9. McLaren P1

Top Speed: 217 mph

McLaren has long been the king of supercar makers, and they retain their title with the McLaren P1. Under the hood the P1 houses a twin turbo 3.8 liter 727 hp engine coupled with a 177 hp electric motor that combined put out 903 hp, and produces a top speed of 217mph, reaching 60mph in 2.7 seconds.The P1’s hydro-pneumatic suspension, rear wing extending close to 12 inches, and an electro-hydraulically assisted steering allows it to outperform its rivals when roaring around the track. It may not be faster than it’s competitors, but speed is only part of the equation. While others are going faster in a line, the P1 is able to corner at insane speeds. With multiple driver-selectable programs (e-mode, normal, sport, track and race), you’re not without options when driving. Race mode drops the body two inches and raises the wing close to a foot off the body, but driving on anything other than a race track could cause the P1 to scrape when it hits road imperfections.
