In The Young and the Restless, loyalty has always been a double-edged sword — and in Genoa City, no one wields it more dangerously than Michael Baldwin. For years, he’s been a man torn between two worlds: the steady devotion of his wife, Lauren Fenmore, and the intoxicating power of Victor Newman. But this time, the stakes are far higher than either of them ever imagined. What begins as another covert mission in Victor’s service spirals into an act of betrayal so shocking it threatens to destroy not just Michael’s marriage — but Victor’s entire empire.
A Dangerous Alliance Reignited
Michael has always been a man of principle, a legal genius who has walked the fine line between justice and corruption more times than he’d like to admit. Yet, when Victor Newman calls, Michael answers. It’s a pattern Lauren has seen too many times — Victor commands, and Michael obeys. No matter the cost.
After months of uneasy peace, Victor draws Michael back into his orbit with a mission cloaked in noble intentions: expose corruption tied to Cane Ashby’s sudden return to Genoa City. On paper, it’s about justice. In truth, it’s about control. Victor sees Cane as a threat to his growing network of influence — a rival who knows too much. And Michael, desperate to prove his worth, takes the bait.
For Lauren, this is déjà vu. She’s seen what Victor’s “favors” do to her husband — how they chip away at his integrity, his sanity, and the love that once anchored them both. Her pleas for him to stay away fall on deaf ears. Michael convinces himself that this mission is different, that he can help Victor and still keep his soul intact.
But Genoa City has a way of turning good intentions into tragedies.
Cane Ashby’s Revenge
Once a man searching for redemption, Cane Ashby has returned colder, darker, and more dangerous than ever. He knows Victor’s hand is behind every power move in town — and when he learns that Michael Baldwin is digging into his affairs, he doesn’t strike with anger, but precision.
Cane lures Michael into a trap, feeding him false information that leads him to betray Victor without realizing it. By the time Michael uncovers the truth, it’s too late. Confidential Newman files are leaked, Victor’s plans are exposed, and the mighty patriarch feels the sting of betrayal from one of his most trusted allies.
For Victor Newman, betrayal is a death sentence — and this time, he intends to make Michael pay for it.
A Marriage on the Brink
Lauren sees it happening in slow motion. The man she loves is unraveling before her eyes, torn between guilt and obsession. His once-clear moral compass now spins wildly between loyalty and self-preservation. Every night he spends chasing Victor’s approval drives him further away from her.
She no longer fights. The exhaustion has set in — the kind that comes from loving a man who’s lost to his own demons. Friends whisper that she’s fading, her spark dimmed by years of standing in the shadow of Victor’s empire. And perhaps, for the first time, Lauren begins to believe them.
When Michael confesses that he’s crossed a line even he cannot undo — that his actions have indirectly led to Victor’s downfall — something inside her shatters. He tells her it wasn’t supposed to end this way, that he only wanted to protect Genoa City. But Lauren sees through the lie. This wasn’t about justice. It was about Michael’s need to matter.
The Breaking Point — Victor’s Fall
In a chilling confrontation, Victor summons Michael to the Newman Ranch. The tension is electric — two men bound by loyalty, pride, and years of manipulation. But this time, Victor isn’t here to forgive. He’s here to remind Michael that betrayal in his world is fatal.
The exchange turns deadly. Words become threats, and threats become action. A struggle ensues — and in a moment of panic, Michael strikes back, fatally injuring Victor. The man who once controlled Genoa City falls silent, leaving Michael standing over the consequences of his own blind devotion.
In the dim light of that room, Michael realizes the horrifying irony: the man he spent years trying to please has destroyed him from beyond the grave.
The Aftermath: Guilt, Grief, and Consequences
The news of Victor’s death sends shockwaves through Genoa City. The Newman family is shattered, vengeance in their eyes. Nikki is inconsolable. Nick and Victoria vow justice. And as suspicions swirl, Michael’s calm façade begins to crack.
Lauren, caught between love and horror, can barely look at him. She sees not her husband, but a man haunted by what he’s done. Every whispered conversation, every late-night call — it all led to this. The final, irreversible act that has turned their marriage into collateral damage.
In private, Michael confesses to Lauren the truth she already knows: that his loyalty to Victor became an addiction, one that cost him everything. He insists it was self-defense, but she knows better. It was obsession.
And obsession, in Genoa City, is always fatal.
