Lamborghini Aventador S -- 730bhp, 217mph
Speaking of V12s, Lamborghini's flagship needed a proper workover in 2017 in order to keep pace with this aptly-named 812 Superfast. The Aventador S's big innovation is rear-wheel steering, which gives the new big bull something approaching agility, however the extra 40bhp wrung in the 6.5-litre V12 is a bonus worth having.
Ferrari 812 Superfast -- 789bhp, 211mph
We are living in a mad, crazy world. One of many pieces of evidence that this is true is the fact that Ferrari's series-production big-booted GT car is powered by a 789bhp V12 that'll ship it beyond 62mph in 2.9 seconds and to a top rate of 211mph. If that is one of the last of those traditional V12 supercars, until hybrids and turbos finally kill off them, then what a way to go.
Bentley Continental Supersports -- 700bhp, 209mph
Bet you'd forgotten about this one. Yes, before Bentley wowed us with all the sleeker, more raffish brand new Continental GT, it generated a Supersports version of the outgoing vehicle. And the headline was rather simply this: seven hundred horsepower. And yes, that's appropriate Victorian British imperial reel. It's perhaps not the most soulful automobile on this listing by a perimeter, but that is the reigning rate champ one of Bentleys, and incongruously magnificent consequently.
Dodge Demon -- 840bhp, 168mph
The very first road-certified mill car to be officially capable of wheelies (or even wheelstands, we suppose) is your Dodge Hellcat's even more evil, quarter-mile-munching twin. It's a drag-race monster with an 840bhp supercharged V8 heart, and though that sub-170mph top speed is the lowest in this list, the Demon's ability to launch from 0-60mph at a verifiable 2.3 seconds is as impressive as it is barmy. A worthy addition to the annals of muscle car legend.
