Car manufacturing is a costly process. Due to the decent cost, many luxury supercars are released in the amount of several pieces. Many of them can be found only at exhibitions. However, many of the leaders in our Vehicle Top are serial representatives of their manufacturers.
Car lovers have always been interested in the question: “What is the fastest car?” We have selected for you a list of models of world automobile concerns leading in speed characteristics. You may know the names of many “beauties” ... And if not, our article is for you!
No. 10: a car with a unique Noble M60 engine
At the end of the list of fastest cars is the British-made Nuble M600. Only a professional-level rider can handle this monster. Due to the vibration frequency at high speed, car behavior requires a high driver concentration. One of the features of the supercar is the motor housing, which is made of stainless steel and carbon alloy.
The engine that Yamaha engineers worked on is unique. Electronic filling allows the motor to have different power (450, 550 and 650 horsepower).
This $ 330,000 mid-engined vehicle accelerates to 362 kilometers per hour. Thanks to this, he was among the ten fastest cars in the world.
No. 9: Italian Pagani Huayra
The only representative of Italians in our Top is on the last but one place.
Pagani Huayra confidently develops its maximum of 370 kilometers per hour, while it overcomes the mark of 100 km / h in 3 seconds. The automaker has equipped its brainchild with a Mercedes-AMG engine, which has a capacity of 720 horsepower.
Huayra in translation from the ancient Inca language means "wind". Auto attracts the eyes of a truly original body design. Reminiscent of the Porshe Carrera GT, which, despite its performance, did not get into the Top 10 fastest cars in the world.
A distinctive feature of Huayra, however, like all representatives of Pagani, is the body, which is completely made of carbon fiber. This design solution allowed developers to reduce the weight of the machine to almost one ton.
No. 8: the powerful Zenvo ST1
Hypercar Zenvo ST1 with an engine of 1205 horses takes 8th place. The developers have created a total of 15 units of the Zealand representative of the automotive industry. Due to the limited edition, demand among elite sports car lovers is very high.
A feature of this machine is the ability to disable electronic control, which, in turn, will allow the engine to show the true power of the "herd of horses." The stunning view of this "monster" attracts the attention of every passerby.
No. 7: McLaren F1 gold engine cars
McLaren F. also entered the Top of the fastest cars . The sports car has a memorable modern design, the cost of which is impressive: $ 970,000. The race car of British manufacturers until 2005 was considered the fastest in the world. The sports version accelerates to 386 kilometers per hour with 627 horsepower.
The engine engine has a unique location when compared with other representatives of the sports class. The motor is perfectly centered. And the unit compartment itself is glued with a film of gold. This is done for better heat dissipation.
An interesting fact about the model. The rarest McLaren F1 body color is yellow. All over the world there is only one car of this color, which was sold at auction for $ 1.7 million.
No. 6: the beauty of Koenigsegg CCX
Sixth place is taken by one of the most beautiful cars in the world - Koenigsegg CCX. Although the beauty of this car does not prevent it from being considered one of the fastest. The model was made specifically for sale in the United States, therefore, meets all the requirements of American motorists. The only thing the Americans found fault with is the high cost of a sports car - half a million dollars. Speed indicators are limited to 370 kilometers per hour. The first versions of the model developed 405 km / h, but due to owners' complaints about insufficient downforce, the manufacturer installed a carbon fiber rear spoiler, which improved this indicator, but at the same time the maximum speed of the supercar decreased.
No. 5: German Porshe 9ffGT9-R
The second half of the Top is opened by the monster Porshe 9ff GT9-R. Again, we have a representative of tuning, only the German auto industry. This Porshe is the fastest production car of the company. Its characteristics are no less striking than that of previous handsome men. An engine with a capacity of 1120 horses accelerates the device to 414 kilometers per hour. The appearance of the car is truly elegant and beautiful due to its shapes and bends. The company managed to reduce the weight of the GT9-R to 1600 kilograms due to carbon fiber and composite materials. German car makers have always been famous for the quality and beauty of their cars.
No. 4: auto for the SSC Ultimate Aero pros
The first representative of American production - SSC Ultimate Aero - entrenched in fourth place in our top ten fastest cars. At maximum speed, the sports car did not reach the Frenchman, just think, 1 km / h. This car, according to manufacturers, will not be able to drive everything. Only professional racers will be able to cope with a 6-liter engine with a capacity of 1287 forces. Acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour takes a little less than 3 seconds. The appearance of this handsome is remembered. Elegant non-standard door opening makes it special in its own way.
The most interesting thing is that this representative of our Top “stole” the chassis from the Lamborghini Diablo. You can even notice the resemblance of sports cars.
No. 3: Ceramic Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Frenchman Buggati Veyron Super Sport rightfully gets bronze. Its technical performance is only a fraction worse than that of a representative of American tuning. The hypercar, the cost of which is $ 2,400,000, with an engine capacity of 1,200 horsepower reaches a speed of 431 kilometers / hour.
In 2010, this model set its speed record and was considered the fastest production car in the world. The production of this version of Buggati is completed. For all the time the manufacturer was able to sell 450 units of Veyron. If you decide to become the owner of Super Sport, the company will send you to a special driving school to learn how to ride a monocoque from the French.
This car is known to a huge number of people, because its name has been heard for many years. Each collector of cars wanted to have a copy painted in ceramics in the garage.
No. 2: the miracle of tuning Hennessey Venom GT
In second place is the product of the American tuning company Hennesey Performance Engineering. The company specializes in changes to production cars. Hennessey Venom GT is based on the famous Lotus Exige. Employees of the tuning studio were able to place the engine from the Chevrolet Corvett ZR1 in the sports car with minor performance improvements. This unit accelerates to the limit of 435 km / h, which in its own way makes it one of the fastest cars. Compared to the power of the leader of our Top, the Hennesey Venom GT is inferior to him 260 horsepower. If you expressed a desire to buy a miracle tuning company, you will have to spend about 1 million US dollars.
No. 1: ultrafast Bugatti Chiron
In the first place on our list is the representative of the well-known French company Bugatti. This automaker has long been a leader among manufacturers of sports cars. The concern specializes exclusively in cars with a large reserve of horsepower.
The 2017 Bugatti Chiron is by far the fastest luxury car in the world. This sports car accelerates to 463 km / h. The most amazing thing is that a handsome man spends on it a little more than 3 seconds. All these indicators are achieved thanks to a 16-cylinder engine with a capacity of about 1,500 horsepower. Not surprisingly, the cost of this unit is almost 3 million US dollars.
It is noteworthy that even an unprofessional racer will be able to drive this car. Automatic speed control systems themselves recognize the driving style of the driver and adjust the performance of the machine.
Separately, you need to talk about one feature of the monocoque from Bugatti. The wing, which was designed by manufacturers, is automatically adjusted depending on the speed of the machine. In addition, it is an aerodynamic brake.
The thirst for speed is what drives all manufacturers of sports cars. Imagine for a second: before people moved at a speed of less than 30 kilometers per hour, and for them it was considered crazy. In the modern world, cars are capable of speeds up to 500 km / h. Although this is already far from the limit in the presence of models that overcome the speed of sound. But this is a topic for another conversation.
