We will not be caught up - these words have become the motto for many car enthusiasts who do not think their life without fast carsmobile. How fast? Judge for yourself - almost all our heroes, who are among the ten fastest cars on the planet, reach the coveted hundred kilometers per hour in less than 3 seconds. And their maximum speed exceeds not that that 300, and even 400 kilometers per hour. Impressive! So what kind of cars are they? It's time to get to know them better.

But at once we will underline that the rating of the 10 fastest cars in the world is very mobile. It is possible that right now the birth of another supercar, which in a few months will officially be recognized as the fastest on our planet. But all this will happen later. Well, for now, let's return to our impressive high-speed characteristics of the top ten.

10th place - «Ferrari LaFerrari»

And right away we start with a car that literally made a revolution in understanding how a supercar should be arranged. Namely with the Italian "stallion" Ferrari LaFerrari. The Italian hypercar is interesting already if only because it has not the usual gasoline, but a hybrid powerplant, about which even ten years ago the creators of such cars did not even dream. But now the tale became a reality. The Ferrari LaFerrari significantly outperforms all its Ferrari production models in terms of its dynamic characteristics.
If the same Ferrari Enzo, which is well-known as one of the fastest cars in the world, rides a circle on the track in Fiorano in 1 minute and 20 seconds, then Ferrari LaFerrari on the circle is required for as long as 5 seconds less. The advantage is enormous. Equally huge is the price of the inexpressibly fast Ferrari LaFerrari. For the work of automotive art they ask almost one and a half million euros. And from buyers there is no release. All 499 copies of the divine LaFerrari have already been sold.

9th place - «Porsche 918 Spyder»

But the Porsche 918 Spyder can be seen slightly more often than the Italian hypercar, as the Germans decided to focus on the model index and produce exactly 918 cars. The cost of each such car is very high. German hypercar will cost the buyer more than 770 thousand euros. And in the case of the Porsche 918 Spyder, fellow motorists will be amazed not only by the cost of the car itself, but also by its stunning fuel economy. The manufacturer assures that, under certain conditions, only 3.3 liters of fuel will be enough to overcome the hundred-kilometer section of the road. And yet the hypercar from Germany accelerates so quickly that you hardly have time to realize what is really happening - only 2.6 seconds and the cherished one is already on the speedometer.
  And let the fuel consumption, which Porsche declares, in real life will be an unattainable dream, but in any case Porsche 918 Spyder, if you do not forget that this car can rush at a speed of 345 km / h, it is very economical. And all thanks to two electric drives, which without the participation of a gasoline engine can accelerate this supercar to 150 km / h. So not only the Italians, but also the Germans have already put on the market an ultra-fast car with a hybrid power plant.

8th place - «McLaren P1»

Do not lag behind them and the British. The new McLaren P1 in addition to a volume of 3.8 liters has more electric motors and a battery pack. Only one energy of the batteries, which thanks to the regenerative braking system is replenished every time the brake pedal is pressed, the McLaren P1 is able to drive up to ten kilometers. Not a single drop of precious gasoline will not be wasted. But then ... It is necessary to press the accelerator pedal into the floor and after 16.5 seconds the McLaren P1 will reach three hundred kilometers per hour. And the overclocking will not end there. And the first hundred kilometers per hour the British supercar dials in just 2.8 seconds.

7th place - «Lamborghini Aventador LP700»

All the rest of our heroes have more familiar gasoline powerplants. But from this they do not become less fast and interesting. Is it possible to pass by the stunning Lamborghini Aventador LP700, which like a bull during the bullfight is ready to tear everything that comes in its way. And for this he has every reason.
  Gasoline engine volume of 6.5 liters, which after refinement develops more than 700 "horses", just scares its capabilities. Behind the wheel of an Italian supercar, there is a feeling that a wild acceleration will never end. What figures are we talking about? For a breakthrough to 100 kilometers per hour, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700 takes only 2.9 seconds. And this one. Every detail of it is a small piece of automotive art.

