Ford GT -- 646bhp, 220mph
The Ford GT was initially revealed to stunned onlookers at the Detroit motor show way back at the start of 2015. It took until 2017 for anybody to get behind the wheel on the street. By that point, the race version had already taken a course victory at Le Mans. The road car shouldn't work. Race cars that end up on the road rarely do. However, the GT manages to ride properly, manage skilfully and stay up to its newer-than-space-age looks. A landmark car.
Apollo Intensa Emozione -- 769bhp, 208mph
The Apollo had us at 'Batmobile-inspired styling'. Then it kept on winning us over with its 769bhp Ferrari-derived V12 and purist inspirations. The IE was created for monitor work only, but when all ten get sold, it'll finance a road car that'll hopefully consider at least half as bonkers. This is what supercars are about, right?
Jeep Trackhawk -- 707bhp, 180mph
Bear in Mind the Dodge Demon out of a few slides ago? The madder, badder Hellcat? Course you do. Now imagine the amount of dreadful light beer consumed by the individual who developed the idea of slotting the 707bhp version of said supercharged V8 to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This, not the Lamborghini Urus, is the most effective SUV of 2017. 'Murica one, Italy, nil
Dodge Demon -- 840bhp, 168mph
The very first road-certified factory automobile to be formally effective at wheelies (or even wheelstands, we assume ) is your Dodge Hellcat's even more evil, quarter-mile-munching twin. It's a drag-race monster with an 840bhp supercharged V8 heart, although that sub-170mph top rate is the lowest in this list, the Demon's ability to launch in 0-60mph in a verifiable 2.3 moments is as impressive as it's barmy. A worthy addition to the annals of muscle car legend.
Hennessey Exorcist -- 1,000bhp, n/a mph
Of course, Texan horsepower fetishist John Hennessey couldn't allow Dodge enjoy the spoils of war for extended without devoting his own unleaded-swilling riposte -- with a smart name to boot. The Exorcist isalso, as you can see, according to a Camaro ZL1 (or even the more track focused 1LE, should you prefer), and, ahem, trumps the Dodge alternative by developing 1,000bhp. The top speed is so far unknown, but since the 0-60mph period is sub 3sec, we think that you 'll agree it deserves a place among 2017's very unhinged performance automobiles.
Lamborghini Aventador S -- 730bhp, 217mph
Speaking of V12s, Lamborghini's flagship had a proper workover in 2017 in order to keep pace with the aptly-named 812 Superfast. The Aventador S's enormous invention is rear-wheel steering, which provides the new huge bull something coming agility, however the extra 40bhp wrung from the 6.5-litre V12 is a bonus worth having.
