The pick of the litter is undoubtedly the Trofeo which employs a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6, lifted from the MC20, to produce 395 kW and 620 Nm torque for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of only 3.5-seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h.

A full electric version will also be hitting our shores in the near future.
