Supercars of 2009

The Bertone Mantide, the Aston Martin One-77 and the Ferrari 599X X. Three cars because there’s only so many you can fit on a bit of paper without things getting crowded. No such problems on the internet, so we’ve brought you five, that’s five, more supercars that will be hot off the gold-plated production line in 2009. Starting with the…

1. Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster

A 6.5-litre V12 engine produces 650bhp al the way to 205mph, via a 0-60mph time of 3.4 seconds. Yours for about $400,000.

2. Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce

Another Lambo, another very fast car, taking the same V12 engine but with extra chilli sauceto take it to 670bhp.

3. Giugiaro Namir

This hybrid is a collaboration between Italdesign Giugiaro and Frazer-Nash. Its enormous battery, 0.8-litre petrol rotary engine and two electric motors combine to produce 370bhp, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 187mph. Oh, and a 1,200 mile range (at more economic speeds).

4. GTA Spano

Hola hola hola, what’s all this then? A Spanish supercar, that’s what. And it goes like a raging bull. It’s mid-mounted V10 produces 780bhp which will pull your face off as it goes from 0-60 in less than three seconds and not ease up until it reaches 217mph.
