What is the fastest race in the world. The fastest cars in the world. Rating of the most high-speed cars.

The desire to move swiftly, to overcome for a moment great distances was always peculiar to man. For this, probably, the first, primitive forms of transport were developed. Now the mechanisms that cause a smile have turned into powerful cars that could even reach the speed of light. And, interestingly, the speed record does not remain unchanged. The indicator is constantly changing, new models of cars are being developed. At the moment, speed cars are cars that overcome 300 km per hour. But the designers are already preparing the riders for the fact that the average speed of the high-speed car will be higher.

How are record cars defined?

There are certain rules, according to which departures are conducted to establish a speed record. Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records should be present during the experiment. According to their rules, the car must pass through one and the other side, so that the force of the wind does not affect the index, it will be the average of the two speeds.

But the list of the fastest cars is made by other appraisers, according to their methodology. For example, such criteria may be taken into account.

1. For the experiment, serial cars are used that are intended for general routes. If tests are conducted only in this category, the evaluation is objective.
2. Among cars with the same record speed, the priority is given to the one that accelerates faster.

It is difficult to make a single and accurate list of the fastest cars. After all, the champion can be determined and among sports models, they have different indicators, different from cars for common roads. The list is compiled not only by representatives of the famous Book of Records, but also specialized magazines for motorists.

High-speed cars

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport at the training ground in Era-Lessin, located in Germany, accelerated to 431 km / h. Representatives of the Guinness Book successfully confirmed the record, made it the goal of achievement for many. What helped the car to achieve a record high?

1. Masters of the manufacturer's company decided to install four enlarged turbochargers, as well as efficient air coolers.
2. Another design difference is the presence of a 16-cylinder engine, which was able to develop a very high torque (1500 Nm).
3. Experts worked on the design of the car, it acquired the most streamlined shape, carbon fiber is used for the production of the body.

The speed of 413 km / h is the record of SSC Ultimate Aero from Shelby SuperCars. This company is the creator of many luxury, famous cars, because who has not heard of the Cobra or the chic Mustang model. What are the distinguishing features of the new record holder?

1. The presence of the turbine V8.
2. The record is not only speed, but also indicators such as 1305 hp, the ability to gain 100 km per hour in only 2.8 seconds.

At the same speed, the luxury, stylish GT9-R sports car can be carried along the track, which is the result of the talent and skill of the specialists of their tuning company 9ff. Dortmund professionals have created a car, perfect for its technical performance and design. But it, if you want the buyer, the owner of the car, you can modernize, for specific needs, a specific style of riding.

Koenigsegg Agera R is the result of the work of the specialists of the Swedish company Koenigsegg. The record of its record speed is 418 km / h. It is interesting that the car can be used even for a winter trip to the mountains, for this you need only equip it with a boot for winter sports equipment.

Initially, the McLaren had a speed of only 371.8 km / h. It was very high, but not record. Over time, the car was able to improve its performance. The manufacturer, the British company, did not take long to produce the model, from 1992 to 1998. Nevertheless, the car still occupies a worthy place among high-speed cars. What distinguishes McLaren?

1. High speed and reliability.
2. Unusual, unique location of the cabin. The driver has an excellent viewpoint, since his chair is in the middle (in front of the cabin).

Magnificent, luxurious design features Noble M600C. Among the unique characteristics are the following.

1. Very light weight, only 1200 kg.
2. The high power, which provides 4.4 liter V8, the presence of 650 forces (horsepower).

This car is not in the top five leaders in speed, but it falls into the top ten fastest, closes it. On such a car you can travel not only on special routes, but also on ordinary highways, because for this it is not necessary to develop the maximum speed.

Excellent speed indicators for the Pagani Huayra. The car was introduced back in 2011, but at the moment its technical characteristics, power, strength, design are relevant. Manufacturers have limited the number of models produced, this number is only twenty samples. But, given the cost of cars (within a million dollars), this output is sufficient. Technical features.

1. 12-cylinder twin-turbo engine. Its producers borrowed from Mercedes Benz.
2. Has an excellent speed on a straight line.
3. The record speed is 370 km / h.

The record holder from Denmark is ST1 Zenvo. The car is characterized by a 7-liter V8-engine. There is such a car, developing speed of 375 km / h, 1.8 million dollars.

