Supercar enthusiasts can expect a bumper 2024 as manufacturers roll out a smorgasbord of automotive exotica. While high-sided, super-SUVs dominate the market, there’s still plenty of room for extreme machines that promote performance over functionality. Nearly all our choices for the best new supercars of 2024 utilise battery power: adding electric motors to the mix means a dramatic increase in performance. Some are designed for track-only use, all are thrillingly different.

Buckle up for a run-down of the best fast and furious supercars expected this year.

Aston Martin Valhalla

After a fleeting appearance in the 007 movie No Time To Die, the incredible Aston Martin Valhalla is finally due to arrive this year. This mid-engined supercar is powered by a 998hp hybrid powertrain and will cost roughly £700,000. Aston Martin collaborated with its racing team to develop the two-seater, which employs underbody aerodynamics to create massive downforce with an F1-inspired DRS system to aid overtaking. Multi-element front wings lie flat at speed to reduce drag still further. Equipped with three electric motors and a twin-turbo V8, the hellishly fast Valhalla will storm to 60mph in 2.5 seconds and thunder on to 217mph.

Lamborghini Revuelto

If the Lamborghini Aventador just wasn’t crazy enough, the new Revuelto produces a heady 1,001bhp. The Italian supercar combines three electric motors with a 6.5-litre V12 engine for astonishing levels of performance. 0-62mph is achieved in 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 217mph. Lamborghini’s first production, plug-in hybrid is also six inches longer than the outgoing Aventador but still uses switchgear inspired by a fighter jet. If you want one join the queue – the Revuelto is sold out until 2026.

Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale

If an everyday Ferrari isn’t exceptional enough, XX ‘extra-special-series’ models are the very pinnacle of Maranello’s offering. This one is the brand’s first road-legal XX and follows on from rarities such as the FXX-K and the 599XX. Priced from £674,000, the Stradale is catapulted to 62mph in 2.3 seconds by a twin-turbo V8, supplemented by three electric motors. Ridiculously quick, the supercar boasts massive downforce – aided in no small part by the first fixed rear spoiler on a road-going Ferrari in decades. A Spider version is also planned, with total production restricted to 1,398 examples.

Bugatti Bolide

The Bolide is a £3.3 million hypercar without a steering wheel – or one of a conventional nature. Instead, Bugatti has opted for a compact, F1-style unit created from 3D polygonal modelling, as used in the visual effects industry. Just 40 Bolides are destined for production, each one equipped with a mammoth 1,578bhp, 8.0-litre engine. More Batmobile than car, the Bugatti is fitted with a front diffuser to guide air flow and create suction to the road. Other dinner table talking points are titanium suspension rods weighing 100g and rear tyres measuring 400mm. Not surprisingly, you will need a racetrack to drive a Bolide too.

Lotus Emeya

Lotus’ first electric saloon is a four-door GT that shares a platform with the Eletre SUV. A rival to the Tesla Model S, the Emeya’s dual-motor set-up pumps out 905hp and promises a 0-60mph time of just 3.8 seconds. A giant infotainment screen dominates the dashboard, complemented by a 55-inch, augmented reality head-up display. Ingenious features include an ‘active’ front grille that opens to aid cooling of the motors and battery, or remain closed to reduce drag. The Emeya’s adaptive air suspension uses a system that can monitor the road ahead 1000 times per second. Expect to pay around £90,000.

Rodin FZERO

Perhaps the maddest-looking hypercar of all time is this outrageous single-seater from New Zealand. The FZERO is expected to cost £1.8 million and should be available in 2024 for track-only use. Radical styling is complemented by a 4.0-litre V10 engine that produces 1,013bhp and a top speed of 223mph. The tiny, capsule cockpit and mammoth front wheel arches ensure the FZERO will become a showstopper wherever it is driven. A leftfield rival to the more ‘conventional’ Mercedes-Benz AMG One.
