Aston Martin DB9
Top Gear Cars
Sleek, sensual and so, so good. The DB9 is the first Aston Martin that doesn't leave you disappointed, even a little bit. If you don't want one, you're probably dead
Audi r8
Top Gear Cars
If Volkswagen couldn't make the S-Class-rivalling Phaeton work, could Audi make the 911-rivalling Audi R8 a success? Yep. Meet the new everyday supercar
Bentley Continental GT
Top Gear Cars
The new and thoroughly modern Bentley. While it's beautiful, fast and only for the rich, some hairs on the back of the neck still stay down. Is it because it's four-wheel drive?
Caterham Super 7
Top Gear Cars
Although the same basic, stripped, semi-racing car design as the Lotus Seven (c. 1959), Caterham has steadily improved this Fifties relic into a Porsche eater
Ferrari 599 GTB
Top Gear Cars
Everyone's been raving about the Ferrari 599 GTB. And why not? It's nearly as quick as an Enzo, but doesn't scare the bejesus out of you. An accessible supercar - motoring heaven
Ferrari F430
Top Gear Cars
Not a facelifted Ferrari 360 by any stretch. The F430 is an astonishing bit of kit, as happy to potter as it is to make you swallow your own tongue
Honda Civic Type R
Top Gear Cars
Top Gear's Hot Hatch of 2007, and still the sharpest and most driver-focused car in its class. Don't be fooled by the talk that it's gone soft: it hasn't
Jaguar XF
Top Gear Cars
All-new S-Type replacement that finally brings Jag up the level of the Germans. Drives as well as it looks and it's got some nice innovation inside too
Koenigsegg CC
Top Gear Cars
Massively fast. In fact, the Koenigsegg CC is one of the fastest cars we've ever tested. So that pretty much makes it a credible entry to the supercar club then...
Lamborghini Gallardo
Top Gear Cars
Ferrari 360-toppling supercar. Sounds like a thermo-nuclear device being detonated, while the driving experience is just as explosive with 500bhp and four-wheel drive
Lamborghini Murcielago
Top Gear Cars
Lamborghini's awesome Murciélago puts the fear of God into you. And we wouldn't have it any other way. A truly awe-inspiring supercar experience that does justice to the name, if you can say it properly
Mercedes SLR McLaren
Top Gear Cars
You spend all that money and you end up with something that looks like a Mercedes SL. The SLR McLaren sounds amazing, though. And, of course, it goes like stink. One of the world's fastest, in fact
Mitsubishi Evo IX
Top Gear Cars
This is more like it. Rally-winning expertise turns unassuming saloon into turbocharged, four-wheel-drive, sharp-handling nutmobile. Mitsubishi's Evo IX is fabulous, if not at all subtle
Morgan Aero 8
Top Gear Cars
The Aero 8 is a 'modern' Morgan with a fantastic BMW V8 engine, but with the looks of a melted wellington boot. And now they've made it bigger and safer for the US market
Nissan 350Z
Top Gear Cars
Nissan's 350Z was updated in '06 and now gets another tweak. This time the engine's 80 per cent new, so yet more power and torque. Still looks the same though, which is a good thing
Pagani Zonda
Top Gear Cars
YPFWYG - you pay for what you get. Eighty grand over £300,000 gets you a 7.3-litre 12-cylinder, rear-drive super coupe that's over-endowed with kit and thrills
Porsche Carrera GT
Top Gear Cars
Le Mans' loss is our gain. Well, those lucky few rich gits who can afford Porsche's Carrera GT, the best speed machine you're ever likely to see on a road
Porsche 911
Top Gear Cars
The sports car that shouldn't really exist in this day and age. But it does, and thank heaven for the expertise that has made the Porsche 911 one of the finest, fastest cars you'll ever drive
Rolls-Royce Phantom
Top Gear Cars
A near perfect blend of Brit design and engineering direction with German technology and production prowess - a true Rolls-Royce. New Drophead is as refined as a convertible can be
Subaru Impreza
Top Gear Cars
New approach from Subaru - the saloon's been ditched and it's now a hatch. Reassuringly, the Impreza's still not pretty, but wait for the turbocharged versions before you get too excited
