The dawn of the hypercar

2000–2009

The 2000s brought the hypercar: the Bugatti Veyron's sixteen-cylinder engine made 1,001 PS, and the Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT and Koenigsegg CC8S pushed road cars closer to racing cars than ever.

At the same time the grand tourer returned to luxury with cars such as the Bentley Continental GT and Aston Martin DB9.
