The word “supercar” is enough to make plenty of mouths drool—including mine. Ever since the 1966 Lamborghini Miura unofficially launched the segment, exotic cars have offered mind-melting power, handling, and style to those who can afford them (maybe someday I’ll join that list). The best part is that more supercars come along all the time as new and old automakers alike try to outdo each other. The last few years have seen the arrival of the McLaren Artura, Rimac Nevera, Maserati MC20, and other new exotic cars, redefining what’s possible with four tires and a power plant.
So, what can supercar fans like me look forward to in 2025? I just had to see what’s about to come out of the exotic car pipeline. As it turns out, there are so many possibilities I had trouble narrowing down the options. I did my best, and the result was this list of the coolest supercars confirmed or expected to be seen this year.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Chevy has been releasing ZR1 supercar variants of the iconic Corvette on and off since 1970, and the Corvette C8 gets its ZR1 close-up in 2025. I wrote about the latest Chevy Corvette ZR1 back in July 2024, and I’m just as stoked about it months later. Orders are already open on the 2025 Corvette ZR1, and the first deliveries are expected sometime this summer.
The ZR1 is where supercar meets sports car meets muscle car. The gearheads at Chevy have taken the LT6 5.5L V8 engine from the Corvette Z06 and added twin turbochargers plus other refreshes big enough to dub it the LT7. This means 1,064 hp and 828 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful Corvette in the history of ever. Originally estimated to have a top speed of 215 mph, the high-end estimate is now 233 mph with 2.3-second 0-60 time.
Available as a coupe or convertible, this performance-enhanced Corvette will have an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, ultra-sleek aerodynamics, and a flow-through hood plus side inlets to improve cooling. A special ZTK Track Performance Package includes stiffer springs, gripper Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, and an aero kit that includes a carbon fiber wing to give it more downforce than any other street-legal Corvette (the aero kit can be added separately, too). Throw in a few interior tweaks like a commemorative plaque, and you have a ZR1 worthy of the name.
Ferrari EV
As one of many long-standing performance automotive brands starting to shift to the battery-electric world—partly to meet increasingly tight emissions requirements and partly because of the technology’s potential performance advantages—Ferrari is preparing to unveil its first EV in the second half of 2025 and release the production version in late 2025 or early 2026. Although Ferrari has not yet offered any technical details (and it doesn’t yet have an official model name), CEO Benedetto Vigna told Autocar several months ago that several thousand miles of on-road testing had already been conducted with more expected to ensure the best possible vehicle.
What can supercar aficionados expect from a Ferrari EV? Some spy photos have been released that are believed to be the vehicle in question. Analysis determined the body was a modified version of the Maserati Levante, and the headlights were from a Ferrari Roma. Whether the production vehicle will look like this or the body was a red herring remains to be seen. The company has said the car will sound like a classic internal combustion engine Ferrari despite the EV status.
With a rumored price tag of $500,000 or more, this exotic car will cost a pretty penny. But Ferrari is known for offering the best of the best, and I expect nothing less from its first EV. Ferrari also gets honorable mentions for the coolest supercars of 2025 with its new F80 and 12 Cilindri, which show the Italian automaker isn’t close to being done with internal combustion engines.
Aston Martin Valhalla
This plug-in hybrid hypercar has encountered numerous delays—when the first photo was released in 2019 (known by its internal name of AM-RB 003), Aston Martin was targeting a release in late 2021. Finally, though, the Aston Martin Valhalla will hit production in mid-2025 and begin deliveries in late 2025. It’s been described as a more sane and less expensive version of the Valkyrie that came out in 2021. Of course, the Valhalla is expected to cost around $1 million, so I’m speaking in relative terms.
A quick look shows that the Valhalla is still a ridiculously impressive machine. Among the confirmed details, it will use a twin-turbo V8 engine from Aston Martin’s Formula One supplier, Mercedes-AMG. Combined with three electric motors, drivers are looking at 1,064 hp and a top speed of 217 mph. Interestingly, the engine will power the rear wheels while two of the electric motors will power the front wheels to make this an AWD ride (the third motor is integrated with the gearbox). It also has a carbon fiber core to reduce weight and active aerodynamics, with the front and rear wings adjusting on the fly for better balance and braking.
One final note: I won’t be surprised if the Valhalla ends up with NHTSA Show and Display status in the United States like the Valkyrie. This caps annual road use at 2,500 miles—which is still plenty to get the full experience.
Lamborghini Temerario
Six decades after pioneering the supercar, Lamborghini continues to be a major player. Its latest creation, the Temerario, was shown to the public on August 16, 2024, and will begin production sometime in 2025. As the replacement for the Lamborghini Huracán, the Temerario will be the automaker’s first vehicle with a turbocharged engine. It’s also the first V8 mid-engine Lamborghini in over 40 years.
But that’s only part of the story. Like the Valhalla, the Temerario is a plug-in hybrid that uses three electric motors—two on the front axle and one on the rear—for a total of 907 hp with road-gripping all-wheel drive and a smooth dual-clutch transverse transmission adapted from the Revuelto. The onboard charger can plug into a household outlet and fill the battery up in half an hour or less.
Lamborghini is also trumpeting this coupe as the ultimate in supercar comfort. It has more headroom and legroom than its predecessor and can fit a helmet-wearing pilot up to 6 feet 5 inches—perfect for tall people like me. The comfort commitment continues with a driver’s seat sporting heat, ventilation, and 18-way adjustments. When you add the preloaded performance data for 150 race tracks worldwide, there are plenty of reasons to love the Temerario despite the loss of cylinders compared to the Huracán.
What Else Is Coming?
Plenty of other supercars are in the works for 2025 and beyond. There’s the 1,800 hp Bugatti Tourbillon hybrid, which only missed this list due to its 2026 delivery date. The anticipated Chevy Corvette Zora hybrid also missed out simply because I couldn’t confirm when production will start. Porsche will begin production of the 718 Boxster and Cayman EVs in 2025, which could soon be followed by the Mission X concept car tabbed to succeed the 918 Spyder. Lexus has also teased an EV replacement for the LFA, while Nissan is showing off the Hyper Force concept, which could replace the GT-R. Speculation continues about when the Tesla Roadster 2.0 and DeLorean Alpha5 will finally see the light of day after numerous delays. Anyone who loves supercars—even if all they can do is look at or read about them—has some great times ahead. I can’t wait to see what the geniuses tasked with creating such bombastic vehicles think of next.
