Everyone loves speed. Someone more, someone less. And everyone at least once dreamed of a ride with the breeze on luxury car along an empty road.
The greatest impression is made by riding on best car. Most of these are not affordable, so you just have to study the properties, characteristics and photos of unsurpassed iron horses. Which car is faster than the others? Consider the top 10 coolest and fastest sports cars.
10. Noble M600 - top speed 362 km/h
The Noble M600 is made in the UK. This supercar has been produced since 2010. The machine is capable of speeds up to 362 km / h. Other benefits include effective appearance. The car body is made from of stainless steel and carbon fiber. The car was tested on the Top Gear show, and Jeremy Clarkson praised it highly. IN American version show, however, the driver at a speed of 346 km/h felt heavy g-forces. The disadvantages of the car include its price: 330 thousand dollars.Noble M600
9. Pagani Huayra - 370 km / h
Italian Beauty Pagani Huayra - exclusive car. It has a top speed of 370 km/h and costs $1.27 million. This car has been produced since 2011, and it has already managed to “light up” in the cinema: in the film “Transformers: the era of extermination”, Pagani Huayra, so to speak, played the Decepticon Stinger. The editors of the site notes that the name Huayra, translated from the Quechua language, means "wind", and it is not surprising.Pagani Huayra on the road
8. Zenvo ST1 - 375 km / h
The Pagani Huayra is not far ahead of the Danish-made Zenvo ST1. This unique sports hypercar is stuffed with electronics and costs accordingly: $1.22 million. It is important that for a truly good speed Zenvo ST1 needs an ideal track (for Russia, we note that this is hardly achievable).Zenvo ST1 Video Review
7. McLaren F1 - 386 km / h
This McLaren model costs just under a million dollars and until 2005 held the title of the fastest car in the world. However, competitors are not asleep, and now this model takes only seventh place in terms of speed. A total of 106 cars of this model were produced. One of the owners of the luxury toy is British comedian Rowan Atkinson, known to viewers for his role as Mr. Bean.Bugatti Veyron vs McLaren F1
6. Koenigsegg CCX - 405 km / h
The Swedish "horse" Koenigsegg CCX is recognized by the most demanding experts, and it is not surprising: discontinued in 2010, this model was relatively inexpensive (for a supercar) and very fast. Its cost is about half a million dollars. Even before the start of sales, the car was handed over for a test to Top Gear, and the show team praised it a lot, while noting some shortcomings, such as the lack of a rear spoiler. Interestingly, the manufacturers took into account the comments and soon provided a new, improved version.Koenigsegg CCX Video Review
5. 9ffGT9-R - 414 km/h
German sports car 9ffGT9-R develops good speed, is relatively inexpensive (695 thousand dollars) and rightfully takes fifth place in the ranking of the fastest cars in the world. However, not all potential buyers and couch experts liked the appearance of the car: the car was scolded for its too elongated body and exorbitantly large, as if “surprised” headlights.9ffGT9-R: video review
4. SSC Ultimate Aero - 430 km / h
Authentic American supercar SSC Ultimate Aero was produced from 2006 to 2013, and until 2010 it was considered the fastest in the world. Buyers were ready to pay 655 thousand dollars for it - the car was even listed as the speed record holder in the Guinness Book of Records. Of the obvious disadvantages - the lack electronic control promises inexperienced driver certain death.SSC Ultimate Aero
3. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - 431 km / h
It was this model of Bugatti that moved the SSC Ultimate Aero off the podium in 2010. This car is capable of speeds of 431 km / h, and its cost is almost two and a half million dollars. Despite the high cost, the car is in great demand - especially among celebrities. So, according to the information of the ubiquitous tabloid reporters, Jay Z and Beyoncé gave the son of Prince William and Kate Middleton a Bugatti Veyron.Bugatti Veyron SuperSport
2. Hennessey Venom GT - 435 km / h
This is the second fastest car in the world, and it costs exactly one million dollars. The best way spend a million, but it's a matter of taste). These cars are made in Texas, tested at the Kennedy Space Center, and the quality is consistent: a two-door sports car is packaged in a carbon fiber body and equipped with seven liter engine in 1244 Horse power are turbocharged.In the time it takes you to read those first few words, the cars we're talking about today would have already scored 
speed from 0 to 100 km/h.
