Remember being mesmerised as you admired your childhood toy car collection? Well, we continued to chase this obsession into adulthood by accruing a superior fleet of supercars that we regularly drive on the world’s finest roads.
While our full fleet extends beyond the models covered here, we are paying tribute to a handpicked selection of cars that prove favourites among both the UDT team and our guests.
Buckle up – it’s time to meet the fleet.

Aston Martin Vantage F1 Roadster
Driving Aston Martin’s AMR21 racing car along the best roads on the planet just isn’t feasible – fortunately, driving our Aston Martin Vantage F1 Roadster is. One of F1’s famous safety cars and a warmly welcomed addition to our fleet, the Vantage provides a thrilling experience with a searing 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, razor-sharp handling and race-inspired graphics that fill you with a sense of excitement before you even open the door to get in. Naturally, we nicknamed our prolific Vantage ‘Jenson’ after the equally formidable British driver.
Aston Martin DB11
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like 007 (and who hasn’t…), then slipping into our Aston Martin DB11 ‘James’ and weaving around famous Swiss alpine passes is perhaps the closest you’ll come. The refinement of this British motor is matched by its performance and comfort – this really is a supercar made for long journeys. Plus, while we can’t promise built-in rocket launchers, the auto-park assist feature is something straight out of Q Branch!

Ferrari 488
Known as ‘Luigi’, our 488 is one of several gorgeous Ferraris in our supercar fleet and a model our guests make a beeline for – especially on our Italian tours. You just can’t help falling in love as you glide the 488 through the Tuscan backroads, as it oozes classic Maranello style, explosive power and surprising refinement. Driving Luigi is just pure unadulterated fun.
Ferrari 812 Superfast
Taking you from zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, the 812 Superfast truly lives up to its name. We adore this beastly Ferrari on longer journeys for both its handling and comfort. The 812’s ability to buffer bumpy surfaces makes navigating rugged country roads feel unusually silky. Plus, with a dual-cockpit offering navigation and entertainment info, the Superfast proves as much fun for the passenger as the driver.

Audi R8 V10 Spyder
People are often surprised to learn that a guest favourite in our fleet of supercars is our Audi R8 V10 Spyder, ‘Augie’ – a nod to August Horch who founded Audi in 1909. However, spend five minutes with the car and the reason for its popularity becomes clear. In fact, it’s perhaps one of the most underrated sports cars of the last two decades, showing off an Audi drivetrain, thunderous Lamborghini V10 engine and looks that could kill.
Bentley Continental GT
Bentley’s Continental GT is a true gentleman in our supercar fleet and the model responsible for the revival of the famous marque. The GT may be a real stunner, but it’s just as special to drive thanks to its wonderfully luxurious cabin. With sophisticated suspension and high-end ambiance, you can melt into one of the most composed and comfortable drives of your life. In fact, it’s almost easy to forget about the twin-turbo W12 under the hood offering acceleration on tap. It also features very generous boot space, making it an ideal supercar for long drives.

Lamborghini Huracán
When it came to choosing a variant of the Lamborghini Huracán for our fleet of supercars, we opted for the Performante Spyder, which is quite possibly the best car the Italian marque produces and certainly one of the most impressive Lamborghinis we have ever driven. With the roof down, the power, noise and responsiveness of this scorching convertible combine for an emotional experience.
Chevrolet Corvette C8
Christened ‘Roxanne’ by our lively Facebook community, the Chevrolet Corvette C8 is one of the newest additions to our fleet of supercars. Needless to say, Roxy settled in very quickly. With a truly monstrous 6.2-litre supercharged V8 under the hood, this fiery all-American redhead exudes competence and confidence. This swagger translates into your driving – you feel like a rockstar as you cruise the open roads.

McLaren 720S
For a pure and exhilarating drive, look no further than the McLaren 720S. Even lined up in the world’s finest supercar fleet, the 720S catches the eye – this is a car with presence. This feeling of superiority continues when you are sailing along, with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine giving you ample power while advanced performance features make the driving feel next level. Despite so much tech, the 720S still delivers the analogue sensation we adore in a modern supercar.
Ferrari Portofino
Love at first sight. Named after the beautiful Italian fishing village, the drop-top Ferrari Portofino delivers power and class in droves. It sports an awesome twin-turbo V8 engine that will propel you to more than 120 mph in just over 10 seconds. Yet unlike some more hard-edged releases from this iconic marque, the Portofino delivers excellent comfort and convenience. For us, there’s no better supercar to enjoy on a long road trip when the sun is beaming down.

Mercedes-AMG GT R
Racing fans will recognize the Mercedes-AMG GT R as one of Formula 1’s safety cars. Our own GT R, better known as ‘Franz’, has quickly become a standout model among both our team and guests. It sports a twin-turbo V8 engine that produces quite the roar, but Franz is much more than just a fast car. The GT R exudes so much personality, driving it can begin to feel a little addictive.
Porsche 911 Turbo
One of the understated stars of our supercar fleet, the 911 Turbo is just so pleasing to drive. The German marque really has excelled in delivering a classic car with timeless style and accessible, sizzling performance. We love guiding this supercar through the mountains, forests and sweeping coastal highways of Europe, with the ‘push-to-pass’ button that boosts horsepower making you feel truly unstoppable.

Porsche 911 GT3
Our beloved 911 GT3 ‘Hans’ has been sixty years in the making. Porsche pulls out all the stops with this one, which is often seen as the ultimate 911. It features a 4-litre flat-six engine – as you would find fitted to the GT3 Cup race car – producing close to 9,000 rpm. With superior grip and aerodynamics, you are guaranteed a feeling of total exhilaration wherever you drive it.
Lamborghini Aventador S
Saving the best for last? Many of our guests would agree, because Lamborghini’s Aventador S is simply astounding. We love its flamboyant design almost as much as what’s under the hood. With a fierce V12 engine driving a top speed of more than 217 mph, it really is a raging bull to drive – but one that is easily tamed thanks to its intuitive handling. Utterly absorbing.
