Fastest Car In The World Top Speed List
1. Hennessey Venom GT – the Fastest Car in the World
Hennessey Venom GT – Top Speed: 270 mph/ 435 km/h
Hennessey Venom GT with 270 mph (435 km/h) top speed and makes 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds. Hennessey Venom GT has a 7.0 liter LS7 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8 Engine producing 1244 hp. Hennessey Venom GT has a price tag of $1,000,000 and up. The Venom GT is the fastest car in the world when tested again on February 14th, 2014 at NASA runway in Florida. The track was only 3.22 miles long, thus limiting it top speed to 270 mph.
In the eyes of Guinness, the Bugatti is still the world’s fastest production car. As TopGear.com explains, to get official status, the car must complete two runs, which are then averaged. In addition, the manufacturer must build a minimum of 30 cars. NASA reportedly allowed just the single run on its landing strip, and Hennessey is only building 29 Venom GTs.
The Hennessy Venom GT is produced by Hennessey Engineering Performance. The second fastest car on Earth is actually manufactured from a modified chassis of the Lotis Exige and is powered by a 6.2 liter V8 twin turbocharged engine from General Motors. This engine is also found in the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
The company said that it has been tested recently and can obtain a maximum speed of 260 mph. At the same time, the car itself can go from zero to 60 mph in only 2.5 seconds and from zero to 200 mph in 12.8 seconds. It also has about 1200 horsepower and a price tag of $1 million.
1. Devel Sixteen Hyper-Claims – the Fastest Car in the World
Devel Sixteen Hyper-Claims – Top Speed: 348 mph/ 560 km/h
The Devel Sixteen’s engine allegedly produces 5,000 hp (five times more than a Bugatti Veyron’s W16 powerplant), giving the car unheard-of performance. 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 1.8 seconds and top speed is 560 km/h (348 mph).
On the outside, the Sixteen can be described as a cross between a Lamborghini Veneno, a Pagani Zonda and a fighter jet – given the two enormous exhaust pipes that look like supersonic engines and the massive rear wing. I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe this specific example can even reach 250 km/h (155 mph) without disintegrating.
