DO YOU LOVE SUPERCARS?
Who doesn’t love supercars, if somebody
says that they don’t love supercars that’s only means two thinks one they are
lying or they never seen or heard of one.
Today I decided
to make a list of some of the fastest cars in this world (only claimed one's). This list includes different companies
who are well established in the automobile industry so come let’s see the list:
1.
Koenigsegg
Agera R (273 MPH/439.35KPH)
The Koenigsegg
Agera R was produced between 2011 and 2014. 18 examples of the Agera R were
produced during that time.
The Agera R
built upon the features and functionality of the Agera with new, unique
solutions to enhance both performance and visual appearance even further.
Enhancements
included: visible carbon on the front bonnet and bumper, new front side
winglets, an all-new Aero exhaust, increased engine power with a raised RPM
limit.
Koenigsegg was
the first hypercar manufacturer to take steps toward green technology with the
release of the biofuel CCXR in 2007. The Agera R, based on the critically
acclaimed Agera follows in the footsteps of the CCXR as it also runs on
biofuel.
The Agera R has
an upgraded fuel and engine management system that allows it to run between 95
Octane and E100 biofuel, or any mix in between. The engine management system
senses the fuel mixture and can adjust the engine’s operation ‘on the fly’.
The Agera R’s the fuel system has enough flow capacity to generate 1140hp and 1200Nm of torque on
E85 and E100 biofuel. As there is less energy content per given volume in these
biofuels compared to normal petrol, the fuel system has to manage a flow that
is similar to a 2000hp petrol engine, which means that the Agera R’s the return-less fuel system had the highest capacity of any car in production at
the time.
As 95-octane
fuel has fewer octanes than ethanol E85, the power is reduced to 960hp with
1100Nm of torque due to the boost pressure and ignition timing being altered to
match the fuel characteristics.
To give the
Agera R maximum flexibility when it comes to power delivery, Koenigsegg has
implemented the latest technology when it comes to turbo materials and design.
This reduces the inertia of the turbine wheel and axle and therefore gives
improved response.
The Agera R also
saw the debut of Koenigsegg’s own ceramic piston brake system.
In 2011, the
Agera R set a new world record for driving 0-300-0kph. The Koenigsegg One only
eclipsed the time of 21.19 seconds in 2015: 1.
Engine: 5.0 L (305 cu in;5,000
cc)twin-turbocharged v8
Model years: 2011-2014
Manufacturer: Koenigsegg Automotive AB
Price: $2.1 million
This one got
teach of biofuel which is the standout reason to put this car on this list and
it is one of those cars which set parameters for other cars.

2.
Hennessey Venom GT (270 MPH/434.52KPH)
In 2007, Road & Track Magazine invited Hennessey Performance to participate in a shootout between some of the world’s fastest supercars. The contest? Find out which car could accelerate from 0 to 200 mph in the shortest amount of time. Some of the heavyweights competing where the Mercedes McLaren SLR, Lamborghini Murcielago, Ruff Porsche 911 Twin Turbo, and the 1001 bhp all-wheel drive Bugatti Veyron 16.4. For our entry, the Hennessey team brought the company’s latest Venom 1000 Twin Turbo Viper. Each car on the 2.9-mile long runway at Lemoore Naval Air Station made several runs in central California. At the end of the day, the Hennessey Venom 1000 Viper was crowned king of the ROAD & TRACK “Speed Kings” shootout by posting the quickest time of the day by running 0 to 200 mph in an astonishing 20.3 seconds. By comparison, the 2nd place Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was nearly 4 seconds behind the Venom with a time of 24.2 seconds.” At the end of the Road & Track test, we were very pleased with the results and the Venom taking first place over the Veyron”, says John Hennessey. “As far as I am aware, we have the only car that has ever beaten a Veyron in an independent, head to head test of vehicle performance. While we were quite happy with that accomplishment, it did not take long for me to begin thinking about what could we do to improve the performance of our car.”
He continues, “I thought that we could possibly add a bit more power but had concerns about being able to put that power to the ground via the Viper front-engine rear-wheel-drive platform. My next thought was to reduce weight… try to lighten the Viper from 3500 lbs. to less than 3000 lbs. But that would not be a reality as the car could only shed about 200 lbs. while still being a true street car with a full interior, AC, etc. So I started thinking about lighter alternative vehicles that could be modified to 1000+ hp and that could put the power to the ground. The all-wheel-drive went against the grain of lightweight due to the added driveline components.”
“One day I joked about putting the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo engine in the back of a Lotus Exige. Then I thought, let’s do a sketch and see what that might look like. When I saw the sketch I stopped laughing and really started to seriously think about this idea. We then had a few more detailed renderings made. And when I saw these drawings, I thought to myself, we can build this car with 1000+ hp and a weight well less than 3000 lbs. A mid-engine design like the Ford GT will put the weight of the motor and transmission over the rear tires giving better traction. Design as much downforce as we will need to have a car that handles like a kart on the road or racetrack. At the same time also have a car with the best power to weight ratio possible giving unmatched acceleration. This is how the Venom GT concept was born.”
SPEED RECORDS
Engine: 2006: 6.3-liter 387.2 cu in V8; 2007: 6.4-liter 387.8 cu in V8 2013: 6.9-liter 423.6 cu in V8