6th place - Saleen S7

By the way, not only European automobile manufacturers are able to create superfast cars. Americans also succeeded in this. Look at least beaming with its appearance Saleen S7, which is capable of accelerating to 400 km / h, and the limit of one hundred kilometers per hour overcomes after 3.3 seconds after the start. Just see in the parking lot at the supermarket, this supercar is only lucky. Already, the volumes of its production are rather insignificant.

5th place - "Bugatti Veyron"

But the Bugatti Veyron on unlimited German avtobanah meets with an enviable regularity. And in other parts of the world this supercar, which requires only 3.1 seconds to disperse to the cherished hundred kilometers an hour, occurs quite often. And all because to drive the Bugatti Veyron, whose engine power is 1020 horsepower, is not more difficult than the usual "charged" hatchback. So this car, whose high speed ceiling is 434 km / h, can also be called the most friendly supercar on the planet. And only its value is far from friendly. For Bugatti Veyron ask at least one and a half million euros.

4th place - "Koenigsegg CCXR"

The Swedish supercar Koenigsegg CCXR costs a little less, but it has equally impressive characteristics. Its engine, consuming not ordinary gasoline, but bioethanol, develops 1018 horsepower. In combination with a light aluminum body, this gives a top speed of 402 km / h. And up to 100 kilometers per hour the supercar from Sweden accelerates in just 3.1 seconds.

3 place - «SSC Ultimate Aero TT»

SSC Ultimate Aero TT is even more powerful and even faster. A small-scale American supercar is set in motion by an eight-cylinder engine with a capacity of 6.4 liters, which is powered by a turbo-supercharging of 1,183 horsepower. Naturally, with such a power unit SSC Ultimate Aero TT without any problems overcomes the mark of 400 km / h and stops its acceleration only when the speedometer needle stops at the mark of 421 km / h. They ask for the American "beast" relatively little - about 431 thousand dollars. The same Bugatti Veyron or Ferrari LaFerrari will cost several times more expensive.

2nd place - Hennessey Venom GT

But Hennessey Venom GT you can hardly buy. This car, which is actually based on a well-known fan of fast cars lotus Exige, was created not so that its creator could earn from its sale, but in order to show the capabilities of the American tuning studio Hennessey Performance Engieneering. And they, it should be noted, are impressive. Not for nothing Hennessey Venom GT even hit the Guinness Book of Records. It happened after the American supercar swapped the fourth hundred kilometers per hour after only 13.63 seconds after the start, and a few weeks later Hennessey Venom GT could accelerate to 427.6 km / h, which gave him the right to once again get into the famous book records.

1 st place - «SSC Tuatara»

The last hero of our magnificent ten is another American supercar SSC Tuatara. The prototype of this car was shown in 2011 in Chinese Shanghai, after which SSC Tuatara was demonstrated in the US, but they were not able to establish its serial production. So everyone who wants to buy this particular supercar will have to wait, but for now it's hoping that the eight-cylinder twin turbo engine, which develops 1,350 horsepower, will really be able to disperse this car to the manufacturer's promised 443 km / h.
  If, however, the claimed 2.5 seconds of acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour are true, then SSC Tuatara can safely be brought to the top of the rating of the 10 fastest cars in the world.

Which indicator is considered most important when it comes to sports cars? Well, of course, speed!

The first world record was set in 1898, when the Frenchman Gaston de Chaslule-Lobah dispersed his electric car to 63.15 km / h, passing a distance of 1 km. At that time it was the fastest car in the world.

Later, the manufacturers sought to create a car that could overcome the 300 km / h mark. Such cars are to this day, however, faster models have already appeared.

1. Bugatti Veyron SuperSport - 415 km / h
The world's fastest production car was created by the French manufacturer Bugatti

At the test site in Era-Lessin (Germany), he set a new one, accelerating to 431.6 km / h. A corresponding entry is in the Guinness Book of Records. True, in order to protect the tires, the maximum speed was limited to the manufacturer to 415.

Increase the power of the supercar to 1200 liters. from. managed by installing four enlarged turbochargers and so-called charge air coolers. In addition, the 16-cylinder engine develops a maximum torque of 1500 Nm. Air for its cooling comes through nipples installed on the roof.

Already, only one design of this sports car from Molsheim can be guessed about its advantages. It differs streamlined, elongated shape; the body is made of materials based on carbon fiber, and at the request of the client it can be covered with a transparent varnish.

