Best buy in the £millions

Koenigsegg Jesko (£2.5m - £3.2m)	Ferrari LaFerrari (£2m - £3.5m)	Pagani Huayra BC (£3.2m - £3.5m)

While no £3m car can be considered value for money, Koenigsegg's Jesko is destined to become a classic. It will almost certainly be the world's fastest car (330mph?) and will also be one of the last combustion engined hypercars around, before full electrification takes over. Savour it while you can!	There is always a special place reserved for the greatest Ferrari of the day, and the LaFerrari is no exception. As part of the legendary 'Holy Trinity', it set new standards for hybrid hypercars, showing they really could be the way forward. Shot up in value, and seems to be holding at the £2-£3m mark.	Despite being relative newcomers to the supercar world, the rarity and attention to detail of all Paganis makes them stand out from the crowd. They are not the fastest or the best handling, but their desirability is second to none, as is shown in the exceptionally high prices that the Huayra BC commands.

Best buy around £1m

Porsche 918 (£1m - £1.1m)	Bugatti Veyron (£800k - £1.7m)	Ferrari F40 (£900k - £1.2m)

Sets world records for fun, with 0-60mph in just 2.2 seconds and the first true road car to break the 7 minute barrier at the Ring. Originally retailing at £750k, high demand has pushed used values north of £1 million. This underrated Porsche is probably the greatest real-world usable supercar of them all.	The term 'legendary' is often overused when referring to supercars, but with the Veyron it fits the bill. It moved the hypercar goalposts with some awesome performance figures. 1000hp, 250mph and 2.5sec to 60mph are extraordinary even now, 15 years after the Veyron's debut. Expect values to climb.	Universally admired and desired, Ferrari's F40 has achieved classic status in the supercar world. Raw and visceral, you won't find modern comforts or driver aids in the F40, but that is the appeal. Just £160k when new, values rocketed astronomically before settling around the £1m mark.

Best buy around £500k

Ferrari SF90 Stradale (£450k - £750k)	Ford GT (£650k - £900k)	Porsche Carrera GT (£570k - £750k)

This amazing hybrid has all the performance of the LaFerrari, but this is no limited edition rarity, the SF90 is a full production model. At around £500k new, this most desirable of hypercars is incredible value compared to its multi-million dollar peers, while beating them all for desirability.	The second generation Ford GT is proving to be a highly desirable appreciating supercar. Ford hand picked customers from thousands of applicants, even at a base price of £300k. Prices may begin to dip now that Ford's embargo has lifted, but the GT remains one of the most desirable cars on the planet.	After dipping in value for years, the best hypercar of its generation has enjoyed a financial resurgence of late, with examples now fetching as much as £750k. Its performance may have been surpassed by modern supercars, but for pure driving pleasure (with old school driver input) there are few around that match it.

Best buy around £250k

Porsche 911 GT2 RS (£280k -£370k)	Ferrari 812 Superfast (£220k - £280k)	McLaren 765LT (£300k - £380k)

Porsche's evergreen 911 attracts a very loyal following, keeping values and desirability high. The latest and greatest 911, the 991.2 GT2 RS is no exception. Prices show little sign of dropping even three years after launch. All the track pace of a Senna for less than half the price.	Take an 800hp V12, supercar handling, stunning looks and the ultimate badge, then you arrive at the hugely desirable Ferrari 812 Superfast. List price was around £265k, then values surged on launch, before settling at around £250k. Simply the most desirable super GT on the market.	Even by McLaren standards, the new 765LT has set some truly amazing performance benchmarks. For an asking price of just £280k, the LT embarrasses just about every other hypercar on the market. If McLaren can only get a handle on their reliability and after sales issues, there will be no stopping them.

Best buy around £150k

McLaren 720S (£130k - £230k)	Ferrari 488 GTB (£140k - £220k)	Porsche Taycan Turbo S (£140k - £180k)

The Mclaren 720S presents you with a difficult choice to make. On one side we have an astoundingly fast car, with looks, handling and tech. On the other we have poor reliability, after service and depreciation. For what you are getting for just £130k, surely the amazing highs outweight the possible lows.	If the fragility of the 720S worries you, then for the same price the Ferrari 488 GTB offers similar performance and handling, and the cachet of the most famous badge in the world. Many criticised the adoption of turbos and engine note in the 488, but without doubt it is a far superior car to the 458 it replaced.	As a polar opposite (but equally fast) alternative to the 488 and 720S, there is Porsche's all electric Taycan Turbo S. Maybe not quite as good value or as quick as it's rival from Tesla, but you're getting Porsche's legendary build quality and reliability thrown in. The future of performance motoring has arrived.

Best buy around £100k

Mercedes AMG GTR (£95k - £150k)	McLaren 570S (£85k - £115k)	Ferrari FF (£90k - £130k)

The GTR has always been a highly desirable GT, with gorgeous looks, big performance, handling and sound combining to make this one of the best all rounders in the supercar world. The fact that it has now dropped below the £100k mark, makes this an almost irresistable prospect, and better value than the equivalent 911.	McLarens have always been good value considering the performance and technology on offer, but this is always tempered by their below par reliability. However, there comes a point at which the price drops so much that they can't be ignored. The amazing 570S is now just £85k. What else offers so much for so little?	If you are torn between the practicality of a 4-seater and the performance of a supercar, you can have both in the Ferrari FF. A glorious 650hp V12 propels four occupants along in luxurious comfort with the best sound track in the world. Now down to just £90k, the FF is 90% of the GTC4 Lusso, at 50% of the price.