The Ripple Effect Across Genoa City
With Victor gone, chaos consumes the city. The Newman empire fractures, enemies close in, and longtime alliances crumble. Cane, once the target, now holds the upper hand, manipulating the narrative to paint himself as a victim of Victor’s corruption.
Meanwhile, Michael becomes a pariah — neither hero nor villain, just a man consumed by the choices that destroyed everything he loved. Lauren contemplates leaving for good, her heart too heavy to keep fighting a war that was never hers.
Even those who once admired Michael now whisper about him in hushed tones. His brilliance as an attorney is forgotten, replaced by the scandal that will forever stain his name.
A Love Story in Ruins
In the quiet aftermath, Lauren stands in the home they once shared, surrounded by memories that feel like ghosts. She remembers the man who once made her laugh, who once held her through storms. But that man is gone — buried beneath layers of guilt, ambition, and broken promises.
Michael, meanwhile, wanders through his days in silent torment. He visits Victor’s grave, seeking forgiveness he’ll never receive. The weight of his actions crushes him, but part of him still believes he did the right thing — that in destroying Victor, he freed himself.
But the truth is far darker.
He didn’t kill Victor to protect Genoa City.
He did it to escape him.
The Final Reckoning
As the investigation closes in, Michael faces his most difficult choice yet: confess the truth and lose everything, or live with the lie that keeps him free but forever damned.
Lauren’s final words to him are simple, devastating, and true:
“You’ve spent your life defending others, Michael. But now, no one can defend you from yourself.”
In Genoa City, loyalty has never been about justice — it’s about survival.
And for Michael Baldwin, the ultimate betrayal wasn’t killing Victor Newman.
It was sacrificing himself in the name of a loyalty that was never real.
The 25 Most Expensive Supercars in the World
From the McLaren Elva to the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Roadster.

Automotive decadence doesn’t come cheap.
Whether your taste runs toward ultra-cushy SUVs or open-top sports cars: If you want to buy the best, you’re going to have to pay up. And there is no class of vehicle that is more true of than the supercar.
Remember the sports car that was on the poster of your childhood bedroom? Today’s supercar is that vehicle on steroids. The vehicles released by marques like Pagani, Bugatti, and McLaren—just to name a few of the automakers playing around in this segment—seek to push every single aspect of automotive design to its breaking point. They feature bold designs (the Aspark Owl), the most advanced tech (Bugatti Tourbillon), and are capable of performance deemed impossible as recently as a decade ago (Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut). You’ll also be hard-pressed to find one that costs less than seven figures.
With all that in mind, here are the 25 most expensive supercars you can buy today:
25
McLaren Elva — $1.7 Million
Photo : McLaren
The McLaren lineup may feel overly indebted to the F1 at times, but the marque isn’t afraid to try new things. Just look at the marque’s fifth Ultimate Series model, the Elva, which was inspired by the open-top race cars developed by Bruce McLaren in the 1960s. In addition to its unique look, the limited-run model shares a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8—as well as a seven-speed seamless-shift gearbox— with the Senna that produces a hair-raising 804 horses. Thanks to all the power, the brand’s speedster can spring from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and reach 203 mph.
Debut: 2020
Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8
Power: 804 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds
Top Speed: 203 mph
24
McLaren Senna GTR — $1.8 Million
Photo : McLaren
If you’re going to name a car after Aryton Senna, it’s only natural that you release a track-only variant. The Senna GTR is more aggressive than its road-going counterpart in every way. It sports an aggressive aero package with a large rear wing, allowing it to cut through the air with even more ease than the road-going supercar. The vehicle’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 has been tuned so that it’s more powerful, too. The mill is mated to a dual-clutch racing gearbox that allows for faster shifting and produces 814 horses. It also features a new suspension setup and rides on special Pirelli racing slicks.
Debut: 2018
Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8
Power: 801 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds
Top Speed: 210 mph
23
SSC Tuatara — $2 Million
Photo : SSC
When you pay seven figures for a car, you expect it to be capable of breathtaking feats. The SSC Tuatara more than delivers on this front. The vehicle has yet to officially top 300 mph in independent testing, but it’s come awfully close. The 1,350 hp rocket on wheels was able to reach a top speed of 295 mph during a run at Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility in the spring of 2022. Don’t be surprised if the car—which packs a twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter flat-plane crank V-8—eventually makes it to the promised land, though.
