First of all, you need to understand that speed limits can be:
A). global;
b). Local;
V). Special.
Global speed limits.
Speed limits, which are global in nature, apply to the entire road network of the country. And these restrictions are well known to you.
This and the notorious 60 km/h- on roads in settlements.
This and 90 km/h- on roads outside settlements.
This and 110 km/h- on highways.
Finally, it is known to all 20 km/h- the speed limit in residential areas marked with appropriate signs, as well as in any yard.
At the same time, on any section of any road, using signs or markings, you can enter
local restrictions ,
moreover, both in the direction of decreasing and in the direction of increasing the permitted speed.
This is a section of the road outside the settlement, and if not for the sign, you could move at a speed of 90 km / h.
But the sign is standing, and now, starting from the place where the sign was installed, the maximum allowed speed is 40 km/h.
This is the third transport ring in Moscow, and as in any locality, the maximum speed limit on this road is 60 km/h.
But on this site they allowed a sign 80 km/h
On this stretch of road, on the right lane, speed mode normal - no more than 90 km / h.
But on the left lane, the speed limit is unusual! Of course, as on any road outside the settlement - no more than 90 km/h.
But at the same time, it is necessary - at least 50 km/h.
You have just been driving at a speed of 90 km/h. But there are markings on the road, and from this place - maximum 60 km/h!
TO special restrictions speed can be attributed to the following cases.
First, it's towing.
In accordance with the Rules, the maximum permitted speed when towing mechanical Vehicle – 50 km/h.
Moreover, this rule is valid on all roads (both in settlements and outside settlements).
Secondly, this is a movement with a trailer.
On roads outside populated areas, the trailer “takes away” 20 km/h from global limits.
It should be understood as follows:
When driving on the motorway without a trailer - 110 km / h.
When driving on a motorway with a trailer - 90 km / h.
When driving on other roads outside settlements without a trailer - 90 km/h.
When driving on other roads outside built-up areas with a trailer - 70 km/h.
In built-up areas, all vehicles (with or without a trailer) have the same limit of 60 km/h.
Here's how they ask it on the exam:
You can easily deal with these tasks. But there are more difficult problems.
|
Which cars and in what cases are allowed to drive outside built-up areas at a speed of no more than 90 km/h? 1. Passenger cars when towing a trailer on motorways. 2. Passenger cars and trucks with permission maximum weight no more than 3.5 tons on all roads except motorways. 3. Everyone listed vehicles in the indicated cases. Task comment A question from the category of "difficult". But it is not difficult in itself, but because it was asked in such a way - it is not immediately possible to understand what, in fact, they are asking. And here's what they're asking: 1. Did you know that the trailer "takes" you 20 km / h. And if so, what is the maximum speed we will drive along the motorway in a car with a trailer? (The answer is 90 km/h). 2. Did you know that at the same speed (90 km / h) you can move along ordinary road outside the settlement (unless, of course, without a trailer). 3. Did you know that cars and trucks with a maximum authorized mass of 3.5 tons are subject to the same speed limits. |
Now about motorcycles.
Motorcycles are subject to the same restrictions as category B vehicles, namely:
- on highways -110 km/h;
– on other roads outside built-up areas, the maximum speed limit –90 km/h;
- in towns -60 km/h
And there is one question about it:
Now about mopeds.
Mopeds generally have a hard limit everywhere - a maximum50 km/h.
And they will also ask about this once:
In addition to the above restrictions, the Rules contain one more very important requirement:
Rules. Section 10. Clause 10.1. The driver must drive the vehicle at a speed not exceeding the established limit, while taking into account the intensity of traffic, the characteristics and condition of the vehicle and cargo, road and meteorological conditions, in particular visibility in the direction of travel.
Of course, when choosing a speed, the driver must take into account the visibility conditions at the moment.
In principle, 90 km/h is allowed on this road. But not now! If you now move at a speed of 90 km / h, then in addition to being deadly, this is also a violation of the Rules, namely clause 10.1.
