This limited-edition coupe from Aston Martin was capped at 77 units, though after an accident in Asia, only 76 examples remain. Image Credit: Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings PLC Still the fastest production car the Stuttgart marque has produced, it is equipped with a hybrid power train that features a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V-8, good for 599 hp, and twin electric motors that contribute another 282 hp, bringing the sum to 875 hp and a stupendous 944 ft lbs of torque. In 2018, one 918 Spyder was recorded clocking 218.4 mph. Porsche did some light sandbagging when it claimed the top speed on its 918 model was 214 mph. (Three quick editor’s notes: our sole criterion is top speed, our floor for consideration is at least 218 mph and unproven manufacturer claims are denoted.) So, we’re updating our list of the fastest cars in the world and expanding it to show more wheeled lightning. And of course Bugatti is busy being, well, Bugatti.
Yet a relatively new name, innovative Czinger Vehicles, and long-standing icon Gordon Murray have both gained momentum. Then, in 2021, SSC North America turned a claim into reality, cementing the SSC Tuatara’s spot at number two-at least for now. In early 2020, a bevy of new hypercars was announced- several promising at least 300 mph. In 2019, amid fervent competition between Koenigsegg, Hennessey and Bugatti, the Chiron Super Sport bested the others by a horseshoed nose, achieving a staggering 304.7 mph. The year was 1987 immediately after that Italian stallion’s speedometer registered 201, the race to enter the 300 mph club began.
#PRODUCTION CAR SPEED RECORD CRACK#
The first production vehicle to crack 200 mph was the Ferrari F40.
