Jeremy Clarkson called this the meanest, butchest, handsomest, rumblingest powerhouse of a car and then promptly raced it against a Lamborghini Diablo and won. It has 200hp more than a contemporary Porsche Turbo, a huge trunk, and an interior trimmed with the hides of 10 cows.

This is the Aston Martin Vantage V550 and it is a twin-supercharged monster: perfect for those for whom too much is not enough. The only car you could buy at the time with more power was a McLaren F1 but they couldn’t be any more different. The F1 is all cleverness and high technology, and this thing? It’s brute force and an unshakeable sensation that it’s actually from the 1960s and not the 1990s.