In all cases, the speed must be such that stopping way was less than the visibility distance!
Now the visibility conditions are excellent. But look at the state pavement- this is a real ice rink!
And paragraph 10.1 obliges drivers to take into account road conditions when choosing safe speed movement.
And another point 10.1 obliges drivers to choose the speed according to the traffic intensity.
It doesn't matter what the speed limit is here. Now the driver is obliged to move at the speed of the flow, without leaving his lane.
Concluding the conversation about the speed of movement, it is impossible not to mention one more interesting requirement of the tenth section of the Rules.
The driver must not interfere with other vehicles by driving unnecessarily with too much low speed.
Please note - The rules do not prohibit slow driving, as such. The rules prohibit interfering by moving too slowly.
Imagine that the driver is driving down this street for the first time and looking for desired number Houses.
In this situation, moving slowly, the driver does not violate anything.
But now, moving slowly, the driver brown car interferes with other vehicles and therefore violates the Rules (namely, violates the requirements of paragraph 10.5).
And finally, last but not least.
Rules. Section 10. Clause 10.5. The driver must not brake hard unless it is necessary to prevent an accident.
The rules do not contain any restrictions on the dynamic acceleration. You can start as abruptly as you like, literally breaking away.
But braking is allowed only smoothly. Any hard braking is always a danger to traffic, and the Rules allow emergency braking only in emergency cases. At the same time, under emergency The rules understand the situation when it is necessary to prevent an accident.
10.1. The driver must drive the vehicle at a speed not exceeding the established limit, taking into account the traffic intensity, the characteristics and condition of the vehicle and cargo, road and meteorological conditions, in particular visibility in the direction of travel. The speed must allow the driver to constant control behind the movement of the vehicle to comply with the requirements of the Rules.
If there is a danger to traffic that the driver is able to detect, he must take possible measures to slow down until the vehicle comes to a halt.
10.2. In built-up areas, vehicles are allowed to move at a speed of no more than 60 km/h, and in residential areas, bicycle zones and yard areas no more than 20 km/h.
Notes
By decision of the executive authorities of the subjects Russian Federation increased speed may be allowed (with the installation of appropriate signs) on sections of roads or lanes for certain types vehicles, if the road conditions ensure safe driving with more speed. In this case, the permitted speed must not exceed the values established for the respective types of vehicles on motorways.
10.3. Outside built-up areas, traffic is allowed:
- motorcycles, cars and trucks with a maximum authorized weight of not more than 3.5 tons on motorways - at a speed of no more than 110 km/h, on other roads - no more than 90 km/h;
- intercity and small-seat buses on all roads - no more than 90 km / h;
- other buses, passenger cars when towing a trailer, trucks with a maximum permissible weight of more than 3.5 tons on motorways - no more than 90 km/h, on other roads - no more than 70 km/h;
- trucks carrying people in the back - no more than 60 km / h;
- vehicles carrying out organized transport groups of children - no more than 60 km / h.
Note. By decision of the owners or owners highways an increase in speed on sections of roads for certain types of vehicles may be allowed if the road conditions allow safe movement at a higher speed. In this case, the permitted speed must not exceed 130 km/h on roads marked with sign 5.1 and 110 km/h on roads marked with sign 5.3.
10.4. Vehicles towing power-driven vehicles are allowed to move at a speed not exceeding 50 km/h.
Vehicles carrying large, heavy and dangerous goods, it is allowed to move at a speed not exceeding the speed established when agreeing on the conditions of transportation.
10.5. The driver is prohibited from:
- exceed the maximum speed determined by the technical characteristics of the vehicle;
- exceed the speed indicated on the identification sign "Speed Limit" installed on the vehicle;
- interfere with other vehicles by driving unnecessarily at too low a speed;
- brake hard unless required to prevent an accident.
Which just did not set speed records on a car. The interest to conquer the track, probably, has always been in the blood of racing fans, from the very moment the cars appeared. And many succeeded.
