The World of Super SUVs

The world of supercars isn’t limited to sleek coupes anymore. High-performance SUVs have entered the car world with a blend of speed, luxury, and everyday usability in ways we’ve never seen before. Leading this elite class are three standouts: the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, and Aston Martin DBX.

Lamborghini Urus

The Urus is everything you’d expect from a Lamborghini—loud, fast, and aggressive—but in SUV form. Its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 pumps out 657 horsepower, launching it from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. That makes it one of the quickest SUVs on the market, with a top speed of roughly 190 mph. The urus is all sharp lines and bold angles. Inside, the cabin gives fighter-jet vibes, with multiple digital displays, a drive mode selector, and bolstered seats that hug you in place. It’s a combination of performance with space to fit the family.

Bentley Bentayga

The Bentley Bentayga is a leader in luxury with a surprising performance edge. Whether you choose the V8 or the W12 Speed model, you’re getting power wrapped in British elegance. The Speed trim produces 626 horsepower and offers a silky-smooth ride even at 187 mph. Inside the Bentayga, it has hand-stitched leather, real wood veneers, and nearly endless customization options. The Bentayga is perfect for those who want supercar power but in an SUV dedicated to luxury.

Aston Martin DBX

The DBX marks Aston Martin’s first SUV, and it’s a strong debut. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, borrowed from Mercedes-AMG, that produces up to 697 horsepower in the DBX707 variant. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in just 3.1 seconds, putting it easily in supercar territory. True to the Aston Martin brand, the DBX blends athleticism with elegance. Its boasts sleek lines, a distinctive grille, and an upscale interior to create a unique presence on the road. The handling is sharp, the ride is smooth, and the attention to detail is everything you’d expect from a brand with racing in its DNA.

The Best of British Speed: McLaren

McLaren has built a reputation around speed, innovation, and sharp driving dynamics, but not every car in their lineup has the same effect. Among all the models they’ve produced, three stand out as the true stars of the modern McLaren era: the 765LT, the 720S, and the 600LT. 

1. McLaren 765LT 

Yeung, J. (2021, March 8). Hennessey gives the new McLaren 765LT a 1,000-horsepower upgrade. Hypebeast. https://hypebeast.com/2021/3/hennessey-mclaren-765lt-1000-horsepower-upgrade-package

The 765LT is a car that demands your respect. Based on the already insane 720S, the 765LT pushes things even further with 755 horsepower, a lightweight frame, and ridiculous aerodynamics that give it a fighter jet appearance. It is brutally fast, reaching 0–60 in under 3 seconds. The steering is also very much alive with incredible precision. The brakes are taken from the McLaren Senna, and the entire car feels like it was built to be on a track. The McLaren 765LT is arguably the most exhilarating modern McLaren experience you can get.

2. McLaren 720S 

Krok, A. (2021, August 13). 2021 McLaren 720S review: A sublime supercar. CNET. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/reviews/2021-mclaren-720s-review/

The 720S might just be the perfect middle ground between performance and usability. With 710 horsepower and a carbon monocoque chassis, it’s lightning quick yet surprisingly comfortable on the street. The suspension is magic, absorbing bumps without sacrificing handling, and the cabin is more refined than you’d expect from a car this fast. It’s sleek, balanced, and incredibly capable whether you’re driving in the canyons or showing up to a night out. The 720S proves that you can have extreme performance without giving up everyday usability.

3. McLaren 600LT

For pure driving joy, the 600LT is hard to beat. It’s the lightest and most agile of the three, with 592 horsepower and a chassis that feels incredibly precise. Based on the 570S, the 600LT dials everything up with stiffer suspension, quicker throttle response, and that signature top mounted exhaust that sounds unreal. The 600LT is more analog than the 720S and 765LT which is what makes it so engaging. Every input matters, and it’s a car that makes you feel as if you are one with the machine.

Supercar Classics

 When it comes to classic supercars, you can't forget to mention the Ferrari F40, the Ford GT, and the McLaren F1. Although made in different decades, each of these machines redefined what a supercar should be through performance, engineering, and timeless design.