Some cars for years keep their place in the top ten fastest. It's about Saleen S7. One of the speed recorders was eight years ago. Since then, it is still powerful, impetuous, in demand. She is interested in motorists who are able to appreciate stylish design, graceful beauty, excellent technical characteristics. Over the years, it seems, it becomes even more attractive. What is hidden under his hood Saleen S7?

1. Two-turbine engine.
2. 750 horsepower.
3. The engine is made of high-strength aluminum.

One of the most long-awaited cars was the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. Its speed may not be as high as that of other hypercar, just 350 km / h. But the car is luxurious, very dynamic, it does not leave anyone indifferent. To excellent technical indicators can be attributed.

1. 700 horsepower.
2. Engine V12.

And what about the list high-speed cars can do without the luxury Italian Ferrari Enzo. It is one of the most luxurious, brightest cars in the world. It has a 12-cylinder engine running on gasoline, with a volume of 60 liters. The power of the car is 660 horsepower. The Italian can develop a great speed, 350 km / h. And it catches such speed in only 3.6 seconds.

A lot of effort was spent on creating a high-speed car and specialists from Gumpert, the result was the sports car Apollo. According to the developers, they gave drivers a car that can drive through the inner surface of the tunnel. The only thing to confirm this yet. Some data about the car.

1. The speed of the car is up to 362 km / h.
2. Installed 4.2 liter engine type V8.
3. Capacity - 650 horsepower.

The enterprise, which produced this car, at the moment is going through hard times, its production is suspended. But lovers of sports cars should hope that this situation is temporary.

New perspectives for speed lovers

For some time, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was considered the record-breaking speed among cars. But technology does not know the limit to perfection, talented designers are always looking for opportunities to beat their own records. And in place of one car, a new car comes to the record holder. At the moment, high hopes are placed on the car Hennessey Venom GT, the honorary title of the fastest car belongs to him. Producers plan to produce three units of this brand, the price of each will be estimated at a million and a quarter of dollars. To emphasize the country of the manufacturer, it is planned to use the colors of the American flag in the design of the car.
Technical characteristics of the new champion:

1. It can reach speeds of up to 434.3 km / h. This is confirmed by very solid witnesses - representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.
2. For 13.63 seconds the car can accelerate to 300 km / h.
3. The charged V8 twin-turbo engine is characterized by a volume of 7.0 liters, and its capacity is 1244 liters. from.
4. In order to make a light car capable of gaining record speed, materials such as aluminum and carbon were used.
5. The weight of the machine, thanks to such fabrication materials, is only 1244 kg.

Auto assembling is done manually, which increases its value, as well as reliability. The speed of a new, luxury car is listed in the popular book of records. But a little time will pass, and a new record will appear, about a new high-speed champion.

Interesting information for fans of high-speed cars

1. The first time the speed of the car was considered record in 1895. It happened on the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race.
2. His first electric car record set in 1899. The speed was 63.14 km / h. Such an indicator was the first one registered.
3. It is difficult to imagine, but on a specially designed car, even the speed of sound was overcome. This happened in 1979, at an airbase in the state of California. The car had two engines, one with a draft of 9900, the second with a thrust of 2000 kgf. Unfortunately, during the experiment certain rules were violated, which prevented the registration of a record. In order for the speed to get into the Guinness Book, it was necessary to make two arrivals, in opposite directions. Some historians question the record due to the fact that the radar for setting the indicators, was aimed at the car manually.
4. In 1997 the maximum speed was reached, for a record a jet car was used. This speed was, even hard to imagine, 1226.5 km / h. The car moved by turbojet engines from the Rolls-Royce, which was installed pair.
5. There are among the record and the representative of the weaker sex - American Kitty Hambleton was able to disperse her car to 843.32 km / h.

The fastest car in the world accelerates to 435 km / h

The main task of cars is to move the person to the destination quickly and comfortably.

Which of the fastest cars in 2015 did you like the most? Share your opinion in

Ever since childhood, the most fascinating and impressive indicator of the car is its maximum speed. Once machines hit a limit of 160 km / h, then - 200, 300 ... As a result, the technical genius easily brought this limit to 430 km / h and even higher. Who is the fastest today? To answer this question, as it turns out, is difficult, because the challenger for the crown is at least two.

What is the name of the fastest road car in 2017-2018?

