Quirky cars for the summer

Date:

If the bill doesn’t matter, and the gasoline even less, the choice between one of the current supercars will depend only on the heart

Summer and heat invite you to travel and enjoy those quirks that we deprive ourselves of for the rest of the year. And nothing better than one of the most sought-after supercars of the moment for a hyper-vitamin holiday. That Yes, to roll with race cars like the Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica, the Aston Martin Volante Roadster, the Maserati MC20 Cielo or the Ferrari 296 GTB we don’t care about the bill or the price of gasoline.

To be
wild vehicles, able to take the driver to a dimension beyond the usual for mere mortals. Although such an exclusive car in addition to good skills – the
electronics, very advanced in recent years, it already helps a lot- and a lot of head, as many of them
over 600 horsepower. There are other, more affordable but equally excellent options, with 300 hp and 74,800 euros, such as the Alpine A110 S. And for those who want a real collector’s gem, Bugatti has the Chiron Super Sport: 1,600 hp and 3.2 million euros. A complete range is that from the Sant’Agata firm, where you can choose from a two-seater supercar with track and road style, such as the new Huracán Tecnica; or the Urus super SUV.

Given the latter, the Urus has become the best-selling model in the shortest time since its arrival on the market. Since its launch in 2018, 20,000 units have been produced and sales records are set every year.

Not for less, because this model offers everything today’s consumer desires: personality, robustness and safety. All coupled with a number of other exclusive points, such as the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine that delivers 650 hp and 850 Nm of torque. It should be noted that at 162.7 hp/litre, it has one of the highest specific powers in its class, as well as the best weight-to-power ratio of 3.38 kg/CV.

For purists looking for a sports car with soul, there is the Huracán Tecnica, which, just like its name, will destroy this ‘hurricane’ the heart of its owner. The Tecnica takes the power of the Huracán STO’s engine and track to offer a rear-wheel drive, rear-steering car with a 30 horsepower increase; improved aerodynamics; 35% more rear downforce and 20% less drag compared to the rear-wheel drive Huracán EVO. In other words, it offers the same 640 horsepower as its stable mate and produces 565 Nm of torque for stimulating and comfortable everyday driving.

At this level of features and exclusivity, there are also models such as the McLaren Artura, the Aston Martin Volante Roadster and the Maserati MC20 Cielo. The McLaren Artura, with a new carbon fiber chassis, which hides a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 100% electric range of around 30 kilometres, is a welcome option on the road to electrification.

Summer is also sought after to travel to the open air. That’s why options like the MC20 Cielo are so attractive. The retractable roof of this model slides into the rear housing in just 12 seconds and can be operated at speeds of up to 50 km/h. When open, it boasts a cabin that combines the best Italian craftsmanship with the very latest technology.

At a higher level is the Ferrari 269 GTB, the most recent evolution of the Italian company’s two-seat sports berlinetta concept with a mid-rear engine. Also with a focus on the zero-emission era, this model is equipped with an 830 hp plug-in hybrid system that guarantees an immediate response from the pedal and 25 km of autonomy. And it even has its open-top version, the GTS, with the same propulsion features but with a new spider architecture, opening a new chapter in the brand’s history.

The Huracán Tecnica carries the 5.2-litre engine that delivers 640 hp and 565 Nm of torque for a stimulating and comfortable everyday driving, for 233,000 euros.

McLaren Artura is a beastly plug-in hybrid, starting at $235,000, which debuts with the company’s new 677 horsepower V6 engine and connected tires.

Alpine A110 S is at the top of the range and, with a price of 74,800 euros, emphasizes efficiency. Thanks to the ‘Sport’ chassis, it benefits from the full potential of its 300 hp engine.

Lamborghini Urus is an SUV that hides a V8 biturbo – the first time a Lamborghini has used this technology – that produces 650 horsepower, which can be as docile as the driver wants. With a price of 252.677 euros, it is a bestseller.

Ferrari 296 GTB is a two-seater with a central rear engine, with an estimated price (including taxes) of 300,000 euros. It introduces a new Ferrari hybrid V6 architecture that can deliver up to 830 horsepower.

Aston Martin Volante Roadster is a convertible powered by the manufacturer’s 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine that delivers 510 horsepower for $199,000.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport are already big words: 1,600 CV and 3.2 million euros -before taxes-. Only 60 copies of this super-exclusive model will be produced, which pays tribute to the Bugatti EB110 by retouching the diffuser, air outlets and rear wings.

Maserati MC20 Cielo is equipped with the V6 Nettuno engine that produces 630 hp, a figure that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 in less than 3 seconds and reach 320 km/h.