Absolute result
So, before talking about all kinds of speed records on a car (of which there are many), it is worth mentioning the most important result. The maximum figure was reached in 1997, on October 15th. Then a new, absolute and to this day unconquered speed record for a car was set. 1229.78 km / h - the arrow reached this mark on the speedometer. Andy Green, an Englishman and fighter pilot, became the conqueror of the track. The record was set in the desert The car, of course, was not ordinary, but jet - Thrust SSC.
The track, the length of which was 21 kilometers, was marked at the bottom of a dried-up lake located in the Black Rock Desert. Andy's car was powered by two powerful, turbofan power units from “ Rolls-Royce". Each motor was equipped with forced draft. AND general power motors reached an incredible figure - 110,000 Horse power. It is not surprising that Green managed to accelerate to such a mark.
"Pioneers"-record holders
And now you can delve into other topics. So, the first world speed record on a car equipped with a motor internal combustion, was established by a man like Emile Levassor. This was in 1985. Then the Paris-Bordeaux race took place. In fact, it was the first speed competition! And Emil won them. His phrase, which he said after the races, is widely known: “It was crazy! I did up to thirty kilometers an hour!” Of course, at that time, at the end of the 19th century, the figures were indeed stunning. True, Emil also died because of his love for racing. In 1987, during a speed competition, he had an accident while trying to avoid a dog. He soon died due to his wounds. But his speed record in a car with an internal combustion engine has forever remained in history.
The following results have been officially recorded. In 1898, a speed of 63.149 km / h was reached. The motorist was Count Gaston de Chasselus-Loba. He then drove an electric car designed by Charles Janto. By the way, this was the first officially registered record.
Distance racing
Already at the end of the 19th century, speed competitions began to be held, in which motorists had to overcome a certain distance. Who was the first, he won, everything is logical. And the first was the 100-kilometer distance. She was conquered by Camille Zhenatzi, a Belgian motorist. And it was April 29, 1899. He also drove an electric car with 40 horsepower. The maximum he reached was 105.8 km / h.
The next distance was 200 kilometers. She was conquered in 1911. And then R. Burman became the winner. It is not difficult to guess that he was driving a car from the Benz company. His maximum car speed record was incredible - 228 km/h! What can I say, not all modern machines some brands can work out such a maximum.
300 kilometers was first conquered by H. O. D. Sigrev. This was in 1927. And its maximum stopped at around 327.8 km / h. Then, in 1932, there was a 400 km race. Malcolm Campbell managed to win. And it was 408.6 km / h.
John Aiston won the 500 km race in a Rolls-Royce Aiston in 1937. He “squeezed” out of the car a maximum of 502.4 km / h. And finally, a thousand kilometers. Garry Gabelich covered this distance in 1970, on October 23rd. His car was rocket car called "Blue Flame". amounted to 1014.3 km / h. Interestingly, the car was 11.3 meters long. The race was held on a dry salt lake called Bonneville.
Sound speed
And once it was overcome. This was first done by a man named Stan Barrett. This is a professional stuntman from America, who at the time of the event was 36 years old. He set a record in a 3-wheeler. It was called the Budweiser Rocket. By the way, there were two of them. The main engine is a rocket engine with a thrust of 9900 kgf. And the second - RDTT. He had a thrust of 2000 kgf. It was installed in the car in order to use additional power if the main one was not enough to overcome the declared speed.
The race took place at an air base in California in 1979. By the way, talking about speed records on a car, it should be noted that this one was just not registered by the FIA. And all because the rules of the organization say: to fix the result, you need to spend two races in two different directions. This is done to eliminate the slope of the track and the influence of the wind. Stan Barret refused it. He said the record had already been set.
