The last decade was incredible for the global auto industry. With competition at an all-time high, manufacturers built many incredible supercars in an attempt to outshine their competitors, resulting in icons like the Bugatti Chiron, McLaren Speedtail, and Ferrari LaFerrari, to name a few.
The rate at which manufacturers are unveiling new incredible cars doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon, which is easy to tell if you look at the upcoming cars we’re about to show you. Some of these cars won’t be on our roads for many years, but we’re telling you about them now because they matter and will be a key part of the industry.
10 Aspark Owl
The Japanese auto industry has lagged behind its competitors when it comes to building electric sports cars. However, that will soon change when the Aspark Owl debuts.
Although it’s built by a relatively unknown company, the Owl is one of the most exciting Japanese cars of the last few decades. Its gorgeous aerodynamic design is sure to drop jaws everywhere it will go, and with a 1,984-hp electric powertrain, it will be incredibly quick. The Owl will reportedly cost more than $2.5 million, making it one of the most expensive Japanese cars ever.
9 Czinger 21C
Czinger Vehicles is a little-known American automaker that has been in business since 2019. The first vehicle developed by Czinger is known as the 21C and looking at it, most gearheads can’t believe that it was developed by a company established less than five years ago.
The 21C shows just how far automotive technology has come. It was developed using artificial intelligence and will be produced using 3D printing technology. Powered by a twin-turbo V8 aided by three electric motors to produce a total of 1,350 hp, the 21C will be among the fastest American cars.
8 Gordon Murray T50
Most gearheads have at least heard of the renowned Gordon Murray, as he’s responsible for coming up with one of the most iconic British cars—the McLaren F1. Despite his many accomplishments, Murray always wanted to build his own supercar from scratch, so he established Gordon Murray Automotive in 2017 to do just that.
The T50—is an incredible piece of engineering. Inspired by the McLaren F1, the T50 is an awesome mid-engined supercar with a beautiful design and a 654-hp naturally aspirated V12 engine powering it.
7 Tesla Cybertruck
Tesla has established itself as the largest EV manufacturer in the world. Tesla is on a mission to dominate every EV segment, and the Cybertruck is its entry into the very new electric pickup truck market.
The Cybertruck stunned gearheads when it was unveiled in 2019, largely thanks to its unusual design that made it look like some sort of alien transportation device. The Cybertruck’s production was supposed to start in 2021, but in true Tesla fashion, it has been pushed back to 2023.
6 Bugatti Bolide
The Bugatti W16 engine has been superb over the last two decades, powering two of the fastest supercars of all time—the Veyron and the Chiron. With growing pressure to use smaller, more eco-friendly engines, Bugatti will soon stop using its W16 engine. Thankfully, the marque is building one last car to give the W16 a fitting send-off—the Bolide.
Announced in 2020, the Bolide is a track-focused supercar that’s based on the mechanical underpinnings of the Chiron. It uses the same engine as the Chiron but has several upgrades to boost its power to a crazy 1,825 hp.
5 Mercedes-AMG One
Mercedes-Benz has dominated the F1 racing scene for much of the last decade. To celebrate, the company is developing a new limited-edition plug-in hybrid sports car called the Mercedes-AMG One.
There’s a lot that excites us about the Mercedes-AMG One. For one, it has a proper supercar design that will help Mercedes-Benz compete against the likes of Koenigsegg and Bugatti in the hypercar space. It also has a complex hybrid drivetrain generating a combined 1,049 hp paired with advanced F1-sourced technologies.
4 Aston Martin Valkyrie
Via: Aston Martin
Although Aston Martin builds some of the most desirable European sports cars, it’s usually not chasing any speed records. That’s about to change when the Valkyrie arrives.
The Valkyrie is a limited-production hybrid sports car that Aston Martin is building with the help of Red Bull Racing. The Valkyrie is intended to be a track-oriented car that’s also perfectly legal to drive on public roads. The Valkyrie will be powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine aided by a Rimac electric motor and will have a combined output of 1,176 hp.
3 Ferrari Daytona SP3
The V12 engine is an endangered species in the auto industry, especially since Lamborghini announced that it will no longer be using it. However, one company that is still not letting go of the V12 engine is Ferrari, which is why it is developing the Daytona SP3.
The Daytona SP3 is the latest part of the Ferrari ‘Icona’ series and will be limited to 599 units only. It has a superb design inspired by the legendary 330 P4 race car and the power to match, thanks to a massive 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 830 hp.
2 Honda Civic Type-R
The Honda Civic has been among the most popular Japanese vehicles in the US for decades. Millions of Americans have bought Civics for their practicality, reliability, and affordability. However, in the ’90s, Honda noticed that some Civic buyers needed more power, so they built the first Civic Type-R.
Since then, Honda has built a Type-R version for every Civic generation. The latest generation of the Civic Type-R is currently in the testing stages and will be in dealerships by the end of the year.
1 Koenigsegg Gemera
When making high-performance supercars, most manufacturers sacrifice practicality and comfort to boost performance. Koenigsegg is looking to change that with the Gemera—the world’s first four-seat supercar.
The Gemera is an engineering masterpiece. It is powered by a tiny 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 590 hp. It also has three electric motors that raise the Gemera’s output to a total of 1,700 hp. Koenigsegg claims the Gemera will have a top speed of 249 mph, which is crazy for a four-seater.