2. Hennessey Venom GT - 418 km / h.

Venom GT, on which you can drive on public roads, accelerates to a maximum of 427 km / h. Officially, this is not yet confirmed, however, in January 2013 Texas Muscle-Car with a capacity of 1261 liters. from. proved his extraordinary abilities: he accelerated from place to three "hundreds" in 13.63 seconds, which even Bugatti is not capable of. Therefore, Venom GT is now considered its main competitor.

2. Koenigsegg Agera R - 418 km / h
It is expected that this car capacity of 1140 liters. In the next five years, too, will be a serious competition Bugatti.

Cars of new generation Agera R of the Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg are also included in the TOP of the fastest vehicles. However, to develop the maximum speed, which is 440 km / h, this serial sports car can not. Based on technical regulations for it was limited to 418.

Fans of winter sports can install on the Agera R ski boot and winter tires and calmly into the mountains.

3. SSC Ultimate Aero - The maximum speed is 413 km / h,

The company Shelby SuperCars - the creator of a huge number of cult cars (Mustang, Cobra). Although the owner of the company Carroll Shelby does not have to be a relative of the racer Jarod Shelby, who developed the legendary racing supercar, the new Ultimate Aero has something in common with him. It is also equipped with the Biturbin V8, which makes it even more powerful than the Koenigsegg. Indicators 1305 liters. from. and 1509 Nm. And this is enough to gain a speed of 100 km / h in 2.8 seconds. However, the specific weight Ultimate Aero loses the Swedish model.

Video top 10 fastest cars in the world

Before the appearance of Koenigsegg, this sports car for three years was the fastest in the world. In 2007, the record was confirmed by employees of the Guinness Book of Records. Perhaps, the next one will be installed by a new car Shelby SuperCars - SSC Tuatura, over which the company is now working.

3. 9ff GT9-R - 413 km / h
The GT9-R sports car was developed on the basis of Porsche 911 and released in a small series - only 20 units.

The child of the Dortmund tuning company 9ff travels only slightly slower than its competitors. Indicators of the two-turbine engine: 4 liters and 1120 liters. from.

At the client's request, the design can be modified. According to the manufacturer, in each case, the aerodynamics of the vehicle is optimized according to how the client intends to use it.

4. Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo - 399 km / h

About good cars, as well as good wine, we can say that they become with age only better. Saleen S7 in this list is one of the oldest. The model was developed 8 years ago, but thanks to its elegant beauty and excellent technical specifications  Saleen S7 for a long time will be in great demand.

Under the hood of the sports car SaleenS7, which accelerates to a proud 399 km / h, there is a two-turbine aluminum engine V8 of 750 horsepower.

5. Koenigsegg CCX - 394 km / h
CCX is not only the cheapest of the list, but also the most economical.

The Swedish car Koenigsegg CCX, which is the "older brother" of the AgeraR, is only slightly behind other sports supercars: its top speed is 394 km / h. Engine V8, the angle of the collapse of the cylinders is equal to 90 degrees, produces a breathtaking sound and provides a sharp acceleration of the machine.

In addition, the experts who attended the test drive for the cult transmission of Top Gear, were amazed by his extraordinary maneuverability.

6. McLaren F1 - 386 km / h

The fastest car of the 1990's has a 12-cylinder V12 from BMW and the original "Gull-wing" type doors.

This is one of the few three-seat sports cars, in which the engine is located in front of the rear axle. If you paint it black, then in style, he would perfectly fit a superhero Batman.

In 1997, the first computer game appeared, in which McLaren F1 was introduced.

7. Zenvo ST1 - 374 km / h

Its first supercar, the Danish company for the manufacture of sports cars, tried to make it quick and perfect. Its characteristics: a 7-liter V8 engine in 1104 liters. with., acceleration from 0 to the first "hundreds" - for 2.9 seconds, the maximum speed - 374 km / h.

In total, only 15 copies of Zenvo ST1 were produced. They are 100% made up of parts manufactured in Denmark.

