Automakers around the world are in a constant race to produce cars with phenomenal performance. With each new release, companies strive to outdo each other, leading to the emergence of some of the fastest cars globally by 2016. Today, we will present the five fastest cars in the world as of now.
List of the Fastest Cars
5) Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo
The Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo is a powerful vehicle with a stunning and elegant design. Manufactured between 2000 and 2009, it was the first American car with a mid-engine layout. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and completes a quarter mile in 10.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 399 km/h, thanks to its engine that generates approximately 700 horsepower.
4) SSC Ultimate Aero
This car proved its worth, especially in 2007 when it surpassed the Bugatti Veyron. Its 6.3-liter V8 Twin-Turbo engine produces 1,287 horsepower, allowing it to reach a top speed of 412 km/h.
3) Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
After Volkswagen acquired Bugatti, their primary goal was to manufacture the fastest car in the world, which they achieved with the original Veyron. However, when the SSC Aero came onto the scene and claimed the title, Bugatti responded by developing the Veyron Super Sport. This powerful machine, with a 1,200 horsepower engine, reaches a top speed of 431 km/h.
2) Bugatti Chiron
With the launch of the Chiron, speculation arose over whether it could be the fastest car in the world. While its maximum speed remains uncertain, it has reportedly reached 420 km/h under legal street conditions. However, when unleashed on the racetrack, this beast with 1,500 horsepower could potentially hit 436 km/h, matching the Hennessey Venom GT for the top spot.
1) Hennessey Venom GT
The Hennessey Venom GT is a remarkable fusion of Lotus design and a 7.0-liter Twin-Turbo V8 engine that delivers 1,244 horsepower, achieving a top speed of 435 km/h. This record has been recognized worldwide, although it has yet to be validated by the Guinness World Records. It seems they are waiting for the final outcome of the Bugatti Chiron's performance.