And now, the speed of these monsters would exceed 100 km/h, and they would be just a small dot on the horizon. Of course, if you were to tie a rocket to a grocery cart, you could repeat similar effect, but today we will talk about more real means of achieving this speed phenomenon, namely vehicles mass production driven by real people on real roads. So, the topic of discussion is high-speed sports cars. 2012 Nissan GT-R Premium, 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S and 2012 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. Having finished with the topic “Which subcompact to choose: Chevrolet Sonic LTZ vs. Mini Cooper S Coupe vs. Fiat 500 Abarth", we decided to define best sport car of the most prominent representatives of this class.
As is known, maximum speed The automobile will always be a marker of engineering achievement, but for those of us who see these achievements from the pedestrian sidewalks, they are as indifferent as Channel One news. But the acceleration of the car is for us much more useful indicators by which we can visualize the movement vehicle in space. These numbers are especially impressive when considering the balance of power and control that a car must have in order to achieve a great result.
The general similarity between all of our test vehicles is visible to the naked eye. Yes, they are all quite expensive - the price of some is equal to the budget of a couple of African countries. They all use waste energy in the form of turbochargers, and the gearbox pedal with double clutch has become commonplace for them. But the most important factor that unites these cars is that they all have four driving wheels.
To date, not a single car, even with the most sophisticated launch control system, with the sportiest engine and the most low-profile car tires, failed to break the three-second acceleration barrier without all-wheel drive - even the mighty ‘Merican Corvette ZR1 with a traditional 6-speed mechanical box gearshift and exotic dual clutch from the Ferrari 458 Italia, shows the acceleration time to 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.94 seconds
"GT-R" is a plate "reserved" for halo cars Nissan, which demonstrate the most powerful powertrains and Hi-tech. From the very beginning, these cars were positioned as an alternative offer to more expensive European sports cars and continue to use this approach to this day.
The sixth generation (R35) GT-R is the most skillful sport Nissan car to date, and least expensive copy in our test. General GT-R Feature Pack model range 2012 has gained some significant tweaks, but the most relevant for our test are the transmission modification and a new implementation of the launch control system called "R Mode Start Function". Boost pressure has also been increased, which is fed through an IHI twin-turbo and feeds a hand-built 3.8-liter aluminum V-6 engine. In addition to this, you can also name larger intake and exhaust pipes, as well as revised valve timing and air / fuel ratio in the air-fuel mixture. As a result, an additional 45 horsepower to the already existing 530, and a maximum torque of 448 Nm (previously it was 434 Nm). This car's all-wheel drive system has an ATTESA ET-S device, which has the function to transfer power from the front midship to the rear, where the 6-speed dual clutch gearbox is located, transfer case and self-locking differential, used cardan shaft from carbon fiber.
Appearance of a sports car car GT-R is the simplest and thus the least refined among the test subjects, the car is primarily designed to show high performance, and everything else is secondary. As for performance, the engineers coped with this task perfectly. Imagine, even the inner rim walls of the GT-R's 20-inch forged wheels are specifically serrated to better resist tire slippage during intense acceleration.
When the engine is started, the RMS function keeps it at a constant 4000 rpm - a value obtained by testing on various surfaces with new Bridgestone tires - while the power fluctuates around 340 horsepower and torque is at its peak. As soon as the brake is released, sliding is enough wet clutch in order to engage the transmission gap before the total power is delivered to rear wheels. Depending on the surface, 98% of the 448 Nm of torque is delivered to the rear wheels before slip is detected (recent tests are recalled with nostalgia ""). From the driver's seat, you will feel only a slight hint of wheel slip.
It should be noted that this is a fairly well-established system of the sports car in question, given that the GT-R has the least power per pound of weight, and helps the car maintain a leading position among the cars we test to 2 seconds of acceleration or to a speed of 70 km / h . If this car the article was intended to show which car accelerates faster in 2 seconds, then Nissan GT- R would definitely be the best sports cars in this test. But we won't stop at achieved result and let's move on, because we have two more experimental copies of SportCars ahead of us.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.84 seconds
The 911 is a car whose fundamental raison d'etre would be challenged by most engineers outside the walls of Zuffenhausen. Porsche). However, year after year, Porsche has steadfastly stuck to its line of development of the body structure of this model, which is inherently unbalanced with rear location engine within the design of the car, but which continues to either meet or exceed its rivals in various types competition.
