The 10 Best Supercars Coming In 2018
Supercars are, well, super. They are the fastest, the best, the most cutting-edge cars available. Super cars are defined by having handling, styling, and speed that goes above and beyond the vast majority of their peers within the same era. We’re going to go over what will likely be the best super cars to hit the road in 2018, which a special emphasis on new or dramatically updated supercars.
Keep in mind, some 2019 models will hit the road in 2018, as will some 2018 models. This can create some confusion, but we’re going to focus on cars that are either first hitting the road (for consumers) in 2018, or being widely rolled out.
2018 Bugatti Chiron
With 1,500 horsepower, the 2018 Bugatti Chiron promises to be one of the fastest and most powerful cars ever produced. Starting at $2.6 million, you’ll have to shell out a lot of money for this supercar. However, you’ll get what might be the fastest production car ever, with a top speed estimated at 288 miles per hour. You’ll hit 60 in less than 2.5 seconds. Expect this car to dominate 2018, and perhaps beyond.
2019 Ferrari 488 GTB
We’re getting into speculative territory here, but the 2019 Ferrari 488 GTB is expected by many to mark the end of this iconic car’s run. If that’s the case, expect the 2019 Ferrari 488 GTB to send the 488 out on a very high note. Industry insiders are expecting the 2019 Ferrari 488 GTB to be a “hardcore” supercar. Combined with the 488’s classic and iconic styling, this 2019 model could go down as one of the greatest supercars ever.
2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Chevrolet isn’t a badge usually associated with “supercars” even if they are well-known for muscle cars. While Corvette’s are highly respected by car enthusiasts, the vast majority of Corvettes don’t qualify for “supercar” status. That’s not the case with the 2019 Corvette ZR1. This beast of a car will top 200 miles per hour and is expected to hit 60 somewhere around the mid 2’s. Only 3,000 or so of these cars are expected to be produced per year. Certainly, the 2019 Corvette ZR1 will be a six figure car, but compared to most supercars, it should be quite affordable.
2018 McLaren P16
Want a supercar but don’t have seven figures to spend? Consider the 2018 McLaren P16, which starts at “only” $275,000. With 640 horsepower, this car will still get up and go. Powered by a 3.8L V-8 O to 60 time is expected to be around 2.8 seconds. McLaren has emerged as a favorite among enthusiasts, and the P16 could turn out to be quite popular.
2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast
Ferrari is all but synonymous with supercar. The 2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast is the fastest Ferrari ever produced. This car will get up to 60 in about 2.8 seconds and tops out at over 220 miles per hour. Of course, you’ll also get that legendary Ferrari styling. As the fastest Ferrari ever, expect it to be among the most expensive ever as well.
2019 Porsche 911
Porsche is expected to unveil some notable upgrades to its iconic 911 line for the 2019 model. The 2019 Porsche 911 is expected to hit the road in 2018. Is the standard 911 a true “supercar”? That’s debatable. However, the 911 sets the tone and the 2019 model is expected to be the platform for Porsche’s true supercars. As such, it’ll closely watched by many supercar enthusiasts. The 2019 911 is expected to have a wider wheelbase, digital dashboard, and other new features.
2019 Tesla Model S
Is the Tesla Model S sedan a true “supercar”? Can you exclude a car with a 2.5 second 0-60 time, widely lauded styling, and luxurious interior? Most supercars seat exactly two. The Tesla Model S can seat up to 5. A supercar for dropping off the family at school, why not? Come 2018 we may see long-range batteries making their way into the Model S. Rumors are, the Model S could soon have a 500 mile range. This could be a game changer.
2019 McLaren BP23
First, the 2019 McLaren BP23 is expected to be a -wait for it- a three seater. Not too often that we hear that. However, what’s most interesting about this supercar is the fact that it’s a hybrid. Many traditional supercar companies have been hesitant to leave behind their traditional combustion engines. The 2019 McLaren BP23 is expected to provide perhaps the best performance of any hybrid supercar to date.
2018 Mercedes AMG GT-R
Mercedes is more well-known for luxury than pure sports. However, the 2018 Mercedes AMG GT-R offers supercar performance and is, of course, packaged in Mercedes’ standard luxury. With a 0-60 time of “only” 3.5 seconds, this is one of the slower cars on this list. However, the car demonstrates how serious Mercedes is in competing in the supercar category, and also that the company won’t skimp on luxury. The AMG GT-R starts at $157,000.
2020 Tesla Roadster
Okay, the upcoming Tesla Roadster is unlikely to hit the road in 2018, at least for consumers. However, the dramatic leap forward that the new Roadster will represent is so huge that we can’t not mention it. Especially because we expect a lot of “first drive” reviews to hit the web in 2018. This car will likely be the fastest production car ever with a 0 to 60 comfortably below 2 seconds. It’ll also likely have the longest all-electric range for such an impressive machine at over 600 miles. This makes it too important not to follow.
