TOP 10 fastest cars on the planet

"The fastest car in the world is a leasing car!" - so says the infamous now ex-leader of Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson. However, there are actually existing cars on our planet that can even compete with airplanes. And some of them are serial ...

The editors of Auto.TSN have compiled a rating of the fastest cars on Earth, which have outstanding dynamic characteristics and develop an impressive top speed. Note that the list includes both new and rather old models. Also in the rating were cars that exist in a single copy.

But! We did not include in the list models created to set certain records. In general, read and be surprised ...

10. ArielatomV8 500

Ariel Atom – by no means the fastest car in terms of top speed. This British sports car with a capacity of 475 forces is capable of accelerating to just 275 km / h. This is very modest and comparable even to the characteristics of charged golf-class hatchbacks.

But! A machine with the name of a well-known washing powder can impress with other parameters. Thanks to its ultra-low weight, this car is able to squeeze into the seat so that the roller coaster will seem like fun for beginners.

Still ... from 0 to 100 km / h Ariel Atom V8 accelerates in 2.5 seconds. As a result - an honorable (albeit from the end) place in the ranking of the fastest cars. The circulation of the V8 modification is 25 pieces.

9. SSCTuatara

This sports car impresses not only externally. According to its characteristics, it can surprise even the most spoiled sheikhs and oligarchs. The maximum speed is 431 km/h! Acceleration to hundreds - 2.8 seconds. SSC Tuatara is an American creation of Shelby Supercars, so it is not surprising that this supercar both rides and eats.

According to the manufacturer, which promises to start issuing the Tuatara in June 2015, this car consumes about 70 liters of fuel in "all money" mode. If you drive at maximum speed - almost twice as much. But this is logical: a 6.9-liter engine with two compressors with a capacity of 1369 forces cannot be economical ...

8. KoenigseggOne:1

The Swedish hypercar Koenigsegg One:1 got its name for a reason. The fact is that its specific power is 1: 1 to the curb weight. By the way, this power is 1360 hp. Thanks to this amount of “horses”, the car can accelerate to a very impressive maximum speed, which is 440 km / h.

This makes the One:1 one of the fastest cars on the planet. True, her acceleration to hundreds is not so outstanding - 2.8 seconds to 100 km / h. There are cars that are more dynamic, so the Swedes are in 8th place. Circulation - only 6 copies worldwide.

7. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport "World Record Edition"

Before us is the king of the roads, which is considered the fastest production car in the world. Modification Super Sport "World Record Edition" is capable of developing 431.072 km / h and gaining the first 100 kilometers per hour in 2.4 seconds. It's very, very impressive.

But the most important thing is that, unlike most of its competitors, Veyron can be driven even by someone who has just completed a driving course. So clear and easy to drive this car. Well, at least that's what they say in the Volkswagen concern, which includes the Bugatti brand.

6. SSCUltimateAeroXTEdition

This is a real Bugatti ultimatum. After all, the SSC Ultimate Aero XT Edition is faster than the most charged Veyron. The officially recorded maximum speed is 439.3 km / h. True, in terms of acceleration dynamics, the American supercar is inferior to the Bugatti Veyron - 2.65 s to 100 km / h. Well, okay. But SSC is almost one and a half times cheaper. And more exclusive, by the way.

5. OrcaEngineeringSC7

This Swiss (!) car is slower than Bugatti, SSC and Koenigsegg. It can accelerate to 400 km / h and gain the first hundred in 2.6 seconds. What is he doing in the middle of the rankings? Everything is very simple. The Orca Engineering SC7 was built long before the big names in supercars made models with 400+ top speeds.

Whereas this "Orc" appeared in 2003. It is a pity that as it appeared, it disappeared. The company was liquidated due to low demand for its cars, of which a total of 7 copies were produced.

4. HennesseyVenomGT

There is such a car in the garage of the Aerosmith vocalist. And not just like that ... before us is the killer of all possible and impossible small-scale supercars. Venom GT can develop 440 km / h, and to overcome the first hundred it needs 2.4-2.5 seconds.

3. MoslerMT900 GTRXX " Landshark"

Let's start with the fact that the cost of this supercar starts from 329 thousand dollars. For that kind of money, you can only do maintenance of the Veyron ... seriously, this is really one of the most affordable supercars, which, nevertheless, is able to compete with a fighter going to take off.

The maximum speed is 490.837 km/h! Acceleration to hundreds - no more than 2.5 s. By the way, an interesting fact. Mosler MT900GTR weighs less than "Slavuta", and its creator claims that such a machine can overcome the mark of 600 km/h. Did he do it himself? Certainly unknown.

2. Keating TKR

This machine was created by a not quite "normal" Briton and his associates in 2009. Anthony Keating wanted to make the perfect and fastest sports car. As a result, the car received a 1832 hp engine. The maximum speed is 419 km / h.

Relatively little, which the authors themselves do not deny, but what an acceleration to hundreds! 1.78 seconds ... and this is at a declared price of 250 thousand pounds. True, the matter did not go further than loud statements. The company never achieved recognition. At least for now.

1. Devel Sixteen

If there really is a diabolical supercar, its name is Devel Sixteen. On its body you can see the label "Made in Dubai". And there, as you know, there is as much oil as there are supercars per square kilometer. Therefore, it is quite logical that it is in the UAE that the most powerful and fastest car of those that (in theory) can be used on public roads has been created.

It is equipped with a 16-cylinder engine with a capacity of 5000 (!) HP, which accelerates this car to 560 kilometers per hour. Claimed acceleration to 100 km / h - 1.8 s. How much does it cost and can it be bought? They say yes, but the manufacturer's website flaunts the inscription "In development". So, while the point is yes, save money, gentlemen ...
