We’re used to hearing about the Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari breaking speed limits and exceeding 200 mph in each run. But there are faster cars in the world that can reach speeds of up to 300 mph or more. Times are changing. Gone are the days of the aforementioned car companies dominating the speed arena. In this article, you’ll get to know previous underdogs that have run them off the track and left them in trails of dust. The words car and speed are inseparable. When racecar drivers speed up on the track, an overwhelming wave of thrill takes over, also known as the “need for speed” feeling. While most of us will never get to experience that speed, we all know what it’s like flying down the highway with the speedo ticking over 150 mph. If you admire cars with lightning speeds, fasten your seat belts and hang on. Here are the six fastest cars in the world, each with its own record on the hood.
SSC Tuatara Credit: Khairil Azhar Junos / Shutterstock.com We’re starting the list off with the current world’s fastest production car, the SSC Tuatara. With a top speed of 316.11 mph, this hypercar has a modest design but a striking presence on the road. Jason Castriota, a world-famous designer, collaborated in creating this masterpiece. Inspired by a jet fighter plane, its strategic lines and curves are intentionally placed to achieve unmatched aerodynamics and precision downforce at top speed. True to the design’s function, the SSC Tuatara has a lower drag coefficient (0.279) than other cars in its category. The exterior design of the SSC Tuatara might be less intricate than other cars, but its presence is respected everywhere. Starting with the butterfly doors that will surely catch your eye, the front and rear deck lids also warrant attention when they rise to greet passengers. While the forward deck keeps luggage and other possessions in its storage compartment, the rear deck exposes the carbon fiber monocoque and suspension system that propels the Tuatara. Both the passenger and the driver can enjoy a wider view of the road and the attention of the passersby with its teardrop canopy. Inside, the driver has access to driving and vehicle-related information with just a touch of their finger, thanks to the advanced Human-Machine Interface on the dashboard. The digital driver display and information console are aesthetically placed inside without compromising its functionality. Indeed, a display of sophisticated simplicity that also goes bloody fast.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ Credit: CarBuzz Inc. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ was the first-ever hypercar in its class to exceed the 300 mph threshold. Andy Wallace, Bugatti’s official test driver, and a Le Mans winner drove at 304.774 mph to set the bar on August 2, 2019. Tracing back from the roots of Bugatti’s tradition, the Super Sports 300+ is an embodiment of absolute exclusivity, beauty, and exceptional automotive craftsmanship. Although it’s a derivative of Bugatti’s Chiron, the Super Sports 300+ exceeds its predecessor thanks to the more beastly W16 8.0-liter engine that delivers 1,600 HP. It also has the perfect balance of low resistance and downforce, which can be attributed to the air curtains strategically placed in the vehicle. This hyper sports car features the Longtail, a head-turning rear design that adds 25 centimeters to the body’s dimensions. Although this feature appeals to the eyes, it has a vital role in the car’s aerodynamics by reducing 40% of the stall. Bugatti only produced 30 units of the Chiron Super Sports 300+, and each unit takes pride in the exclusive Macaron made from genuine silver and black enamel. From afar, the full-length jet orange stripes on top stand out of the jet black-dominated car body.
Koenigsegg Agera RS Credit: Ed Aldridge / Shutterstock.com The Koenigsegg Agera RS is a versatile hypercar that can play on the road and the track. It has advanced lightweight sound insulation and a front splitter, to own the racetrack. Named as the world’s fastest production car in 2017, the Agera RS set the record with a 278 mph top speed and 285 mph straight-line speed. The Agera RS is built primarily for racing, but it also features the practicalities of a road car and has a luggage compartment and a detachable hardtop. There aren’t many units of this car made available to the public, making it even more exclusive. The RS kept the functional qualities of the S and R Agera Models. However, it leveled-up on the aesthetic and aerodynamic attributes as a hybrid model. Each enhancement has a role to play in the RS. This beast of a car has an advanced dynamic underbody flap system and a dynamically active rear spoiler that reduces the downforce during the ride. Increasing the power and raising the rpm limit is assigned to the side air outlets behind the front wheel. The attention-seeking duty is for the front winglets and side skirts. The Agera RS also has an optimized engine with better brake horsepower for higher reliability than the Agera S. The RS can run on E85, because of its engine management system, which the RS uses to adjust easily to any fuel mix.