Ferrari F40

Ruch, P. (2025, January 18). Ferrari F40 – #88374: Radicalmag classics. radicalmag. https://radical-mag.com/en/2025/01/18/ferrari-f40-88374-2/

The Ferrari F40 wasn’t just a car, it was a statement. It was created to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary and was the final car approved by Enzo Ferrari himself. With a twin-turbocharged V8 pushing 471 horsepower, the F40 was brutally fast for its time and delivered raw passion. There was no traction control, no ABS, or even power steering. The F40 was light, loud, and timeless. From the massive rear wing to its stripped-out interior, the F40 was purpose-built for speed and nothing else.

Ford GT

Ross, R. (2022, January 10). Car of the week: A 2005 Ford GT, the first modern American Supercar, is heading to auction. Robb Report. https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/gooding-and-company-2005-ford-gt-online-auction-1234656758/

The mid-2000s Ford GT was a full-throttle tribute to the GT40 that humbled Ferrari at Le Mans in the 1960s. With a supercharged 5.4L V8 delivering 550 hp, the GT offered brute strength with a touch of refinement. It looked vintage, but it drove like a modern supercar with a mid-engine layout, manual transmission, and a finely tuned chassis. The GT was a huge statement for American performance and proved that American engineering could still hang with the best of Europe.

McLaren F1

The McLaren F1 is in a league of its own. Designed by Gordon Murray, it was built with no compromises but rather a mission to create the greatest driver’s car ever. Powered by a naturally aspirated BMW V12, the F1 produced 618 hp and reached a record-setting 240+ mph. It wasn’t just about speed though. The F1 featured a center-seat driving position, a gold-lined engine bay, and obsessive attention to weight and balance. It remains the holy grail of analog performance and a symbol of engineering perfection.

Supercar Income

Supercars and Rentals: How the Luxury Car Market Turns Speed into Profit

In the world of luxury vehicles, supercars are the epitome of style, performance, and exclusivity. For many car enthusiasts, driving a high-performance machine like a Lamborghini or Ferrari may seem like a distant dream. However, the rise of the luxury car rental market has made these dream cars more accessible, and in turn, a profitable business venture for owners. Supercar rentals have become a thriving industry, offering individuals the chance to experience world-class vehicles while allowing owners to cash in on their high-priced assets.

Lamborghini Huracán

If the Urus offers a luxurious driving experience with some practicality, the Lamborghini Huracán is the go-to choice for renters seeking pure sports car thrills.

Ferrari 488

Lammers, M. (2020, April 7). Is the ferrari 488 pista really that good?. ROSSOautomobili. https://rossoautomobili.com/blogs/magazine/is-the-ferrari-488-pista-really-that-good

When it comes to Italian luxury, Ferrari’s 488 stands at the top of many car enthusiasts’ lists. Known for its precise handling, remarkable acceleration, and stunning looks, the Ferrari 488 is a masterpiece in engineering. Renters often choose the Ferrari 488 for its blend of elegance, power, and track-ready performance. Its turbocharged V8 engine provides an exhilarating driving experience, while its sleek, aerodynamic design ensures that the 488 turns heads wherever it goes. This car’s exclusivity and reputation make it a prime candidate for luxury car rental fleets.

High-Revving Legends

When it comes to supercars, power and speed often steal the spotlight. But for true enthusiasts, there’s something even more intoxicating—the sound of a high-revving engine screaming towards redline. Three cars stand out as some of the highest-revving and some would say best sounding
machines ever built: the Ferrari 812 Superfast, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and Lexus LFA.

Ferrari 812 Superfast 

Ferrari 812 Superfast Specifications. SBR Engineering. (2024, February 16). https://sbraceengineering.co.uk/ferrari-specialists/ferrari-models-2010-to-2019/ferrari-812-superfast/

Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 in the 812 Superfast is an absolute masterpiece, revving all the way to 9,500 RPM in its most extreme form (812 Competizione). Producing 789 hp, this engine is Ferrari’s most powerful V12 in a road car.

