Make no doubt, there’s a supercar war of sorts on between the big names in performance. OK, so the likes of Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini have never shied away from taking a dig at one another whenever an opportunity arises, but now it’s getting personal. Sort of.

Speaking at the launch of the latest flagship Porsche, the 911 Turbo, the company’s advisor and spokesman Michael Schimpke casually claims the car is the “fastest car south of the alps,” with the exception of exclusive, hand-built models from specialist low-volume manufacturers.

For those who don't know, "ultimate" is derived from the latin term meaning "latest (or last) in a series". Has nothing to do with quality or superiority. How much we have misused this term!

This Porsche wins my vote as one of the best sportscars in the world, but there are many more to add to the list, including the Veyron.