8.Pagani Huayra - 370 km / h

This model is not without reason named after the legendary Indian god of winds Huayra-tata. The manufacturer was very anxious to create the fastest car, and therefore, in its development, much attention was paid to the aerodynamic characteristics.

Huayra - the successor of the legendary Zonda car. Available with a seven-speed semi-automatic transmission. Hidden under the hood 6-liter V12 from Mercedes AMG has a capacity of 720 horsepower.

9. Gumpert Apollo 362 km / h

The machine is equipped with a 4.2 liter V8 650 liter engine. from. and accelerates to a speed of 362 km / h.

Unfortunately, the enterprise is struggling now for survival. In mid-June 2013, the production of cars was stopped. True, for the time being it is temporary.

9. Noble M600 - 362 km / h

M600 - a great model, which is very noble design. This car is unique, light (1200 kg) and powerful (4.4-liter V8, 650 horsepower). According to the characteristics, it is similar to the previous model, with which he divided the 9th place.

Before the M600 was introduced to the public, experts said that it could compete with the top three in speed. However, now he is on the list only 9th place.

10. Aston Martin One-77 - 354 km / h

The cost of a car equipped with a 7-liter engine with 8 cylinders, reaches 1 million dollars. Power Venom is 1244 hp.

This handsome man has a Guinness record as (installed in July 2010 on the high-speed track Ehra-Lessien in Germany). On cars, sold to individuals, an electronic speed limit is set. You can not accelerate more than 415 km / h.

Auto power of 1200 hp you can buy for a staggering 2.4 million dollars!

There is no official proof that the Agera can travel at a stated speed of 439.3 km / h. On a small Swede is installed a 5-liter turbo engine with 8 cylinders, developing power up to 1140 hp. You can buy such a baby for $ 1.6 million.

4. 9ff GT9-R with a speed limit of 413.6 km / h is based on the Porsche 911 and is equipped with a 1120-horsepower engine, a volume of 4 liters.

The cost of such a four-wheeled friend compared to the above mentioned - more than a democratic: only 695 thousand dollars!

In September 2007, Aero was named the fastest in the world, and at that time it was the purest truth! SSC accelerated to 412.28 km / h, which confirmed the experts of the Guinness Commission. The engine of the steel bogatyr develops a capacity of 1,287 hp, thanks to a volume of 6.8 liters and 8 cylinders.

For the first time this car worth $ 2 million, the general public saw at the Geneva Motor Show 2012. This Bugatti was created to surpass the speed limit of 400 km / h. This is helped by a 16-cylinder engine with a volume of 8 liters and a power of 1200 hp, accelerating Vitesse to hundreds for an incredible 2.6 seconds!

The characteristics of this car are more modest than those of the previous participants in our rating. It is equipped with a 7-liter aluminum turbo engine with 8 cylinders, which develops power up to 750 hp. Saleen was produced in the period from 2005 to 2009, cost about 590 thousand dollars and accelerated to 100 in 2.8 seconds!

To date, the CCXR Trevita is the most expensive car, allowed for driving around the city. It costs 4.85 million dollars, while the usual CCX is sold on average for 545,000!

Another representative of the fastest cars in the world is equipped with a 6-liter BMW S70 / 2 V12 engine with a capacity of 618 hp. In 1998, on the already known German track Ehra-Lessien F1 showed a speed of 388.88 km / h, becoming the fastest of its time. Model 106 McLaren F1 came off the assembly line from 1992 to 1998.

The Dutch manufacturer Zenvo produces only three cars a year for sale exclusively in the US. Each car costs the customer $ 1.8 million, and as a gratitude for the acquisition you can get a watch worth $ 50 thousand.

Is not it really, very profitable! The ST1 is equipped with a 7-liter turbo engine with 8 cylinders with a power of 1250 hp, accelerating the Zenvo to hundreds in 3 seconds. To date, only 15 Zenvo ST1 have been produced.

German Apollo has a 4.2-liter Audi V8 engine. 641 hp (and for racing modifications - 789 hp). At the same time, the speed limit of the car is set at 362.1 km / h.

In test races, the One-77 demonstrates a speed of 352 km / h, and a 12-cylinder engine with a capacity of 7.3 liters. and a power of 750 hp. allows the machine to reach hundreds in 3.5 seconds.

