There are many criteria for measuring the performance of a car. For the fastest car in the world, the main criterion is speed. We present to you top 10 fastest cars in the world. Basically, these are sports models, as fast as they are expensive.

The price is $330,000. The chic body of the British supercar immediately attracts attention, it is made of stainless steel and carbon fiber. With its 4.4-liter eight-cylinder engine with 650 hp. the car is capable of squeezing 362 km / h at the limit. However, they risked dispersing it only to 346 km / h, as the driver felt very strong vibrations during the trip.

The maximum speed is 370 km/h. Market value - 1.27 million dollars. The next number in the ranking of the fastest cars is a beautiful Italian supercar made of carbon fiber. It is powered by a six-liter V12 engine from Mercedes-AMG with 720 horsepower. Last year at the Geneva Motor Show, automaker Pagani showed the Huayra BC, which is lighter and more powerful than the standard Huayra. Her engine has been improved to 789 hp. while the total curb weight has been reduced to a measly 1199kg. That's comparable to the weight of the latest Honda Civic Coupe, but the Huayra is five times more powerful.

The maximum speed is 375 km / h. The cost is 1.22 million dollars. One of the few Danish hypercars is also one of the fastest passenger cars. Assembled in Zeeland, the Zenvo ST1 shows the height of Danish engineering prowess as the car combines a supercharged 6.8-litre V8 engine with a turbocharger, with 1,205 hp.

The ST1 is capable of reaching 375 km/h with a flawless road, but it's important to note that its top speed is electronically limited. Without digital nannies on board, the ST1 could be even faster. It was released in a 15-unit edition and you are unlikely to see it on Russian roads.

Sold for 970 thousand dollars. A car with a unique interior design. Its authors are Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens. The driver's seat, as well as the steering wheel in the McLaren F1 are in the center of the cabin. At the end of the 20th century, McLaren F1 received the title of "the fastest car in the world" and held it until 2005. The iron heart of this British beauty is the V12 engine with 627 horsepower.

Develops speed up to 405 km / h. The cost is $545,568. This Swedish model has received many awards, including Top Gear Power Laps. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson rode the CCX and praised the car a lot, but didn't like the lack of downforce. Clarkson said that the lack of a rear spoiler was to blame. This was also later stated by Top Gear pilot Stig, who crashed the CCX and suggested that the car would be more stable with a rear spoiler. In 2006, Koenigsegg introduced a variant of its supercar with an optional carbon fiber rear spoiler. However, with it, the speed is reduced to 370 km / h.

Forbes magazine included the CCX in the list of the most beautiful cars in the world.

The highest speed is 414 km / h. Buyers will cost 695 thousand dollars. This supercar, with its exterior similar to the Porsche 911, was created by the German tuning company 9ff. The design caused an ambiguous reaction among motorists: in the reviews there is both admiration for the beauty of the car, and criticism of the “ugly headlights” and too elongated body.

One of the main differences from the regular 911 is the location of the four-liter Twin Turbo engine with 1120 hp. All 911 models in Porsche history (with the exception of the Porsche 911 GT1) have a rear engine, while the GT9 is mid-engined for better weight distribution.

Theoretically achievable speed is 430 km/h. Offered for 655 thousand dollars. The American from Shelby SuperCars (SSC) was the king of the auto world of speed from 2007 to 2010, beating the Super Sport version from Veyron. It even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2007 with an astounding 412 km/h.

Helping to achieve this record was a 6.3-liter twin turbo V8 engine with 1287 horsepower. The driver does not have electronic assistants to help control this power. So the car promises either a delightful experience for those who have a lot of driving experience, or almost certain death for reckless drivers who have no such experience.

The declared speed is 431 km / h. When Volkswagen bought the Bugatti brand, it had one goal in mind: to produce the fastest production car in the world. The original Veyron achieved this goal, however it was soon deposed by SSC Ultimate Aero. So Bugatti is back with Super Sport. It has an 8-liter Quad Turbo W16 engine with 1200 hp, as well as numerous aerodynamic changes designed to help win a few extra kilometers per hour.

The cost of this luxury car is 2.4 million dollars, and despite such a high price, the demand for cars in the car market is very high.

The price is 1 million dollars.

