​Top 10 fastest cars in the world: Bugatti Chiron to Pagani (2024)

FAQs

Which car is faster than Bugatti Chiron? ›

KOENIGSEGG JESKO ABSOLUTE: 300 MPH

The Swedish supercar was born to defy gravity and beat the Bugatti Chiron, and it's the fastest Koenigsegg. With a 5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, it has 1,600 hp (100 more than the “classic” Jesko).

Can a car go 400 mph? As of 2023, no cars have managed to break the 400 mph barrier but that's not due to manufacturers' lack of trying. As it stands, there are a few cars that have managed to exceed 300 mph.

Pagani Huayra — 238 MPH.

The fastest car in the world is: Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (330 MPH)

However,the Ultima GTR can reach 10 mph in 5.3 seconds which is blisteringly quick - that was timed independently. The Pagani Zonda is not as quick as that, taking 2 seconds more than the Veyron to get to 124 mph (200 km/h).

During a test in the Nevada desert, the Koenigsegg Agera RS hypercar produced an average speed of 277.9mph - beating the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport's record of 268mph, set in 2010.

Not only that, but the Chiron Super Sport 300+ also became the first car to break 300 miles per hour on the track. The final record was 304.773 mph with racing driver Andy Wallace at the wheel on Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany.

A car with that kind of speed level also requires immense power. The Bloodhound required a total thrust of 20 tonnes to achieve a top speed of 1,000 mph. This phenomenal amount of robustness doesn't come with regular machines. It's no surprise that the Bloodhound harbours a Eurojet EJ200 jet engine.

And a lifetime of know-how. A 500-mph car doesn't run on willpower or good intentions. Nothing about it is standardized.

What car can go 155 mph? ›

Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMGs are the definition of understatement. They look as stately as normal E-Classes, but have some serious performance under the hood. The E55 AMG, with its 349-horsepower 5.5-liter V-8, could a top speed of 155 mph.

Every Pagani begins with an aesthetic shock. Utopia radiates simplicity. It asserts itself straightaway, affirms and imposes its lines, which are so typical of Pagani but at the same time it is so different from anything they have offered us before. A shape that is more flowing and curvaceous.

Lanzante has also built street-legal versions of the Pagani Zonda R, another wild track machine.

Fastest from the blocks: 0-60 mph

As of today, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 crushes all with a 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds. That's simply absurd, but keep in mind the Demon was engineered with the single-minded purpose of going fast in a straight line.

Highlights. The Bloodhound SSC is a rocket-powered car that went on for sale for a staggering $11 million. It broke the land speed record by hitting over 1000 mph.

On Dec. 9, 2022, the Gas Monkey Garage-sponsored 2006 Ford GT known as the “BADD GT,” achieved a top speed of 310.8 mph (500.1 km/h) at Space Florida's Launch and Landing Facility, located in Kennedy Space Center, Florida, making this car the fastest street legal car in the world.

What Is The Fastest Car In The World? The Thrust SSC is the fastest car in the world with a Guinness World Record-breaking top speed of 763 mph (1,227.9 kmh). It is also the first car to ever break the sound barrier. But unlike the other cars on this list, the Thrust SSC is definitely not street-legal.
