As the F1 circus heads to Miami for the very first time, we dig out our favourite Magic City supercar images

    As you may be aware, the Formula 1 circus has rolled into the Sunshine State this week for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, and if Twitter is to be believed the teams are rather enjoying the scenery. It just so happens that Miami is a rather good place to take photographs of supercars too, so here's a bunch of our favourite images from over the years...

    Just look at the glorious Eagle Speedster. How does it look so right on the wrong side of the North Atlantic?

    The perfect location for our first go in the Lamborghini Huracán Spyder back in 2016.

    Just look at that skyline. Let's hope Messrs Leclerc and Verstappen don't get too distracted on Sunday.

    Fairly good-looking multi-storey car parks in Miami. They've got nothing on Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Short Stay, mind.

    Lamborghini droptops and Miami Beach. Name a better duo...

    Back in 2006 we drove the one-off Ford GTX1 prototype on Ocean Drive...

    ... and despite it being the dead of night. The GTX1 caused so much commotion that even Pharrell Williams asked us for an autograph. That's a story for another day, though.

    Speaking of Ocean Drive, that's also where we drove this - the Mercedes-Benz, um... Ocean Drive. Was a bit of an open goal that one, wasn't it?

    Remember when diesel took over at Le Mans in the late Noughties? Well, Audi almost piggybacked on its success with this - the R8 V12 TDI Le Mans.

    The engine was transplanted straight from the V12 TDI Volkswagen Touareg, and when we drove it in Magic City in 2008 Audi reckoned it would become 'the greatest road car of all'.

    And if a diesel-powered R8 was considered the pinnacle of motoring back then, there are arguments that would suggest the 1,900bhp all-electric Pininfarina Battista is exactly that in 2022.

    This bare carbon example looked right at home in Miami...

    ... although it didn't slip through the city streets quite as quietly as we would have hoped.

    And yeah, this isn't technically in Miami. We shot the reborn Lamborghini Countach in a European studio last year, but the end product gives us massive Grand Theft Auto: Vice City vibes.
