatives: The Z06 is an anomaly in today’s market, championing high-literage, natural aspiration. Its spiritual benchmark is arguably the Ferrari 458. The Porsche 911 GT3 is the only other truly free-breathing alternative close to this segment. For sheer revs, engagement, and excitement, the McLaren Artura, with its V6 redlining at 8500rpm, comes surprisingly close.
Lamborghini Revuelto
Starting Price: Approximately $600,000
Few vehicles make a statement quite like a V12 Lamborghini. The Revuelto is the latest in this illustrious lineage, and while it looks even more dramatically audacious than the Aventador it replaces, Lamborghini has meticulously refined the formula. The result is a scintillating luxury supercar that feels like a monumental leap forward, blending traditional Italian flair with cutting-edge hypercar technology. This is the Lamborghini V12 hybrid we’ve been waiting for.
Pros: Unmistakable design, stratospheric performance, a glorious V12 engine, and unexpectedly superb balance and dynamics for a car of its size and power.
Cons: Can be excessively noisy at a steady cruise, reflecting its overt personality.
The Revuelto’s spec sheet is tantalizing. Nestled within its advanced carbon fiber monocoque is an all-new, naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, which, when combined with three electric motors, produces an astonishing 1,001 horsepower. This V12 is paired with a new, transversely mounted eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox – a world away from the Aventador’s jerky single-clutch unit in terms of smoothness and shift speed. Despite a dry weight of 3,907 lbs, the Revuelto possesses sparkling response and enormous track capability. Where a Ferrari SF90 feels hyper-alert, the Lamborghini offers a more measured and natural driving experience, leveraging electric motors at the front axle for precise torque vectoring that hooks it cleanly into and out of corners. The Revuelto masterfully combines quintessential Lamborghini drama with supreme dynamic class, making it a truly great modern supercar investment. As one of our deputy editors aptly stated, it “combines powerful torque-vectoring tech, makes this the most driveable flagship Lamborghini yet. Upliftingly, it doesn’t feel sanitised or watered down.”
Alternatives: The Revuelto exists in a highly exclusive sphere. Direct rivals include the now-discontinued Ferrari SF90 and the forthcoming Aston Martin Valhalla, though none can truly match the raw excitement of Lamborghini’s V12 powertrain. The Ferrari 12 Cilindri and Aston Martin Vanquish, while V12s, don’t possess the same raw supercar presence or dynamic sophistication. The Revuelto truly carves its own path.
Ferrari 12 Cilindri
Starting Price: Approximately $435,000
There will inevitably come a day when the naturally aspirated V12 Ferrari bids us farewell, but thankfully, that day isn’t today. The 12 Cilindri is a magnificent celebration of this most glorious of automotive concoctions: a front-engined, V12 Ferrari. Its 6.5-liter engine, devoid of turbos or hybrid assistance, unleashes a glorious 819 horsepower at a heady 9250rpm. While modern noise regulations have somewhat muted its full voice, it still sounds sensational, retaining the soul of a true Ferrari V12 grand tourer.
Pros: The naturally aspirated V12 remains a sublime experience, a true tonic for the senses. It excels as both a superb grand tourer and a surprisingly agile supercar.
Cons: Compared to its 812 predecessor, it has shed a fraction of its overt “superness” for a more refined demeanor.
The 12 Cilindri’s design pays homage to the past, with a Daytona-esque front end hinting at classic proportions. In person, it exudes every bit the supercar presence, yet also masterfully delivers on the GT brief. With a supple ride, a refined eight-speed transmission, and a beautifully appointed cockpit, it offers long-distance comfort without compromise. However, there’s far more to it than just GT credentials. The 12 Cilindri possesses an inherent poise and agility, thanks to quick-witted steering and astonishing dry-weather grip. In the wet, it remains remarkably controllable and far less intimidating than one might expect from an 819-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive machine. Available as both a coupe and a Spider, the 12 Cilindri is a remarkable achievement, showcasing Ferrari’s ability to evolve while staying true to its heritage. As our deputy editor reflected, it’s “an intriguing car with a unique personality, quite unlike any other current Ferrari.” For exclusive sports cars, this is a purebred icon.