The current record holder is Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. This is one of the most expensive (from $ 2.5 million) and luxury cars of our time. And his genealogy confirms that in the DNA of this beast there are many victories of world famous racers of the last century. After the acquisition of the French company Bugatti by Volkswagen AG, the Germans set out to take revenge against the British and Italians, setting a new speed record among road cars. As a result, the goal was achieved, and the authoritative BBC Top Gear telecast recognized the hypercar as "the best car of the century".

The official test run to determine the maximum speed of this coupe was made on July 4, 2010, at the test range of Volkswagen, in Germany. At the wheel was a test pilot Pierre-Henri Rafanel. According to the regulations of the Guinness Book of Records, the car had to travel the distance first to one side of the track, then to the other. The offset was the average of the "maximum".

The first roll, from south to north, showed figures at 266 miles per hour. In the opposite direction, "Bugatti" was accelerated to a speedometer mark of 270 miles. As a result of the calculations, the average maximum speed (266 + 270/2) was 268 miles or 431.072 kilometers per hour. It is worth noting that the developers of the model were amazed by such a good result, because they were counted at best at 425 km / h. The result was fixed officially.

Under the panels of the body of the French giant hides a high-tech gasoline engine Bugatti 16.4. It has a unique W-shaped design and implies the presence of 16 cylinders. Of the working volume of 8 liters, engineers were able to squeeze a herd of 1,200 "horses".

A video about the fastest car in the worldBugattiVeyron

The peak torque reaches 1,500 Nm and is distributed along the axes by means of the all-wheel drive system and the 7-step "robot" with a double clutch of the DSG family. The second hundred display of the speedometer Veyron exchanges after 2.5 seconds after the start. And all this in the first transfer.

In normal condition, the car can please the owner with acceleration "only" up to 375 km / h. To get close to the limit of the machine's capabilities, you need to unlock the so-called "high-speed" mode with a special key. In this case, the ground clearance will decrease to 65 mm, under the bottom of the "Frenchman" the aerodynamic elements will unfold in a special way, thereby reducing the drag of the wheels. There will also be a change in the calibration of the rotation of the retractable wing in the stern (this element is raised when braking is necessary at high speeds and a greater clamping force is obtained on the rear axle). According to the factory documentation, "civilian" versions of "Veyron" (with the exception of separate special series) do not accelerate faster than 408.9 km / h, because by default the electronic limiter is switched on.

Which car is the fastest in the world: the American version

Soon after the triumph of the French-German project Bugatti, the ultimate "maximum" for a production car was asked by enthusiasts on the North American continent. Within the walls of a small company Hennessey began work on creating a competitor for the current record holder. The car was named Hennessey Venom GT and basically it had the chassis and bodywork of the well-known sports car Lotus Elise. After a serious modification, the 7-liter V8 bi-turbo was able to give out 1244 hp, which is 44 "horses" more than the "Veyron". In addition, the "American" was noticeably lighter than the all-wheel drive projectile, which could outweigh the balance in his favor. Acceleration from zero to hundreds was 2.7 seconds.

Day "D" was scheduled for February 14, 2014. The record was set on the runway of the Kennedy Space Center, 5 km long, in the state of Florida, USA. To track the speed of "Venom" attracted the satellite system GPS Racelogic Vblox, was also involved in various high-precision equipment. At the end of the race, experts found that before the car began to brake before the end of the track, the instruments recorded 270 mph, that is 434 km / h.

But the representatives of the Guinness Book of Records refused to confirm the fact of setting a new record, since the race did not comply with the rules for such measurements. As in the case of Bugatti, the average is taken into account, which was impossible to deduct. However, the leadership of the space center refused to Hennessey's team in providing the track for further tests. According to John Hennessey himself, people from NASA even had to beg for a single run for almost two years. As a result, the breaking of the current record was not recorded, although the American car actually surpassed the result of its French rival.

"Scam" by Bugatti Veyron

In April 2014, the Guinness Book of Records expert commission suddenly announced that the "Weiron" record was illegally recorded, since the car was "not in the serial version". The British edition Driving applied for an investigation into this fact. As a result, it was found that during the test-pilot's flight, a hypercar was operated with the speed limiter switched off, which ordinary consumers of this vehicle can not do on their own.

The entry in the book was reset. But within a few days, after even more careful checking and acceptance of Bugatti's arguments, the commission apologized for the premature verdict. As a result, experts concluded, "changing the speed limiter does not change the design of the car or the performance of its engine." The crown of the speed championship was returned to Molsheim, where it is still formally located.