In a 2014 test at the Kennedy Space Center, the coupe managed to reach 435 km / h in a single run. This dream of speed, realized in a carbon fiber body (excluding doors and roof), is equipped with a 7.0 - liter V8 engine with turbocharged Twin Turbo with 1244 horsepower.

1. Bugatti Chiron is the fastest car

The maximum speed is 463 km / h.

The cost is 2.65 million dollars.

The fastest car in the world in 2018 and possibly 2019 (Bugatti plans to set a speed record next year with the Chiron). Its photos and specifications were declassified only at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. This luxurious two-seater was developed after the success of the Bugatti Veyron, which is considered one of the fastest and. The Bugatti Chiron is equipped with a 16-cylinder engine and its 1500 horsepower rushes from 0 to a hundred kilometers in 2.5 seconds.

Although the Chiron is built like a racing car, you don't have to be a pro to drive it. The vehicle is designed to automatically adjust driving as speed increases or decreases, ensuring optimal performance.

There are also cars on the horizon that are ready to compete for the right to be called the fastest cars in the world. So, SSC hopes to reclaim the title of "world's fastest car" with its challenger Tuatara (1,350 horsepower under the hood and 443 km/h in theory). And Koenigsegg claims that the One:1 supercar can overcome the bar of 430 km/h. In 2016, while trying to set a record while passing a lap at the German Nürburgring One: 1 race track, he had an accident, crashing into a protective fence. The pilot did not suffer much, which cannot be said about the car. This is one of the most expensive accidents at the Nürburgring.

Man has always strived for higher speeds. In ancient times, when they moved only on animals, horses that could cover long distances in a short (according to those terms) time were very much appreciated.

Probably, paying tribute to horses, it is customary to characterize all invented engines in horsepower.

First cars

Since the first cars appeared, people began to test them for speed. The best car was considered to be the one that developed the highest speed.

The first officially registered speed record was set on an electric car on 12/18/1898. The design of Charles Janto accelerated to 63.149 km / h. Under the control of Count Gaston de Chasselus-Loba, the vehicle in 57 seconds. "Swept" between the control marks and overcame 1000 m.

Until the end of the 19th century. Two more records were set. At first, people became subject to a speed of 92.78 km / h. And, after only 2 months, a hundred-kilometer bar was taken.

"La Jamais Contente" - an electric car, which is still exhibited in the National Museum of France, "ran" 105.882 km in an hour.

The twentieth century

The second hundred kilometers "surrendered" to a racer named Burman in 1911. He managed to disperse a car assembled by Benz to 228.04 km / h.

The result of 327.98 km / h was shown in the 27th year by the pilot Henry Seagrave. The Sunbeam sports car he piloted was assembled by the British.

On "Blue Flame" Campbell crossed another milestone. His speed record of the 32nd year was 408.63 km / h. It should be noted that this person is a champion not only in auto racing. On account of his victory in the air and on the water.

Few people know that already in the 37th someone could move on the ground at a speed exceeding half a thousand km / h. John Aiston was able to achieve a similar result on a three-wheeled car that looks like an aircraft. The maximum speed was 502.43 km / h.

Our days

In pursuit of new achievements, thousands of talents are working on the development of improved car models. Now they themselves have set the task - to surpass the speed of a thousand miles / hour.

The intention to overcome the milestone of 1609 kilometers per hour was announced by the designer of the Bloodhound SSC. They have already managed to develop a car that moves faster than the speed of sound. Now they face very difficult technical challenges. One of the questions is the indelible tires that a car with three engines will need.

A car similar to a rocket will be equipped with engines:

Jet Eurojet EJ200;

Hybrid rocket;

Petrol 800 hp

And even if such cars are not destined to drive on highways, we wish speed lovers to achieve their goal.

Well, if you still have a desire to set your own speed record, then first you need to be trained at the Driving School on Oboronnaya, and then it would not be bad to go through an extreme driving school.

When choosing and evaluating a car, they often look at its appearance, cost or fuel consumption. But still, the most attractive thing about the car is its speed. That is why we decided to compile a list of the fastest iron horses to find out who owns world car speed record?

