One of the greatest achievements of the 21st century is the era of HYPERCARS. Car manufacturers worldwide are trying to make sure that customers can brag about owning the fastest car in the world, even though they could never reach its top speed in reality. In the early 2000s, Bugatti set a milestone for the fastest car in the world with Veyron. It was the first car in the world that could cross the 400kmph mark. In today’s world, top speed is just a number as different car manufacturers have managed to break the Veyron record using advanced technology and better engine potential. But when you talk about the fastest, we only think about the top speed, engine potentials, and comparisons that leave us wondering which car ends up being on top. Here are the top 5 fastest cars in the world.
5. SSC Ultimate Aero
Designed and created by Shelby SuperCars (SSC), the SSC Ultimate Aero is not a very popular supercar. This was the first car to break the 400kmph record of the Veyron and was declared the fastest production car on September 13, 2007. This monster has a 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces a 1183PS of power and has a 0-100kmph accelerating time of 2.7 seconds. This supercar has a top speed of 413kmph. The stand-out feature of this supercar was that it was built without any electronic device aid to help control its power, making this car exclusive for drivers looking for an adrenaline rush from raw engine potential. Although the Ultimate Aero received updates in 2009 and 2013, the 2007 version of the car still holds the record for the top speed in the Guinness World Record.
4. Bugatti Chiron
The Bugatti Chiron made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016 as the successor of Veyron. It took a decade for Bugatti to come up with a car to be a proper successor for its initial supercar superstar. The Bugatti Chiron uses an 8.0-liter W16 engine the same as the Veyron but produces an outstanding 1500ps of power. The car accelerates from 0-100kmph in 2.4seconds and is electronically limited to a top speed of 420kmph. Bugatti had openly claimed that Chiron is capable of reaching speeds beyond 420kmph but is limited due to safety reasons, and specific physical aspects like tire integrity at such high speeds.
3. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
In 2010, Bugatti rose from its demise and made a colossal comeback breaking the SSC Ultimate Aero record with a stronger Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. The Veyron Super Sport was powered by 8.0 liters W16 with four turbo producing 1200ps, nearly 200PS more than its predecessor. Other than the aerodynamic adjustments to the car body, it was also fitted with ten additional radiators to keep the car from overheating at high speeds. At its best, this beast reached a top speed of 431kmph at the Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien high-speed test track near Wolfsburg, Germany.
