Ferrari\u2019s legendary supercar, the F40, has topped a poll to identify the 10 best supercars of all time, held by the organizers of The Fast Car Festival \u2014 a major new show set for Donington Park, Derbyshire, on the weekend of July 30-31, 2016.<\/p>\n

The F40, built to commemorate the brand\u2019s 40th<\/sup> anniversary in 1988, was the last model to be signed off by company founder Enzo Ferrari before his death. It was, at the time, the fastest car in the world, and was meant to be the closest thing possible to an F1 car for the road.<\/p>\n

The F40 garnered 18 percent of the total vote to beat out its closest challengers as Ferraris took three of the top 10 spots, the only carmaker with multiple entries on the list. According to the poll, the 10 best supercars of all time are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ferrari F40<\/li>\n
  2. Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione<\/li>\n
  3. Ferrari La Ferrari<\/li>\n
  4. McLaren F1<\/li>\n
  5. Koenniggsegg<\/li>\n
  6. Porsche 911<\/li>\n
  7. Pagani Zonda<\/li>\n
  8. Ferrari Enzo<\/li>\n
  9. Audi R8<\/li>\n
  10. Jaguar XJ220<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Fast Car Festival will feature cars from all over the world, with the honored marque for this inaugural event being Lotus, whose models will enjoy a special display area and exclusive track time. Show goers will also be able to take their own vehicles out on the circuit in a number of public track sessions.
