Dodge Company can claim as much as they want that the most powerful and fastest muscle car is the Challenger. But neither the Hellcat nor the upcoming Demon can match the GT1000 S/C, the most powerful production Mustang allowed on the road. common use. In 2013, it cost $209,990 - a lot for a Mustang, but bearable for a Mustang with a thousand Horse power under the hood.
The standard GT500's 5.8-liter SVT engine has been completely redesigned, with a new fuel system, and the engine cooling had to be redone. Six-speed mechanical box gearing has been strengthened, and the suspension has become adjustable. And, of course, Shelby specialists have improved brake system, to upset the coupe from a maximum of 372 km/h.
Bristol Fighter T
This modest British coupe with gullwing doors has 1,012 horsepower from an eight-liter V10 from Dodge Viper. Torque "Fighter" is no less outstanding - 1405 Nm. With such weapons, "Fighter" exchanged the first hundred in 3.5 seconds, until its rapid flight rested on the limit of 362 km / h.
Fighter T was the most powerful version this model. In total, 14 such machines were produced, after which Bristol went bankrupt. The body, designed by Max Boxstrom, was quite aerodynamic for its time: the coefficient drag Bristol Fighter T - 0.255.
Mansory S63 AMG
While Bugatti is once again wondering whether to launch the Galibier sedan in the series, Mansory's eccentric tuners are already ready to offer wealthy customers a 1000-horsepower sedan. To do this, they need one Mercedes S63 AMG and an impressive amount of money. The result is a somewhat odd-looking, but still sports car in the guise of a limousine.
To reach the bar of 1000 horsepower, the customer must pay for the M1000 tuning package, which provides for a complete engine overhaul: new camshafts, connecting rods, bearings, turbochargers ... The result will be 1000 horsepower. and 1400 Nm. Acceleration to hundreds of the S-class from Mansory lasts 3.2 seconds, and maximum speed limited to 300 km/h.
Lotec C1000
1000-strong supercars were long before Bugatti Veyron and here is one of them. built in single copy for a customer in the UAE, the Lotec C1000 was the fastest car of its time allowed on public roads. Emblem Mercedes on the nose is not accidental - the supercar is equipped with a German brand engine.
Lotec engineers made it more powerful by installing a pair of Garrett turbines: the V8 was able to achieve 1000 forces and 980 Nm, which, coupled with a lightweight carbon body, makes it possible to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and develop more than 420 km/h . Lotec has another model, the 1320-horsepower Sirius, but more on that next time.
Power is a real passion modern motorists, because the more horsepower the engine produces, the more possibilities appears to the driver. In fact, unlimited power also does not bring anything good with it. Cars, the number of horses in which does not correspond to their weight and dimensions, are produced today by world brands not for sale on the mass market, but for demonstration performances and a technical race between different brands.
For this reason, the most powerful car in the world is almost impossible to see on real roads. These cars are changing each other in the Guinness Book of Records, continue to increase unrealistic four-digit numbers in the column of horsepower and torque. Today we will look at the top three most powerful machines in the world today.
Lamborghini Aventador LP 1600-4 Mansory Carbonado GT
This car was not produced by the Italian supercar giant. The car came out of the garage of the Mansory company, which is engaged in tuning cars and maximizing their power. That's why this car not included in the list production cars, but if you have a great desire and a lot of money, you can order the production of exactly the same copy for yourself.
Lamborghini Aventador in handling, the Mansory turned out to be an incredible car. He actually did not change the appearance, only slightly rounding some body parts. But the technical data turned out to be completely different. Features of the car's technology are manifested in the following figures:
- the maximum engine power is an incredible 1600 horsepower;
- acceleration to one hundred kilometers per hour will take 2.1 seconds;
- unit type - V12 TwinTurbo 6.5-liter Gas engine produced by Lamborghini;
- location power unit- in the back of the car;
- the maximum speed of the supercar is limited at around 370 kilometers per hour;
- the weight of the car is 1555 kilograms, which means the distribution of more than 1 horsepower per kilogram.
