Move over Venom F5 and Chiron, Koenigsegg’s new Jesko (named after Christian von Koenigsegg’s father) is a 1,578bhp twin-turbo hypercar shooting for 300mph. Given the speedy Swedes are the current production record-holder having averaged 277mph on the road in Nevada in an Agera RS, we don’t doubt them.

Bugatti La Voiture Noire

Pininfarina Battista

Thought EVs were boring? Well, the most powerful road-legal car to ever come out of Italy is electric. And it’s not a Ferrari. Or a Lamborghini. Or a Pagani. See, thanks to a 120 kWh lithium ion battery pack, the Pininfarina Battista produces approximately 1,900bhp. Which is a lot.

Aston Martin Vanquish Vision concept

The Aston Martin Vanquish is back! This time as a svelte, lightweight concept supercar designed to give Ferrari and McLaren something to think about. Welcome to Aston Martin’s first mid-engined production supercar with a – deep breath – V6. A version of the same V6 used in the other, limited-edition mid-engined AM-RB 003. Which you can read about next.

Aston Martin Lagonda All-Terrain

Not content with unveiling two cars, Aston also pulled its latest luxo Lagonda concept out of the hat. It takes cues from last year’s Lagonda Vision Concept but hikes them up, and its unusually prosaic name suggests it’s not ashamed of possessing some off-road intent. While most will snake slowly through affluent quarters of capital cities, Lagonda is adamant the All-Terrain can do more.