For a thousand miles
So far, no one has managed to conquer the speed limit of 1000 miles / hour. This, it is worth clarifying, is 1609 kilometers per hour. But people who deal with cars do not lose their enthusiasm. They rightly believe that everything is possible, and this too. The designers of the Bloodhound SSC, for example, have a plan for setting a new record. Most likely, the car intended for the race will be equipped with three power units. The first will be a hybrid rocket engine. The second will be the Eurojet EJ200 jet unit, which is used on a fighter aircraft called And the third - V-shaped motor with 8 cylinders from the Jaguar concern. It will, of course, run on gasoline. But used this engine will be used to drive the pumps that pump fuel to the rocket motor and activate the onboard electric generator.
Other categories
Many women also set speed records in a car. Most best result- this is 843.3 km / h. It was reached by an American girl named Kitty Humbleton. And she set a record in 1976, in December. The engine power of her car was 48,000 “horses”.
The maximum that could be achieved by racers driving a car with a steam engine is 223.7 km / h. There were 12 boilers in the car, where the water was heated by combustion. natural gas. Approximately 40 kilograms of water were evaporated in the boilers every minute in this way. The power of the installation was approximately 360 liters. With.
And what about the speed record on a production car? Naturally, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport hypercar is the best in this regard. His figure is 431.072 kilometers per hour! But this is not the limit. After all, the fastest and most dynamic passenger car designed to drive on the roads has become ... Ford Badd GT! He was able to reach the mark of 455 km / h. And this is more than the notorious Bugatti.
Diesel "champions"
Cars that run on diesel engines are often underestimated. So, all stereotypes at the moment destroys JCB Dieselmax. This is not consuming gasoline, but diesel fuel. On it, under the guidance of the same Andy Green, they set a record of 563.418 km / h. It happened in 2006. It is worth recalling that a similar test was conducted in 1973. The result of that year was an order of magnitude smaller - 379.5 km / h.
The fastest production car running on diesel fuel is a German representative. And this is the BMW 330 TDS. Its maximum is 320 km/h. The unit of this model has 6 cylinders and a volume of three liters. Plus, of course, turbocharging. Motor power is 300 "horses". And the consumption, by the way, cannot but rejoice - only 8 liters per 100 km.
Other results
Above were the speed records by car over the years. As you can see, there are many good results managed to achieve not even in the XXI century. And indeed, it is! For example, recognized released in 1992 year Audi S4. This model is capable of reaching 418 km/h. In any case, this result was recorded during the race on the dry lake Bonneville. Under the hood of this all-wheel drive car was a 5-cylinder turbocharged engine. Its power was modified to 1100 hp. With.
And there was also a speed record for a car with wheel drive. It amounted to 737.4 km / h. And finally, it is impossible not to say about the speed result, which was achieved on a motorized log - 76.625 km / h! It was this indicator that the structure made of cedar logs and automotive parts. The record, by the way, is fresh - it was recorded in 2016.
Russian indicators
Naturally, speaking on such a topic, one cannot help but note the speed record for a car in Russia. On the territory of our country, Lada and Volga are produced - they are still as far away as possible. But still there is some interesting record in history.
It was installed by such people as Oleg Bogdanov, Vladimir Solovyov and Viktor Panyarsky - the team of the magazine "Behind the Wheel". Men in a VAZ-2109 car crossed the whole of Europe in 45 hours and 30 minutes. The start was in Moscow, on Manezhnaya Square. And the “jet trip” ended in Lisbon, not far from the Belen tower. The idea to make such a run did not come spontaneously. It was a response to the Portuguese initiative. In 1986, two Portuguese journalists arrived in the Russian capital from Lisbon. They covered the entire route in 51 hours and 30 minutes. Soviet journalists accepted the challenge and, one might say, won the unvoiced argument.
And there was another case in 2009. A resident of Samara on his "Lada-21099" reached a speed of 277 km/h! The most interesting thing is in a traffic jam, during rush hour, at about nine in the morning! The guy exceeded the speed limit by 217 kilometers. Also a kind of record. Possible, probably, only in Russia.