Here is such an unusual supercar that the tuning studio offered to its fans. To date, there is only one such version of the car in the world, and it belongs to the manufacturing company. The cost and other features of the machine are declassified only to potential buyers.
Such projects are important enough to understand the capabilities of the machines of the future. Of course, this is not at all practical car, which can be an excellent transport for a trip to work. This is a unique development from which you can draw ideas to increase the potential of serial machines and reduce fuel consumption. This is the main task of such supercars.
Mercedes SLR McLaren V10 Quad-Turbo Brabus
Another incredible car who held the lead in maximum power from 2010 until the appearance of Lamborghini by Mansory. Court tuning company Mercedes Corporation has carried out an incredible change of the legendary sports car based on McLaren - and without that not too much weak car. The result is a real monster with incredible features.
In the potential of the machine there is not only exorbitant power, but also characteristics that are quite suitable for operation. This means that the Brabus McLaren could very well be your purchase if you have a couple of million dollars to spare. Features of the technical part of the car are expressed in the following lines:
- the maximum power that the car develops is 1600 horsepower;
- the highest possible speed by car is 350 kilometers per hour;
- engine type - V10 with four turbines and a displacement of 8.4 liters;
- acceleration to hundreds takes exactly 2 seconds;
- the weight of the machine is 1750 kilograms.
The incredible power unit, developed in the very distant 2010, turned out to be a real mystery to the engineers of competing companies. It took the Italians four years to repeat the power record. From one liter of volume Mercedes engine performed by Brabus produces 192 horsepower, which even for the current sports cars turns out to be a very high result.
Of course, in Mercedes SLS special version the most expensive technologies at that time were used, which make the car truly unique and amazing in every way. The company's serial transport does not develop such capacities, and they are not needed in normal operation.
Nissan GT-R AMS Alpha 12
With a great desire Japanese company could overcome rivals in terms of maximum power. Perhaps the Japanese do not need the title of the most powerful car, or for safety reasons, the body sports car GT-R just couldn't take on more horsepower. But with the smallest in today's review Nissan engine ranks third in power.
Nevertheless, the car is not inferior to its competitors in terms of dynamics and potential top speed. Of course, this is the most fast car in the world, because the manufacturer pursued far from these goals in production. Current Nissan version GT-R AMS is able to surprise with the following characteristics:
- the maximum power of the power unit is 1500 horsepower;
- engine type - 4-liter gasoline unit V6 with a double turbine and a front arrangement;
- the maximum speed is limited to 370 kilometers per hour;
- acceleration to one hundred kilometers per hour takes 2.4 seconds;
- the weight of the car is 1687 kilograms.
Here are the specifications provided Nissan Corporation for your most powerful supercar. It must be said that this is not the only model of the company that has undergone such tuning. Among the cars of the corporation there are many powerful and hardy cars that have withstood the acquisition of so much horsepower.
It's interesting that Nissan GT-R in the version we described today, it turned out to be ten times cheaper than its main competitors. This supercar can be purchased for 200-300 thousand dollars, and there will be no problems with the supply of the car. It is this car that is common among lovers of real power.
We offer you to watch an impressive video about Nissan GT-R Alpha 12 with minor tweaks:
Summing up
Most powerful cars in the world today are represented by three of the most interesting developments. Each model has a certain charm and its charms, but there are also a lot of shortcomings, which does not allow cars to become popular in their extremely narrow segment of customers. Most successful option the car became the Nissan GT-R, even if it is not the most powerful in its class.
However, the world of cars is constantly evolving, new cars appear that can claim to be the most powerful. So in 2014, the Lamborghini Aventador appeared on the market, which more than doubled the factory horsepower. Would you like to have one of these sports cars in your garage?
In the review of the most powerful cars below, all cars have a power of 1000 or more hp. At the same time, they weigh half as much as planes! Imagine how far engineering has come since the war.
