Top 10 Fastest Car in the world | Super Cars | 2021
Supercars in 2021 is not the only car that runs faster but smarter and less with automatic features. Here is the world's fastest car top 10 lists updated in 2021.
10. McLaren Speedtail
As the official successor to the McLaren F1, McLaren’s Speedtail lives up to that historic model’s heritage with three critical features. First, it’s got the F1’s trademark central driver’s seat. Second, it’s got serious horsepower - 1036 to be exact - courtesy of its twin-turbocharged V8 working in conjunction with an electric motor. Finally, and most appropriately, it lives up to the “speed” portion of its name, with a
Top speed of - 250 mph.
Price - $2.25 Million
The Bugatti Veyron made headlines when it shattered top speed records in 2005. Equipped with a massive 8.0-liter W16 engine with four turbochargers, it boasts an awe-inspiring 1,001 horsepower. That’s an incredible force, which requires a robust 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and permanent all-wheel drive to harness. An excess of luxury features, plus high-tech safety and aerodynamic systems, explain the Veryon’s massive size, but the 4,200-pound supercar is still blistering fast, hitting 60 mph in 2.5 second and a
Top speed - 253 mph.
8. SSC Ultimate Aero TT
After 10 years, and multiple engine configurations, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT was fitted with a twin-turbocharged Corvette V8 capable of nearly 1,200 horsepower. This version established a Guinness World Record in 2007 when it averaged 256 mph on a closed course in Washington state. SSC has since started production of the Tuatara, with a claimed, and yet-to-be-confirmed, top speed of 300 mph.
6. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Bugatti’s Veyron Super Sport was produced in a limited run of just 30 units. The Super Sport has 184 more horsepower and improved aerodynamics compared to the standard Veyron, allowing it to hit 267 mph. This was enough to earn Veyron Super Sport a Guinness record as the world’s fastest production car in 2010.
5. Hennessey Venom GT
The American-made Hennessey Venom GT is a low-volume supercar based on a Lotus Exige chassis. Comprehensively engineered to keep the 2,700-pound Venom as light as possible, the carbon-fiber bodied platform boasts an active aero system for high-speed stability. Fitted with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the rear-wheel-drive Venom develops up to 1,244 horsepower. That’s enough to get the Venom GT up to 270 mph.
4. Koenigsegg Agera R
Following up on his CC series, Koenigsegg debuted an all-new model in 2011, dubbed the Agera. A 5.0-liter modular Ford V8 engine, making 947 horsepower, delivered a top speed of 249 mph. But while the Agera topped out at 249 mph, the later Agera R, with improved power and aerodynamics, ran a certified top speed of 273 mph, making it the world’s fastest production car in 2011.
3. Koenigsegg Agera RS
Following the more is better mantra, Koenigsegg added more power and air-cheating wizardry to the Agera RS in 2015. Now sporting a 1,341 horsepower V8 engine and benefitting from reduced weight, the Agera RS achieved an average two-way speed of 278 mph in the Nevada desert.
2. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+
Bugatti has figured out the formula for ultimate top speed… add horsepower, reduce mass, and tweak aerodynamics. The Chiron Super Sport 300+ features an 8-liter, quad-turbo, W16 engine boosted to 1,577 horsepower. Magnesium wheels and titanium exhaust help shed unnecessary mass. Combine the power increase and weight loss with revised aerodynamics, and the Super Sport 300+ is able to break through the hallowed 300 mph barrier, hitting a certified 304.7 mph.
1. SSC Tuatara
Breaking the 300-mph mark wasn’t enough for the folks at SSC, who began engineering their top-speed entry back in 2009. The Tuatara, named after a New Zealand lizard, features a sleek carbon fiber body. It’s powered by 5.9-liter flat-plane-crank V8 making 1,750 horsepower when run on E85 ethanol. Using a closed highway near Pahrump, Nevada, the SSC Tuatara managed a one-way run of 330 mph, despite tricky cross-winds. Combined with a previous run of 301 mph, the Tuatara’s two-way average, as certified by Guinness, is 316 mph, making it the fastest street-legal production car in the world. At least for now.
