BUGATTI VEYRON

A supercar like no other, the Bugatti

Veyron absolutely

defined the supercar

market for the past decade, serving as

the measuring stick for

the entire segment.

And that's exactly

what it was designed

to do.

Like the Veyron before it, the Bugatti Chiron is expected to hit the market with potential to blow the world speed record away. Its spec sheet may very well include a 288 mph (463.5

km/h) top speed, along with a 0-62 mph time in the low 2s.

HENNESSEY

That's pushing 20 mph (32 km/h) over the current unofficial world

speed record, which Hennessey notched at 270.49 mph (435.31

km/h) in February 2014, after an ultimately unsuccessful attempt at

beating Bugatti by sneaking through the back door.

LOTUS SUPERCAR

The new super-supedlittle Lotus from Texas isn't only more powerful than its predecessor; it's also more aerodynamic, with drag coefficient dropping from 0.44 to below 0.40.

0 to 200 mph

The "290 mph is within reach" scrawled atop Hennessey's Venom F5 press release sets up a rather nice potential head-to-head with the 288-mph Chiron. The Venom F5 is supposed to make its official debut this year.

TUATARA

Back in 2011, American supercar outfit SSC introduced the Tuatara, an otherworldly 1,350-bhp successor to the Ultimate Aero TT, the 1,183-hp SSC car that held a 256-mph speed record before Bugatti took it away in 2010.

LaFerrari Exotic Hybrid

Looking back, 2013 was a HUGE year for the hyper hybrid. Both the LaFerrari and McLaren P1 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show that year, and the production Porsche 918 Spyder debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Gas vs Electric Supercars

Each of those hybrid exotics features a unique gas-electric

layout, but they all utilize electric power toward delivering some

of the world's most powerful, quick performance on

straightaways and curves.

At 887-hp, the Porsche 918 Spyder is the least powerful of the Big

3, but so far, it's been the most impressive on the asphalt.

All three modern hyper hybrids enjoy seats up at the tippity top of

world's quickest production cars, and two of them do it while

improving the abysmal, world-worst fuel economy ratings that

hypercars are notorious for.

The supercar is about to get much larger and more practical.

Saying it a different way, the crossover is about to get much more

super. After watching Porsche and other premium brands ride

best-selling SUV models to the bank year after year, a number of

prestigious sports nameplates are prepared to get in on the

action.

Onwards and Upwards

It's September, so we're approaching the home stretch of 2015,

but that doesn't mean we can't expect at least a few more

amazing production and concept supercar debuts. With earlier

debuts like the Regera, DBX, 1MW Concept and Ford GT, 2015 has

the potential to rival 2013 in terms of high-tech, cutting-edge

exotic cars.
