In recent years, Hennessey, Ferrari, Bugatti, McLaren, Rimac, Koenigsegg, and Tesla, among others, have been releasing fabulous cars, each of them leading in its design and speed. We have found out what the fastest cars in the world are and what are their features.
Did you believe that there is a list where the fastest Lamborghini is in the last place? Yes, there is, and in front of him excel automotive machines with exotic names, for which most of the mortals have never heard of. We give you the list of most prestigious cars on Planet Earth. Most of them can be seen only along the azure coastal resorts or near the red carpets, but certainly, wherever they are to be found, they drive by tempting lusty glances of both men and women. Everyone would want to have them or at least to drive them and feel an unusual atmosphere of the fastest!
Koenigsegg Agera RS has become officially the fastest production car in the world that can be legally driven on public roads with an average speed of 277.9 miles per hour, which was measured in Nevada during two attempts. By doing this, this model of the Swedish company Koenigsegg, which deals with the production of supersport cars in small series, in a short time broke another speed record that was previously held by one of Bugatti's models. Namely, in October, Agera RS surpassed the world record in acceleration from 0 to 248.55 miles per hour, and stopping (0-248.55-0 miles per hour), which Bugatti Chiron posted a month earlier in almost 6 seconds.
This time, the model from the Koenigsegg workshop removed from the throne the second Bugatti car, the Veyron Super Sport, which recorded a maximum average speed of 267.82 miles per hour in 2010, on the test track in Germany.
However, the question arises as to how long Agera RS will stay on the top, as Bugatti announced earlier that his goal is to make a new model, Chiron, predicted to become the fastest serial car in the world that can be driven on public roads.
Another threat comes from the other side of the Atlantic, from the United States, where Hennessey introduced its new hipersport car in early November - the Venom F5, which the manufacturer claims can develop as much as 300 miles per hour.
Regarding the current recorder, Koenigsegg Agera RS, this drive model uses the 5.0 V8 biturbo engine, which has 1.379 hp and 1.369 Nm in a strong and all-powerful drive configuration, taken from the One: 1 model.
Hennessey Venom GT has the ability to reach speeds of 270.39 miles per hour, putting it at the top of the world's fastest car charts. Below the hood, you will find a combination of the Lotus Elise chassis and the 1244-hp 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8.
A speed of 270 miles per hour Venom reached the Kennedy Space Center but only in one direction. It is a fascinating fact that in order to achieve the stated maximum speed, it took just over three kilometers of a flat surface, which does this car not only describe as fast in terms of maximum speed, but also in terms of crazy frenetic acceleration. It takes him less than 2 seconds from 0-60 miles per hour.
In 2016, Bugatti introduced its new Bugatti Chiron model, which retained the basic proportions of Veyron, but is completely new and created to fully utilize the laws of physics. The maximum speed achieved by this second fastest car in the world is 260.97 miles per hour.
The engine was developed on the basis of the Veyron's 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 with 1,500 horsepower, the transmission is a better version of Veyron's dual-clutch with the seven-speed four-wheel drive. Chiron flies from 0 to 60 miles per hour realizing that acceleration in 2.5 seconds, while it takes him less than 6.5 seconds to reach speeds of 120 miles per hour. Up to the level of 180 miles per hour, Chiron accelerates in 13.6 seconds.
Its price ranges from 1.9 million pounds.
SSC Ultimate Aero from the series of Shelby Supercars (SSC) has nothing to do with Cobra Carroll Shelby, but nevertheless, Ultimate Aereo was the fastest car in the world at one point. It could reach a speed of 255 miles per hour and was faster than Bugatti Veyron.
To achieve this, it has a 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 1.287 horsepower. This car has no electronic aids to help control this power but will provide you with a wild crude driving experience.
Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. The main and brightest thing on this car is already in its name: Innovative Double Turbochargers have been added to the already existing V8 engine of 7.0 liters. What made Saleen the fastest car in the world, is not just the engine, but also the aid of design and aerodynamics. Motor Saleena has 750 horses, six-speed gearbox, 1247kg chassis. From 0-60 miles per hour, it speeds up in just 2.8 seconds, and its maximum speed is just below 250 miles per hours.
Its price is about 450 thousand pounds.
The Tesla model S P100D was the fastest serial car in the world. Model S P100D with its new 100kW battery and with boosted performance while in Ludicrous it reaches a mark of 60 miles per hour for 2.5 seconds. The new, stronger battery should be able to increase the range of Model S and the Tesla car should be able to cross the length of 315 miles according to US standards, and even 380 miles by European standard.
Rimac Concept One. The features of this electric car are excellent - 1,088 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.6 seconds, or from 0 to 120 miles per hour in incredible 6.2 seconds, while the highest speed this car reaches is even 220 miles per hour.
Rimac Cars are on the rise in the market being sold at a price of around 675 thousand pounds.