10 Ferrari LaFerrari

The Italian hybrid Ferrari LaFerrari opens our list of the history of car speed records. Its engine is powered by both gasoline and electricity, so on top of the base 789 horsepower, the iron monster has an additional 161 mounts. Its creators have invested in it a lot of systems that equip their cars that compete in Formula 1. Speed ​​- 350 km / h

The British development of 2013, which also has a hybrid engine, impresses with its capabilities, and most importantly, its agility. It has several functions taken from the cars and in terms of speed it is on a par with the LaFerrari - also 350 km / h.

Another English model that breaks into the list of speed records on production cars, due to the fact that it is in no way inferior to the previous two cars, demonstrating - 350 km / h. It was originally planned to equip the XJ220 with a V12 engine, providing all-wheel drive, but the end result was only a V6 and rear-wheel drive.

7 Aston Martin One

The most lightning-fast Aston in the history of the brand, created and presented to the public back in 2008. Despite its dimensions and a 7.3-liter engine, it accelerates to 355 km / h. In total, exactly 77 copies of these were released.

What is the car speed record? You have to ask the creators of McLaren, because their cars have been distinguished by the highest performance for decades. The F1 has a V12 engine from BMW, a body that is made of carbon fiber and the ability to accelerate to 388 km / h.

5. SSC Ultimate Aero

Many have not even heard about this car, and it was he who for one year had a record for the maximum speed on a car. Ultimate Aero managed to overtake the Bugatti Veyron record with a speed of 414 km/h, but very soon lost again to its opponent.

4 Bugatti Chiron

The model, whose name is a reference to the Greek deity, was supposed to be a replacement for the Veyron era, but it did not. Yes, it accelerates to 420 km / h, but at the same time it is still inferior to the latest version of the Super Sport class by as much as 10 km / h.

3 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

World-famous Volkswagen has acquired all the rights to Bugatti with one single goal - to make the fastest car in the world. And it is so, because at the moment this is exactly what is written in the Guinness Book of Records. Super Sport reaches a speed of 431 km / h.

2. Hennessey Venom GT

Another dark horse in the world of high speeds is the Hennessey, a sports car built on the basis of the well-known Lotus. I was able to accelerate to 435.2 km / h, but did not get into the Guinness Book of Records due to non-compliance with all the rules for the test.

1. Koenigsegg Agera RS

What is the world car speed record? 447 km / h and it belongs to the creation of the Swedish masters of the automotive industry, who gave their best when creating the Agera RS, which has 1360 horsepower at its disposal, as well as a V8 engine.

Thrust with a total capacity of 110,000 liters. With.

