The 10 best supercars for sale today offer performance, thrills and stunning style

Nothing says 'I'm doing well for myself' like a supercar parked on the driveway. These stunning creations cost a fortune, but in return the lucky owner gets a car with stunning performance, brilliant handling, and more often than not striking exterior and interior styling.

What you're really paying for with a supercar is rarity. Unless you live in Mayfair, the Hollywood hills or perhaps Monaco you're not going to stress about your neighbour having the same car as you. Plenty of manufacturers are making these supercars though, so you'll have plenty of choice should you decide to take the plunge into exotic ownership.

Supercars come from all kinds of manufacturers. Established traditional brands like Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren and Lamborghini have been producing supercars for years, but now they're forced to line up against rivals like the Lexus LFA, BMW i8 or Noble M400.

Whoever makes them, all supercars have fearsome price tags and cost a packet to run, but the trade-off is scintillating performance and the capacity to get the adrenaline flowing. It’s not unusual for a supercar to top 200mph these days, and 0-60 times of under three seconds are becoming commonplace.

Experiencing that level of acceleration is a thrill that never fades for a supercar’s owner, but the enjoyment that supercars create for those who can’t afford them is plain to see too. That’s because we can all enjoy their outlandish and beautiful bodywork and spine-tingling exhaust notes. In fact, there’s not much that stirs the soul of a petrolhead more than seeing and hearing a Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren supercar rocketing past.

Our top 10 features supercars that really do tick all of the boxes - they are powerful, packed with tech, stunning to look at and, importantly, still great to live with day-to-day. We think the car that manages this best is the superb McLaren 650S, the replacement for last year's 12C. However, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Ferrari are also storied names in the supercar world, and their cars play a major part in this list.
