What is it about supercars that makes us weak in the knees? Surely, the elegant body lines have something to do with it, as does the breathtaking exhaust note. Perhaps on some level, even the fact that the doors open in a bizzare way is enough to stop us in our tracks. But the real reason car enthusiasts are enthralled by these vehicular works of art has to be the performance index. Don’t you wish you can see this on our roads?

We bet you’d wish a supecar is in one of your Christmas stockings this year. Referred to as “the most expensive car in Singapore,” as well as the fastest, this fetches for more than $5 million. The Swedish automaker has assembled 100 examples of its Agera supercar, with the latest Agera S featuring a 1,030 horsepower V8 engine wrapped in a full carbon fiber body. It shoots from zero to 60 in 3.0 seconds and offers a top speed of 240-plus mph.

McLaren is reported to be developing a system that can repel material from a windshield by creating a force field using high-frequency sound waves. Benefits of the system are said to be improved visibility, since debris would be repelled instantly, as well as improved aerodynamic efficiency, due to less drag. Unfortunately, there’s no word on when we might see the system fitted to one of McLaren’s cars.

Even in London, where supercars love to be seen, the Ferrari LaFerrari is not a car you’re going to see every day. Each of the 499 scheduled for production have already found a home, and if The Supercar Kids are to be believed the first UK model is heading to football player Samuel Eto’o. The ultimate Prancing Horse would make a fantastic addition to an already astonishing collection that includes an Aston Martin One-77, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari 599 Stallone by Mansory and Aston Martin V12 Zagato. The footballer also has a Koenigsegg on order.