Subtitles

Every year, eminent automakers and newcomers to the automotive industry present amazing supercars to the whole world. Some pick up speed faster up to 100, 200 or 300 km / h, while others have a higher maximum value. But there are car models that manage to combine fast acceleration, high speed and efficient handling. In this video you will see the 10 fastest cars. The tenth place in our ranking is occupied by the Ferrari Enzo. This is a two-seater supercar produced by an Italian car company between 2002 and 2004. The model was built in honor of the founder of the legendary Ferrari company - Enzo Ferrari. Engine Ferrari Enzo - V-shaped 12-cylinder, naturally aspirated, 6 liters. The maximum engine power is 660 hp and the torque is 657 Nm. The construction of the car around a racing car made of carbon fiber with numerous air intake bells made it possible to achieve air distribution for increased downforce and effective engine cooling without significant aerodynamic losses. The car is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, and its top speed reaches 350 km/h. Not a bad result, considering that some tuning studios were able to improve acceleration to 3 seconds and increased the maximum speed to 370 km / h. Due to very similar dynamic characteristics, 2 supercars made room in ninth place. Pagani Huayra is another representative of the Italian brand of exclusive sports cars. In translation from the language of the ancient Incas, Huayra means wind. And this name fully justifies it. As a power plant, Uyra uses a V12 engine from Mercedes AMG. This engine develops 700 hp. and 1000 Nm of torque, which allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of up to 370 km / h. The key difference between the Huayra and the Zonda and most cars is the presence of active aerodynamic elements. For example, front shock absorbers change the height of the front of the car, thereby adjusting air resistance and downforce at high speed. There are also aileron spoilers, which, if necessary, also add downforce or stand as vertical as possible, performing the function of an air brake. Lamborghini Aventador, succeeded Murcielago in 2011. The car received the name Aventador on behalf of the bull famous in bullfighting. Its 6.5 L V12 engine develops 700 horsepower. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700 is a kind of fighter jet that accelerates to hundreds of kilometers in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed limit of 350 km/h. The carbon fiber wheels contribute to both quicker acceleration and quicker braking, pushrod suspension and distribution of traction to each wheel make this car amazingly manageable. In one of the Top Gear TV shows, the Stig managed to beat the lap time on it better than on the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Aventador also has several tuning versions. In one of them, the engine power was increased to 900 hp, which significantly improved the acceleration dynamics. In eighth place is the McLaren F1. It was first developed by Gordon Murray in 1993. The McLaren engine is located centrally in relation to the chassis and developed a power of 627 hp and a torque of 651 Nm. Due to the small mass of the car, the specific power is quite high and is equal to 550 hp / t. For better heat transfer, the engine was covered with technical gold, and to reduce the weight of the machine, the designers were among the first to use special carbon materials. For its time, the F1 was far superior to the competition. This supercar is capable of reaching a top speed of 392 kilometers per hour and accelerating to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. In addition to the speed records of its time, which remain impressive to this day, this supercar was distinguished by its price. The minimum cost started at $1.2 million. The Saleen S7 is America's first hand-built and limited edition supercar. The car has a turbo engine that develops 750 hp. Speed ​​up to 100 km/h is achieved by Saleen S7 in 2.8 seconds, and the maximum possible speed of this machine is 399 km/h. The body of the car, completely consisting of carbon fiber, together with the aerodynamic body kit creates a monstrous downforce, at a speed of more than 250 km / h equal to the car's own weight. The first copy was released in 2001. Since then, it has been refined and used by various sports teams in the Grand Turismo series races and won them repeatedly. On one of the copies, the race at the famous 24 hours of Le Mans was won. In sixth place is the Koenigsegg CCXR, made by a young and very successful Swedish company. The engine on regular gasoline develops 806 hp, but on biofuel - all 1018, which allowed the car to reach a speed of 402 km / h. The machine is able to exchange the first hundred in a period of time equal to 2.9 seconds. The car can be considered ecological, as it runs on bioethanol. Its body was made of aluminum alloys. True, there was a special, limited version of the model - CCXR Edition. Cars of this series were equipped with a special wing and lightweight wheels made of polished aluminum. All body panels were made of carbon fiber and were not painted. This model was a huge success and served as a guarantee for the creation of new cars that will challenge the championship in the rankings of the fastest. In fifth place in our ranking is the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, a fast, half-million-dollar sports car. The twin-turbocharged car develops 1183 hp, such power allows it to accelerate to hundreds of km / h in just 2.78 seconds. and theoretically reach speeds of up to 420 km / h. Despite the controversial appearance, the car is good with a high level of comfort, a stylish leather interior, and the most modern navigation system. The SSC UltimateAero TT can only be refueled at the manufacturer, as no other fuel is suitable for its operation. In 2007, it set a maximum speed record of 412 km / h, but after 3 years it was broken. The following 4 models of supercars can simultaneously fit in the 1st place of the fastest cars in the world. Their position in the ranking will be determined by the chronology of setting world records. The Bugatti veyron is a Bugatti hypercar named after legendary French driver Pierre Veyron, winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A decade later (in 2010), the company introduced the world to the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - a production car that has been significantly updated compared to its predecessor. The aerodynamics and design of the car body was improved, which was now completely made of carbon fiber. The engine became 199 hp. more powerful, now he developed 1200 forces and a torque of 1500 N.m. This made it possible to exchange the first hundred in just 2.5 seconds. In 2010, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport broke the world speed record and averaged 431 km/h in 2 runs. At such speeds, the tires of the car are destroyed many times faster and by default the Bugatti has a speed limiter of 415 km / h, which is why the record achieved by the legendary supercar was almost canceled, but later it was recognized that the limiter does not change the design of the car and engine characteristics. The Tuatara is Shelby Super Cars' second supercar. The idea of ​​creating a new supercar came to the company after the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport managed to break the SSC Ultimate Aero TT record and set it at around 431 km/h. The car was originally called Aero TT2 until the company changed its name to Tuatara. The name comes from the tuatara reptile that lives on the islands of New Zealand. In the Maori language, tuatara means pikes on the back, which is quite consistent with the description of the wings on the back of this supercar. Powered by a 1,350 hp twin-turbo engine, the Tuatara is capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. In addition to body parts made of carbon fiber, the car has carbon fiber wheels, which, according to calculated data, will allow reaching a maximum speed of 443 km/h. This car is one of the most luxurious and fastest in its class, it could even top this rating, but the calculated speed has not yet been reached. Agera R is a modification of the Koenigsegg Agera hypercar, which is capable of running on both gasoline and biofuel. Wheels, body parts and aerodynamic body kit are also made of carbon fibers. The twin turbocharged engine develops up to 1115 hp. and 1000 Nm of torque, which allows the car to accelerate to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds and reach a phenomenal speed of 440 km / h. So far, this speed has not been demonstrated and recorded, since Michelin has not yet developed such wear-resistant tires specifically for the Agira R. Previously developed tires for this supercar have a speed limit of 420 km / h, so all instances have a limiter at around 375 km / h. But even this fact did not prevent the Koenigsegg Agera R from setting 6 world records in September 2011: 2 records for acceleration at 300 and 322 km/h. 2 records for braking, as well as 2 records for acceleration / braking. The Hennessey Venom GT is a supercar by the American tuning company Hennessey Performance Engineering. The car was produced on the basis of the Lotus Exige body with a modified turbocharged engine from the Corvette ZR1. The engine develops 1200 horsepower with a car weight of only 1225 kg, which had a positive effect on the power density and dynamic characteristics of the supercar. In January 2013, the Venom GT entered the Guinness Book of World Records with a 0-300 km/h time of 13.63 seconds, breaking the previous Koenigsegg Agera R record by nearly a second. A month later, on the runway of the airbase, the car crossed the mark of 427 km / h, after which its creators began to call it the fastest, recalling that the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is delivered to customers with a limiter of 415 km / h. A year later, in February 2014, Venom GT overcame the speed mark of 435 km / h, but this result did not make it to Guinness, since the average value of two races in both directions is required and the production volume of the model series must exceed 30 copies. In July 2016, a new hypercar, the Bugatti Chiron, was introduced to the world. Or in French Bugatti Chiron. But so far, only demo and showcar versions exist in the world. Construction and tuning of the car continues. In 2018, the company plans to break and set a new world speed record on this hypercar, which, according to calculated data, is 463 km/h. We wish good luck to the company and other automakers, because in the conditions of healthy sports competition we will see more and more new supercars and their achievements.