In conclusion, it should be stressed that both leaders of the speed ratings promise to submit in 2016-2017. qualitatively new releases, which, they assure, will be much more powerful and dynamic not only their predecessors, but also possible competitors.

At the end of the last century it was difficult to imagine that the car could accelerate to 250 kilometers per hour, and did not crumble to the details. In our time, such a figure is ludicrous. After all, even mid-range serial cars take this bar without much effort, what to say about exclusive supercars.

Our editorial was interested in the question of what will become the fastest car in the world in 2016. Therefore, we have compiled a kind of rating consisting of cars that amaze with their speed, beauty and technical characteristics. We are glad to present you this top, consisting of both serial models and exclusive ones. But, we did not take into account the machines designed specifically for racing tracks.

The fastest car in the world in 2015

You need to start with the car, which became the fastest last year. Unfortunately, now it is no longer produced, as the company decided that in one year it lost its exclusivity and popularity.

It's about the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Supersport. It was first shown in public in 2010. He attracted the attention of consumers not so much by his appearance as a truly unique motor.

The unit received 16 cylinders. To each of them brought their turbocharger with a cooling radiator. Therefore, the car can accelerate to 431 kilometers per hour. This is also due to the power of 1200 horsepower. The first hundred on the speedometer appears after 2.5 seconds.

But its value, unlike technical characteristics, will please not everyone. The basic equipment without additional "bells and whistles" will cost customers 2.8 million dollars.

By the way, around the record of this model there was a lot of controversy. After all, the speed limiter on the production machine is set at 415 kilometers per hour. To break the record, you have to remove all the restrictions that are responsible for driver safety. The car at that moment becomes almost uncontrollable.

Rating of the fastest cars in the world in 2016:

- Vector Avtech WX8 HPRV. The car became the fourth attempt of the company. The first three did not appear due to a lack of funding. But, as soon as the model appeared, by the way, it happened in 2008, it immediately got into the rating of the fastest machines, and it stays there until now. This is possible due to its excellent technical specifications.

The power of the 7.8-liter engine is 1250 horsepower. Also, there is installed a so-called drive compressor. By 2020, it is planned that the company will release a similar hypercar, but with a capacity of 2000 horsepower. He must overcome the speed of 480 kilometers per hour;

- the third position we assigned Koenigsegg One: 1. This Swedish car produces a capacity of 1360 horsepower. By the way, it is equal to its mass. Maximum speed  is 440 kilometers per hour, and up to a hundred the car accelerates in 2.8 seconds. In the world, only six such specimens were produced. Hyperkars are designed with Scandinavian precision. They cost from 2.5 million dollars, which is quite a lot even for such a powerful model. But, the price is justified by the fact that almost all the details here are exclusive. For example, the chassis. But the twin-turbocharged engine was bought from Ford;

- Hennessey Venom GT is on the second position. This car, right after his announcement in the world media, acquired the vocalist of the group "Aerosmith". Engineers designing it, based on the lightweight body of the Lotus Exige and a powerful engine from the Chevrolet Corvette. So, it turned out to be a really big supercar.

The engine received two turbochargers. Its capacity is 1,182 horsepower. The maximum fixed speed of the car is 440 kilometers per hour, and acceleration to a hundred is possible in 2.4 seconds. And it is already named the fastest in the world of production cars. The last modification will go on sale in the middle of this year, and the maximum cost is 1.1 million dollars. At first, the models will be assembled according to a special order, and then everything will depend on their popularity.

First place in the ranking of the fastest cars in the world in 2016

Devel Sixteen got the first position and rightfully took the place of the fastest car in the world in 2016. Its name fully meets the technical specifications. This model can be called "devilish". They created it in the Arab Emirates, which is not strange. It is here that the number of billionaires per square kilometer is just off scale. And, by the way, it is planned to make it serial. So far we have only been presented with his concept. But, the engine power and some technical side are already known.

For example, the engine received as much as 5000 horsepower and 16 cylinders. Before the first hundred, the model accelerates in 1.8 seconds, and its maximum speed is 560 kilometers per hour. That is, in this parameter the car can compete with some aircraft. About its value is still unknown, as well as the release date.

The most powerful exclusive concepts of the world in 2016

Start this rating with Keating TKR. The car was developed back in 2009, but beyond the high-profile statements in the public that soon the model will become a serial, it did not go. Created her British engineers who equipped the concept with a motor in 1832 horsepower. At the same time, the maximum speed of 419 kilometers per hour is ludicrous, and manufacturers admit it. But, the acceleration to a hundred in 1.78 seconds is impressive. The declared value was to be 250 thousand pounds sterling.

