Ferrari 812 Superfast -- 789bhp, 211mph
We are living in a mad, crazy world. Among 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 which 'll send it past 62mph in 2.9 seconds and on to a top rate of 211mph. If that is one of the last of the traditional V12 supercars, before hybrids and turbos finally kill off them, then what a thing to do.
Hennessey Venom F5 -- 1600bhp (claimed), 290mph (claimed)
Hennessey's back again, and he's heading for 300mph. The Venom F5, successor to the car that struck 270mph and established Hennessey as a player in the top speed supercar game, is named after F5 category storms, which have a windspeed score of up to 318mph. Can the Texan underdog really take it into the might of the VW Group, and Koenigsegg? 2017's show of the new Venom was the opening shot of round two. Place your bets...
Jeep Trackhawk -- 707bhp, 180mph
Remember the Dodge Demon out of a few slides past? The madder, badder Hellcat? Course you do. Now imagine the quantity of dreadful light beer consumed by the person who came up with the notion of slotting the 707bhp version of said supercharged V8 into the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This, not the Lamborghini Urus, is the most powerful SUV of 2017. 'Murica one, Italy, nil
Lamborghini Urus -- 641bhp, 190mph
2017: the year that Lamborghini got back to SUVs. But so as to reveal the pace of advancement, the new Urus has four fewer electrons compared to the older LM002, nevertheless it grows almost twice the power, as a result of some 641bhp version of the VW Group's bi-turbo 4.0-litre V8. Since we'll see later on in this listing, the Urus is hence the fastest of the super-SUVs, but not the most effective, by a long way...
Mercedes-AMG Project One -- 1,000bhp , 217mph
No-one out of AMG has yet driven the Mercedes F1 car for the road known so far just as Project One, but its own stats are suitably barmy to make the cut in this list. Revealed in time to get the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, the supreme AMG guarantees to launch from 0-124mph in under six seconds, meaning that thanks to its AWD hybrid grip, it'll get off the line as quick as a real F1 car. While, hopefully, making a much meaner noise...
Tesla Roadster -- n/a bhp, 250mph (claimed)
Making no sound at all, on the other hand, is Tesla's first entrance into the supercar bear-pit. This 's okay though -- Twitter and internet forums make more than enough noise to compensate for the silence of electric motors. If the new Roadster actually does see the light of day, we're guaranteed a 620-mile selection, performance to embarrass a Bugatti, and all for a relatively reasonable $200,000. It might be a utopian supercar. Now all Tesla has to do is bring it to market in time.
