All 106 McLaren Speedtails slated for production have been sold, despite their $2.3 million price tag

, but that hasn’t stopped the world’s top car builders—including Aston Martin, Audi, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and others—from delivering some of the most otherworldly performance vehicles in years.Previously code-named Project 003, the AM-RB 003 is the third model in Aston Martin’s mid-engine lineup, joining the stunning Valkyrie and extreme Valkyrie AMR Pro.

At its core is the automaker’s iconic W16 8-liter 16-cylinder engine, which develops 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque. Though Bugatti did not release performance figures, the car is technically capable of the same blistering performance exhibited by the Chiron and Divo since it is equipped with the same mill. However, Bugatti says the car is set up for cruising rather than just going fast, so your guess on speed and capability is as good as mine.

The Jesko is motivated by an all-new 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 capable of producing 1,280 horsepower on standard gas and 1,106 pound-feet of torque, which makes it the most potent Koenigsegg internal combustion engine ever made. The Agera RS, for comparison, was rated at 1,160 horses on gas. Koenigsegg will build 125 Jeskos in two variants: one that is track-focused and one that is a more road-friendly machine. Each will cost $2.8 million.Only a few months after Lamborghini introduced the Huracán Evo Coupe to the world, the house of the raging bull is chopping the top to create the Evo Spyder.

Like the legendary F1, the Speedtail seats three, with the driver steering from the center of the cockpit. However, that’s where the similarities seemingly end. McLaren classifies the car as a Hyper-GT. At first glance, the car looks like it’s breaking the speed limit standing still. Every detail—from its ultra-low stance to the ultra-slim headlights in the front fascia to jet-fighter style canopy covering the cockpit—has been designed to enhance the car aerodynamically.

The Roadster’s hardware is nearly identical to the Coupe’s. A four-liter twin-turbo V8 resides under the hood, delivering 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, just like the Coupe. When all that power is routed through the seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission, Mercedes claims the car will accelerate to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and achieve a top speed of 197 mph, a little slower than the Coupe.

To ensure the GT car can handle that type of power in the twists and turns, Piëch engineers positioned the car’s battery pack in the chassis’ center tunnel and around the rear axle. This configuration makes the vehicle extraordinarily balanced and gives it a low center of gravity, so it will theoretically handle like a dream, staying planted on the ground even at speed.