Continue our top of the as yet unrecognized cars with a car called the Mosler MT900 GTR XX "Landshark". It should cost from 329 thousand dollars, which is quite a bit. This is one of the affordable supercars, which accelerates to 490 kilometers per hour. At least it would be accelerated if I went on sale. Hundreds of kilometers per hour the car reaches in 2.5 seconds. Its weight is minimal, and therefore, the developers claim that with significant refinement the motor helps to develop up to 600 kilometers per hour.

Orca Engineering SC7 is a Swiss supercar. The company released only 7 of these copies and does not intend to continue, as it no longer exists. It was liquidated due to low demand for its models. The car accelerates to a hundred for 2.6 seconds, and the maximum speed is 400 kilometers per hour. It was created long before the world companies began to compete for the first place in the rating of the fastest cars, that is, in 2003.

SSC Ultimate Aero XT Edition is an analogue of Bugatti Veyron. This car is faster and cheaper. The maximum speed is 439 kilometers per hour. Up to a hundred the car accelerates in 2.56 seconds.

Ariel Atom V8 500 accelerates only to 275 kilometers per hour. Modest enough, especially for a supercar. But, his other parameters are amazing. For example, with a power of 275 horsepower, the car can accelerate to hundreds in 2.5 seconds. The British car achieves such characteristics due to its very low weight and perfectly balanced center of gravity. In total, around 25 pieces were produced in the world.

Still worth mentioning is SSC Tuatara. The machine turned out to be externally impressive and powerful in performance. Up to 100 kilometers per hour the model accelerates in 2.8 seconds. The maximum speed is 431 kilometers per hour. The model was released by the American company Shelby Supercars. Under the hood was installed a motor with a capacity of 1369 horsepower at a volume of 6.9 liters. And yet, it affects not only the technical side, but also fuel consumption. For a hundred kilometers the car spends 70 (!) Liters of gasoline. Therefore, probably, it is cheaper to buy a helicopter.

In the 80 years of the last century, many experts considered it incredibly dangerous that the car, which can accelerate faster than 250 km / h. However, relatively few time passed and the development of technology greatly facilitated the control of the machine at such a high speed.

Now the threshold of 250 km / h is overcome not only by the most, but also by many cars belonging to more practical classes. Now the speed thresholds have increased significantly - and the figure, equal to 400 km / h, remains unachievable for most manufacturers.

We will tell you which is the fastest serial car  in the world is able to overcome this threshold, and also tell about other models produced in a small number of copies.

Best serial

If you drop cars made in or assembled solely by order and full prepayment, then the fastest serial transport will be the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Supersport, which was first introduced in 2010. The power unit of this car, which got to the top of the fastest, is truly unique.

It has 16 cylinders, and for every four of them there is a turbocharger with an intermediate cooling radiator. The result also turned out fantastic - the car develops a speed equal to 431 km / h in 1200 horsepower. Owners of this machine can also impress the people around the phenomenal acceleration, which makes it possible to reach the first "hundreds" in two and a half seconds.

However, such a fast transport is not available to everyone - a cost of 2.8 million dollars sharply limits the list of its customers. It is interesting that, relatively to the record set by the machine, there has been a lively debate for quite some time now, even experts with a world-wide reputation can not find the truth in it. The problem is that a speed limiter is installed on the standard car, which does not allow accelerating to more than 415 km / h.

To achieve a record, you need to order the removal of the limiter and install, which still can not withstand such heavy loads for longer than a half minutes. In addition, the fastest production car requires the rotation of an additional key that removes the responsibility for the safety of the driver from the manufacturer - all this is the cause of the fierce controversy surrounding the latest version of the Bugatti Veyron.

Number one

Can you imagine what will happen if you install a "big block" from the Chevrolet Corvette in the ultra-compact Lotus Exige body? Engineers tuning studio Hennessey decided not to develop imagination, and to test all their assumptions in practice. In addition, they installed two turbochargers on the engine, which allowed to increase its capacity to 1,182 horsepower. This allowed representatives to assert that the fastest machine in the world was created by them.

