Lexus isn’t a company to shy away from big engines and mad styling. Its astonishing LFA supercar (RIP headphone users) featured huge air vents, acute angles and, of course, that 4.8-litre weapons-grade V10 engine. Thanks to its extensive use of lightweight carbonfibre, a stiff body, endless power reserves (552bhp; 354lb ft) and a 203mph top speed, it was capable of lapping the Nurburgring in 07:13.92. For context, that’s only 17 seconds off the pace of a Porsche 918 Spyder.