Debut: 2020
Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter V-8
Power: 1,750 horsepower and 1,341 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds
Top Speed: 295 mph
22
McLaren W1—$2.1 Million
Photo : McLaren
If you’re familiar with McLaren, you know how important the marque’s 1 cars are. The first, the F1, helped define the modern supercar, while the P1, somehow managed to be an able follow-up. The W1, which was unveiled in 2024, has a lot of expectations to live up to, but the early signs suggest it’s more than up to the task. It has a sharp and aggressively styled exterior that gives it the look of a Decepticon, but the real headline feature is its hybrid powertrain. The setup combines a twin-turbocharged V-8 with an electric motor. Together, the duo pumps out 1,275 hp, allowing the car to hit 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and top out at 213 mph.
Debut: 2024
Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and an electric motor
Power: 1,275 hp hp and 988 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.7 seconds
Top Speed: 213 mph
21
Gordon Murray Automotive T.33 Spider — $2.4 million
Photo : Gordon Murray Automotive
Gordon Murray designed the McLaren F1, so he knows a thing or three about supercars. Just look at his eponymous marque’s second model, the T.33, which has all the makings of a car we’ll still be talking about years from now. The slinky coupé has a more restrained design than either the F1 or GMA’s debut, the T.50, but it’s still a sight to behold. It also may not be as potent as its stablemate, but its Cosworth-built V-12 still generates a spritely 607 horses and 332 ft lbs of torque. You can also get it with a manual gearbox, which will almost certainly make it the kind of car that purists lust over. And unlike the F1, it is available as a spider.
Debut: 2023
Powertrain: 3.9-liter V-12
Power: 607 hp and 332 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 62 mph: n/a
Top Speed: 200+ mph
20
Lotus Evija — $2.4 Million
Photo : Lotus
The Evija is at the heart of Lotus’s attempt to revitalize its flagging fortunes. The all-electric supercar’s carbon-fiber body is marked by an aggressive front fascia, giant air channels, and an LED-lit rear end that looks like it belongs on a rocket ship. The biggest talking point, though, is almost certainly a quad-motor powertrain that generates a staggering 2,011 hp, which should allow it to hit a top speed of 217 mph. The only hiccup? More than six years after making its debut, a vehicle has only just started to roll off the line.
Debut: 2019
Powertrain: Quad electric motors
Power: 2,011 hp and 1,257 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 3.0 seconds
Top Speed: 217 mph
19
Pininfarina Battista — $2.5 Million
Photo : Pininfarina
Do you sometimes find yourself wishing the Rimac Nevera looked just a little less muscular? May we point you in the direction of the Pininfarina Battista? The Italian marque’s electric supercar shares an electric architecture with the Nevera, but it has a sleek style all its own. That doesn’t mean it’s a slouch, though. Its four-motor powertrain still pumps out 1,900 hp, meaning it’s capable of jaw-dropping performance feats. In fact, it’s swapped records with its cousin before, something we expect to continue to happen for years to come.
Debut: 2020
Powertrain: Quad electric motors
Power: 1,900 hp and 1,726 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 1.79 seconds
Top Speed: 222 mph
18
Mercedes-AMG One — $2.7 Million
Photo : Mercedes-AMG
Sure, Mercedes-AMG knows how to make a good sports car, but what about a supercar? The One suggests they’ve got that covered, too. The German performance sub-brand has relied on knowledge shared by its Formula 1 team to create one of the most impressive plug-in hybrids in the world. The vehicle may be street-legal, but it looks like a race car thanks to an aggressive aero package that includes a giant rear wing. Its biggest selling point is a hybrid-assisted 1.6-liter V-6 that generates more than 1,000 horses, allowing the car to shoot from zero to 124 mph in less than six seconds and hit a top speed of 217 mph. Unsurprisingly, the One already has a couple of records to its name.
Debut: 2022
Powertrain: 1.6-liter V-6 and four electric motors
Power: 1,049 hp and 737 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.9 seconds
Top Speed: 219 mph
17
Rimac Nevera R — $2.7 Million
Photo : Rimac
There aren’t many cars more deserving of the “high-performance” descriptor than the Rimac Nevera. The Croatian marque still saw room for improvement, though. Enter the Nevera R, a new-ish variant that wears a more aggressive aero kit that includes a fixed rear wing and a redesigned quad-motor powertrain. The new setup gets its juice from a “performance-oriented battery system” and produces a ridiculous 2,107 horses, or nearly 200 more hp than before (the company won’t say how much torque the setup produces). Thanks to the added oomph, Rimac’s latest EV can rocket from zero to 60 in 1.74 seconds, making it the first production car that accelerates faster than it brakes. Not bad.