The maximum speed recorded by international observers was 440 km / h, which allowed the car to beat the previous record among road cars. In addition, such a high power provided the dynamics of acceleration, similar to the previous machine examined. At the same time to purchase special tires and order the completion of the electronic control unit will not have to - a hypermarket named Venom GT immediately after the assembly and running is ready to repeat its achievement.

On sale the fastest road car of the planet will arrive in the beginning or the middle of 2016, and its cost will be limited at the level of 1.1 million dollars. Initially, it is planned to assemble cars on an individual order, but with sufficient demand, they will be produced for presentation in car dealerships.

Special offer

German company 9ff specializes in professional tuning of Porsche cars, which allows to significantly improve their dynamic parameters. However, at one point, its specialists seemed to have few simple improvements, and they began the production of their road hypercars. In 2012, the light saw the model GT9 Vmax, which was built on the basis of 911 GT2 technology, but had more than 80% of the original components.

From a distance the body looks like a car that was used as a base, but in fact this fast car was designed "from scratch". At its design engineers used the experience of work on sports equipment for Le Mans and ring races of the European series - this is noticeable in the elongated tail part, in which the power unit is located.

Virtually untouched remained the all-wheel drive transmission Porsche, which was reinforced in connection with a significant increase in loads. In addition, many original parts can be found in the engine - it is a classic for a German car opposed unit with six cylinders. Due to the increase in volume to 4.2 liters and the installation of two sets of turbocharging power was increased to an incredible rate of 1,400 horsepower.

The performance of this fast car is impressive - 431 km / h, as well as acceleration to "hundreds", which takes 3.1 seconds. The company originally planned to sell such hypercar to racing teams with sponsorship support, but in connection with the emergence of demand and set the price for open sale - it is equal to 1.01 million dollars.

Big plans

At automobile exhibitions, you can see quite a few supercar projects, which then disappear without a trace due to a lack of funding or a lack of qualified personnel from the developer company. However, the American company Vector was able to move farther than the others - after failing to work on the first three prototypes, in 2008 it finally presented the first running model of its promising products.

The car, called Avtech WX8 HPRV, immediately hit the top of the fastest with a horsepower of 1,250 horsepower. The manufacturer decided to use a motor with a volume of 7.8 liters, and equipped it with a drive compressor. It is interesting that his engineers called the company a "small block" - the question arises, what should we call big?

In fact, the submitted prototype should become only the most popular version of the American company's products. In addition, the model range should include cars with a similar body, but with other power units:

• The naturally aspirated V8 with a capacity of 7.8 liters with a capacity of 750 horsepower;
• The naturally aspirated V8 is 10 liters with a capacity of 1,450 horsepower;
• V8 with a double turbo, developing 1800-2000 horsepower.

It is a 10-liter motor and is called a "big block", although in fact it exists exclusively in the form of drawings, computer models and parts specifications for potential suppliers. Unfortunately, the car has not yet entered mass production - the developers are constantly postponing its debut, motivating it with the need for further improvements.

Scandinavian accuracy

In 2014, the Swedish company Koenigsegg presented its next creation called One: 1. The new hypercar on test runs showed a speed that is a little underdog to the characteristics of the Bugatti - 430.8 km / h. However, pedantic Scandinavians recorded in the parameters of the car a rounded figure - 430 km / h, which somewhat distanced him from the title of the fastest serial transport in the world. However, the acceleration rate to the cherished "hundreds" remained at the level of the leader - 2.5 seconds can impress even the most experienced driver.

A significant disadvantage of the Swedish fast car automotive journalists called its cost, which is 2.5 million dollars - even for a hypercar it is quite a lot. According to the tradition that has developed over the long years of the company's existence, the Koenigsegg engineers developed the chassis independently, and the engine was borrowed from Ford. Thanks to the double turbo, it develops a power equal to 1360 horsepower. Unlike other models of this brand, the version with the engine running on ethanol is not offered - accordingly, the buyer is only available one modification of the super-fast car.

Even more?

It seems that the hunger for speed, which obsessively mankind, will not be saturated - dozens of projects of very fast machines appear every year. The above-mentioned American company Vector reckons by 2020 to produce the first hypercar with a "large block" of 10 liters capacity, which at 2000 horsepower will overcome the 480 km / h speed limit.

In addition, some tuning studios have already announced their intention to create a vehicle whose capabilities will exceed 500 km / h. But do they have enough determination to continue what they started? After all, the laws on the cleanliness of automobile exhaust are tightened every year, which will become a serious obstacle to the goals set.
