10 Cool New Supercars That You’ll Never Own

It has been spied: the Aston Martin One-77. According to Road & Track, it is very close to production. With a price tag topping the $1 million mark, it's not likely one will be in your garage this coming year, although, as Ferris Bueller once said, "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. It is so choice." To me, the One-77's profile is dangerously similar to that of America's latest addition to the super-car world: the Corvette ZR1. Of course, aerodynamics are a sort of black magic, so people tend to go with the shape that works. Typically, that would be a simple wedge. You'll see what I mean in this list of 10 new or soon-to-be-new supercars that we'd love to get behind the wheel of but will surely never own.
10. Subaru WRX STI
For the drug dealer in all of us, the Subaru WRX STI is the car of choice. They're finally ditching the hatchback-only body style for the STI (which would give you shingles just by looking at it). Of course the flat-four engine is still under the hood with a turbo boosting it up to 305 all-wheel horsepower.
9. Mercedes-Benz SLS
Based on the 1954 300 SL Gullwing, the new SLS, while impressive, isn't the earth-shattering development that the 300 was. The original Gullwing was the first car to crack 150 m.p.h. Despite a 6.2L AMG V8, the SLS doesn't even crack the 200 m.p.h. mark, which is somewhat of a necessity when the price cracks the $250,000 mark.
8. Ferrari 599 GTO
If you ever see one of these out on the street, count your lucky stars. Only 599 of the Ferrari's road-going rendition of the 599XX will be made, and all of them have been sold to Ferrari loyalists. Expect a premium to be paid for this future classic.
7. Audi A7
Right now it's equipped with a 300HP turbodiesel; by the time this car goes on sale in the U.S., it will have enough engine to compete with the Porsche Panamera (this car's prospective rival).
6. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Yeah, it's been out for a little while. But, the fact remains that it's really the only American supercar that can confidently take on Ferraris twice its price (not just in a straight line). The Ford GT doesn't count. It was developed by Europeans — Lotus, actually.
5. Dodge Charger Cop Car
Goddamn it. It's hard enough keeping track of all the things cops are driving these days. Now they had to go and do something like this. If you see a cop in the old Crown Vic, run. He won't catch you. However, the new turbocharged V6 or 6.4L V8 that will be under the hood of this charger is another story. All ye who have less than 450HP, abandon all hope. Well, maybe he'll run out of gas before you. It'll get about 13 m.p.g. [photos by the guys who wrote their names all over the image.]
4. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
This thing is fast. Really fast. 267 m.p.h. fast. It is the undisputed champion of the world in all categories concerning speed. With the record, it beat out the SSC Ultimate Aero, America's straight-line speeder. What pisses me off about this thing is the fact that we're losing the speed arms race to a car made in France (albeit by Germans). Also, it's orange.
3. Wally Concept Car
Futuristic yacht design company Wally recently unveiled plans for a cutting edge, Jetsons-esque concept car. According to luxe lifestyle blog Born Rich,"The concept is designed to fit into the company’s image and appeal. The aim is to bring the essence of Wally onto the land and offer an exclusive user experience." The car's sleek interior uses carbon fiber teak, a material often used in Wally's yachts.
2. Aston Martin One-77
Aston's answer to the 599 GTO, its V12 packs a 750HP punch. Although I think the shape is kind of like the ZR1, it outclasses it in every way. I can't wait to see what numbers this thing puts up in the speed department.
1. Porsche 911 GT2 RS
Definitely the most dangerous thing ever created. Getting right down to brass tax, the 620HP engine is hanging over the rear axle. You'd have to be drunk and mad to make it also a rear wheel drive car. The RS hits 205 m.ph. and is only limited to that by the gearing. Thanks for the population control, Porsche. Of course you could just buy new legs if you're happy about paying the $245,000 price tag. Only 135 are coming to the US of A, all of which will explode immediately.
iv driven 4 of the cars in this list. 599 gtb (not the gto) zr1, drove a gt3 rs, and the sti.
the zr-1 and the charger don’t belong within 100 miles of this list.
how can you put the sti and charger and some random audi on a list of supercars this is retarded
who wrote this? fucking horrible list minus the gt2rs, 599, veyron, and one 77
Of course I’ll never own a cop car and I wouldn’t want to own an sti
GTR2rs does not belong at number one its good but not number one. What about the Koniesegg, the Saleen S7, The Shelby SuperSport, the Aston Martin Rapide, the guys a tard if he missed the lambo reventon.
take a lap skip
Or the STI for that matter. I could easily own 2 of the cars on this list with my sisters salary.
The A7 isn’t a rival of the Panamera, considering that Porsche is the majority shareholder in Volkswagen AG, parent company of Audi. They have wildly different price points. If you can’t afford an S4, you buy a Passat. In that sense, they’re rivals?
sick bro
bro-bi wan kenobi is completely right…the zr-1 is no super car.What’s so super about a V8 6.2 tvs supercharger. Sweet it only has 638 horsepower, talk to me when it gets 640. Then to top it off Top gear didn’t even give it super car of the year in 2009 it only won 2009 performance car of the year. Keep thinkin’ Bro that’s what you’re good at.
sick bro
FUCKIN SICK!!!!
