There are many criteria for measuring car performance. For the fastest car in the world, the main criterion is speed. Introducing you top 10 fastest cars in the world. These are mainly sports models, as fast as they are expensive.
The data is outdated, but we published a list of the fastest cars of 2019.
10. Noble M600 - top speed 362 km / h
The price is $ 330,000. The chic body of the British supercar immediately attracts attention, it is made of stainless steel and carbon fiber. With its 4.4-liter eight-cylinder engine with 650 hp the car is capable of squeezing 362 km / h at the limit. However, they ventured to disperse it only to 346 km / h, since the driver felt very strong vibrations when traveling.
9. Pagani Huayra - 370 km / h
The maximum speed is 370 km / h. Market value - $ 1.27 million. The next number in the rating of the fastest cars is a beautiful Italian supercar created from carbon fiber. It is powered by a Mercedes-AMG six-liter V12 engine with 720 horsepower. Last year, at the Geneva Motor Show, Pagani showed the Huayra BC lighter and more powerful than the standard Huayra. Her engine has been improved to 789 hp. while the total curb weight was reduced to a paltry 1,199 kg. This is comparable to the weight of the latest Honda Civic Coupe, but the Huayra is five times more powerful.
8. Zenvo ST1 - 375 km / h
Top speed - 375 km / h. Cost - 1.22 million. One of the few Danish hypercars is also one of the fastest cars. Zenvo ST1 assembled in Zealand shows Danish engineering excellence, as the car combines a 6.8-liter V8 engine with a supercharger and a turbocharger, with 1205 hp.
ST1 is capable of reaching 375 km per hour with a perfect road, but it is important to note that its maximum speed is electronically limited. Without digital nannies, the ST1 can be even faster on board. It is released in a 15-unit edition and you are unlikely to see it on Russian roads.
7. McLaren F1 - 386 km / h
Sold for 970 thousand dollars. A car with a unique interior design. Its authors are Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens. The driver's seat as well as the steering wheel in the McLaren F1 are located in the center of the cabin. At the end of the 20th century, McLaren F1 received the title of “fastest car in the world” and held it until 2005. The iron heart of this British beauty is the V12 engine with 627 horsepower.
6. Koenigsegg CCX - 405 km / h
It speeds up to 405 km / h. Cost - 545 568 dollars. This Swedish model has received many awards, including Top Gear Power Laps. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson took a ride on the CCX and praised the car very much, but he did not like the lack of downforce. Clarkson said that the lack of a rear spoiler is to blame. This was later announced by Top Gear pilot Stig, who crashed the CCX and suggested that the car would be more stable with a rear spoiler. In 2006, Koenigsegg introduced a variant of its supercar with an optional carbon fiber rear spoiler. However, with it, the speed drops to 370 km / h.
Forbes magazine has included CCX in the list of the most beautiful cars in the world.
5.9ffGT9-R - 414 km / h
The highest speed is 414 km / h. Buyers will cost 695 thousand dollars. This supercar, similar in appearance to the Porsche 911, was created by the German tuning company 9ff. For motorists, the design caused an ambiguous reaction: in the reviews there is both admiration for the beauty of the car, and criticism of the "ugly headlights" and an excessively long body.
One of the main differences from the usual 911 is the location of the four-liter Twin Turbo engine with 1120 hp. All 911 models in the history of Porsche (with the exception of the Porsche 911 GT1) have a rear engine, while the GT9 is mid-engined for better weight distribution.
4. SSC Ultimate Aero - 430 km / h
Theoretically achievable speed - 430 km / h. Offered for 655 thousand dollars. An American from Shelby SuperCars (SSC) was king of the speed auto world from 2007 to 2010, beating the Veyron Super Sport version. He even got into the Guinness Book of Records in 2007 with an astounding 412 km / h.
The 6.3-liter Twin Turbo V8 engine with 1287 horsepower helped to achieve this record. The driver does not have electronic assistants to help control this power. So the car promises either a delightful experience for those who have extensive driving experience, or an almost certain death for the scorcher who do not have such an experience.
3. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - 431 km / h
The claimed speed is 431 km / h. When Volkswagen bought the Bugatti brand, it had one goal: to release the fastest production car in the world. The original Veyron achieved this goal, however, it was soon overthrown by SSC Ultimate Aero. So the Bugatti is back with Super Sport. It has an 8-liter Quad Turbo W16 engine with 1200 hp, as well as numerous aerodynamic changes designed to help win a few extra kilometers per hour.
The cost of this luxury car is $ 2.4 million, and despite such a high price, demand for cars in the car market is very high.
2. Hennessey Venom GT - 435 km / h
The price is $ 1 million.
In the 2014 tests conducted at the Kennedy Space Center, the coupe managed to accelerate to 435 km / h in a single race. This dream of speed, embodied in a carbon fiber body (except for doors and roof), is equipped with a 7.0-liter V8 engine with twin turbo with 1244 horsepower.
1. Bugatti Chiron - the fastest car
The maximum speed is 463 km / h.
The cost is $ 2.65 million.
The fastest car in the world in 2018 and possibly 2019 (next year Bugatti plans to set a speed record using Chiron). His photos and specifications were declassified only at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. This luxury two-seater was developed after the success of the Bugatti Veyron, which is considered one of the fastest and most expensive cars in the world. The Bugatti Chiron is equipped with a 16-cylinder engine and its 1,500 horsepower rush from 0 to one hundred kilometers in 2.5 seconds.
Although the Chiron is built like a race car, you don't need to be a professional to drive it. The car is designed to automatically adjust the ride as you increase or decrease speed, which ensures optimal performance.
Cars are also looming on the horizon, which are ready to compete for the right to be called the fastest cars in the world. So, SSC hopes to regain the title of “fastest car in the world” with its challenger Tuatara (1350 horsepower under the hood and 443 km / h in theory). And Koenigsegg claims that the One: 1 supercar "on the shoulder" to overcome the bar at 430 km / h. In 2016, while trying to set a record when completing a lap on the German Nurburgring One: 1 race track, he crashed into a safety fence. The pilot wasn’t badly injured, which can’t be said about the car. This is one of the most expensive cars and the most expensive accident at the Nurburgring.
