Hennessey Venom F5 -- 1600bhp (claimed), 290mph (promised )
Hennessey's back , and he's heading for 300mph. The Venom F5, successor to the car that hit 270mph and recognized Hennessey for a player in the top rate supercar game, is named after F5 category storms, which have a windspeed rating of up to 318mph. Can the Texan underdog really take it into the might of the VW Group, and Koenigsegg? 2017's show of the new Venom was the opening shot of round two. Put your bets...
McLaren Senna -- 789bhp, n/a miles
Are you accustomed to the appearances yet? Us neither. And the name? Hmm... perhaps we'd better focus on the specs, which is the point where the brutal-looking Senna earns its keep. McLaren's new Ultimate Series machine develops 789bhp from the 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8, without a hybrid in sight. McLaren hasn't revealed top speed figures yet, but since this is a craft constructed to warp around tracks, we're anticipating a headline v-max to be forfeited in the name of lap-time heroics.
Hennessey Exorcist -- 1,000bhp, n/a miles
Obviously, Texan horsepower fetishist John Hennessey couldn't allow Dodge like the spoils of war for extended without issuing his own unleaded-swilling riposte -- with a cheeky name to boot. The Exorcist is, as you can see, based on a Camaro ZL1 (or the more track focused 1LE, should you prefer), and, ahem, trumps the Dodge option by creating 1,000bhp. The top speed is so much unknown, but as the 0-60mph period is sub 3sec, we believe you'll agree it deserves a place among 2017's most unhinged performance cars.
Bugatti Chiron -- 1,479bhp, 261mph (claimed)
Though we had been first introduced into the new Bugatti Chiron in 2016, we weren't exposed to the complete power of its 1,479bhp quad-turbo W16 before this year. And if that occurred, any notions of the thing being only a reheated Veyron quickly vanished. As it's finally unleashed with its limiter, the entire world will be watching.