SPEED RECORDS
On January 21, 2013, the Venom GT set a Guinness world record
for the fastest road-legal car from 0–186 mph (0–300 km/h) with an
average acceleration time of 13.63 seconds. Also, the car set an unofficial
record for 0–200 mph (0–322 km/h) acceleration at 14.51 seconds,
beating the Koenigsegg Agera R's time of 17.68 seconds, making it the
unofficial fastest accelerating road-legal car in the world.
On April 3, 2013, the Hennessey Venom GT crested 265.7 mph
(427.6 km/h) throughout 2 miles (3.2 km) during testing at the United
States naval air station, Lemoore in
Lemoore, California. Hennessey used two VBOX 3i data logging systems
to document the run and had VBOX officials on hand to certify the numbers.
On February 14, 2014, on the Kenndy space center's 3.22-mile
(5.2 km) shuttle landing strip in Florida, the Hennessey team recorded a
top speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h) in an extremely limited the distance of 2.3 miles (3.7 km) with the Director of Miller Motorsport
Park, Brian Smith driving the car. As the run was in a single direction, and
only 13 cars have been sold to date (to qualify for Guinness World Records a
minimum of 30 cars are required to be produced), it does not qualify as the
world's fastest production car in the Guinness books of records.
On March 25, 2016, the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder recorded a top speed of
265.57 mph (427.4 km/h) at California's Naval Air Station Lemoore,
celebrating Hennessey's 25th anniversary. As with previous speed tests,
Race logic as World Fastest road-legal open-top sports car independently
verified the run. In May 2016, the Hennessey Team revealed that the car was
about 300 hp (224 kW) down on power due to issues with one of the
car's three high capacity fuel pumps. Normally, the forced induction 7.0-liter The V8 engine in the Venom GT Spyder generates 1,451 hp (1,082 kW;
1,471 PS) and 1,287 lb-ft (1,745 N⋅m) of torque.
Engine: 427
cu in (7.0 L) twin-turbocharged LS7 V8

When this car breaks the record it takes over
all the headlines for at least a couple of days, and every car lover was
finding ways to buy it ASAP.
I personally love the look of it.
3.Bugatti Veyron
16.4(268 MPH/431.30KPH)
Since its launch in 2005, the Bugatti Veyron has been
regarded as a supercar of superlative quality. it was a real challenge for
developers to fulfill the specifications that the new supercar was supposed to
meet: over 1,000 hp, a top speed of over 400 km/h, and the ability to
accelerate from 0 to 100 in under three seconds. Even experts thought it was
impossible to achieve these performance specs on the road. But that was not
all.
Bugatti set the
benchmark even higher with the plan of turning the supercar into a luxury
road car suitable for everyday use. The development of the Veyron was one
of the greatest technological challenges ever known in the automotive industry.
Barely any parts,
components, or systems could be taken from existing car concepts and used in
the Veyron. Everything had to be developed from scratch to achieve the performance
specs and then everything had to be implemented in the car. The process also
drew on the experiences of other industries in which materials and systems are
routinely subject to extreme speeds and forces, such as aviation and space
travel. The Veyron is the first – and the only – supercar to be developed
and constructed with a series configuration that can master any driving
scenario at any time. Even 15 years after its launch, the supercar is still
setting benchmarks and inspiring emotion and enthusiasm across the globe.
The Veyron 16.4 is
completely sold out.
Engine:
8.0 L (488 cu in) quad-turbocharged W16
Model
year: 2005-2011
Price:
$2 million
This car is my personal favorite and it
is the most popular amongst all the cars on this list. Veyron has always been
in demand for the last decade. There are so many reasons to put this car on the
list, if I start noting them then this will take easily 5 or 6 pages.