Debut: 2024
Powertrain: Quad electric motors
Power: 2,107 hp
Zero to 60 mph: 1.74 seconds
Top Speed: 256 mph

Hennessey Venom F5-M Roadster — $3 Million
Photo : Hennessey
Hennessey Performance wasn’t content just tuning other brands’ vehicles. In 2017, the Texas-based shop announced plans to design, develop, and build a high-performance sports car of its very own. The resulting Venom F5—named after the most powerful grade of tornado—is exactly the kind of beast you’d expect from the storied tuner. It has a slick design that doesn’t feel overly indebted to Italian supercars and is powered by the twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter Fury V-8. The mill, which is connected to an automated manual gearbox, kicks out 1,817 horses and 1,193 ft lbs of twist. It’s because of this that Hennessy thinks its first original vehicle, which is available as a coupe or roadster, can become the world’s fastest production car.
Debut: 2020
Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-8
Power: 1,817 hp and 1,193 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds
Top Speed: 311 mph
15
Aston Martin Valkyrie — $3.2 Million
Photo : Aston Martin
Aston Martin may be best known for its grand tourers—one of which remains the vehicle of choice for cinema’s most iconic spy—but the $1 million Valhalla and significantly more expensive Valkyrie show that it can build a pretty good supercar as well. The latter, which was designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, feels like a glimpse of the British automaker’s future, clad in a sharp-lined body that looks closer to that of an endurance racer than any of its DB cars. The powertrain is just as much of a departure, pairing a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 and a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. We know there are purists out there who will never warm to the idea of an electrified Aston Martin, but an output in excess of 1,150 hp should help assuage at least some of their concerns.
Debut: 2019
Powertrain: 6.5-liter V-12 and a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor
Power: 1,160hp and 664 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 62 mph: 2.3 seconds
Top Speed: 250 mph
14
Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut — $3.4 Million
Photo : Koenigsegg
Koenigsegg was always going to have trouble following up the Agera, but the Jesko has done an able job living up to the reputation of its predecessor. The aggressive supercar, which features a removable roof, is powered by a rear-mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V-8 that produces 1,280 hp and 738 ft lbs of torque. Fill the tank with E85 instead of regular pump gas, and those numbers balloon to 1,600 horsepower and 1,106 ft lbs of twist, thanks to which, Koenigsegg claims, it’ll be able to reach a top speed of 330 mph—eventually. Of course, performance isn’t all the vehicle has to offer. It also has a beautiful shape that allows it to slice through the air and a tall rear spoiler that increases downforce.
Debut: 2021
Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.8-liter V-8
Power: 1,600 hp and 1,106 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds
Top Speed: 330 mph (claimed)
13
Pagani Utopia — $3.4 Million
Photo : Pagani
Other supercar makers may be looking into harnessing the power of electrification, but not Pagani. In fact, the company’s third distinct supercar, the Utopia, is a bit of a throwback. It features the marque’s most streamlined design yet, lacking some of the extraneous bells and whistles of its predecessors (the interior is still over-the-top, though). The Utopia was also designed to deliver the company’s most driver-centric ride yet. It’s powered by an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter V-12 that delivers 852 horses and 811 ft lbs of torque. Likely to be as much of a draw for the purists out there is that the vehicle comes with an automated manual or manual gearbox.
Debut: 2022
Powertrain: 6.0-liter V-12
Power: 852 horses and 811 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds
Top Speed: 220 mph
12
Pagani Huayra Roadster BC — $3.5 Million
Photo : Pagani
Only Pagani could look at the Huayra Roadster and see a car that needed to be reimagined. The Huayra Roadster BC is the track-only version of the company’s second model, and as such, it’s one of the most ridiculous entries on this list. The vehicle has a more aerodynamic body—the modifications produce over 1,100 pounds of downforce—as well as a monocoque made from a carbon-titanium material that’s lighter than that featured in the standard version of the open-top speed machine. The Roadster BC also features a modified version of the Huayra’s AMG-sourced V-12 that produces 791 hp and 745 ft lbs of torque.