I drove the Wally Concept Car.
how do you even put the corvette in with the likes of ferrari, aston martin and bugatti? it’s fast and stylish on the outside but the interior is like getting into a Chevy Cobalt. It’s a piece of trash and has been since the early 80’s.
i dunno about putting the charger or sti in there.. i own a ‘09 sti and id gladly trade it in for a real super car
lambo reventon, sexiest car on the planet
im a little confused as to why these cars are deemed unobtainable…id say at least half of them would be reasonably if not easily obtainable. also classifying the majority of these cars as supercars is incorrect many of them aren’t even exotic
worst car list ever. The cars aren’t bad, but are by no means unattainable and most of the list isn’t even comprised of supercars. audi a7? really a supercar. and besides STI owners are HUGE GDI douches.
ummm why isn’t the Lexus LFA on this list? Car is fucking sick and "super".
bro - from a bro that takes bus, train, boat, and hooptie; I have dreams to remember. Great pics of some beast mobiles.
Lexus LFA is a must on this list. and no Lambos? cmon now. and get the STI off this list. it costs roughly 30-35 K. far from unatainable.
how is the audi a7 on here and not the r8? it is a legitmate super car with a v8 or v10 and offers way more power than the a7 and it has the engine in the back where it belongs and super cars should not have 4 doors
I own an 09 STI and owned a 2.5 RS before that (the two door, it was somewhat rare. I miss it) I love my subi, but I have no clue why it is listed as unatainable, like many others have said. I’m definitely not rich, but I do sacrifice other things in order to pay for a decent car. Eh whatever. I wouldn’t call this list accurate to the title but it was interesting to look at… definitely not the top ten super cars though.
aw man, i drove my daddys beamer the other day. lets all just yell out cars we’ve driven before. you guys care right?
i would so fuck you if you were a chick
nice try skip. youre not tim just remember that/
Nice list Bro! No point in just bringing up the usual suspects..
Weak list.
Subaru STi? Supercar? haha nice.
A more honest list would include a Pagani Zonda, 458 Italia, and a McLaren MP4-12C.
i wasn’t talking just about price. the sti, especially a suped up version, fits in just fine in the drivable aspects of a supercar. in fact, its probably much better around a track than most of these cars. but the zr1 and the charger are american made pieces of shit that don’t belong anywhere close to any car list.
top gear also re-reviewed it and called it a poor handling plastic piece of shit. not to mention the cobalt interior, crazy overpricing, and classic chevy reliability issues.
This list = teh fail - why would you not ever own an STi???
i like blue cars <3
you forgot the Porsche 911 Sport Classic
only 250 Porsche 911 Sport Classics were made. Best looking Porsche 911 to date as well. Might want to add the Porsche 918 Spyder as well. Brobible should learn a thing or two about cars, there’s more to cars than civics and jeeps.
I like yellow cars. Often they will randomly drive you to the train station. Whaat..Everybody is a critic…or nuts.
I am the Wally Concept Car.
i like lamp

no doubt brochacho
no doubt brochacho
knowing a lot about cars (i.e. type of engine, 0-60 speed, quarter mile time?, and any MODS!??!) is fucking gay.. and extremely unbro.
Skip dude bro dude this sucked. The A7 wouldn’t compete with the Panamera since VW owns Audi and holds the majority amount of shares in Porsche. Also if any car was suppose to compete it would be the Audi A8 W12 Li because they are both more like limos. The Sti cannot be consider a super car because it only has 305hp end of story. Also if you ask an real car person what the ultimate American super car with most will pick the all balls no brains Dodge Viper.
Chayin N Slayin yourr a fucking fag. Being a bro you natarully want to be successful because making bank is so bro so you can spend money on toys like these. Your a clown that heard Chayin was cool and being a bro is cool, fucking poser.
Much like the Subaru no asian cars are sick and "super"
Much like the Subaru no asian cars are sick and "super"
Much like the Subaru no asian cars are sick and "super"
VW owns Audi and VW is the majority share holder in Porsche. Other then that I agree completely bro.
Nice to see that all people know about cars come from the opinions of 3 old british men.
Possible the most unbro thing to do is use American as a negative adjective. You unpatriotic douche.
(((((surprisefirms.com) This is a great online shopping site. Now introduced to you.
second. a subaru and a cop car in a "supercar" post? super weak post skip, super weak
Ok Anonymous, fucking idiot. When did I say making money is not bro? If you were out of high school you’d realize the point I was making; but you’re not. I didn’t say collecting toys like cars and yachts was not bro, dumb fuck. I said knowing every detail about a cars’ engine is gay, faggot. Keep talking shit to people under the anonymous title, you look cool.
knowing facts about cars is better than knowing what size cock can fit in your ass douchebag. cars are a man thing and men get pussy. looks like someone can’t get any.
Aston-Martin One-77 doesn’t look anything like the Corvette ZR1…
I own 7 of these cars. 8)
Have you ever driven a ZR-1? have you ever seen one? Do you know anything about it? Are you an idiot? These are all questions you should probably ask yourself before posting on this topic again.
