Top 6 fastest cars in the world

A car is such a lot quite a variety, yet we can’t resist the urge to brag or judge another’s wheels supported specifications only. Yours features a 180-horsepower engine? Mine has 250. It’s understandable because it’s not as easy to place into words the sensation of steering, braking, or any of the opposite subjective measures that we still brag about (even if we don’t know exactly what they mean). The numbers are just cleaner.

Whether you'll ever have the chance to experience a car at its V-Max is unlikely, and yet, inconsequential. Potential is all that matters.

With that in mind, these are the fastest cars within the world consistent with claimed or proven top speed. As a bonus, we’ve tacked on a few cars that might set records if they hit the assembly line. We’ve excluded purely concept or custom vehicle projects to stay things simple.

Some brands have a monopoly on speed, while others have only contributed one-hit wonders. However they came, these automakers did something very right.

World’s Fastest Cars

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: 304 mph
Hennessey Venom F5: 301 mph*
SSC Tuatara: 300+ mph*
Koenigsegg Agera RS: 278 mph
Hennessey Venom GT: 270 mph
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: 268 mph

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: 304 mph

In August 2019, Bugatti topped the formerly reigning Hennessey Venom F5. Not only that, but the Chiron Super Sport 300+ also became the primary car to interrupt 300 miles per hour on the track. the ultimate record was 304.773 mph with racecar driver Andy Wallace on Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany. If that’s hard to grasp, that’s because it's. Imagine having the ability to hide 450 feet during a single second.

In [the] future we'll specialize in other areas,” the manufacturer said during a statement. Only 30 of those 8-liter engines are going to be produced.

Hennessey Venom F5: 301 mph (Claimed)

Hennessey Performance Engineering previously owned the highest spot of this list with its Venom F5. The successor to the record-setting Venom GT, the F5 features a theoretical and claimed top speed of 301 mph, besting subsequent fastest car by a solid margin.

The Venom F5 utilizes a carbon fiber chassis and is powered by a 7.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 good for 1,600 horsepower. While Hennessey has yet to legitimize its claims, the F5 will reportedly dash from 0 to 249 mph and back to 0 in but 30 seconds. That’s about how long it takes a light sports car just to urge from 0 to 100 mph.

SSC Tuatara: 300+ mph (Claimed)

It’s been years since we heard from SSC when the American specialty vehicle manufacturer announced a successor to its Ultimate Aero hypercar. At the time, SSC claimed the upcoming Tuatara would hit 265 mph, but when the corporate revealed its production-intent model at this year’s Concours d’Elegance, the figure in question had risen to 300 mph.

Derived from a Nelson Racing Engines’ twin-turbocharged V-8, the Tuatara’s 5.9-liter flat-plane crank engine is capable of 1,750 horsepower when it runs E85 fuel.

Koenigsegg Agera RS: 278 mph

If you’re only curious about proven claims, then the world’s fastest cars list officially starts here with the Koenigsegg Agera RS. While Hennessey’s Venom F5 claims it can do over 300 mph, Koenigsegg has actually demonstrated it's Agera RS can put down a mean top speed of 278 mph. How did the Swedish automaker earn its stripes?

On November 4, 2017, the Nevada Department of Transportation closed an 11-mile stretch of road just outside Las Vegas. the typical pace (including one run at 285 mph) was recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records.

Hennessey Venom GT: 270 mph

When Koenigsegg set a replacement official top speed record, Hennessey forfeited the title. The Hennessey Venom GT came out of nowhere to topple the mighty Bugatti Veyron. In 2014, Hennessey revealed a Lotus-based Frankenstein supercar with a 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and 1,244 horsepower.