Debut: 2019
Powertrain: 6.0-liter V-12
Power: 800 hp and 774 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 3.3 seconds
Top Speed: 238 mph
11
Koenigsegg CC850 — $3.7 Million
Photo : Koenigsegg
Even supercar makers aren’t afraid to look backward from time to time. In 2022, Koenigsegg unveiled a new model called the CC850 that was based on its very first vehicle, the CC8S. The two cars share a similar design and shape, but the new version has a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 derived from that in the Jesko. The new mill is potent to say the least, producing 1,385 horses when the car is running on E85 fuel. Thanks to that, it can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 280 mph. The car has proven to be so popular that the company decided to build 20 more after the initial run immediately sold out.
Debut: 2022
Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.1-liter V-8
Power: 1,385 hp and 1,022 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds
Top Speed: 310 mph (claimed)
10
Ferrari F80 — $3.9 Million
Photo : Ferrari
No one makes a halo car quite like Ferrari. This decade’s entry in the class—the fifth after the original 288 GTO—is the F80. The car features a gorgeous, flowing design, but as with other supercars in the seven-figure segment, a head-turning exterior is far from its most breathtaking feature. That would be its hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 4.0-liter V-6 with not one, not two, but three electric motors. The complex setup pumps out a combined 1,184 hp. That figure makes the F80 the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever. Because of that, it’s little surprise the car can rocket from zero to 62 mph in just 2.15 seconds and reach a top speed of 217 mph.
Debut: 2024
Powertrain: 4.0-liter V-6 and three electric motors
Power: 1,184 hp and 793 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 62 mph: 2.15 seconds
Top Speed: 217 mph

Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s
Photo : Gordon Murray Automotive
The Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 is one of the more hardcore supercars available thanks to its lightweight construction and downforce-producing integrated rear fan. The track-only T.50s—which the company stresses is its own distinct model—is even more extreme in basically every way. It has a host of aerodynamic upgrades, including a giant rear wing, weighs 300 pounds less than its street-legal counterpart, and wrings even more power out of its Cosworth-designed 3.9-liter V-12. Specifically, the naturally aspirated mill generates 725 hp and 358 ft lbs, or 71 horses and 14 ft lbs of twist more than the standard T.50. This is track performance in its purest form.
Debut: 2021
Powertrain: 3.9-liter V-12
Power: 725 hp and 358 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds
Top Speed: 226 mph

Aspark Owl — $4 Million
Photo : Aspark
The Aspark Owl just might be the most unique-looking entry on this list. That’s because it’s lower to the ground and more stretched out than practically any other boundary-pushing vehicle currently on the market. You’re either going to love or hate the vehicle’s exaggerated design, and consider us firmly in the former camp. The Owl’s design isn’t its only standout feature. It’s also monstrously powerful thanks to a quad-motor electric powertrain that delivers 1,985 hp and 1,475 ft lbs of torque. There’s only one problem with the Owl as far as we can see—and it’s kind of a big one—nearly six years after making its debut in prototype form, it’s barely begun to roll off the line.
Debut: 2020
Powertrain: Quad electric motors
Power: 1,985 hp and 1,475 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 1.69 seconds
Top Speed: 249 mph

McLaren Solus GT — $4 Million
Photo : McLaren
The Solus GT is a video game car come to life. Literally. The track-only supercar actually made its debut way back in 2017 in Gran Turismo Sport for the PlayStation 4. Five years later, McLaren announced plans to produce a limited run of the vehicle. Like its virtual counterpart, the real version looks just like a Star Wars starfighter. It’s also powered by a completely unique naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 that the marque says will produce 829 horses and 479 ft lbs of twist while revving at up to 10,000 rpm. The car will be hard to get, though, with only 25 slated to be built.
Debut: 2023
Powertrain: 5.2-liter V-10
Power: 829 hp and 479 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds
Top Speed: 200+ mph
6
Bugatti Bolide — $4.3 Million
Photo : Bugatti
The Bolide, which made its public debut at Le Mans earlier in 2023, is without a doubt the most hardcore Bugatti supercar yet. The model was designed to be the kind of vehicle you can set a new personal record in each time you take it out on the track. A lot of this is due to a thunderously loud W16 that pumps out 1,578 hp and 1,180. It’s also light, tipping the scales at just 3,197 lbs, meaning it has a shocking weight-to-power ratio of close to 2 lb/hp. Add in a brash and angular design—especially by Bugatti’s usual standards—and you have the kind of car that’s sure to sell out despite not being street-legal.
