The fastest cars in the world

It has fascinated human speed for thousands of years.

Races in ancient Greece and chariot races in Rome increased speed and competition.

But it was not until the first cars hit the streets that humans began to strive for high speeds.

Today, almost any car can reach a top speed of 160 km / h, and most family sedans go beyond 190 km / h.

High-performance cars usually travel at speeds of 230 to 280 km / h, but our need for speed is beyond that. At one time, automakers tried to reach 200 mph or 320 km / h in production models, but today, with the addition of more power, smarter aerodynamics and the use of electric motors, this limit has reached 300 mph or 480 km / h. Is. In this article, we have a look at the fastest cars in the world based on maximum speed.

1. Koenigsegg jsko Absolut

Top speed: 530 km / h

Acceleration from zero to 96 unknown
Power 1600 hp
Torque 1500 Nm
Priced at $ 2.8 million

Koenigsegg knows a lot about making impressive hypercars, and Jesco Absolut is the latest product of this knowledge.

Of course, while most of the cars on this list have reached their top speeds, the 530 km / h Jesco Absolute is just a theory at the moment.

This speed has been estimated by mathematical calculations and no spy has reached this speed yet.

However, this $ 2.8 million Swedish monster with 1,600 horsepower and 1,500 Nm of torque on the side of the aerodynamic body,

which also produces considerable downforce, can achieve such speed as long as it is on Earth. Do not move at this speed!

2- Hennessy Venom F5

Maximum speed: 500 km / h

Acceleration from zero to 96 2.4 seconds
Power 1800 hp
Torque 1600 Nm
Priced at $ 1.8 million

Extremely high speeds are not just exclusive to Europeans because the crazy men who work at the Hennessy Performance Center in Texas know a lot about it.

The company's previous product, the Venom GT, based on the Lotus Elysee,

was able to reach speeds of 428 km / h, and now Hennessy claims the new F5 model thanks to the 6.6-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 1800 hp and 1600 hp.

Nm of torque can exceed the speed limit of 500 km / h. The F5 is priced lower than its European rivals, starting at $ 1.8 million. Hennessy will produce only 24 of these hypercars.

3-Bugatti Veyron Supersport 300

Top speed: 490 km / h
Acceleration from zero to 96 2.3 seconds
Power 1600 hp
Torque 1600 Nm
Priced at $ 3.9 million

Bugatti, like Dodge, stays in the world of hypercars because it constantly finds ways to bring out more performance than just a propulsion system.

Although the 8-liter W16 four-turbo engine shocked us in the Veyron and Veyron Supersport (two cars that would easily have been on the list if they were still in production),

the Chevron Supersport 300 showed a new level of capability.

With 1,600 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque, the plant provides 2.3 seconds of acceleration for the Chevron family flagship.

The car was also able to reach 490 km / h in the real world.

4-SSC Tuatara

Top speed: 455 km / h
Acceleration from zero to 96 in 2.5 seconds
Power 1750 hp
Torque 1735 Nm
Priced at $ 1.9 million

In January 2021, SSC Tuatara recorded an average speed of 455 km / h in the second attempt at the Johnny Boomer test site at the space shuttle facility in Florida,

after much ambiguity about its first attempt to break the speed record.

Although this speed is lower than the record of 508 km / h that SSC originally claimed, it still seems significant for hyperwork with 1750 hp and 1735 Nm of torque.

5- Nora Remak

Top speed: 415 km / h

Acceleration from zero to 96 in 1.9 seconds
1940 hp
Torque 2360 Nm
Priced at $ 2.5 million

If the question has ever been whether electrification will be the future of performance in cars, Remac intends to answer in the affirmative with a car like the Nora.

This stylish Croatian hypercar is equipped with four electric motors with a total power of 1940 hp.

Although Nora's top speed of 415 km / h is impressive, this car has impressed us most with its acceleration from zero to 96 km / h in 1.9 seconds.

The Hypercar Remac also also covered the distance of 400 meters in just 8.6 seconds.

6. Aston Martin Valkyrie

Maximum speed: 400 km / h
Acceleration from zero to 96 in 2.5 seconds
Power 1160 hp
Torque 900 Nm
Price $ 3.0 million

Aston Martin has never been very active in the world of hypercars, focusing solely on making stylish, high-end Grand Tourrs, but Valkyrie is changing everything. This is the result of Aston Martin working with his Formula One partner, the Red Bull Racing team, to build a world-class hypercar. The Valkyrie is a naturally aspirated Cassourt V12 engine with a hybrid system that produces a total of 1,160 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. The car's petrol engine redline also reaches a staggering 11,000 rpm. The Valkyrie accelerates from zero to 96 km / h in 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of more than 400 km / h.

7- McLaren Speedtil

Maximum speed: 400 km / h
Acceleration from zero to 96 2.9 seconds
Power 1050 hp
Torque 1150 Nm
Priced at $ 2.0 million

First of all, McLaren broke the speed record.

The legendary F1 held the record for more than two decades until the arrival of the Bugatti Veyron.

The new SpeedTil will not overtake the F1 record with a top speed of 400 km / h,

but this $ 10 million 250-horsepower hypercar is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cars on the list.

Also, in any case, the speed of 400 km / h and, more importantly, unlike the Jesco Absolute or Venom F5,

we have no doubt in the ability of the SpeedTil to reach this relatively reasonable top speed.

8. Koenigsegg Jumeirah

Maximum speed: 400 km / h
Acceleration from zero to 96 in 1.9 seconds
Power 1700 hp
Torque 3500 Nm
Price $ 500,000

The four-cylinder Koenigsegg with a three-cylinder engine does not look like a car that could be on the list of the fastest cars in the world,

but the number of seats and cylinders tell only part of the story.

The Jumeirah, which has 1,700 horsepower and 3,500 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 400 km / h and an acceleration of 1.9 seconds, can terrify the other three occupants.

This stunning performance is achieved thanks to three electric motors along with a 2-liter twin-turbocharged petrol engine.

The Jumeirah starts at just $ 500,000, which is not a big deal for one of Koenigsegg's most attractive creations.

9. Pagani Huayra BC Pakto Tempesta

Top speed: 380 km / h
Acceleration from zero to 96 2.8 seconds
Power 830 hp
1100 Nm of torque
Priced at $ 3.4 million

The Pagani Huayra BC may seem like an unusual car on this list due to its advanced age.

The power of this car does not seem to be much compared to other cars on this list, but still

, this stylish V12 hypercar can reach a top speed of 380 km / h. Introduced in 2021,

the new Pacchetto Tempesta (Storm Package) package adds 25 horsepower and 50 Nm of torque to the output of the 6-liter V12 twin-turbocharged Huaira engine.

10. Lamborghini Ontador Ultima

Top speed: 355 km / h

Acceleration from zero to 96 2.8 seconds
Power 780 hp
Torque 720 Nm
Price $ 500,000

The Lamborghini Ontador, like the Pagani Huayra, has been on the market for a long time, but the Italian supercar has reached the end of its life.

The Ultima is the last nail in the coffin of the Ontador, which will also carry the company's pure V12 performance gasoline because it will replace the Ontador hybrid.

The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine produces only 780 horsepower and 720 Nm of torque, which is less than all the cars on this list,

but with a top speed of 355 km / h and acceleration from zero to 96 km / h in 2.8 seconds, say a glorious goodbye. Will figure with Ontador.