The sound is a mix of high-pitched wails and deep roars that imitate the classic F1 engines. The 812 isn’t just about noise, though as it delivers razor-sharp throttle response and an exhilarating top-end rush that modern turbocharged engines can’t replicate. With Ferrari slowly transitioning to hybrid powertrains, the 812 represents one of the last pure V12 experiences.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Porsche 992 GT3 RS. Brixton ForgedTM. (2023, February 23). https://brixtonforged.com/portfolio/porsche-992-gt3-rs-wheels-brixton-forged-pf14-rs/

Porsche has always been about precision, and the latest 992-gen 911 GT3 RS is no exception. Its 4.0-liter flat-six revs to a screaming 9,000 RPM, creating an unmistakable wail. Similar to the 812 Superfast, the GT3 RS doesn’t rely on turbochargers. Its naturally aspirated engine delivers instant response, rewarding drivers who push it to the limit.

The high-pitched shriek at redline, combined with aggressive pops and crackles on downshifts, makes this car one of the best-sounding six-cylinders ever. Combine the sound with Porsche’s brilliant engineering, and you get a track weapon that feels at home in any road setting.

Lexus LFA

Furlong, K. (2021, May 22). Extremely Rare Lexus LFA has barely been driven. CarBuzz. https://carbuzz.com/news/extremely-rare-lexus-lfa-has-barely-been-driven/

No conversation about high-revving, beautiful-sounding engines is complete without mentioning the Lexus LFA. Powered by a 4.8-liter V10, the LFA revs to an astonishing 9,500 RPM, and it gets there so quickly that Lexus had to use a digital tachometer because analog ones couldn’t keep up.

The sound is often compared to an F1 car. Lexus fine-tuned the intake and exhaust harmonics to create one of the best-sounding road cars ever made. The LFA was an engineering marvel and became a legend quickly, with prices skyrocketing on the collector’s market.

Street Legal Supercars for the Circuit

For driving enthusiasts, few things compare to the thrill of a car engineered for the track yet legal for the road. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Nissan GT-R Nismo, and Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 are prime examples of performance machines that deliver record breaking lap times without sacrificing their street credibility. This list covers what makes these track weapons so special.

Porsche 992 GT3 RS. Brixton ForgedTM. (2023, February 23). https://brixtonforged.com/portfolio/porsche-992-gt3-rs-wheels-brixton-forged-pf14-rs/

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is an aerodynamic masterpiece, utilizing F1-inspired technology to maximize downforce and cornering ability. It is powered by a 4.0 liter naturally aspirated flat-six producing 518 horsepower. Although it may not have the highest power output, it is engineered for pure track dominance. With 1,895 lbs of downforce at 177 mph, an adjustable rear wing, and an advanced suspension setup, the GT3 RS sticks to the track like a race car. Its Nürburgring lap time of 6:49.33 proves that this is one of the most track-focused road cars ever built. 

Nissan GT-R Nismo Review 2025. Top Gear. (2021a, February 23). https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/nissan/gt-r-nismo

The next car on this list is a true contender from Japan. The Nissan GT-R Nismo carries on the legendary Godzilla name, offering 600 horsepower from a hand-built 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6. Unlike the Porsche, the GT-R Nismo uses an advanced all-wheel-drive system that provides insane levels of grip, allowing it to launch from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. The chassis has been stiffened with extensive use of carbon fiber to reduce weight and improve high-speed stability. Its Nürburgring lap time of 7:08.68 is proof of its relentless performance, making it one of the fastest production cars around the track. 

Corvette Z06. Chevrolet. (n.d.). https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/corvette/z06

The final contender on this list, the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, is a game-changer for American performance cars. Featuring a 5.5L flat-plane crank V8 that revs to 8,600 RPM, the Z06 produces 670 horsepower, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever put in a production car. Unlike its front-engine predecessors, the mid-engine layout provides a close to perfect weight distribution, allowing for sharp handling and incredible stability. The Z06 will shoot from 0-60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, and while its official Nürburgring time has yet to be confirmed, early estimates suggest it will be around 7:10.7. The Z06 rivals European exotics at a fraction of the price, making it one of the best performance bargains on the market.

Each of these cars is a track beast in its own way. Varying in price, styling, and engine layouts, there is a lot to take in when describing these three cars. Regardless, you can't go wrong with the choice of any of the three for use on the track.