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 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 fastest auto goes beautiful Italian supercar made of carbon fiber. It is equipped with six liter engine V12 from Mercedes-AMG with 720 horsepower. Last year on 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. This is comparable to the weight of the latest 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 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 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 CCX in the list 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 release the fastest stock car in the world. The original Veyron achieved this goal, but it was soon deposed. SSC Ultimate Aero. That's why 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 luxury two-seater was developed after the success of Bugatti Veyron, which is considered one of the fastest and . Bugatti Chiron equipped with a 16-cylinder engine and its 1500 horsepower rush 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.
We will not be caught up - these are the words that have become the motto for many motorists who cannot imagine their lives without fast cars mobiles. How fast? Judge for yourself - almost all of our heroes who are in the top ten most fast cars planets, reach the coveted hundred kilometers per hour in less than 3 seconds. And their maximum speed exceeds not only 300, but even 400 kilometers per hour. Impressive! So what are these cars? It's time to get to know them better.
But we emphasize right away that the rating of the 10 fastest cars in the world is very mobile. It is possible that right now another supercar is being born, which in just a few months will officially be recognized as the fastest on our planet. But all this will come later. In the meantime, back to our impressive speed characteristics ten.
10th place - "Ferrari LaFerrari"
And let's start right away with a car that literally revolutionized the understanding of how a supercar should be arranged. Namely, from the Italian "stallion" Ferrari LaFerrari. The Italian hypercar is interesting if only because it has not the usual gasoline, but a hybrid power plant, which ten years ago the creators of such cars did not even dream of. But now the fairy tale has come true. Ferrari LaFerrari significantly outperforms dynamic characteristics all released before him production models Ferrari.
If the same Ferrari Enzo, which is not without reason reputed to be one of the fastest cars in the world, passes a circle on the track in Fiorano in 1 minute and 20 seconds, then the Ferrari LaFerrari takes a whole 5 seconds less to complete the circle. The advantage is huge. Just as huge and the price is indescribable Fast Ferrari LaFerrari. For a work of automotive art, they ask for almost one and a half million euros. And there is no release from buyers. All 499 copies of the divine LaFerrari have already been sold.
9th place - "Porsche 918 Spyder"
But the Porsche 918 Spyder can be seen a little more often than the Italian hypercar, as the Germans decided to focus on the model index and produce exactly 918 cars. The cost of each such car is very high. The German hypercar will cost the buyer more than 770 thousand euros. And in the case of the Porsche 918 Spyder, fellow motorists can be amazed not only by the cost of the car itself, but also by its amazing fuel efficiency. The manufacturer assures that under certain conditions, only 3.3 liters of fuel will be enough for him to overcome a hundred-kilometer section of the path. But at the same time, a hypercar from Germany accelerates so quickly that you are unlikely to have time to realize what is really happening - only 2.6 seconds and the treasured hundred is already on the speedometer.
And let the fuel consumption, which claims Porsche company, in real conditions will turn out to be an unattainable dream, but in any case, the Porsche 918 Spyder, if you do not forget that this car can rush at a speed of 345 km / h, is very economical. And all thanks to two electric drives, which, without the participation gasoline engine can accelerate this supercar up to 150 km/h. So not only the Italians, but also the Germans have already managed to launch an ultra-fast car with a hybrid power plant on the market.
8th place - "McLaren P1"
The British are not far behind. The new McLaren P1, in addition to the volume of 3.8 liters, also has electric motors and a block batteries. The McLaren P1 can travel up to ten kilometers on battery power alone, which is replenished every time the brake pedal is pressed thanks to the regenerative braking system. Not a drop of precious gasoline will be used up. But then ... It is worth pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor and after 16.5 seconds the McLaren P1 will reach three hundred kilometers per hour. And the drive doesn't end there. And the British supercar picks up the first hundred kilometers per hour in just 2.8 seconds.
7th place - "Lamborghini Aventador LP700"
All our other heroes have more familiar gasoline power plants. But that does not make them any less fast and interesting. Is it possible to miss the amazing Lamborghini Aventador LP700, which, like a bull during a bullfight, is ready to tear apart everything that comes in its way. And he has every reason to do so.
