We meant to do this list last year but, um, er, forgot, but the last time we remembered, in 2015, the fastest car that year – the Porsche 911 GT3 – would only be sixth on this year’s list.

Just a note, this list only includes cars we have independently tested over the past 12 months, so as much as we’d love there to be, there’s no Bugatti Chiron etc. So without any further ado, here’s MOTOR’s 10 fastest cars of 2017.
