The supercars you'll enjoy on your French driving tour
Marking an exciting moment in Aston Martin’s history, the most powerful V8 Vantage ever delivers the F1 to the roads. You'll feel the thrill of the track with its unique aerodynamic body kit, new 21" wheels and race-inspired graphics.
If you’re hungry for a gorgeous, driver-friendly supercar that’s quick-as-lightning, the new release update to the incredible R8 delivers, and then some. Consider your wish granted.
The successor to the adored 458 sees the eager-revving and naturally aspirated V8 retired in favour of a turbocharged powerplant. This supercar will propel you from 0 - 100 in just three seconds.
The Huracan Spyder combines speed, a sharp design, and the pure roar of power and fun. The convertable offers an ingenious 4WD system, sophisticated technical specs and performance to boot.
Be warned: while there are many fast cars out there, few have the performance capabilities that require drivers to up their game so profoundly. Are you ready for this beast?
With a dauntingly low driving position, way back over the rear axle, the devastatingly handsome GT R draws heavily on the lauded SLS. An agile yet comfortable grand tourer.
A phenomenal car from Porsche's iconic collection, the 992 GT3 epitomises the very best of what Porsche has to offer. Powered by the same four-litre flat-six engine the Motorsport department fits to its GT3 Cup race car, it's sure to thrill.
