When the “iron horse” replaced the peasant horse, they did not expect astonishing speeds from it. However, times have changed, and not only people, but also cars had to adapt to the crazy pace of life. Here are a dozen leaders who have successfully completed this task, and are the fastest cars in the world for 2019.
Since we could not measure the speed of the cars ourselves, only speed indicators confirmed during the official races or declared by the manufacturer if the races were not already taken into account were taken into account.
10. Lykan Fenyr Supersport - 394 km / h
Price - 1.9 million dollars (125 million rubles)
The younger brother of one of the most expensive cars in the world is a product of W Motors, a Lebanese automobile company based in Dubai.
The name Fenyr was given in honor of a giant wolf from Scandinavian mythology. One of the fastest cars in the world is equipped with a four-liter engine from Porsche, with twin turbochargers and a power of 900 hp. The declared acceleration time from 0 to 100 km / h is 2.7 seconds.
This model has been specifically focused on high performance combined with luxury to cater to wealthy owners. For example, precious stones, gold thread, carbon fiber and titanium were used in the trim.
9. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo - 399 km / h
Price - 555 thousand dollars (36.6 million rubles)
This is not just a car, but a true legend of the auto world. Saleen S7 was the first fully patented car, and is also known as America's first mid-range production car.
S7 is an amazing Saleen supercar model. It is equipped with two Garrett turbochargers with a capacity of 750 hp. Recycling the front and rear diffusers and the rear spoiler allowed to increase downforce by 60%. To "weave" the car accelerates in 2.8 seconds.
Another Saleen S7 innovation is to center the driver's seat, which helps improve driver visibility.
8. Koenigsegg Regera - 410 km / h
Price - 1.9 million dollars (125 million rubles)
The hypercar produced by the Swedish Koenigsegg Automotive AB was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015. This limited edition hybrid sports car is fast enough to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers in 2.7 seconds.
Christian von Koenigsegg mentioned this magnificent hypercar as the craziest on planet Earth. The Regera version comes with a modified chassis; the rear is equipped with rubber mounts, which helps ensure a comfortable ride. The car is equipped with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo engine that is capable of speeds of 1100 l / s.
7. SSC Ultimate Aero TT - 412 km / h
Price - 740 thousand dollars (48.8 million rubles)
It is one of the fastest production cars in the world. It is equipped with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a capacity of 1287 hp, and accelerates to “hundred parts” in 2.8 seconds.
To maintain a balanced weight, carbon fiber and titanium were used to create Ultimate Aero.
6. Rimac C_Two - 415 km / h
Price - 1.9 million rubles)
This car, presented at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, promises to be the fastest electric car in the world. Its creator is the Croatian company Rimac, which has already released the world's first electric supercar Rimac Concept One, accelerating to 340 km / h.
Rimac claims that the updated car will be very durable, equipped with an autopilot of the 4th level of autonomy, all kinds of driver assistance systems and unlocked using face recognition technology.
In just 1.8 seconds, the Rimac C_Two can reach speeds of up to 100 km / h, making it potentially one of the fastest cars ever produced.
5. Bugatti Chiron Sport - 420 km / h
Price - $ 3.26 million (215 million rubles)
In fifth place in the list of fastest cars in 2019 is the devilishly fast and beautiful hypercar, equipped with an 8-liter W-16 four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1479 horsepower. On the “hundred-meter” from scratch the car goes out in 2.5 seconds.
Both Chiron and Chiron Sport are electronically limited to 420 km / h in Maximum Speed mode. However, Bugatti claims that the Chiron Sport was five seconds faster during the test on the Nardo track. And this is impressive, especially when you consider that the performance gain was achieved solely through weight loss. The Bugatti Chiron weighs 1996 kg and the Chiron Sport model 1977 kg.
4. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - 431 km / h
Price - $ 2.6 million (171 million rubles)
An interesting story is connected with this French hypercar, accelerating to 100 km / h in just 2.5 seconds. In 2010, he held his test races, which were attended by experts from the German TÜV and representatives of the Guinness Book of Records. According to the results of two races, the average speed was 431 km / h. However, in 2013, the title of champion was taken away from the car, on the basis that serial cars have a speed limiter included and differences from the version that participated in the test.
It took the intervention of independent experts to return the auto title of the fastest of the series. Experts decided that the speed limiter does not affect either the basic design of the machine or the engine parameters.
As powerful as the expensive creation, the Bugatti is an integral part of the top 10 fastest cars in the world in 2019.
3. Hennessey Venom GT - 435 km / h
Price - $ 1.2 million (80 million rubles)
In 2013, the Venom GT tried to break the world record of the “serial” king of the roads - Veyron Super Sport. Under the leadership of pilot Brian Smith, on the basis of the American Navy Lemur, the car accelerated to 427 km / h.
And in 2014, during a single race, a coupe-driven hypercar reached its limit of 435 km / h. Alas, this record was not included in the Guinness Book of Records for two reasons:
- the average value of two races in opposite directions is required;
- for recognition of seriality, at least 30 units of a car must be produced.
However, the hypercar still got its record. A model with a removable roof - the GT Spyder roadster - accelerated to 427 km in 2016, as confirmed by a representative of Racelogic. So far this is the highest result for the roadster.
Acceleration of the GT model from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds. Silent compared to the second number of the selection of the fastest cars of 2019.
2. Koenigsegg Agera RS - 456 km / h
Price - $ 2 million (132 million rubles)
In 2010, Top Gear magazine named the Koenigsegg Agera the hypercar of the year. And this model was chosen not only for its beauty.
The Swedish car has a capacity of 1,160 horsepower, and it set an official world record during the races that took place on public roads in Las Vegas. Another record - as the fastest of serial cars - was recorded at around 445 km / h. It reaches the “hundredth mark” in 2.5 seconds.
1. Hennessey Venom F5 - the fastest car develops 484 km / h
Price - $ 1.6 million (105 million rubles)
Here's the answer to the question of what is the fastest car in the world in 2019. This is a new supercar from the Texas-based company Hennessey Special Vehicles. It was presented in November 2017, at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The F5 prefix was given in honor of the highest category for the classification of tornadoes, and not in honor of the buttons on the computer keyboard.
Under the hood of the Venom F5 is a 7.4-liter twin-cylinder V8 turbocharged engine that delivers 1,622 horsepower and accelerates the frantically growling monster to 100 km in two seconds. Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires must withstand all this frenzy.
The only step awaiting Hennessey is the confirmation of the speed of the Venom F5 by Guinness World Records experts. Because the claimed 484 km / h is only the calculated parameter specified by the developers. The date of the test race is still unknown.