Alternatives: The 12 Cilindri offers a different character than its 812 Superfast predecessor; those seeking the older car’s freneticism might look to the used market. In the new market, the Aston Martin Vanquish is its most direct foil. If the emphasis is purely on “super” for a V12, the Lamborghini Revuelto stands almost without peer.
McLaren Artura
Starting Price: Approximately $238,000
The McLaren Artura represents a pivotal moment for the Woking brand: its first series-production plug-in hybrid. Fundamentally, it retains McLaren Automotive’s core tenets: a lightweight carbon fiber chassis (the new MCLA monocoque), double wishbone suspension at all four corners, a mid-mounted twin-turbo engine, and a dual-clutch transmission. But the Artura brings a host of new tricks, giving it a much-needed distinct identity within McLaren’s evolving range. This is the new face of McLaren PHEV supercar engineering.
Pros: Exquisite steering feel, beautiful chassis balance, and sophisticated control make it incredibly rewarding to drive.
Cons: The powertrain, while effective, can sometimes lack the inherent drama and character of some rivals.
The centerpiece is its sophisticated hybrid powertrain, offering an all-electric driving mode for urban stealth, alongside a substantial performance boost. It’s paired with an all-new, Ricardo-built 3-liter V6 engine, which collectively produces 690 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. It catapults from 0-60 mph in just 3.0 seconds and achieves a top speed of 205 mph – significant numbers for a car that follows McLaren’s “Sports Series” models. What does all this change mean in the real world? It feels fresh. McLaren’s signature elements, like the hydraulically-assisted steering and impeccable driving position, are retained, but there’s a new layer of sophistication that refines the edges. While it might not have the raw sharpness of a 600LT or the outrageous performance of a Ferrari 296 GTB, as a launchpad for McLaren’s new generation, it is incredibly promising, a genuine advanced automotive technology marvel. “The Artura is so polished and precise, and the steering so feelsome, that it’s impossible not to be blown away by the McLaren way of doing things,” noted our editor-at-large.
Alternatives: The Artura is a versatile driver’s car and luxury supercar. The Maserati MC20 offers a compelling alternative with a touch more old-school charm. The new, pumped-up Aston Martin Vantage is impossibly talented dynamically, though it lacks the overt exotic flair of a traditional mid-engined supercar.
Aston Martin Vanquish
Starting Price: Approximately $425,000
In the words of our own seasoned expert John Barker, the Aston Martin Vanquish is “The best Aston of the last 25 years.” High praise indeed, given the illustrious machinery to emerge from Gaydon. Conventional wisdom suggests that adding turbos inevitably strangles an engine’s vocal cords, but clearly, no one informed Aston Martin. The Vanquish’s 824-horsepower 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 sounds sensational, delivering a guttural roar that transforms into a glorious howl as it rips from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and hits a top speed of 211 mph – remarkably similar statistics to a certain V12 Ferrari rival. This is the epitome of Aston Martin V12 performance.
Pros: Absolutely astonishing performance and dynamics for a front-engined car, crowned by a glorious, characterful V12. It perfectly fuses supercar aggression with grand tourer comfort.
Cons: The HMI (Human-Machine Interface) setup, while improved, isn’t quite perfect, and interior space can feel limited despite the car’s generous footprint.
Like the Ferrari 12 Cilindri, the Aston Martin Vanquish nails the grand tourer brief while delivering so much more. In GT mode, its double wishbone front end and multi-link rear effortlessly iron out road imperfections, providing a supple and refined ride. But select Sport or Sport+ modes, and the beast truly awakens. Throttle response sharpens dramatically, its pace becomes monumental, and the steering gains a beautiful weight, allowing for precise placement despite the Vanquish’s considerable weight and girth. Inside, it’s a symphony of luxury, with swathes of premium leather, supremely comfortable seats, and an outstanding sound system. These minor drawbacks are easily forgiven the moment that V12 begins its bombastic, guttural serenade. This is a definitive grand touring supercar. “It looks wonderful, sounds amazing and offers spectacular performance,” as John Barker concluded.
Alternatives: The Aston Martin Vanquish and Ferrari 12 Cilindri are perhaps the fiercest, most direct rivals in the premium automotive performance world today. Their competitive spirit even extends to their predecessors, making a DBS 770 Ultimate at half the price an incredibly tempting proposition.