Debut: 2023
Powertrain: Quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16
Power: 1,578 hp and 1,180 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.17 seconds
Top Speed: 311 mph (claimed)
5
Bugatti Tourbillon — $4.5 Million
Photo : Bugatti
New Bugattis don’t come along every year. The Tourbillon, which was unveiled in June, is just the third distinct model the French marque has made since it was acquired by Volkswagen late last century, and first since Rimac founder Mate Rimac took over. The new model looks to be an able successor to the Veyron and Chiron pairing an expectedly over-the-top design with a ferocious powertrain. The latter of those features is what most differentiates this vehicle from its predecessors. While every other modern-day Bugatti has had a quad-turbo W-16 sitting in the engine bay, the Tourbillon gets its power from a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V-16 and a trio of electric motors. The hybrid setup produces an astonishing 1,800 hp. Thanks to all that power, the car can launch from zero to 60 mph in two seconds flat and has a targeted top speed of 276 mph, though its speedometer goes to 550 kph (or 341 mph).
Debut: 2024
Powertrain: 8.3-liter V-16 and three electric motors
Power: 1,800 hp and 1,464 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.0 seconds
Top Speed: 276 mph (target)

Bugatti Mistral — $5 Million
Photo : Bugatti
Bugatti doesn’t just build supercars; it builds luxury supercars. Of those currently still rolling off the line, the Mistral is the most glamorous of the bunch. It’s a stunning roadster based on the Chiron that breathes new life into the French marque’s discontinued second model with its more muscular stance. It’s also the brand’s final car that will feature its trademark W16. And thanks to that 1,577-hp mill, there’s a good possibility the Mistral could become the world’s fastest open-top production car before all is said and done.
Debut: 2024
Powertrain: 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W-16
Power: 1,578 hp and 1,180 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: 2.4 seconds
Top Speed: 261 mph

Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear — $5 million
Photo : Koenigsegg
Only Christian Koenigsegg could look at the Jesko and see a car in need of more power. Sadair’s Spear, which debuted in the summer of 2025, is the eponymous marque’s second attempt to take the already outrageous supercar to another level. Named for the last horse his father rode during his career as a gentleman jockey, the vehicle features a refined body kit that produces even more downforce and an upgraded powertrain. A new engine calibration, revised air intakes, and an improved cooling system combine to bump output by 25 hp to a staggering 1,602 hp when running on E85 fuel. We’re still waiting on performance figures, but Koenigsegg expects its most extreme street-legal build yet to be even quicker than its predecessors.
Debut: 2025
Powertrain: 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8
Power: 1,602 hp and 1,106 ft lbs of torque
Zero to 60 mph: Less than 2.5 seconds
Top Speed: N/A

Red Bull RB17 — $6.7 million
Photo : Red Bull
Look, it’s unlikely that anyone reading this will ever get the chance to drive one of Red Bull’s championship-winning race cars, but the $6 million RB17 might be the next best thing. The team’s first customer vehicle is a bold supercar powered by a hybrid-assisted 4.5-liter V-10 that redlines at 15,000 rpm. The electrified powertrain makes 1,200 hp, allowing the car to slingshot from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds. Just as likely to turn heads is the vehicle’s flowing, techno-organic exterior, which will help it stand out even amongst its more aggressively styled peers.
Debut: 2022
Powertrain: 4.5-liter V-10 and an electric motor
Power: 1,200 hp
Zero to 60 mph: Under 3.0 seconds
Top Speed: 217 mph

It’s amazing how much a couple of key adjustments can change something. Just look at the Huayra Codalunga Speedster. The Italian marque’s latest creation looks almost identical to the long-tailed coupe it shares a name with, bar one major exception: it has no roof. That change gives the speed machine an even more graceful air than it had before, especially when finished in metallic mint green like the initial show car. The changes between the two Codalungas aren’t limited to the superficial, though. The open-top supercar’s naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V-12 has also been given a tune that boosts output to 852 hp and 811 ft lbs of torque. Pagani plans to build twice as many speedsters as coupes, though that only increases the production run to a meager 10 units.
