Intro

In this special bookazine I’ve taken a close look at the very special motors that are often reserved for the rich and famous. And fortunately, in the name of good investigative journalism, I’ve managed to hitch a ride in some of the most amazing models on sale today. I blagged my way into the driver’s seats of the Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster, the strangely named Ferrari 812 Superfast and McLaren’s new ultra super-lightweight track weapon, the 600LT Spider.

But that’s not all. I’ve recalled a very special test drive I once had in Jaguar’s unsold C-X75 supercar. You may recognise that monster from the Bond film Spectre, and will probably know it was killed off before the clever chaps from Coventry ever got the chance to build a production model, but I was lucky enough to get a go on a closed test track.

Elsewhere, I list my top 10 supercars of all time, reveal which ones you should avoid, and give you my top tips on buying, selling and looking after your supercar.

My favourite section to put together, though, was the cars of the decades. I’ve picked my favourite supercars from the Sixties through to the Noughties.

I’ve also taken my beady eye to some iconic supercars and pored over the details of the supercars that changed the world forever. Cars like the Ferrari F40 – yes please, I’ll take 10 – and the McLaren F1 (what a stunner), the game-changing Bugatti Veyron and the classic and utterly beautiful Lamborghini Countach.

And if you think you know your supercars like I know my supercars then prove it in my special quiz.

So, sit back and relax with a cup of builder’s tea, a slice of homemade cake as good as my lovely wife Michelle makes, and drink in my thoughts on some of the most amazing cars ever to hit the streets. Ta da!
