Top Gear's top seven supercars

Price: £259,500
Specs: 666bhp, 516lb ft, 0-62mph 2.9s, VMax 205mph, 24.1mpg, 275g/km CO2

A 650S made, in every conceivable way, a little bit better. And longer. The result is maybe the best McLaren since the iconic F1. Pity they're um, all sold out.

Specs: 661bhp, 560lb ft, 0-62mph 3.0s, VMax 205mph, 24.8mpg, 260g/km CO2

Controversial, this. We doubted the 488 GTB could match the 458 Speciale for sheer, erm, specialness. It can't quite, but that wouldn't stop us from buying one.

Specs: 570bhp, 443lb ft, 0-62mph 3.2s, VMax 204mph, 26.4mpg, 249g/km CO2

Since when did 'entry level' translate to 570bhp and a 200mph plus Vmax? Mighty 675LT excepted, this is the McLaren to buy. A bargain at £143k.

You used to be able to get an R8 with a V8. And a manual gearbox. Now you can't, because the new one is V10 and auto only. We'd care more if it wasn't so mega.

Price: £248,184
Specs: 662bhp, 604lb ft, 0-62mph 3.0s, VMax 225mph, n/a mpg, n/a CO2

Built in a shed in Leicester with an old Volvo engine. Doesn't sound too promising, but the Noble is as scarily scintillating as nude mako-wrestling, yet friendly, too.

Specs: 572bhp, 553lb ft, 0-62mph 2.9s, VMax 205mph, 31mpg, 212g/km CO2

The normal 911 may not be a 'supercar' in a conventional sense, but the Turbo S surely is. It's the right money, plus it's one of the quickest accelerating things on sale.

Not as sharp as a McLaren or as punchy as a Ferrari, but perhaps better than either at making passers-by stop and take notice. Worthy successor to the Gallardo.
