![]() To beat SSC’s Ultimate Aero, Bugatti slapped bigger turbos and intercoolers on their previous world-record-holding Veyron to produce a seriously impressive 1,200 horsepower. Since the much less powerful Veyron SS below hit over 268 mph with the speed limiter removed, we’re going to just fudge it a little bit and pretend the Chiron is officially faster. So, how fast can the Chiron go? Nobody knows for sure (or dares try), but the speedometer goes up to 500 km/h (about 311 mph). Michelin says they’re working on it, but until tire tech can catch up, don’t expect top speeds to go much past 280 mph. Simply put, nobody’s built a tire that can handle speeds in excess of 280 mph. The top speed of the Bugatti Chiron – 261 mph – is electronically limited due to safety. The Chiron carries over the same 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine as the Veyron but is modified to produce (quite a bit) more power.īut here’s the interesting part. #4: Bugatti Chironīugatti, never one to back down from a top-speed fight, built the Chiron as a successor to the already world-record-breaking Veyron Super Sport (below). As far as Hennessey goes, all eyes are now on the Venom F5 Revolution, which has the potential to shake things up on this list. Hennessey claims the Venom GT can reach a top speed of 278 mph if given a bit more room to do it. This beast can go from zero to 100 mph in 5.6 seconds (a world record) and hit 200 mph from a stop in only 14.51 seconds (also a world record). Sporting a twin-turbo 7.0-liter V8 producing a massive 1,244 horsepower, the Venom GT beat a world record set by the Koenigsegg Agera R as the fastest accelerating production car in the world when it did a run from zero to 186 mph in 13.63 seconds. This hypercar from Texas-based Hennessey is an impressive machine, to say the least. Koenigsegg said goodbye to the Agera in mid-2018 with two final examples named Thor and Väder. However, 11 lucky owners were able to (theoretically) hit the top speed of 277 due to checking the “1MW” special package when ordering theirs, which increases the ponies to 1,341. Powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the “normal” Agera RS produces 1,160 horsepower (on regular pump gasoline, mind you). There were only 25 examples of the Agera RS produced. It’s an Agera R at heart, with some of the advanced tech of the One:1 and some of the Agera S sprinkled in for good measure. The Koenigsegg Agera RS is a hybrid of sorts (no, not that kind of hybrid). The SSC Tuatara is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter V8 producing 1,350 horsepower using 91 octane gas and 1,750 horses if you slip in some E85 juice. But that record wasn’t official, apparently, so they went back and did another run in January 2021, this time officially grabbing the record at 282.9 mph. On October 10th, 2020, the SSC Tuatara managed to claim the title of the world’s fastest production vehicle by clocking an average run of 316.11 mph (508.73 kph), also claiming the title for the first production car to break the 500 kph barrier. Created by American supercar maker SSC (formerly Shelby SuperCars, no relation to Caroll Shelby), the Tuatara not only beat the next fastest supercar on the list but blew it out of the water (or salt flats, as it were.) We’ve been hearing about SSC’s Tuatara since at least 2011. All the cars you would expect are here, ranked from fastest to slowest (though calling any of these slow is blasphemy.) And to clarify, yes, all of these cars are street-legal. Here is a list of the 10 fastest production cars in the world ranked by top speed. It takes lots of engineering genius to move so quickly down a strip of pavement without falling apart. ![]() Zero to 60 is probably the most realistic, everyday performance benchmark, but there’s no better ultimate ranking factor than top speed – the most no holds barred, balls-to-the-wall stat a supercar can have. ![]()
