Bugatti Chiron

We’re not sure we need to list the reasons you’d want to pick up a Chiron when it launches later this year. But we’ll do it anyway: it will hit 261 miles-per-hour; it looks the progeny of the Batmobile and an Air Hockey puck; and it’s predicted to cost about £1.9m when it lands. Which means you’ve got as much chance of getting hold of one as you did its predecessor, the legendary Veyron. If you do know someone on the inside, can we get a ride?

Tesla Model X

History will probably mark this car as the point at which the robot ascendancy started. It’s so smart that Stephen Hawking’s probably the only man who could outwit it. There’s no centre console – just the world’s largest tablet, which controls everything. Even the steering. It’s also electric, so it will help keep the planet clean – for our new mechanical overlords.