On this iron horse, which has a speed of 354 km / h, installed the engine from the BMW V8 with a capacity of 625 hp. To create the A10 image, the private British production of Ascari Cars, owned by the Dutch millionaire Claas Zwart, hired Formula 1 designer Paul Brown.

It is the flagship of the Italian auto manufacturer. The Aventador has a 12-cylinder engine with a capacity of 6.5 liters, which develops power up to 690 hp. and a speed of up to 354 km / h, accelerating to hundreds in 2.9 seconds. Like the other Lamborghini models, this one was named after the bull and is released from 2011.

Each car of the series costs about 380 thousand dollars. In 2013, Veneno Lamborghini presented a modification of the Aventador 740 hp. Such handsome will be collected only three, and each will cost the buyer $ 3.12 million!

In the Zonda Cinque series, only 5 coupe and roadsters were created. On each installed motor AMG V12 volume of 7.3 liters and a power of 669 hp, allowing you to travel at a speed of 349.2 km / h.

The latest in our ranking of the fastest machines reaches hundreds in 3.6 seconds. This is helped by a 3.5-liter engine in six cylinders. From 1992 to 1994 281 XJ220 vehicles were assembled, and the manufacturer believed that on the straight line his offspring would be able to accelerate to 359 km / h, but tests conducted on the closed track Nardo Ring in Italy, this value did not reveal.

Machines are designed so that people can ride on them comfortably and without problems get to places at a great distance from each other. Sometimes the speed of this displacement solves many problems. But not every person is needed because he really often exceeds human needs.

Need for speed

Every year experts create the rating of the fastest cars. And after 12 months, it is becoming obsolete, as developers are starting to mass-produce more and more advanced models, which are put turbocharged engines with an incredible number of "horses."

In the top get cars, which for a few seconds are accelerated to a speed of 100 km / hour. But this is only one of the parameters. Perhaps the main thing is still the maximum speed that a good sports car can achieve.
Proceeding from this, as well as from engine power,  body aerodynamics and stability indicators on the road, we have the top-10 "The fastest cars". In the world they come through well-known auto shows and conquer the hearts of true connoisseurs of speed.

The slowest among the fastest

Let's start the rating review from below, from the slowest cars in the top ten fastest. Begins her Briton Ascari A10. This kid, thanks to 625 "horses" under the hood, for a hundred kilometers is for 2.8 seconds. The maximum speed limit is 354 km / h. To achieve such indicators, the developers used the eight-cylinder engine BMW.  Complementing this picture is the mechanical gearbox.

I must say a few words about the salon. Inside this monocoque of durable carbon fiber reinforced comfortable sports seats, air conditioning and fire extinguishing system, not to mention the standard options typical for these machines. Until recently, Ascari A10 could be called the "Fastest car in the world", but today it only closes this rating.

Ninth place is rightfully occupied sports car Noble M600, which has repeatedly received high marks in the car show "Top Gear." The power and speed of this handsome man directly depend on the Volvo engine, which is supplemented by a six-speed manual gearbox. It is produced in three trim levels - road, track and racing. Each of them has its own amount of horsepower. Concerning the indicators it is worth to say that at a mark of 100 km / h it will be in 3.1 seconds. after the start, and as much as possible can squeeze out 362 km / h with the engine power of 650 hp.

Speedy handsome men

The eighth step in the top 10 fastest cars in the world belongs to Pagani Huayra, which is so popular in the world of high-speed cars, which is very often found even in computer games. This Italian is equipped with a powerful engine from Mercedes for 733 "horses". It gives three whole and three tenths of a second for the acceleration to control 100 km / h, although the speed limit is 370 km / h. The body of the car is made of very light carbon fibers and strong titanium.

He practically did not fall behind the car, which also wanted to qualify for the title "The fastest car in the world", but only got to the seventh place in the rating.

Zenvo Automotive ST1 is a very ambiguous model. It is produced in Denmark not by the most famous manufacturer, which does not pay enough attention to the quality of assembling and equipment of the machine. In this case, under the hood, he has a 1104 hp engine, and the acceleration speed to hundreds - 3 seconds. The limit that can be squeezed out of this handsome man is 375 km / h. With such indicators of dynamics, its cost is not quite adequate and starts from 1.8 million dollars. In the market there are more successful models with a lower cost. Therefore, the sports car is only seventh.