4.9FF GT9 (257 MPH/413.60KPH)
Using a 4.0-liter
six-cylinder boxer engine, the car is capable of a 0-100 km/h time of 2.9
seconds. 300 km/h is reached in 15.8 seconds, en route to a 414 km/h
(257.2mph) top speed. If accurate, the 9ff GT9-R would become the fastest
production car built, beating out the 412.28 km/h (256.2mph) posted by the SSC
Ultimate Aero TT, despite a pending second world record run by Keating TKR, which has already hit 418.6km/h (260.1mph)
Those who do not need
quite that much power can take a 987-hp model built for the track, and just a
hair slower than the fully tuned car. Still, there is a 750-hp version on
offer that clears 300 km/h (186.4mph) in 20 seconds.
The engine is mated to
either a six-speed manual or a sequential gearbox. The five-speed
Tiptronic is an option for those purchasing the 750-hp variant.
9ff claims no two
vehicles will be identical, with a full slate of customization available on the
street-legal car. Multiple aero kits are being made available to
guarantee this.
Pricing was not
revealed on the 9ff GT9-R, but if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
This car is one of the
hardest to find details of it however I found some.
Engine: 4.0L
twin-turbocharged flat-6 designed
by Bugatti
Veyron
Model: 2008
Manufacturer: 9ff
Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH
Price: sold out a long time ago.
This car got a retro look which makes it a superb classic looking car that's why it is one of the rarest cars on the
list.it took me an hour of research to find details for this one but I still
didn't found official information.
5.SSC Ultimate Aero (256 MPH/412KPH)
From the beginning, Jerod Shelby and his team
knew that breaking into the industry of high-performance production cars would
require a feat of engineering and automotive ingenuity. Slowly, under a blanket
of silence, a small company in West Richland, WA formulated the plans for a supercar that they were confident would take the world by storm. Years of
design and development led to what the world would soon know as the Ultimate
Aero
Production
Drivers began taking ownership of their very own
Ultimate Aeros, realizing that there was much more to the car than just its top
speed. The design of the supercar made it a driver's car, with no driver aids
such as ABS or traction control. Owners, industry experts, and enthusiasts
alike were in awe of the elite handling, ride quality, and performance that the
Ultimate Aero had to offer.
The
world record
On September 13, 2007, on a rural paved road in
Eastern Washington State, the SSC Ultimate Aero became the fastest production
car in the world, dethroning the Bugatti Veyron's 253.81 mph title. With
Guinness World Records present to witness and validate the event, the Ultimate
Aero conducted two opposite direction passes and achieved an average top speed
of 256.14 mph.
Engine: 2006: 6.3-liter 387.2 cu in V8; 2007: 6.4-liter 387.8 cu in V8 2013: 6.9-liter 423.6 cu in V8
Model year: 2006-2008
Price: list price $740000 back in 2007
6.Koenigsegg
CCR (242 MPH/389.46KPH)
The CCR was an evolution of the CC8S, produced between 2004 and
2006. The CCR was produced in 14 examples in total.
Compared to the CC8S, The CCR featured an upgraded body design, a
larger front splitter, a rear wing, larger brakes, new enlarged tires, and
wheels plus upgraded chassis and suspension. The CCR also had a more powerful
engine with twin compressors, producing an astonishing 806 hp. All in all, the
CCR had a more racing car-like stance and appearance compared to the more
elegant CC8S.
The CCR managed to take the Guinness record for the world’s fastest
production car at the Nardo test track in Italy, in February 2005. The CCR
reached 388 km/h, beating the 8-year-old
record set by the inspirational McLaren F1. The CCR went on to set records at
the Nürburgring and at various other tracks.
The CCR still has performance that can match or beat many of the
latest hypercars. It truly was a car before its time.