Koenigsegg Agera R Credit: Max Earey / Shutterstock.com Only five mph slower than the RS variant, the Koenigsegg Agera R did laps faster than the McLaren P1, Porsche 918, and La Ferrari in 2015. During its production from 2011 to 2014, only 18 units were made available. Koenigsegg’s proof of its pursuit of innovation is on display with the Agera RS in the form of its enhanced performance and more appealing look. The Agera R is the first hypercar that can run on biofuel, as influenced by the CCXR sports car in 2007. Thanks to its highly adaptive engine management system, known as the Koenigsegg Engine Control Module with full OBD II and Flexfuel capability, the Agera R can switch between 95 Octane and E100 biofuel. It can generate 1,140 hp and 1,200 Nm with either fuel. This hypercar has the highest capacity on the return-less fuel system. Running on biofuel reduces the power to 960 hp with 1,100 Nm since the engine has to boost the pressure and ignition timing, which can be challenging. The latest turbo design technology by Koenigsegg gives the Agera F maximum flexibility to tackle any biofuel-related challenge. Another trick up its sleeve is the ceramic piston brake system that debuted with the Agera A. The engine of the Agera R weighs significantly heavier than the others in this list at 443 pounds. It implements Koenigsegg’s Electronic Stability control and F1-style traction control for optimal performance. With its dedicated Michelin Supersport tires, it can run 260.9 mph. Koenigsegg’s efforts welcomed the new 0-300-0 km/h Guinness World Record record set by the Agera RS in 2011 in just 21.19 seconds. This hypercar held the title for four years until the Koenigsegg One snatched it in 2015.
Hennessey Venom GT5 Credit: auto-data.net / Shutterstock.com Also known as the Fury, the bespoke Hennessy Venom GT5 has a Texas-built twin-turbo V8 engine that provides 1,817 hp and 52,000Nm of torque. The Venom is built strong with an all-new carbon fiber chassis foundation that propels it to a 311 mph top speed. The Venom GT5 only weighs 1,400 kg, but no parts were compromised or left out for everything to fit in. The secret lies in the combination of lightweight engine materials embedded with top-edge technology. Even the pair of Precision bearing twin turbochargers are adorned with 3D printed titanium compressor housings. This is beauty in the art of motor works. The Fury engine in the Hennessey Venom GT5 is indeed a representation of raw, unleashed power performance. Hennessy partnered with Shell Pennzoil to ensure that the lubrication in the engine will not cause any hindrance in achieving the full potential of the Venom F5. Being one of the fastest cars in the world, the Venom is likened to a piece of artwork that only very few people can have. Hennessey only created 24 of this automotive jewelry – 12 for the American market and another 12 for the International market.
Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 Super Sport Credit: Max Earey / Shutterstock.com Bugatti is known for creating super sport versions of their models. One of the most famous products of this is the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 Super Sport. The Super Sport sits king in the streetcars category. With a top speed of 267 mph, this super sports car can accelerate from 0-100 mph in just 2.5 seconds! As impressive as it is, the Veyron 16.4 even set the Guinness World Record as the fastest super sports car of its time back in 2013. Ettore Bugatti, the Veyron’s designer, made it a point to encase the perfect technology of this Bugatti in a design that’s easy on the eyes. Although it also features the orange-jet black color palette like the Chiron Super Sport 300+, the Veyron was considered a unique design when it was released. Since it’s a Bugatti tradition to only do exterior modifications that will contribute to the vehicle’s optimal performance, nothing is placed on the Veyron just for show. Blasting off with its 16-cylinder engine is made possible by the four larger turbochargers and intercoolers. It powers through 1,200 hp and delivers 1,500 Nm torque, making it one of the fastest accelerating cars when it was released. The chassis was reworked following the footsteps of motorsports models. The smart four-wheel drive system facilitates the safe transmission of power and momentum from the engine to the wheels tires for the perfect drive.

With a top speed of 267 mph, this super sports car can accelerate from 0-100 mph in just 2.5 seconds! As impressive as it is, the Veyron 16.4 even set the Guinness World Record as the fastest super sports car of its time back in 2013. Ettore Bugatti, the Veyron’s designer, made it a point to encase the perfect technology of this Bugatti in a design that’s easy on the eyes. Although it also features the orange-jet black color palette like the Chiron Super Sport 300+, the Veyron was considered a unique design when it was released. Since it’s a Bugatti tradition to only do exterior modifications that will contribute to the vehicle’s optimal performance, nothing is placed on the Veyron just for show. Blasting off with its 16-cylinder engine is made possible by the four larger turbochargers and intercoolers. It powers through 1,200 hp and delivers 1,500 Nm torque, making it one of the fastest accelerating cars when it was released. The chassis was reworked following the footsteps of motorsports models. The smart four-wheel drive system facilitates the safe transmission of power and momentum from the engine to the wheels tires for the perfect drive.
