Top Car Of The World

Mercedes-AMG Project One -- 1,000bhp , 217mph

No-one out AMG has driven the Mercedes F1 car for the street known so far only as Project One, but its stats are appropriately barmy to create the cut in this list. Revealed in time for the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, the supreme AMG promises to launch in 0-124mph in under six seconds, which means that thanks to its AWD hybrid traction, it'll eliminate the line as quick as a real F1 car. While, hopefully, making a much meaner noise...

Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid -- 670bhp, 192mph

After we drove the 550bhp Panamera Turbo S, nothing regarding its batty functionality made us feel to be an 'S' version was necessary. But Porsche is, it seems, even sillier than the likes of us. So it added power to the Panamera, using lessons it learned in the development of this 918 Spyder hypercar. How you might ever need this much car on your own life is beyond us, but if you're late for a Greenpeace conference, or fearful of flying, this can be a massive continent crusher that can't run out of cost.

McLaren 720S -- 710bhp, 211mph

The McLaren 720S has attracted hypercar functionality to the supercar realm. It's vividly fast, and about the street, you'd struggle to see a difference in impulse between it and the P1. However, besides being a land-borne missile, it's also really engaging to drive at reduced speed and incredibly friendly and pragmatic, which is even more of an achievement than its spectacular performance. It's TG's supercar of this year.

Ford GT -- 646bhp, 220mph

The Ford GT was first revealed to stunned onlookers at the Detroit motor show way back at the beginning of 2015. It took until 2017 for anybody to get behind the wheel on the street. By that point, the race version had already taken a class victory at Le Mans. The street car shouldn't operate. Race cars that end up on your way rarely do. But the GT handles to ride properly, manage skilfully and live up to its newer-than-space-age looks. A landmark automobile.

Lamborghini Urus -- 641bhp, 190mph

2017: the entire year that Lamborghini got back into SUVs. But so as to reveal the speed of advancement, the new Urus has four fewer cylinders than the old LM002, nevertheless it grows nearly twice the power, thanks to some 641bhp version of the VW Group's bi-turbo 4.0-litre V8. As we'll see later on in this list, the Urus is therefore the fastest of this super-SUVs, but not the most effective, by a very long way...

Dodge Demon -- 840bhp, 168mph

The first road-certified factory automobile to be formally effective at wheelies (or wheelstands, we suppose) is your Dodge Hellcat's more evil, quarter-mile-munching twin. It's a drag-race monster with an 840bhp supercharged V8 heart, and though that sub-170mph top rate is the lowest in this record, the Demon's ability to launch from 0-60mph at a verifiable 2.3 seconds is as remarkable as it's barmy. A worthy addition to the annals of muscle car legend.