911 Turbo S is the fastest Porsche ever seen modern roads, and the car that comes closest to breaking the invincible 0 to 100 km/h acceleration record set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4.
The Turbo S comes with an all-aluminum, Porsche-inspired, 3.8-litre direct-injection inline-6 engine with a turbocharger variable geometry, which supplies pressure to each row of cylinders. Building on Porsche's already reasonably powerful setup, the Turbo S gets revised intake timing and a boost at peak pressure (plus 2 pounds of force per square meter) to boost power to 530 horsepower (up from 500) and torque to 516. Nm (from 480). Other than that, the rest of the equipment comes directly from the standard Turbo, including items like a 7-speed PDK gearbox, composite ceramic brakes, forged RS Spyder center-lock wheels and a Sports Chrono package. After all the performance-enhancing treatments, the Turbo S weighed 10 kg less than the Turbo.
Porsche's all-wheel drive system uses a multi-disc center differential With electronic control to transfer the full 50 percent of the torque to the front axle. However, thanks to the unique rear-biased weight distribution, the 305mm rear wheels do most of the hard work.
With start control activated, the engine runs at 5000 rpm. Power at engine start is 450 horsepower with 472 Nm of torque waiting at the pickup. The connecting path between the brakes and the wheels is almost instantaneous - and much more noticeable than in the GT-R - but is softened by torque distribution and clutch slip, rather than power cuts. In the initial distribution of torque, only 16% goes to the front wheels, the remaining 84% goes to the rear wheels, which contributes to better energy savings under optimal traction conditions.
Unfortunately, this test vehicle cannot be compared with previous model Turbo S, but we shouldn't forget that 0-100 km/h in 2.84 seconds is pretty good in our crazy title race. best sports car this year!
Runner-up for Best Sports Car - 2012 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.52 seconds
As satisfying as it is to watch the underdog giants toppled, we have to admit that Bugatti is unequivocally dominating in its field. While some people think that just throwing some money into development and things will improve on their own, the reality is that you still need to apply innovative thinking and a clear methodology to achieve real success. With what forces this is achieved in the workshops of Bugatti, we recently told.
The $2.6 million Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is the king of the sports car kingdom, the best of the best. Mona Lisa in active dynamics engineering, exotic material manipulation and thermal management, the Veyron will never tire of being the topic of small talk discussions: “You know, I upgraded the tires on my handsome yesterday ... Only 35 thousand dollars, what a lucky one!”
But let's put aside these sentimentalities. This car is a masterpiece of engineering: the 8.0-liter aluminum quad-turbo W-16 engine - the first and only of its kind - produces a mind-blowing 1183 horsepower and 1106 Nm of torque, in comparison, the standard Veyron figures of 987 horsepower and 922 Nm of torque. The increase in power is due to the increase in turbos and intercoolers, as well as due to the free output exhaust gases. The rest of the development dollars went towards improved aerodynamics and extensive chassis upgrades for increased speed safety (now electronically limited to 415 km/h in the interest of tire conservation).
In order to start the show, the brake pedal must be pressed against the firewall (opposite wall) while the engine start button must be depressed with stability control engaged. When you throttle, the tachometer reading rises to 3000 rpm. Keep in mind that at these 3000 rpm, 1106 Nm of torque appear.
After takeoff, the Bugatti leaves the start line in a completely undramatic manner, without wheel spin, and in a moment the car is just a dot on the horizon. If you're behind the wheel of this car, then relentless overload can cause you to hold your breath, a completely normal reaction of the body when it needs to make sense of what is happening. By disengaging stability control and engaging in what our team called Impressive mode, the 5,000 rpm of the engine through the clutch is evenly distributed to all four wheels.
At 200 km/h, the Super Sport accelerates just as hard as a GT-R when its speedometer hits 130 km/h. Well, if you are able to finance the improvement of such a car alone, you and the cards are in your hands! In the meantime, "Glory to the King!", Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is truly the best sports car of the year!
