A Century of Supercars What’s the greatest supercar of the last 100 years? Lamborghini Countach or LaFerrari? Mercedes 300SL ‘Gullwing’ or McLaren F1? There’s only one way to find out: visit The Classic & Sports Car Show this autumn. That’s because The Show is launching ‘A Century of Supercars’, a global poll to name the greatest supercar of all time and the winner will be revealed at Alexandra Palace from 28th 30th October in a show-stopping centerpiece. With the Lamborghini Miura celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2016, supercars are in the spotlight, but the concept and, contrary to popular opinion the very term first used in a 1920 Ensign Six advert goes back way further. Experts from Classic & Sports Car Show have picked three leading contenders from each era/decade that enthusiasts can vote on in a huge online poll. The game-changing contenders vying for victory include the Mercedes 60hp, Alfa Romeo 8C 2900, monstrous Metallurgique, sublime Ferrari 250GT SWB, fiery Ferrari F40 and record-breaking Bugatti Veyron to name just a handful of pioneering machines.