Story

• First speed record for a car with an internal combustion engine(up to 30 km / h) belongs to Emile Levassor, set in the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race in 1895.
• The first officially registered absolute speed record- 63.149 km / h - set on December 18, 1898 by Count Gaston de Chaslus-Loba on an electric car designed by Charles Jeantot at a distance of 1 km.
• 100 km milestone on April 29, 1899, the Belgian Camille Zhenatzi was the first to step over, who on the La Jamais Contente electric car (with fr.- “Always dissatisfied”) with an engine power of 67 liters. With. developed a speed of 105.876 km / h.
• 200 km milestone speed was achieved in 1911 by the racer R. Burman. On a Benz car, he showed 228.04 km / h.
• 300 km milestone was first achieved by H. O. D. Sigrev in 1927. On a Sunbeam car, he showed 327.89 km / h.
• 400 km milestone speed was first “stepped over” by Malcolm Campbell in a Napier-Campbell car in 1932 (408.63 km / h).
• 500 km milestone speed was overcome in 1937 by John Aiston in a Rolls-Royce-Aiston car (502.43 km / h).
• 1000 km milestone For the first time, on October 23, 1970, the American Garry Gabelich overcame speeds on the Blue Flame rocket car (“Blue Flame”) on the dry salt lake Bonneville, showing an average speed of 1014.3 km / h. "Blue Flame" had a length of 11.3 m and a weight of 2250 kg.
• For the first time the speed of sound on a car overcame 36-year-old professional American stuntman Sten Barrett on a three-wheeled car "Budweiser Rocket" with jet engines. The car was equipped with 2 engines. The main engine is a rocket engine with a thrust of 9900 kgf. The second engine, a solid propellant rocket engine with a thrust of 2000 kgf, was installed in case the thrust of the main engine was not enough to overcome the speed of sound. Check-in took place at the airbase « Edwards » (California, USA) in December 1979. But this record was not officially registered by the FIA, since according to the rules of this organization, in order to register a record, two runs in opposite directions must be made to eliminate the influence of wind and the inclination of the track. The record speed is the arithmetic average of the speeds in these two races. However, Stan Barret refused the second race, believing that the record had been set. However, since the radar with which the speed was measured turned out to be out of sync and was aimed at the car manually, the achievement of a supersonic record speed in that race is generally questioned by many historians of record car races, in particular, it is absent in the official report of the US armed forces written by officers who controlled the radar during the race.
• Only one car passed the 1,000 mph (1,609 km/h) speed limit.