Best buy around £75k

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 (£80k - £110k)	Porsche 997 GT3 (£70k - £100k)	Rolls Royce Phantom (£60k - £200k)

Although you can get an early Gallardo for around the £60k mark, increasing your budget just a little gets you into the seat of the far more desirable LP560. There are the obvious pitfalls of owning a 12-year old Lamborghini, but they are overshadowed by the the glorious 550hp V10. Stunning value at £80k.	£70k is all it takes to get your foot onto the Porsche GT3 ladder. You may not be getting the all conquering 991 generation, but the 997 iteration was not far behind, and was certainly the track car to beat in its day. With the end of combustion engines coming fast, now is the time to grab one while you still can.	Hard to believe that a once £350k Rolls Royce Phantom, the ultimate luxury automobile, can now be yours for just £60k. For that price, it will be 15 years old, with a patchy service history and some serious mileage but, as the often used cliche goes, you are getting an awful lot of car for your money.

Best buy around £50k

Audi R8 V10 (£45k - £80k)	Mercedes AMG E63S (£50k - £80k)	Porsche 997 Turbo (£45k - £80k)

Now dipping down to the magic £50k barrier, the first generation Audi R8 V10 signals the entry level to the world of the genuine supercar. Even though it is 10 years old, the 5.2 litre V10 still feels quick even compared to modern supercars. Ensure yours comes with the manual box and the essential magnetic ride.	Invariably, the value of a new Mercedes will drop like a stone. Bad news for the first buyer, but great for the used market. Despite the critical acclaim afforded the E63S, it too has dropped to a now highly tempting £50k. With 600bhp, its as fast as you'll ever need and (in our eyes) a more attractive proposition than an M5.	Hard to believe that a genuine Porsche 911 Turbo can be had for a mere £50k, but thats the starting point for a higher mileage, 997 generation Turbo. Remember, this all wheel drive supercar was just about the fastest real world car on the planet less than a decade ago. How does 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds sound?

Best buy around £25k

Ford Focus RS (£23k - £65k)	Bentley Continental GT (£17k - £40k)	BMW M5 (£19k - £35k)

Even four years after its launch, values for the third generation Focus RS have remained fairly steady at around the £25k mark. This is a lot of car for the money. Everyday practicality coupled with supercar worrying pace and all the handling fun you will ever need. It no longer has the unfair 'boy racer' stigma either.	It is 15 years old, has monumental running costs and would be a bit of a gamble, but a 550bhp twin-turbo W12 1st Gen Continental for under £20k is amazing! You'll have all the cachet of the Bentley name, for the same price as a humdrum mainstream saloon. All it would need is a private plate to look like a modern £100k GT.	Forget the unreliable V10 M5 from 2005, £20k can now get you into the far more desirable next gen F10 model from 2012. This one comes with a powerful twin-turbo V8, loads of standard kit and BMW's legendary handling. It might not reach the heights it once did, but the M5 is still one of the best drivers super saloons around.

Best buy around £15k

Porsche 996 Carrera (£13k - £35k)	Lotus Elise (£15k - £25k)	Mercedes SL55 AMG (£14k - £30k)

Perhaps unfairly maligned, but the 996 generation Carrera is affordable for a reason. Mainly due to the unpopular looks, it is the least desirable of the 911s. But if you can look beyond that, you will appreciate just what a great value car this is at just £15k. A fraction of the cost of a 993, yet it is objectively the superior car.	The Lotus Elise is simply one of the most entertaining driver's cars around. Lightweight, basic thrills don't come any cheaper than this. In fact the Elise has actually appreciated slightly in recent years. However, we are talking about a 20 year old car here, coupled with Lotus' less than perfect reputation for quality and reliability.	Just £15k gets you into the driving seat of one of most legendary AMGs ever made. The gorgeous SL55 had it all. Looks, power (500hp V8), performance (4 sec 0-60mph) and the icing on the cake, an electric retractable roof. We are talking about a 15 year old car, but prices seemed to have bottomed out, so depreciation is not an issue.

Best buy around £10k

Toyota GT86 (£10k - £28k)	Porsche Cayman S (£10k - £30k)	Jaguar XJR (£9k - £17k)

The GT86 may only have 200hp for rather lackluster acceleration, but it more than makes up for this with its exceptional levels of handling. Prices start as low as just £10k for this modern classic, but budget around the £15k mark for a good one. The GT86 is the best around for pure driver enjoyment.	With 911 prices holding fast, the 987 Cayman represents the cheapest first step onto the 'real' Porsche ladder. Critically acclaimed for its handling and quality, the Cayman is not so much a baby 911, rather a 2-seat alternative. Prices now start at around £10k for a Gen 1 example, preferably not Tiptronic.	It may be a 15 year old Jag, with all that entails in terms of reliability, but the Mk VII XJR is exceptional value at under £10k. This X351 model was a big step up from its predecessors, and was on a par with contemporary BMWs and Mercs of the era. Leather, wood and a 400hp supercharged V8 does not come any cheaper.

Best buy around £5k

Porsche Cayenne Turbo (£5k - £25k)	Ford Mustang GT (£4k - £70k)	Honda Civic Type-R (Gen 8) (£4k - £8k)

This is where the Super SUV craze all started, with the original Mk1 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. It was a gamble for Porsche, but sales were huge, meaning there's plenty to choose from. Porsches are famed for their reliability, but still look carefully when considering buying a 15-year old hard driven SUV.	There's a wide range of Mk5 Mustangs out there, stretching all the way to £70k but, at the lower end, you can get behind the wheel of this American icon for a ridiculous £4k. It might have dated looks, woeful build quality and crappy handling, but with a 300hp V8 and that legendary name, who cares!	The Gen 8 is certainly the best looking of the 5 generations of Civic Type-R but not the quickest. Nevertheless, the 200hp 4 cylinder really excels in the handling department. Running costs are low, fuel economy is better than you'd think (30mpg or so), and you even get a digital dashboard for your £4000.