7.McLaren F1 (241 MPH/387.85KPH)
The McLaren F1 is
a sports car designed and manufactured by the British automobile
manufacturer McLaren Cars and powered by the BMW S70/2V12
engine. Originally a concept conceived by Gordon Murray, he
convinced Ron Dennis to back the project and engaged Peter Stevens to
design the exterior and interior of the car. On 31 March 1998, the XP5
prototype with a modified rev limiter set the Guinness World Record for
the world's fastest production car, reaching 240.1 mph
(386.4 km/h), surpassing the modified JAGUAR XJ220's
217.1 mph (349 km/h) record from 1992.
The car features numerous proprietary
designs and technologies; it is lighter and has a more streamlined structure
than many modern sports cars, despite having one seat more than most similar
sports cars, with the driver's seat located in the center (and slightly
forward) of two passengers' seating positions, providing driver visibility
superior to that of a conventional seating layout. It was conceived as an
exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate
road car. Despite not having been designed as a track machine, a modified
racecar edition of the vehicle won several races, including the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it faced purpose-built
prototype race cars. Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998. In all, 106
cars were manufactured, with some variations in the design.
In 1994, the British
car magazine auto cars stated in a road test regarding the F1,
"The McLaren F1 is the finest driving machine yet built for the public
road." They further stated, "The F1 will be remembered as one of the
great events in the history of the car, and it may possibly be the fastest
production road car the world will ever see. In
2005, Channel4 placed the car at number one on their list of the 100
greatest cars, calling it "the greatest automotive achievement of all
time". In popular culture, the McLaren F1 has earned its spot as 'The the greatest automobile ever created' and 'The Most Excellent Sports Car Of All
Time' amongst a wide variety of car enthusiasts and lovers. Notable past
and present McLaren F1 owners include Elon Musk, Rowan
Atkinson, Jay Leno, George Harrison, and the Sultan of Brunei. In the
April 2017 issue of Top Gear Magazine, the McLaren F1 was
listed as one of the fastest naturally aspirated cars currently
available in the world, and in the same league as the more modern vehicles such
as the Ferrari
Enzo and Aston Martin One-77 despite being
produced and engineered 10 years prior the Ferrari Enzo and 17 years prior to the
Aston Martin One-77.

McLaren is one old and well-established company
in the industry.in my childhood, I was used to having a wallpaper of McLaren on
my pc.it is the oldest car on the list to have this record.
8.Zenvo ST1 (234MPH/374.98KPH)
The Zenvo ST1 is
a high-performance sports car manufactured by Danish company Zenvo Automotive. It
is the company's first model and is manufactured almost entirely by the hands
of a small team of workers, with the exception of a CNC router.
The Zenvo ST1 is a
high-performance sports car. Its twin-charged 7,011 cc
(7.0 L; 427.8 cu in) LS7 V8 engine generates
1,104 PS (1,089 bhp; 812 kW) at 6,900 rpm and 1,430 Nm
(1,055 lb-ft) of torque at 4,500 rpm. According to The
Motor Report, the car set a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 3.0 seconds,
with 0–200 km/h (124 mph) taking 8.9 seconds, and a top speed of
375 km/h (233 mph).
The ST1 is made
entirely by hand with the exception of high performance, 5 axis CNC
router. The ST-1 comes equipped with keyless entry, satellite

price of €660,000. The price for registering the car in Denmark is
around DKK 16 million (€2,143,952) as a result of the country's high
registration taxes; however, Zenvo is aiming at the export market
only. Production is limited to 15 cars.
Zenvo claims the ST-1
is entirely a result of Danish design. Christian Brandt and Jesper Hermann
designed the car. The carbon fiber body was made in Germany and many
components such as gauges, gas tanks, ABS brakes, traction control, and airbags
come from American or German-made cars.
