Instantly recognisable and still one of the most beautiful cars on the road, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage is an industry pin-up. It's been on sale since 2006, but it still looks great, and constant revisions and updates mean the V8 Vantage is still able to compete against rivals such as the Jag F-Type and Porsche 911.

The Audi R8 is a supercar from a dying breed. As makers add turbochargers to their cars to meet ever-stricter emissions targets, the naturally aspirated engine is falling out of favour, and in some ways the R8 is a fantastic last hurrah. From its deep growl at low revs through to the thrilling metallic howl as you close in on the 8,500rpm red line, it sounds every bit as exciting as you’d expect from a supercar. 

But what the R8 yields in flash, it makes up for in cohesive design. The angular body is one of the most futuristic shapes ever to roll off a production line. While some supercars can be confused as “some new Ferrari or Lamborghini,” the R8 is almost immediately recognized as an Audi. That’s because Audi’s latest models are all characterized by piercing LED headlights and taillights, ornate wheel designs, and angular bodies.

Welcome to the future; this is the new BMW i8, a hybrid electric two-door 2+2 sports car the likes of which the world hasn’t seen before. Despite the eco-conscious demeanour, the i8 develops 357bhp and 570Nm of torque and can sprint from 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds thanks to its sophisticated four-wheel-drive chassis and lightweight carbon-fibre construction. Those numbers put the BMW very much up against the Porsche 911 and Audi R8. Select your experience here

A race car in the original action figure line from Hasbro, Barricade was altered to become a police car in 2007's live action film Transformers from director Michael Bay. His alternate form of a Saleen-Modified Ford Mustang Police Cruiser, makes him similar in appearance to the Autobot Prowl.

Bumblebee is a fictional character from the Transformers franchise. In most incarnations, Bumblebee is a small, yellow (with black stripes) Autobot with most of his alternative vehicle modes inspired by several generations of the Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird muscle cars (with the live-action film versions being real Camaros: the original vehicle mode was based on a Volkswagen Beetle).

The 360M may have been the 'junior' car in Ferrari’s range when it was launched in 1999, but that doesn't hold it back from being one of the best cars in the modern era of the company. The 360 is easier and cheaper to service than previous mid-engined Ferraris, and it brought new levels of build quality and the widespread use of aluminium in the construction of the body and chassis.

The Gallardo was the first Lamborghini to be fully developed under Audi’s ownership and it shows in the superb build quality.  In Lamborghini’s 50 years of existence, it has built around 30,000 cars. Of these 30,000 cars, nearly half of them were Gallardos. Which, quite literally, speaks volumes about the importance of the ‘baby’ Lamborghini. In total, 14,022 Gallardos found homes across the globe. Find Junior Experiences here

Some cars only entertain when they break traction; the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 entertains the moment you turn the key. In fact, scrub that – the LP 560 entertains the moment you look at it. This is one of the automotive experiences of our times. Select your experience here

The fastest car down an unknown road. The R35 Nissan GT-R is Nissan’s finest hour. A four-seater two-door with a decent boot and four-wheel drive that’s mightily rear-biased. Bolt that to a suite of electronic cleverness that’ll boggle whatever’s left of your mind, and you’ve got a legend that reliably minces cars twice the price. A true supercar beater! Choose your experience here

The R35 Nissan GT-R 600bhp Gen 3 is Nissan’s finest hour. A four-seater two-door with a decent boot and four-wheel drive that’s mightily rear-biased. Bolt that to a suite of electronic cleverness that’ll boggle whatever’s left of your mind, and you’ve got a legend that reliably minces cars twice the price.

Many Skylines were used for the film, but only six actual Skylines were real - the others, we’re reliably informed, were all stunt cars fitted on VW Beetle chassis’ with plastic bodies. Of the six genuine Skylines used, three of them were sold as parts cars, two were destroyed and one was saved for potential sequels.

Probably the most iconic sports car ever made, the Porsche 911 has set class standards for handling and performance for years.  The rear-engined layout that made early 911s so tricky to handle has been retained, but it’s been refined over the generations so the car now has the stability to match its jaw-dropping performance.

The Porsche Boxster is a suprisingly quick mid-engine two-seater sports car. Boxster is a portmanteau of boxer, a reference to its flat or boxer engine. Select your experience Here

1993 Toyota Supra that starred in the original The Fast And The Furious from 2001.
