Top 12 Most Unique Supercars in the World Today

First unveiled at the Monterey Car Week (USA), the concept Silver Arrow pays tribute to Mercedes-Benz’s iconic W125 from 1937, which achieved an incredible average speed of 432.7 km/h between Frankfurt and Darmstadt—a record that stood unbeaten until the Koenigsegg Agera RS claimed the title last November. While the original model featured a 12-cylinder engine, the EQ Silver Arrow embraces a fully electric setup, delivering an impressive 740 horsepower. Its 80 kWh battery allows the Silver Arrow to travel 400 km non-stop under the latest WLTP standards adopted by Europe.

Mercedes EQ Concept features a single seat and a striking exterior of cold silver, contrasting with the warm gold tones inside the cabin. Key exterior elements include oversized 168-spoke rose gold alloy wheels, a carbon fiber front splitter, and exclusive Pirelli tires. Inside, the cabin boasts brown leather seating, walnut flooring, polished aluminum trims, a panoramic main display, and a touchscreen integrated into the steering wheel—features not seen in any other Mercedes models.

Audi has revealed the groundbreaking PB18 E-Tron concept, featuring the latest innovations such as wireless charging and virtual reality technology, powered by three electric motors generating 671 horsepower. The PB18 E-Tron showcases a unique design, blending elements of a race car with a hatchback layout. Interestingly, the supercar is nicknamed ''Level Zero'' by Audi engineers, as it lacks the self-driving capabilities typically found in future-oriented vehicles, despite its array of cutting-edge technologies.

Inside the cabin, the PB18 E-Tron draws inspiration from motorcycle design. When driving solo, the seat and entire driving system shift to the center, offering the driver a panoramic view. Additionally, the front windshield integrates with a virtual reality system that displays road conditions ahead. When a passenger joins, the driver’s seat moves back to accommodate the second seat. Thanks to its hatchback-style cabin, the PB18 E-Tron features this innovative seating structure. The vehicle's control system is simplified with touch-sensitive buttons, replacing traditional mechanical switches, placed conveniently around the driver.

Despite being a supercar, the interior of the PB18 E-Tron is spacious and comfortable, addressing the usual cramped nature of typical supercars. This also allows for a more generous trunk space of 470 liters, just slightly less than the 492 liters of a Volkswagen Golf. For its powertrain, Audi equips the PB18 E-Tron with three electric motors—one motor for the front axle delivering 201 horsepower, and two motors for the rear axle generating a combined 604 horsepower. The car is powered by a 95 kWh solid-state battery, providing a continuous range of up to 500 km on a full charge. The battery can be fully recharged in just 15 minutes thanks to the 800-volt fast-charging system.

The 103EX Concept represents Rolls Royce's vision for the future of self-driving luxury cars for the ultra-wealthy. This concept model features the virtual assistant and driver, Eleanor, who is integrated into every aspect of the car to ensure the safe transportation of passengers. Inside, the cabin, referred to as the Grand Sanctuary, is adorned with luxurious Southeast Asian Macassar ebony wood and silk, designed with minimalism to create an elegant and serene atmosphere, allowing passengers to relax and enjoy their journey.

The cabin’s glass can rise high enough for passengers to stand, offering shelter when a red light is projected onto the carpet. Rolls Royce calls this feature Grand Arrival. The car's four wheels are almost entirely covered, resembling four fixed pillars rather than traditional rolling wheels. The Rolls-Royce 103EX was unveiled in 2016 in London, presenting the brand's futuristic vision for the next 100 years in the automotive world. Its signature grille and distinctive C-shaped LED headlights remain true to the brand’s identity. The fully electric car operates autonomously and is controlled by artificial intelligence (AI).

The Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 2021 is a supercar designed and built by Gordon Murray, the mastermind behind the iconic McLaren F1. A lightweight, aerodynamic vehicle powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine, the T.50 is designed to carry the spirit of the F1 forward, focusing on driving experience rather than extreme performance. While similar to the McLaren F1, the T.50 has improved upon every aspect using modern materials and cutting-edge technology. It has been described as "the most driver-focused supercar ever made."

Like the McLaren F1, the T.50 lacks large splitters, excessive small wings, and a huge rear spoiler. Its exterior is streamlined and clean. The front end of the T.50 draws inspiration from older supercars, with large headlights integrated into the front fenders, and the small bonnet shaped similarly to the F1’s. The windscreen flows into the front deck in a way reminiscent of the F1, largely due to the shared three-seat interior layout, with the steering wheel positioned centrally. The nose of the T.50 is incredibly simple by 2020 standards, featuring rectangular vents on either side but no splitters or small wings.

