A supercar is a very expensive and fast sports car. Supercars are marketed by automakers as unusual and include limited production specials from an “elite” automaker, standard-looking cars modified for power and performance, as well as models that appeal to enthusiasts from smaller manufacturers. ”Supercar” is also a label custom car retrofitters reserve for their showcase, one-of-a-kind project vehicles; typically these are very extensively modified collectible muscle cars, sports cars or grand touring automobiles updated to the very latest “streetable” racing technology.

7. Koenigsegg Hundra
Produced 2013
Engine Size 5.0 L V8 twin-turbo charged
Transmission 7-speed-Dual Clutch
Tag
Swedish extreme supercar maker Koenigsegg is celebrating its hundredth production vehicle at Geneva 2013, and instead of buying a cake it’s built a very special example of the 1,030hp Agera R called the Hundra. Finished in bare carbon fibre with pure gold inlays, it is by far the least subtle version of this already unsubtle car that we’ve ever seen.
It’s a shame that it’s so garish, really, as we’ve always had a soft spot for this beautifully engineered dream machine With the DOHC 32-valve V-8 5 liters with twin turbochargers and dry-sump lubrication, the Hundra powered up to 1030 hp. The electronic systems for the car are a real step forward for all vehicles by using a fire-proof, lightweight lithium-iron (not lithium-ion) battery and solid-state digital semiconductors for everything that would be fuse or relay-operated in a normal car thereby ensuring safety. Very well known for its acceleration and speed, it can sprint to 60mph in 2.8 seconds and can reach the 273mph speed mark. The Agera S Hundra is a masterpiece that few will ever really experience.
Produced 2013
Engine Size 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12 engine
Transmission 7-speed Sequential Transmission
Tag $1,070,500
Still no sign of a Huayra roadster, but even after a couple of years, the Huayra remains a difficult car to ignore – no matter what kind of concept car exotica surrounds it, as is inevitably the case at Geneva. Not only is it completely unique in appearance, Pagani’s attention to detail is a legend in its own time.
It is powered by twin-turbocharged and intercooled SOHC 36-valve V-12 under its hood. Collaborating with Sonos Faber, Pagani introduced the custom Huayra sound system .That’s a lot of audio power to complement a car that already boasts of a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12 engine that produces 700 horsepower and 730 pound-feet of tire smoking torque Priced at $1,070,500, the Huayra is quite tempting with its top speed of 224 mph and can sprint to 60 mph in 3 seconds and 100mph in 6.4 seconds. The Pagani’s seven-speed sequential transmission, nestled transversely behind the differential to allow the engine to be mounted closer to the rear wheels, is of the older-school single-clutch variety.
9. Touring Superleggera Disco Volante
Produced 2013
Engine Size V8 4.7-liter engine
Transmission 6-speed Transmission

The new Superleggera is based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione with a V8 4.7-liter engine developing 450 HP and 480 Nm of torque.

We’ve seen the Touring Superleggera Disco Volante before – but only as a concept. Here it debuts in full ‘production’ form, though given each takes 4,000 hours’ work; it isn’t production in the most modern sense. Handcrafted from a mix of aluminium and carbon fibre, this is 21st century coach building in action.
10. Exagon Furtive eGT

Transmission 3-speed Transmission

Its impressive output and great autonomy makes it a competitor for other electric sports cars.
There’s a considerable number of tuner torpedo’s and unusual supercars we could have picked for this last entry – hell, we even considered including the Alfa Romeo 4C, which brings carbon fibre chassis tech to the mainstream for an unprecedentedly low €60,000 asking price; it’ll be around £50k in the UK.
