Best Cars Of 2013 – The Greatest Cars In The World This Year
What an incredible year for supercars and performance cars, maybe one of the best ever. 2013 has easily been one of the best years for new supercar debuts, although we now have a new “hypercar” name for the top end cars. Since when was “supercar” not enough of a word to describe these cars? Take a look at the Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 trifecta of flagship models and it becomes clear that these cars are special and deserve their own designation. The numbers and technology are just so far beyond every other car built today (or ever before) that the hypercar label seems appropriate.
One notable car that didn’t make our list is the Lamborghini Veneno which generated the most excitement on the streets and it is probably the most fitting car to cap off Lamborghini’s 50th. Speaking of Lamborghini, how about that insane Egoista concept, those guys are truly nuts and we love them for it. Frankly, there are so many more amazing cars this year that we are calling it as the year of the supercar here and are going to let you just work down the list.
