The safety car with the three-pointed star has been a constant feature for 26 years now, and during that time, high-performance models, including the Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG, the Mercedes-Benz C 36 AMG and the spectacular SLS AMG gullwing specially developed by Mercedes-AMG, have all been utilised.

2022 F1 season is now set to mark a premiere when the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series (fuel consumption combined: 12.8 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 292 g/km)¹  leads the field as the safety car. 

At the same time, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ (fuel consumption combined: 13.5-13.0 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 308-295 g/km)¹  will make its debut as the medical car. These two F1 safety vehicles about to be deployed this season will be the most powerful ever used and will sport the same distinctive red livery as last year. View experiences here

Jackson Racing, a renowned Honda tuning company based in California, has been perfecting its craft for over two decades. Their expertise in the American import drag-racing scene primarily revolves around their highly acclaimed and extensively tested superchargers. Therefore, when Simon Saunders, the head of Ariel, sought to enhance the speed of his Honda Type-R-engined Atom track car, he naturally turned to Jackson Racing. The outcome of their collaboration is the all-new supercharged Atom, boasting an impressive power output of 300bhp at 8200rpm, a substantial increase from its original 220bhp. Additionally, the torque has been boosted from 144lb ft at 6100rpm to 191lb ft at 7150rpm. Weighing in at a mere 460kg without fuel, this latest iteration of the Atom is bound to deliver an exhilarating performance on the track. The hairs on the back of your neck will stand up as the noise of the supercharger kicks in. This Supercharged Atom is one of the Instructors favourite cars we own.  View experiences here

The DB11 succeeds the DB9 as Aston Martin’s flagship V12 GT, taking on cars like the Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe, Bentley GTC and Ferrari F12. Aston’s DB lineage, named after one-time owner David Brown, stretches right back to 1950 and includes the iconic DB5 of Goldfinger fame. But the DB11 is the first all-new one since 2003. And if you’re wondering what happened to DB10, that was reserved for a special re-bodied V8 Vantage used in 2015’s Bond film, Spectre.  Select your experience here

The Aston Martin DB5 is one of the world's best-known cars. First released in 1963 but it became even more iconic after it was driven by James Bond in the 1964 film Goldfinger. With its unforgettable silver birch paintwork, leather seats and wooden steering wheel, this is a car to be enjoyed. We are proud to offer this truly authentic example rebuilt with genuine Aston Martin parts. Select your experience here

The new Aston Martin DB9 gets styling cues from the Virage, and retains the 6.0-litre V12 but now in 510bhp tune. So has it moved on enough to justify its £132k+ price and rationalise the Aston range? Book your experience here

Arguably the most visually appealing Aston Martin in the range, the Vantage is a taut mix of muscularity and Aston’s traditional elegance. It works very well too, with the squat, purposeful proportions conveying the obvious sporting intent. Select your experience here

Aston Martin’s Vantage safety car is technically upgraded from the original road-going version of the sportscar - but has now been released as a bespoke F1 model.

The 4-litre turbo V8 pumps out 535PS (528hp) – which is 25PS more than the basic road going car. This gives it an acceleration figure of 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds

With an added front splitter and vaned grille, the Vantage creates 155.6kg of downforce at 200km/h, which is 60kg more than the production car creates at the same speed.

The safety car also features upgraded suspension, steering and dampers, as well as bracing modifications to help with front structural stiffness.

It features its flashing light panel in the more traditional position on top of the roof.

But what the R8 yields in flash, it makes up for in the cohesive design. The angular body is one of the most futuristic shapes ever to roll off a production line. While some supercars can be confused as “some new Ferrari or Lamborghini,” the R8 is almost immediately recognized as an Audi. That’s because Audi’s latest models are all characterized by piercing LED headlights and taillights, ornate wheel designs, and angular bodies. Select your experience here

At 610 horsepower, this naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 is the most powerful engine ever put into production by Audi. It revs 20 percent quicker than its predecessor, spinning from idle to its 8500-rpm redline in 0.66 seconds. The pedestal it’s bolted to, a V10 Plus blitzes to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and wails a stirring soprano aria in the process. Select your experience here

Eleanor, the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 from the film Gone in Sixty Seconds starring Nicolas Cage - widely recognised as one of Hollywood's most iconic film cars of the 21st century. With all the cars in the film referred to as female names to hide their identities from the police, Eleanor was described as the main character's 'unicorn' — the one he failed to steal on a number of occasions. A rarity in its own right, just 300 GT500 Shelby Mustangs were ever built. Select your experience here

Ferrari may have been founded on a series of V12-powered cars, but some of its most successful models were those fitted with a mid-rear-mounted V8. And so it is with the Ferrari 458 Italia – the name meaning 4.5-litres and eight cylinders, with Italia thrown it at the end in homage to its home country. It was hailed by none other than Jeremy Clarkson as one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever made. Select your experience here

The Ferrari 488's bodywork has been meticulously crafted to achieve a 50% surge in downforce compared to the 458, all the while diminishing aerodynamic drag at the front, a novel dual splitter serves a dual purpose: not only does it enhance radiator cooling by forcibly directing air into them, but it also expertly guides the airflow over the underbody vortex generators, generating ground effects without tacking on undesirable drag. Moving to the rear, a fresh rear spoiler (which can be described as a slotted flap) has been seamlessly integrated into the rear decklid and bumper. This innovative design elevates downforce performance without necessitating the use of a raised wing situated centrally, the "Aero Pillar" masterfully redirects air beneath the car's flat body, and two vents positioned in the bonnet serve as outlets for air from the front bumper's dual intakes. This ingenious arrangement further mitigates air pressure over the car's frontal area. Select your experience here

Built to take on, and beat, Ferrari in endurance racing, the GT40 is one of the greatest ever Fords. This car became an icon when it ended Ferrari's dominance in 1966 in the Le Mans 24 hour race.

A Lamborghini SUV? Really? Well, yes, and actually, the Lamborghini Urus isn’t the Italian firm’s first, either. That was the LM002 launched back in the mid-Eighties, which had the power, but not the handling to go with it, preferring to be off-road instead.

The Lamborghini Urus, on the other hand, is very much a road machine. The LM002, then, is a bit like rugged, outdoor-friendly Columbia clothing, where the Urus is more like Adidas’s Y-3 brand, which puts equal emphasis on style and performance.

At launch the McLaren 570S represented a toe dipped into new waters, it’s the forerunner of McLaren’s everyday Sports Series line up - from a manufacturer historically linked with high-performance supercars. This is a seriously fast machine, it is powered by the 3.8-litre V8 used in all McLarens. It has two turbochargers, which help deliver a surge of acceleration in the middle of the rev range.  Select your experience here
