Top Sports Cars
Only For The Few
Very few people can actually afford to get behind the true top sports cars available in today’s market. They retain their exclusivity by keeping their quality and technology at the very highest levels; in addition, production volumes are minute by modern manufacturers’ levels. Some don’t even scrape through into double figure sales each year. Of course, there is the ultimate way to keep your top sports cars totally exclusive, a price that automatically cuts out ninety five percent of the population.
KTM X-Bow Superstar
KTM may be a newcomer in the world of top sports cars, but it is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Europe. Made from carbon fiber body and giving off an extremely throaty sound from a four-cylinder engine, taken directly from Audi. It is a purely functionality based sports car with no frills, only raw power and sleek design, pushing it to 60mph in less than four seconds.
Taking It To The Max, Morgan Aeromax
The Morgan Aeromax appeared last year as a concept study by young design students; for a coupe version of the Aero 8, it has now come to life. Its old fashioned design hides formidable power from its 4.4-liter BMW V8 putting out 330bhp. This model will be hand built at a rate of maybe two or three a year, making it a real top sports car exclusive.
The Flying Burrito
Easily mis-pronounced as a burrito, that is the only drawback to this flying machine, the Brabus Rocket V12 S Biturbo. This top sports cars dream model was developed from the Mercedes-Benz CLS500 with a 4.9-liter twin-turbo V12 with a gigantic 730bhp. It accelerates so fast that they ignored 60mph and instead published just over ten seconds to reach 125mph.
Bentley Brooklands
The Bentley Brooklands joins power, speed, and class, into one item. This is the very top end of top sports cars. Its power comes from a, 6.75-liter, twin-turbo charger engine that thrusts this sports car forward at remarkable speed despite it being the size of a small apartment.
Sweden, Abba And The Koenigsegg CCX
Two years ago, the Swedish super sports car flew around the Nardo high-speed oval track at over 235mph. Its gull wing doors give it that space age edge that makes it a rare and highly desirable member of the top sports cars club. It is like a racing car for the streets; it consists of a carbon fiber body, and is supported by an impressive twin-supercharged 4.7-liter V8 engine, allowing it to reach 60mph in a cheek shattering 3.2 seconds.
Bond, James “Aston Martin” Bond
Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24, the name alone puts it in the top sports cars league. Aston Martin is spelled James Bond, and it is certainly licensed to thrill. Ever since Sean Connery jumped behind the wheel of an Aston in the first Bond movie, there has been nothing quite like it when it comes to sports car mystique. This new model has a V8 that delivers 440bhp via a six- speed box to give startling performance that is enough for any spy in a hurry.
The Spyker C12 Zagato
The name Spyker is almost as old as the automobile industry itself with a series of successful and very fast sports cars presented in the long haul racing circuits that make this one of a few genuine top sports cars available to the public. The Spyker C12 Zagato is their latest creation, which is equipped with a 500-hp version of the powerful 6-liter W14 engine, of the VW / Audi Group. This means it is fast, achieving 60mph in a very rapid 3.8 seconds.
Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
The 8C Competizione is the Alfa flagship, the tradition of the great Italian designers. The design includes modern elements clearly reminiscent of the large Motorsport Alfa classics of the past. The performance is also there with 450bhp and a torque of 470Nm from the 4.7-liter V8 aluminium engine with four camshafts. It accelerates in less than 4.5 seconds from zero to 60mph, for real top sports cars thrills.
Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
Superleggera is Italian and means superlight - a term that in the past was used for some classic sports cars in relation to the extremely lightweight body. This makes it possible for the car to reach 60mph in just 3.8 seconds, with the V10 engine putting out 530bhp, but in a car that weighs less than a small family hatchback.
Lotus Flower Power
The classic Lotus Eleven was one of the most successful sports racing cars of its time. The new 2-Eleven is an uncompromising open two, without frills, in the classic sports car tradition. Its small 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine puts out a massive252bhp. This gives it the power to weight ratio of a Formula 1 racing car. Classic styling and understated size combine to give electrifying speed for the last of this list of top sports cars.