Designers have plans to set a new record

• On September 25, 1924, Campbell set a record of 146.16 mph in a Sunbeam car.
• On July 21, 1925, he reached a speed of 242.79 km / h, breaking the line of 150 miles / h.

In the future, Campbell abandoned Sunbeam cars and built cars of his own design.

• In early 1927, Campbell on Pendina Beach (Great Britain) raised the speed record to 281 km / h.

A year later, Campbell went to the start with the new Blue Bird. In the same place, in Daytona, he set a record of 333 km / h.

• In 1935, at Lake Bonneville, Utah, he reached a speed of 301.12 mph or 484.620 km/h.

Campbell's latest record was set on Utah's famed Bonneville Salt Lake, discovering that the lake's salty surface was not only perfectly flat, but also provided excellent tire grip. Almost all subsequent speed records were set on Bonneville. After that, the already middle-aged Campbell (he was 49 years old) left the sport, however, in 1940 he broke the world speed record on water. Campbell's record was 237 km/h.

• His son, Donald, continued the tradition and broke the 400 mph barrier in a Bluebird.

For the first time, Donald Campbell took the new Bluebird CN7 to the start in 1960 at Bonneville. And one of the races almost ended in disaster: the car flew into the air at full speed, rolled over and hit the ground. Contrary to expectations, the rider escaped with light scratches. Having completely rebuilt the Blue Bird and attaching a high keel to it for better directional stability, Donald took her to Australia, to the salt lake Eyre, deciding that the Bonneville track was no longer suitable for such speeds. As a result, Donald managed to break the record only in 1964. It was 403 mph (648 km/h). When designing the machine, Donald Campbell counted on much more. But he must have been happy about this, especially since then he was officially listed as the fastest racer on the planet.

• Don Wales, son of Donald Campbell and grandson of Sir Malcolm Campbell, is now the holder of one of the world speed records. He set two American national records and eight UK records. Wales, following Donald Campbell, continued to set records, the first of which was the speed record for a car in 1998.
aerodynamic resistance and created a rarefied zone for a cyclist uncoupling from the leader at a speed of 160 km / h), during free descent and on a flat surface without a leader.

– max. speed 350 km/h

Lamborghini is one of the most attractive brands in the automotive industry. These cars are real masterpieces that fly at the speed of the wind. The top speed of 350 km/h is the culmination of the developments of the Italian car industry. The massive V12 engine produces a whopping 750 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds.

14. Ascari A10

– max. speed 350 km/h

British car manufacturer Ascari has created a very powerful A10 for their 10th anniversary. The performance of the Ascari A10 is rated at 655 kW with a modified V8 engine from the BMW 5. The supercar accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.

13. Gumpert Apollo

– max. speed 359 km/h

Gumpert Apollo reaches 100 km/h in 3 seconds, has a 4.2-liter V8 engine with 650 hp. The cost of this model is about 450 thousand dollars. The German-made sports car was inspired by jet fighters. The company says the car can reach 305 km/h upside down in a tunnel, i.e. ride on the ceiling, but no one tried to do it.

12 Noble M600

– max. speed 362 km/h

The British car M600 is the simplest and cheapest among supercars. This modest "pocket rocket" has a 600 hp engine. and accelerates to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds. M600s are assembled by hand in Leicestershire and cost $200,000 per copy.

11. Pagani Huayra

– max. speed 370 km/h

Pagani stunned the world with their beautiful Zonda, but the Huayra exceeded all expectations. This model is known for its unrealistic performance thanks to its twin 6-litre V12 turbo engine. The car costs a little more than $1,300,000 and accelerates to 100 km/h in less than 2.6 seconds.

10 Zenvo ST1

– max. Speed ​​- 375 km / h.
