We as gearheads love supercars. We cannot get enough of them whatsoever. From the looks to the performance figures, to the speed, etc. supercars are elite. Every year, there are always a handful of new supercars being launched, and 2022 is no different.
From exotic Italian beauties to precise German record breakers, the supercar world has never been this exciting. So, what are the best supercars that will be launched in 2022? Let's find out.
10 Aston Martin V12 Vantage
We never thought that we'd see another V12 Vantage, especially in this day and age where everything is becoming all eco and companies are downsizing engines. The V12 Vantage is obviously powered by a V12, the same V12 found in the DB11 AMR and BS Superleggera models. It will have between 600 and 700hp and is connected to the 8-speed XF Automatic gearbox seen in other Aston Martin cars.
It is sad in a way that this will be the last of its kind. It's one last hurrah before everything goes electric. It will also probably be produced for a short amount of time before it has to end production due to environmental reasons.
9 Ferrari 296 GTB
Ferrari's first 6-cylinder car since 1974. Actually, according to any Ferrari purist, it is the first "proper" 6-cylinder Ferrari because previous Ferrari models with 6-cylinders were sold under the Dino badge. The 296 GTB packs a 3 liter twin-turbo V6 under the hood with 654hp. The car also includes an electric motor which provides 165hp. The overall output then is a crazy 818hp. That's hypercar figures!
The 296 GTB will hit 60 in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph. Luckily, it won't sound awful either, since the V6 has been dubbed by Ferrari test engineers as a "mini V12."
8 GMA T50
There is no other modern car like this. The T50 is essentially a McLaren F1 but in 2022, and it's built by the man who headed the F1 project, Gordon Murray. It packs a high-revving 4.0-liter Cosworth GMA V12 with 654hp and 334 lb-ft of torque. That may not sound like much for a car this expensive, but it weighs under a tonne.
It's an advanced car that utilizes fan technology to assist with aerodynamics. It's a very complex car that is somewhat hard to understand. However, with its central driving position and 6-speed manual gearbox, it sure is an old-school monster.
7 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be a monster. The GT4 RS Cayman that was launched a few weeks back is crazy, so just imagine what Porsche will do with the 911. The GT3 RS will include a huge swan-neck spoiler, a larger splitter, a louder exhaust, etc. Horsepower-wise, this car will probably have just over 500hp, a sensible guess would be 520hp. However, we would not be surprised if this thing has close to 600hp (judging by the new Cayman GT4 RS).
The previous 991.2 GT3 RS was one of the best Porsches ever made, so the standards are set high for the new 992 model. It has to be the best out there and set the benchmark for all track day cars.
6 Tesla Roadster
The Tesla Roadster is a car that carries a lot of hype. It's a crazy car that is expected to be launched next year for $250,000, and it's a bargain. How can we say $250,000 is a bargain? Well, if you want any other car with similar performance figures, you will have to spend millions.
The range is expected to be 620 miles, which for a car this fast is just incredible. Plus this car seats four too which is also a huge bonus. We are very excited about this car, and we cannot wait to see the finished product, hopefully sometime next year.
5 Pininfarina Battista
This is a ludicrous car in every single way. It has almost 2000 hp, and all of that is instant power. No lag, no waiting, nothing. Press the accelerator and the car takes off like a rocket. The Battista shares the same underpinnings as the Rimac Nevera, but we think the Battista is a heck of a lot more beautiful.
The Battista is set to start production in 2022. We cannot wait to see the first customer cars, however, due to the value of the car it is very unlikely that we will see one of these things on the road (unless it's Beverly Hills).
4 Aston Martin Vanquish
The Vanquish was replaced by the DBS Superleggera a few years back, but now it's making a return. However, it's not the sort of car you would have expected. It's now a mid-engined 6-cylinder supercar that will rival the likes of the McLaren Artura or Ferrari 296 GTB.
The concept for this new car was launched back in 2019. Those sexy curves, aerodynamics, etc. make this supercar look like a hypercar. It's a whole new design language for Aston Martin.
3 McLaren Artura
The McLaren Artura was unveiled this year and deliveries will commence next year. A spider model is believed to come out in 2022, though that is not confirmed as yet. The Artura is the first 6-cylinder McLaren production car ever made. It will also be the brand's second hybrid after the P1.
The Artura replaces the 570s. It pretty much looks the same, but underneath it is a very different car. Power-wise, it has 671hp, which is insane, seeing as that's over 100 more horses than the 570s.
2 Maserati Gran Turismo
The Gran Turismo is a very sexy car, and we are very happy to hear that Maserati is finally creating a new generation of it. The current generation has been around since 2007, and though it sounds good, it sure does feel old in every single area. The new Granturismo will look more so like an updated version of the current Gran Turismo model.
The V6 used in the MC20 could be used in the Gran Turismo, just in de-tuned form. There probably will also be electric models available. We would be very surprised if Maserati fit their V8 into this car since nowadays, every car brand is obsessed with downsizing their engines to meet strict emissions requirements.
1 Lotus Evija
A car that you'd never expect Lotus to make. It's completely wild in every single way and packed full of technology. Power output is at 1970hp, which is just ludicrous. That's 969hp more than a Bugatti Veyron. Production has already started, but customer deliveries will commence in 2022.
It's the first-ever fully-electric Lotus. The aerodynamics are crazy too with a large diffuser, sleek body vents, etc. It hits 60 under 3 seconds, and the top speed will be well over 200 mph.