The 6.5-liter gasoline engine, which, after refinement, develops more than 700 “horses”, simply frightens with its capabilities. Behind the wheel of an Italian supercar, there is a feeling that the frenzied acceleration will never end. What numbers are we talking about? It takes only 2.9 seconds for the Lamborghini Aventador LP700 to dash to 100 kilometers per hour. And also this one. Each of its details is a small work of automotive art.
6th place - Saleen S7
By the way, not only European automotive manufacturers able to create ultra-fast cars. The Americans are also good at this. Take a look at least at the bewitching appearance Saleen S7, which is capable of accelerating to 400 km / h, and overcomes the line of one hundred kilometers per hour after 3.3 seconds after the start. But only the lucky ones will see this supercar in the parking lot near the supermarket. Painfully small volumes of its production.
5th place - "Bugatti Veyron"
But the Bugatti Veyron meets with enviable regularity on unlimited German autobahns. And in other parts of the planet, this supercar, which takes only 3.1 seconds to accelerate to the coveted hundred kilometers an hour, is quite common. And all because driving the Bugatti Veyron, whose engine power is 1020 horsepower, is no more difficult than a regular “charged” hatchback. So this car, whose speed ceiling is 434 km / h, can also be called the friendliest supercar on the planet. And only its cost is by no means friendly. For Bugatti Veyron they ask for at least one and a half million euros.
4th place - "Koenigsegg CCXR"
Swedish supercar Koenigsegg The CCXR is slightly cheaper, but has the same impressive performance. Its engine, which consumes not ordinary gasoline, but bioethanol, develops 1018 horsepower. Combined with light aluminum body this gives a top speed of 402 km/h. And up to a hundred kilometers per hour, a supercar from Sweden accelerates in just 3.1 seconds.
3rd place - "SSC Ultimate Aero TT"
SSC Ultimate Aero TT is even more powerful and even faster. The low-volume American supercar is powered by a 6.4-liter eight-cylinder engine with a turbocharged output of 1,183 horsepower. Naturally, with such power unit SSC Ultimate Aero TT easily overcomes the mark of 400 km / h and stops its acceleration only when the speedometer needle freezes at 421 km / h. They ask for the American "beast" relatively little - about 431 thousand dollars. The same Bugatti Veyron or Ferrari LaFerrari will cost several times more.
2nd place - "Hennessey Venom GT"
And here Hennessey Venom GT you are unlikely to buy. This car, which was actually created on the basis of the lotus Exige, well known to lovers of fast cars, was created rather not so that its creators could earn money from its sale, but in order to show the capabilities of the American tuning studio Hennessey Performance Engineering. And they are, it must be said, impressive. No wonder the Hennessey Venom GT even got into the Guinness Book of Records. This happened after the American supercar exchanged the fourth hundred kilometers per hour after just 13.63 seconds after the start, and a few weeks later the Hennessey Venom GT was able to accelerate to 427.6 km/h, which gave him the right to once again get into the famous book records.
1st place - "SSC Tuatara"
The last hero of our magnificent ten is another American supercar SSC Tuatara. The prototype of this car was shown in 2011 in Shanghai, China, after which the SSC Tuatara was demonstrated in the USA, but they could not fix it. mass production. So everyone who wants to buy this particular supercar will have to wait, but for now, console themselves with the hope that the eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine that develops 1350 horsepower can really accelerate this car to the promised 443 km / h by the manufacturer.
If, however, the declared 2.5 seconds of acceleration to one hundred kilometers per hour turn out to be true, then the SSC Tuatara can be safely placed at the top of the ranking of the 10 fastest cars in the world.
Although… Technical progress now moving forward with leaps and bounds. A few years ago about the appearance of hypercars with hybrid power plants didn't even talk. And now they are on the road. So it is possible that in 5-6 years the ranking of the 10 fastest cars in the world will look very different. After all, a production car must someday appear, which will accelerate to one hundred kilometers per hour in less than two seconds and overcome the mark of a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour. Which car company dare to take such a bar and is it possible in principle? Place your bets!
