Top 15 Best Exotic Cars & Supercars Of All Time
Lamborghini Countach
Curated
One of the most iconic cars from an exotic car company that everyone knows. This car was by far on more bedroom walls in the 80s than it was in garages because it was just as much a pop culture icon as it was an incredible car. It had an incredible 26-year lifespan, which was thanks to the fact that the Countach was a car that kept up with everything around it. By the time it was discontinued, it still clocked in incredible numbers among its much younger peers with a 185 mph top speed and 4.7 seconds from a standstill to 60 mph.

Ferrari F40
RM Sotheby’s
Being the last car that the legendary Enzo Ferrari would ever oversee the development of, the Ferrari F40 couldn’t disappoint. And with 4.2 seconds to 60 miles per hour, a 197 mph top speed, and the ultimate street-legal race car experience for its time, the Ferrari F40 went on to be one of the most desirable Ferraris to ever exist and one of the best supercars of all time.

Porsche 918 Spyder
Mecum
The hybrid “holy trinity” of hypercars was likely the most important thing to happen in the 2010s for auto enthusiasts. The Porsche 918 Spyder was one of the exotic cars that redefined hard and fast beliefs in the car world, most importantly the one that hybrids were boring. The 918 used it’s electric capacity to complement its gas engine and achieve the world’s first sub-7-minute lap around the ‘Ring for a street-legal production car.

Lamborghini Murcielago
Curated
The Murcielago was a rare car that earned the respect of just about anyone because it was a thoroughbred Lamborghini: purely dedicated to incredible looks and incredible performance. Lamborghini proved as they had before that they were unwilling to compromise when it came to beauty and speed, with a top speed of over 200 miles per hour, which was probably why Dark Knight’s Bruce Wayne made it his vehicle of choice.

Porsche Carrera GT
RM Sotheby’s
Any childhood ‘Need for Speed’ fans who grew up with iconic titles like ‘Carbon’ and ‘Most Wanted’ know that there isn’t a car quite like the Porsche Carrera GT. Its incredible looks have stood the test of time, and its sub-4-second 0-60 stat ensures that the Carrera GT doesn’t waste any. The Carrera GT is, beyond a doubt, a pure icon in Porsche history. This supercar list wouldn’t be complete without the Carrera GT.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series
The 2010 introduction of the SLS AMG was enough to completely rock the word for car enthusiasts: an incredibly performing grand tourer with the 300SL’s iconic gullwing doors and the world’s most powerful production naturally aspirated engine at the time. In the car’s even more incredible Black Series spec, 3.2 seconds to 60 and a 196 mph top speed were on the table.

Bugatti Chiron
Bugatti
In 2016, we didn’t see it coming. The Bugatti Chiron shattered expectations that car enthusiasts didn’t even know they had. The Veyron’s already unbelievable W16 engine was improved upon, even more, giving drivers an unprecedented 1479 horsepower. On top of that, the top speed is electronically limited to 261 mph, and we might never know the Chiron’s true potential. There are many reasons that the Chiron belongs on this exotic car list.

Bugatti Veyron
One could argue that the Buggati Veyron 16.4 was a car that marked the beginning of a new era for supercars, sports cars, and cars in general. Before that car was put into production, the world wouldn’t even imagine that a car with a 16-cylinder engine would be real and drivable. A world record for a 253 mph top speed later, the world was proven wrong. The Veyron has become just one of those exotic car names that everyone knows.

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
It’s not easy for a company like Lamborghini to go even further towards the cutting edge of innovation than it already is, but the Aventador SVJ managed that. Thanks to 759 horsepower and an all-new active aerodynamics system that Lamborghini developed just for the SVJ, it has the record for the fastest production car lap around the ‘Ring under its belt as we speak.

Lamborghini Veneno
Lamborghini
1.41 lateral Gs is what the Lamborghini Veneno can produce in a corner, meaning you can be pushed to the side at a force equal to 1.4 times the amount of gravity while cornering in a Lamborghini Veneno, without breaking traction. That statistic only scratches the surface of what makes this extremely unique and rare Lamborghini so special.
Lexus LFA
RM Sotheby’s
There’s nothing like the sound of a V10, but there’s really nothing at all like the sound of the Lexus LFA. So, when you’re using only 3.6 seconds to get to 60 mph, and revving the LFA all the way to 9000 rpm before switching to the next gear, you can thank not only Toyota but sound and engineering experts at Yamaha for the performance and sound you’ll be treated to along the way.

McLaren Senna
Having raced for McLaren’s F1 team during the peak of his F1 career, the late and great Aryton Senna has an incredible legacy in the McLaren brand. That’s why when they set out to build one of the most powerful and capable track-focused cars the world had ever seen, it was him they wanted to honor. With 2.8 seconds to 60 mph and less than 10 seconds for a quarter mile, the Senna lives up to its supercar name.

Dodge Viper ACR
With a melodic V10 engine designed by Lamborghini and the perfect proportions of every enthusiast’s grand touring dreams, the Dodge Viper is a hard formula to beat. Add the ACR package, and it’s even harder. With fewer bells and whistles, and a laser focus on speed, the ACR offers its driver the most downforce of any production car at top speed, which is 1,763 pounds at 177 mph.

Saleen S7
Barrett-Jackson
Any fan of Saleen knows that they are all about performance, between the Mustangs and F-150s that they have turned into monstrous machines, and the legendary S7. 2.7 seconds in 0-60 time and a 248 mph top speed make it clear that after 20 years, the S7 remains a source of pride in all-American speed.

Ferrari F50
Ferrari’s mid 90s flagship model wasn’t just known for its dramatic styling, it was a car that started some serious drama on the asphalt, too. Its 512 horsepower, F1-derived V12 packed a serious punch, resulting in figures like a 3.8 second 0-60 mph, and a 202 mph top speed, which for today are impressive, and for the 90s, are simply insane.
