High, forward, fast! Here is our list of the top 10 fastest cars in the world, with sharp and extraordinary top speeds.
If you enjoy driving at high speeds, you are not alone. Adrenaline congestion that comes with speed stimulates, it often begins at an early age. As soon as we learn to ride a bicycle, we crave the thrill of going fast. We get our hands on motorcycles and eventually on cars. Then there are high-speed sports cars, which, although we arrive most of us, never stop to catch our attraction.
On this subject, this article takes one step forward and today discovers the top 10 fastest cars in the world.
1. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut
Top Speed: Over 500 km/hr (claimed)
Pushing the limits of what’s possible in automotive engineering. The Swedish Automaker, Koenigsegg is acclaimed to make the fastest hypercar in 2024. Jesco Absolute aims to offer the most wildly.
The 5-liter
twin-turbo V8
petrol engine 1,600 hp,
0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.
In addition, Christian von Koenigsegg, head of Koenigsegg, revealed that the latest Jesco Absolute could achieve a top speed of more than 500 km/h. Now, it may look like a marketing statement. But they feel that they have done some serious simulations and are very certain about their estimates.
Recently, Jesco Absolute was also nominated for the World Record. It did 0-400–0 km/h in 27.83 seconds. In simple terms, it sprinkled up to 400 km/h from stagnation and returned to a standstill in 28.81 seconds. For reference, most largely market cars are used to reach the time 100 km/h. In addition, it gained a top speed of 412 km/h, making three more world records in the process. These include 0 to 400 km/h in 18.82 seconds, 0 to 402 km/h in 19.2 seconds, and 0–402-0 km/h in 28.27 seconds. Reports also suggested that even after watching 412 km/h, Jesko Absolut could go even faster.
2. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+
Top Speed: 304 mph (490 km/h Claimed)
You will most likely remember the famous Bugatti Veyron as the fastest car during the period of 2000. Well, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is the successor of the Bugatti Veyron and brings the same spirit. It is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 petrol engine that churns 1,600 HP. With this, as the name suggests, the Chiron Super Sport can do more than 300+ 300 mph or 489 km/h. The French Hypercar gained this momentum in Volkswagen’s -Ehra-Lessien Test track. However, Chiron 300+ does not hold an official world record, although it was only operated in one direction.
To set the record, a car needs to be driven twice in opposite directions, which Bugatti left for some reason.
3. SSC Tuatara
Top Speed: 282 mph (474 km/h Claimed)
American supercar, SSC Tuatara, a 5.9-liter twin-turbo petrol engine tests the V8 manufacturing, which generates up to 1,750 Hp when fuel is filled with ethanol. While the Bugatti Chiron’s W16 engine packs a solid punch, it is slightly complicated in construction. Conversely, yet, SSC is a dispute around the top speed of Tuatara. In October 2020, SSC North American founder, Jerod Shelby, took Tuatara to the Nevada desert to test its top speed, he claimed that it was 532 km/h, but later he accepted it as a GPS error. In another test in 2022, Tuatara saw the actual top speed of 474 km/h.
Why this is special: Tuatara combines aerodynamic efficiency and a smooth, future design with future design. SSC has also preferred car volatility at high speed, leading to an increase in both performance and stability.
4. Hennessey Venom F5
Top Speed: 311 mph (500 km/h)
Another American hypercar, following the SSC Tuatara. Hennessey Venom F5 is a car built to take the fight to the Bugatti’s and Koenigseggs high speed. The Venom F5 comes from a special manufacturer. Hennessey has its core mastery in tuning and augmenting the performance of cars from other brands. They also tune pick-up trucks and SUVs such as Ford Raptor and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Coming back to the topic on hand, the Venom F5 is the successor to the Venom GT, which was originally based on Lotus Exige.
The Venom F5 is equipped with a 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine. That produces 1,817 HP power and 1,617 Nm of torque. it makes the Venom F5 sprint from a standstill to 100 km/hr in 2.6 seconds. The Venom F5 can reach the top speed of 437 km/hr for now, while Hennessey wants to push its limits and is targeting a top speed of over 300 mph, or 482 km/hr.
Why It’s Special: The Venom F5 isn’t just about top speed. it also boasts advanced systems like a low drag coefficient and a powerful braking system to ensure control at high velocities.
5. Rimac Nevera
Top Speed: 258 mph (415 km/h)
Rimac Nevera is renowned for offering instant acceleration, however, powered by four electric motors producing a combined 1,914 horsepower, the Nevera is an absolute powerhouse of acceleration.