Recent Top-10 Leaders

Model Mclaren F1 the last ten years is among the top ten in its class. This is the fastest production car, which regularly falls into the rating and periodically heads it.

A well-known British company is famous for working with powerful engines of German BMW. Specifically, this model on a speedometer of 100 km / h will show in 3.2 seconds at a top speed of up to 392 km / h. Among the records of Mclaren F1 is worth noting its lightness. Today it is the leader with the index of only 1137 kg. And all thanks to the body of carbon fiber and titanium. But although it is the easiest sport car, it takes the sixth place and can not get the title "The fastest production car".

Just in the middle of the rating is Saleen S7 Twin Turbo with an improved engine for 1000 hp. This gives him the ability to drive at speeds up to 399 km / h. Body parts are made of aluminum and carbon fiber. This significantly reduces the acceleration time, which is two whole and eight tenths of a second to the reference speed.

Auto is better than average

It's not that the Koenigsegg Agera R is the fastest car in the world today. But he rightfully occupies the fourth position in the rating. The country-producer of this masterpiece is Sweden. And although the model is considered serial, it is produced in a limited number, which is slightly higher than the figure of 30 copies.

Car enthusiasts know the earlier model Koenigsegg Agera R, on the basis of which this masterpiece of the automotive industry was made. The first improvement was a new turbocharged engine. At the output, it gives 1140 hp, which is almost impossible to measure. Stability on the road improved due to the new suspension. And the updated wings increased the performance of aerodynamics, increasing the downforce of the machine. As a result, we have 410 km / h with an acceleration speed of up to hundreds of kilometers in 60 minutes in just three seconds without one-tenth.

Machine from the Guinness Book of Records

In two thousand and seven, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT accelerated to a world record among high-speed cars with a conventional engine. However, over time he was beaten by other models. But to this day, this car remains in the top five fastest. In the future, the designers of this brand promise to release an improved model that will give a speed exceeding 440 km / h and lead the top 10 "The fastest cars", to the world of which developers are getting harder every year.

Today, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT is a car with an unrivaled futuristic design and excellent speed and dynamics. Under the hood of this baby is the engine from Chevrolet to 6.3 liters. The limit of its speed is 412 kilometers per hour, and to 100 it will accelerate in 2.8 seconds.

The best of the best

The second place is rightly located Veyron Super Sport. The manufacturer of it is the famous firm Bugatti. This masterpiece is produced in France. High dynamics and speed are achieved due to the engine W16 volume of eight liters. At the output, it gives as much as 1200 horsepower, which is almost impossible to imagine. This handsome man is accelerated to a control hundred kilometers in just two eight-tenths of a second and can drive at speeds up to 417 km / h.
Among the significant shortcomings of the machine is to call it a large mass for this class cars.  It is 1838 kilograms. The designers tried to reduce it a little due to the carbon details, but they did not quite succeed.

Despite this, a few years ago was named "The fastest car in the world", which was exactly Veyron Super Sport. But over time, he had to give the palm to the even more worthy leader, who is already in shaky position, as there are announcements for the appearance of more nimble cars.

The fastest car in the world according to the latest data

Heads the top 10 Hennessey Venom GT from the British corporation Hennessey Performance Engineering. The power unit of this model is equipped with a powerful double turbo. Engine capacity  only 6.2 liters, but this does not prevent him from producing 1244 hp. The limiting speed is 435 km / h, which is considered an unprecedented indicator for production cars. And the time of dispersal to the control hundred kilometers per hour does not exceed two whole seven tenths of a second. This car is for real connoisseurs of great speed and comfort during the movement. True, few can buy it, since its value exceeds $ 1 million.
This is how the fastest cars in the world look today, the rating of which is constantly updated and changing. So, it is already known that the improved model SSC Ultimate Aero 6.3 V-8 still managed to accelerate to a speed of 443 km / h, which can be considered an absolute world record. In 2015, it goes into mass production and gives rise to the next time to review the top-10 fastest cars in the world.

