SSC Ultimate Aero TT, world's fastest production car with a top speed of 256.15 mph (412.23 km/h).Supercar is a term generally used for a high-end sports car, whose performance is highly superior to that of its contemporaries. It has been defined specifically as "a very expensive, fast or powerful car with a centrally located engine"[1], and stated in more general terms: "it must be very fast, with sporting handling to match," "it should be sleek and eye-catching" and its price should be "one in a rarified atmosphere of its own."[2] but the proper application of the term is subjective and disputed, especially among enthusiasts. The use of the term can be dependent on the era; a vehicle that may have been considered a supercar in one decade may not be considered the same in another decade.[citation needed] The term supercar may refer to factory-built, street-legal sports cars. Some vehicle referred to as supercars include many of the features required for race cars such as roll cages.

Hamann Porsche 911 Turbo Stallion
A thoroughbred stallion with 630 horse powers: The HAMANN STALLION based on the Porsche 911 Turbo
Like an Arabian stallion collecting its attention for a jump. Concentrated and full of dynamic body tension. This is how the silhouette of the super sports car called STALLION presents itself. But the latest development of the premium refiner HAMANN MOTORSPORT offers far more than a fascinating new aerodynamics concept. The efficiency boost to 630 hp and the HAMANN-sport chassis turn the STALLION into one of the most powerful and fastest sports car in the whole world.Less roof – more wingsThe most striking eye-catcher of the individualised Porsche is the lowered roofline. For this elaborate reconstruction, HAMANN reduces the windows and pillars up to 8 centimetres. Thereby, the reduced front surface diminishes the air resistance and therefore the fuel consumption. Moreover, this relieves the motor drastically while pushing for maximum speed. But that´s not all: HAMANN equips the STALLION with gull-wing doors allowing the door to swing diagonally outward from the body of the car. This proprietary development does not only have an extravagant design, but also an exceptional stability. The combination between the HAMANN front- and rear skirt with the altered heck spoiler profile and the roof spoiler produce additional road grip. Side spoilers between the axles put a finishing tough to the overall appearance.
Sensational performance based on well-engineered technologyThe core of the STALLION is its modified engine. The HAMANN motor technicians enhance the 3.6 litres Boxer Biturbo motor from standard 480 hp / 353 kW to 630 hp / 463 kW at 6,300 rpm. The upgrade also includes two larger VNT (variable nozzle turbochargers), a sport air strainer, a stainless steel exhaust system with metal catalytic converters and a new motor management.
These are measures which certainly hit their target. The HAMANN STALLION accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and is therefore six tenth of a second faster than its serial counterpart. The new maximum speed tag is sensational. With its efficiency boost and the reduced air resistance by HAMANN-Aerodynamics, the STALLION achieves a maximum speed of 359 km/h (223 mph) nd chassis – the combination for best roadholding and exclusive appearance HAMANN developed a sport chassis and a matching wheel-/tyre-combination for the optimal handling of the increased requirements of the STALLION. The three-part HAMANN aluminium wheel named EDITION RACE with its black lacquered star and the titan bolting of the high gloss polished rim flange clearly emphasise the affinity of the Laupheim-based refiner to motor sports.
Due to its forge technology production, it is very light and therefore significantly improves the handling- and driving qualities. The wheel-tyre combination is available in 8,5Jx20 inches with tyres measuring 245/30ZR20 in front and 12,0Jx20 rims with 325/25ZR20 tyres at the back. HAMANN recommends top-level tyres type S1 EVO by its technology partner HANKOOK. Lowering the vehicle centre by 20 mm with HAMANN sport coils also significantly improves the handling.
Perfect combination between motor sports and lifestyleOnly the most precious materials can be found in the STALLION interior. The
HAMANN upholsterers only use selected leather for covering the fittings and sport seats. Aluminium gear shift and aluminium pedals make the cockpit gleam in a noble look and perfectly match with the carbon parts of the interior set. Precisely applied embroideries of the HAMANN logo in the floor mats and headrests set further creative accents. All of these features complement one another in a stylish symbioses of motor sports flair and lifestyle.

Pagani’s latest version of the Zonda, named the Cinque, is a street legal version of the race-only Zonda R and it will price at $1,240,000. Power comes from the same 7.3-liter V12, although it has been detuned to 678 horsepower, down from Zonda R’s 750. The Cinque will also feature a full carbon fiber body, massive Brembo brakes, a six-speed sequential gearbox, and Pirelli PZero tires. Production will be limited to a mere five units, all of which have been spoken for. It is capable of accelerating from 0-62 mph in 3.4 secs and reaching a top speed of over 217. Value for this car will likely double in 10 years because only a few will be made. 
(from Pagani Press Release) The Pagani is not just a supercar manufacturer but rather a place where artistic objects take form following the renowned car tradition of Modena and the Renaissance concepts of art and science combined together by Leonardo Da Vinci over 500 years ago. In Pagani the carbon fiber is the specific know how and a perfect combination of technology and beauty. No compromises are accepted in the use of innovative materials, always the state of art, to express the passion and skill of who designed and built them.
Back in 1999, launch year of the first Zonda, the Pagani has been focusing its strategies on the research of light weight. The chassis, completely made of composite and other light and innovative materials, contained the weight to 1250 kilos, when all the other cars of the same segment would weight from 30 to 50% more. Despite of the light weight, the Zonda offered excellent comfort and safety standards. By chance, the
impact on environment, as for example the fuel consumption, proved to be considerably lower than the traditional supercars and coupes of the same range, with weight from 1.800 kilos to 2.200 kilos.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the M1, BMW has created the M1 Homage. The design was revealed at the 2008 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este held in Cernobbio, Italy. Produced from 1978 to 1981, the M1 was BMW’s first and only mid-engined street car. A total of 456 M1s were built when BMW took over the Italian firm when it undergoes financial problems. 
Specifications and pricing will be revealed by the end of the year.
With the new 2008 Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini once again sets a very high standard for super sports cars. The heart of the Gallardo LP560-4 is the new 5.2 liter V10 engine with an output of 560 PS (412 kW) at 8000 rpm. The increase of 40 PS compared with that of the previous Gallardo, and the approximate 20 kilogram reduction in weight, improves the power weight ratio to 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and thus enhances performance. The LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, its speed at 11.8 seconds is 200 km/h and its top speed is 325 km/h.The Gallardo has improved traction, controlling and stability at high speeds. The redesigned four-wheel drive transmission, the new suspension and the optimized aerodynamics as well as the reduced weight
and decreased friction between the components, all contribute to the overall improvements in the vehicle. The car is also surprisingly suited to long-distance driving and despite its extreme performance capabilities is very easy to control while maintaining maximum stability.The newly designed front of the LP 560-4 squats deeply to the ground which adds to its aerodynamic efficiency. The larger and clearly improved cooling intakes meet the demands of augmented engine power thus increasing the air circulation vital to a vehicle as powerful as this. The spoiler, positioned low between the air intakes, improves aerodynamic equilibrium at high speeds. The rear lights, air cooling vents, bumper and diffuser are arranged in precise positions on the car’s exterior, which make the LP560-4 appear extremely wide and bonded to
the road surface. In addition, the streamlined covers left and right of the engine hood accentuate the powerful shoulders and lengthened, stretched lines of the new Gallardo.