And for a snack a small video for clarity. Don't judge me for "French")
Let's compare two generations of amazing cars.
Style: Bugatti Chiron vs. Bugatti Veyron
Considering that the predecessor was one of the most advanced production cars in the world, there is no doubt that new model it's something evolutionarily new.
Even though the Veyron was released 17 years ago, its exterior styling still looks graceful and sleek. However, of course, against the backdrop of the Bugatti Chiron, the previous generation of the supercar does not look so modern anymore.
Interior: Bugatti Chiron vs. Bugatti Veyron
Salon can be described as a simple combination of conservatism and luxury. But interior design is presented on a completely different level. In the new car, beautiful trim details are everywhere, ranging from stunning leather seats and ending with an incredibly beautiful carbon fiber steering wheel.
But most of all, the updated dashboard, which has a speedometer on which a maximum speed of 500 km / h is set.
Driving: Bugatti Chiron vs. Bugatti Veyron
The Chiron is equipped with 20" wheels at the front and 21" wheels at the rear. Width rear tires impresses with its size - 355 mm. In combination with all-wheel drive And new tires new, any driver behind the wheel of a Bugatti Chiron supercar will feel more confident on the road than in a Bugatti Veyron.
The chassis design used carbon materials. In the new supercar, the number of carbon components has increased, which has allowed for a better power-to-weight ratio.
Also, the more streamlined design of the Bugatti Chiron allowed engineers to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.
The new sports car is equipped with huge carbon ceramic brake discs. Thanks to expensive brake system, weighing 1,995 kg from a speed of 100 km / h can completely stop in record time. For example braking distances Chiron can be 31.3 meters. For example, the Bugatti Veyron has a braking distance of about 55 meters.
Engine: Bugatti Chiron vs. Bugatti Veyron
(two combined 8.0 liter engines). Of course, it is impossible to say unequivocally that these are identical engines. For example, the engine in the Bugatti Chiron received new, more efficient turbines, a new crankshaft, and new exhaust system made of titanium, which made it possible to reduce the rate of exhaust gases from the engine.
All changes in power unit allowed engineers to achieve from the motor incredible power: and 1600 Nm (max. torque).
The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox. By the way, this is the only 7-speed dual clutch transmission in the world that is installed on stock car paired with such a powerful engine.
According to the press service of Bugatti, the Chiron supercar accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 2.5 seconds. The maximum speed of the car (declared by the automaker) is 420 km/h. Although, as we have already noted, for some reason, the speedometer has a mark of 500 km / h.
But this is due to the fact that 420 km / h is the speed mark, above which the electronic speed lock will not accelerate.

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. Mainly 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 up to 346 km / h, since the driver felt very strong vibrations when traveling.
The maximum speed is 370 km/h. Market price- 1.27 million dollars. next number ranking of the most fast cars comes 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 on Geneva Motor Show automaker Pagani showed the Huayra BC, 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. This is comparable to the weight the newest Honda civic coupe, but 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 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. driver's seat, and steering wheel in the McLaren F1 are located in the center of the cabin. At the end of the 20th century, McLaren F1 received the title of "the most fast 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 presenter Jeremy Clarkson rode the CCX and praised the car a lot, but didn't like the shortage 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 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 engine. twin turbo from 1120 hp All 911 models in Porsche stories(with the exception of the Porsche 911 GT1) the engine is at the rear, while the GT9 is mid-engined for better weight distribution.
Theoretically achievable speed is 430 km/h. Offered for 655 thousand dollars. American from Shelby SuperCars (SSC) was the king of the auto world of speed from 2007 to 2010, beating Super version Sport by 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 has no electronic assistants to help control that 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 concern bought the Bugatti brand, he pursued one goal: 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- 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 most fast car in the world in 2018 and possibly 2019 (Bugatti plans to install speed record with Chiron). his photo 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 racing car, you don't need to be a professional to operate it. The vehicle is designed to automatically adjust driving as speed increases or decreases, ensuring optimal performance.
On the horizon also loom cars that are ready to compete for the right to be called the most fast 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 accident at the Nurburgring.
