Mercedes SLR McLaren
What about this – The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. This supercharged, hand-build 5.4Litre V8 engine develops over 600HP, and does 0-100kms per hour in around 3 seconds. Like it? We do… Come on the USA tour and drive it!
Lamborghini’s have always been at the top of the list of everyone’s ultimate supercar. The Gallardo does not disappoint. It may be the ‘entry level’ into the famous marque but that V10 engine is one of the best sounds from a car we have ever heard!
Specs: 520bhp, 309kph top speed and 0-100 in 4.1 seconds.
Best Clarkson quote: “I’m delighted to say… the lunacy is back!” and “Its like listening to the cirque du soleil being chopped up by their own chainsaws!”

This particular car was used on the 2008 and 2010 supercar tours and was voted the best car of the tour both years. With a awesome V8 this car sounds the part when you give it the beans, and is the ultimate motorway cruiser at 100MPH.
Specs: 420bhp, 301kph top speed and 0-100 4.4 secs.
Check out the Top Gear review of the R8. Best Clarkson quote: “Driving most supercars is like trying to manhandle a cow up a back staircase… this is like smearing honey into Keira Knightley!”
The F430 is still the one when it comes to being king of the Autobahns or the twisty bits… and everyone wants to drive it. It shouts ‘look at me’ and that Ferrari V8 sounds so good… music to the ears!
Specs: 483bhp, 319kph top speed and 0-100 in 3.9 secs.
Check out the video below of Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the F430. Best quote “Ferrari are now on just an all new level… this thing makes a Porsche Turbo feel like a canal boat…”