Why make a non-speedy super-fast car? After all, in practice, it is almost impossible to reach the transcendental speed - either it is prohibited by law due to the existing traffic rules, or it is simply impossible because there are no high-quality roads and special closed tracks where the elite are allowed and, of course, not free.

Demand, however, determines the offer. On piece supercars, as a scarce model for "mere mortals." The rich have their quirks.

The executive director of Bugatti Franz Josef Pefgen at the premiere of Super Sport said the following phrase describing the target audience of such cars: "The crisis can not prevent the client from giving up buying Bugatti for financial reasons."

10. Ascari A10 and Pagani Zonda F

The tenth place in the ranking is taken by a pair of models with the same maximum speed at 345 km / h. At the "British" Ascari, released in honor of the 10th anniversary of the revived brand, the acceleration from 0 to 97 km / h takes less than three seconds, the famous "Italian" - 3.5 seconds.

9., Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster, Ferrari Enzo, Jaguar XJ220

Up to 350 km / h, four different models can be dispersed, again Italian and British. Logically, the fastest on the "hundred-meter" - only 2.9 s - is the newest Lamborghini, equipped with a 6.5-liter unit V12. For half a second (3.4 seconds), the open Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster with Merced engine (AMG Turbo V12) and veteran Ferrari Enzo with a 6.0-liter 48-valve unit, also with 12 cylinders, lag behind. Already the pensioner Jaguar XJ220, released back in 1991, can still show young people how to ride - sprint up to 96 km / h takes 3.6-3.8 seconds due to low weight and 550 hp.

A little-known British supercar with a body combining stainless steel and carbon, weighs less than 1300 kg and accelerates to 97 km / h in 3.7 seconds (in Road mode). It is interesting that the Yamaha eight-cylinder M600 motor is used in such a "civilized" and far from unsportsmanlike model as the Volvo XC90. The main difference is a pair of supercharged Garrett superchargers, whereby the driver can vary the output of the unit (up to 659 hp) and gain a top speed of 358 km / h.

The only German in this rating, Apollo is the first model developed by the ex-Audi engineer, who created the Gumpert brand in the name of himself. The V8 engine, actually, is Stuttgart, available in three versions (650, 700 and 800 hp) works with a six-speed box and accelerates the supercar to "hundreds" in three seconds at a top speed of 360 km / h.

The brainchild of Gordon Murray, McLaren F1 in the 90's was considered "the king of roads" and is still among the ten fastest cars in the world. The maximum speed that was officially registered in 1998 was 372 km / h with a speed limiter and 391 km / h without it. By the way, Rowan Atkinson's favorite supercar, which he, is not the first time. But the safety of the model at the level - the comedian lives and lives.

The Swedish "monster" with a 4.7-liter "charged eight", CCX (Competition Coupé X) was conceived as an export car for sophisticated Americans and, like Ascari A10, became the anniversary model of the brand. The body of the two-door car is unusual - the targa, with a removable roof, which can be removed and hidden in the front trunk. With Ford 32-valve engine DOHC V8 power of 817 hp the car starts at 100 km / h in 3.2 s, 200 km / h in 9.8 s. The maximum speed is approaching four hundred (395 km / h).

Steve Salin gathered a company of professionals and developed a purely American carbon supercar, which can be put on a par with famous European counterparts. Initially, the S7 had an atmospheric engine, but in 2005 a turbo version of 760 hp came out. Acceleration from 0 to 70 km / h takes only 2.8 seconds, the maximum speed is 399 km / h, and a distance of a quarter of a mile Saleen with a six-speed box passes for 10.5 seconds.

3. SSC Ultimate Aero

American analog Bugatti Veyron, which, in fact, this model and transferred in 2010 the title of the fastest serial car  In the world, as recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. Tests in the wind tunnel showed that the Ultimate Aero is theoretically able to develop 439 km / h with, but this with the ideal transmission ratios for the transmission. In practice, the real gearbox limits the potential of the model 418 km / h. The sprint from 0 to 97 km / h takes a fraction of a second more than that of Veyron -2.78 s vs. 2.46 s, respectively.

) and seriously set out to be the first.
