A list of the fastest cars in the world

Speed has mesmerised mankind since humans have been on the planet. From the invention of the wheel to supersonic aeroplanes, travelling faster means being able to perform more tasks more efficiently, as well as giving you an advantage over those who have to move slower. If you love speed and adrenaline, then you will surely love live dealer games .

Below you will find a complete list of the fastest cars in the world. In this article we will discuss their equipment, speed and design. Here we go!!!

SSC Tuatara

We have been hearing about the SSC Tuatara since at least 2011. Created by American supercar manufacturer SSC (formerly Shelby SuperCars, no relation to Carroll Shelby), the Tuatara has not only surpassed the next fastest supercar on the list, but has taken it out of the game.

On 10 October 2020, the SSC Tuatara managed to claim the title of the world's fastest production car, accelerating to an average of 316.11 mph (508.73 km/h), also claiming the title of the first production car to break the 500 km/h barrier. But apparently that record wasn't official, so they went back and did another run in January 2021, this time officially holding the record at 282.9 mph.

The SSC Tuatara is powered by a 5.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 1,350 horsepower using 91 octane petrol and 1,750 horsepower.

Koenigsegg Agera RS

The Koenigsegg Agera RS is a hybrid of sorts. At its core, it is an Agera R, with some advanced One: 1 technology and some Agera S elements added for extra convincing.

Only 25 examples of the Agera RS were produced. Powered by a 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the 'regular' Agera RS produces 1,160 horsepower (on regular petrol, mind you). However, 11 lucky owners were able to (theoretically) reach a top speed of 277 horsepower by checking the special "1 MW" package when ordering, which increases the pony count to 1,341.

Koenigsegg said goodbye to the Agera in mid-2018, releasing its last two examples under the name Thor and Väder.

Hennessey Venom GT

This hypercar from Texas-based Hennessey is impressive to say the least. Powered by a 7.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 1,244 horsepower, the Venom GT broke the world record held by the Koenigsegg Agera R as the fastest accelerating production car in the world, going from zero to 186 mph in 13.63 seconds.

This beast can accelerate from zero to 100mph in 5.6 seconds (a world record) and hit 200mph from a standing start in just 14.51 seconds (also a world record). Hennessey claims that the Venom GT could reach a top speed of 278 mph if given a little more room to do so. As for Hennessey, all eyes are now on the Venom F5 Revolution, which could potentially make a change to this list.

Bugatti Chiron

Bugatti, which never backs down from a battle for top speed, has built the Chiron as a successor to the already world record breaking Veyron Super Sport (below). The Chiron is powered by the same 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine as the Veyron, but modified to make (just a little) more power.

But here's the most The International interesting part. The top speed of the Bugatti Chiron - 261 miles per hour - is limited by electrics for safety reasons. Put simply, no one has yet created a tyre capable of reaching speeds in excess of 280mph. Michelin says they're working on it, but until tyre technology can catch up, don't expect top speeds in excess of 280mph.

So, how fast can the Chiron go? Nobody knows for sure (or dares to try), but the speedometer hand goes up to 500 kilometres per hour (about 311 mph). Since the much less powerful Veyron SS pictured below hit 268mph with the speed limiter removed, we'll just pretend for a bit that the Chiron is officially faster.

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

To surpass the SSC Ultimate Aero, Bugatti уѕtuped more powerful turbos and intercoolers on its previous world record-breaking Veyron, producing a truly impressive 1,200 horsepower. The Veyron SS still has the same 8.0-litre W16 quad-turbocharged engine, but with 200 more horsepower. To cope with the extra speed and power, Bugatti also had to redesign the chassis and suspension.

Only 30 Veyron Super Sport models were produced. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the top speed of the production cars was limited to 258mph by the electric car, even though the speed limiter has been removed, the top speed is still valid. We just wish they'd let the Chiron do the same.

SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

Boutique supercar manufacturer Shelby SuperCars (SSC) launched the Ultimate Aero in 2007, breaking the top speed record of the more expensive Bugatti Veyron. The car in question was a 2007 model year - since then SSC has upgraded the Aero by stupendously upgrading it with an all-new twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 1,287 horsepower, giving the car a theoretical top speed of 290 mph.

SSC says that given a long enough road, they could get the car up to 270 mph. That would break the Veyron record again, so let's see if they ever get to that point.