The design of the T.50 is minimalist yet strikingly beautiful. It features upward-opening dihedral doors that point forward and a distinctive line that disappears into the rear fender, only to reappear on the back. The car's aerodynamic features are subtly integrated, with curved side edges and vertical fins on the bodywork in front of the rear wheel arches. The cabin is a standard, fully enclosed design found in modern supercars, with smaller side windows integrated into the doors, similar to the McLaren F1. The roof gently rises and transitions into a “spine” that extends across the engine cover, echoing design elements from 1990s supercars.

The DMC DeLorean is a two-seat sports car that was produced and marketed by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) for the American market between 1981 and 1983. It remains the only vehicle released by the fledgling company. Sometimes referred to by its pre-production internal model code, DMC-12, the name DMC-12 was never used in the official marketing or sales materials for the production model.

Notably designed with polished stainless steel body panels, the DMC DeLorean became famous for its distinctive appearance, though it was often criticized for lacking the performance and power that one might expect given its futuristic look and price tag. Although its production run was short-lived, the DeLorean gained widespread fame after being featured as the time machine in the iconic *Back to the Future* films. The car's interior features medium-brown leather seats, but they are flat and do not provide the level of comfort or support seen in production models. The black steering wheel has a thick center designed to house the airbag, and the dashboard is outfitted with Stewart-Warner gauges.

The DeLorean has earned a reputation as one of the most visually unique cars on the market. Its exterior design was created by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. Another standout feature of the DeLorean is its gullwing doors, which are supported by pre-tensioned torsion bars and nitrogen-charged struts developed by the American aerospace company, Grumman Aerospace.

The Lancia Stratos Zero, or Lancia Stratos HF Zero, is a grand tourer sports car created by Italian automakers Bertone and Lancia, first unveiled at the 1970 Turin Motor Show. This concept vehicle was developed by renowned Italian designers Nuccio Bertone (heir to the Bertone company, founded by his father Giovanni Bertone in 1912) and Marcello Gandini (chief designer at Bertone). It was dubbed "Stratos 0" in reference to the stratosphere, which was a popular theme of the space age at the time. Not only was it revolutionary in design, but it also featured a fully functional concept vehicle.

With an incredibly futuristic, science-fiction-inspired design, the Lancia Stratos Zero stood out as an ultra-low, aerodynamic supercar, measuring just 84cm in height. The body was crafted from fiberglass, with a distinctive original copper color. The rear fastback design, retractable steering wheel for easier cabin access, and a hinged windshield made it exceptionally unique. The dashboard featured a digital display with futuristic gauges, a forward-thinking feature for its time. The design was inspired by the supersonic aircraft of the era, as well as other concept vehicles like the General Motors Firebird III (1959), Chevrolet Testudo (1963), and Alfa Romeo Carabo.

The 1950s were dominated by glamorous cars with bright paint jobs and chrome detailing. However, the Firebird 1 XP-21 was a striking contrast to the norm, resembling a military missile more than a car of its time. It was the first of four unique concept cars from General Motors between 1953 and 1964, designed specifically to test a new type of engine.

The Firebird 1 XP-21 featured the innovative Wildfire Turbo Power gas turbine engine with a two-speed transmission. This engine was capable of producing a remarkable 370 horsepower at a staggering 13,000 rpm. The estimated top speed for all four generations of these concept cars was an impressive 200 mph. The engine also expelled jet fuel at an astounding 1,250°F. Due to its impracticality, for a long time, the only qualified driver able to operate it was Emmett Conklin, the project leader.

The sleek and striking design of the Firebird 1 XP-21 was created by the legendary GM Vice President of Styling, Harley J. Earl, who also contributed to the Buick Y-Job and 1953 Chevrolet Corvette designs. The lightweight fiberglass body, weighing just 2,500 pounds, was adorned with shark fin-style stabilizers to aid in decelerating from its projected top speed. The 1953, 1956, and 1959 models were all showcased at the Motorama Auto Show, with the 1956 and 1959 versions sporting more conventional designs. The Firebird 1 XP-21 was also the first gas turbine-powered car to be tested in the United States.

The Tesla Roadster is an all-electric, four-wheel-drive sports car that is claimed to be in development by Tesla, Inc. Tesla announced that the Roadster will be capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in just 1.9 seconds, making it the fastest car to legally drive on the road since the 2017 announcement. The Roadster is the successor to Tesla's first production car, the 2008 Roadster. It also features a removable glass roof, making it a convertible with a lightweight roof that can easily be stored in the trunk.

The Roadster holds the distinction of being Tesla's first car, and even the first-generation Roadsters are still highly valued today. The 2021 version takes inspiration from its predecessors, aiming to compete with the gasoline-powered McLaren 570S supercar. Inside, the Tesla Roadster emphasizes both comfort and safety, equipped with a range of safety features while ensuring a smooth driving experience. Some of its standard safety features include adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode, lane departure warnings with lane-keeping assistance, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection—all integrated into the Tesla Roadster.
