When the "iron horse" came to replace the peasant horse, they did not expect stunning speeds from him. However, times have changed, and not only people, but also cars had to adjust to the crazy pace of life. Here are a dozen leaders who have successfully coped with this task, and are the fastest cars in the world for 2019.
Since we could not measure the speed of the cars ourselves, only the speed indicators that were confirmed during official races or declared by the manufacturer if the races had not been carried out 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 most expensive cars in the world is a product of W Motors, a Lebanese automobile company based in Dubai.
The name Fenyr was named after the giant wolf from Norse mythology. One of the fastest cars in the world is powered by a four-liter Porsche twin-turbo engine with 900 hp. The claimed 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 please wealthy owners. For example, precious stones, gold thread, carbon fiber and titanium were used in the interior decoration.
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. The Saleen S7 was the first fully patented car and is also known as the first production mid-range car in America.
The S7 is a stunning supercar model from Saleen. It is equipped with two Garrett turbochargers with 750 hp. Redesigned front and rear diffusers and rear spoiler have resulted in up to 60% more downforce. The car accelerates to "hundreds" in 2.8 seconds.
Another Saleen S7 innovation is the centering of the driver's seat, which helps improve the driver's view.
8. Koenigsegg Regera - 410 km / h
Price - $ 1.9 million (125 million rubles)
The hypercar manufactured by the Swedish Koenigsegg Automotive AB was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015. This limited edition hybrid sports car is fast enough to go from zero to 100 kilometers in 2.7 seconds.
Christian von Koenigsegg referred to this luxurious hypercar as the craziest on planet Earth. The Regera version comes with a modified chassis; the rear is equipped with rubber mounts to help provide a comfortable ride. The car is equipped with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo engine that is capable of a speed 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 vehicles in the world. It is equipped with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a capacity of 1287 hp, and accelerates to the "hundred" in 2.8 seconds.
To maintain a balanced weight, carbon fiber and titanium were used to create the Ultimate Aero.
6. Rimac C_Two - 415 km / h
Price - 1.9 million dollars (125 million rubles)
Unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, this car promises to be the fastest EV 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 level 4 autopilot, all kinds of driver assistance systems and unlocked using facial recognition technology.
In just 1.8 seconds, the Rimac C_Two will be able to hit 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 on the list of the fastest cars of 2019 is the devilishly fast and beautiful hypercar, powered by an 8-liter four-cylinder W-16 engine with 1,479 horsepower. The car reaches the 100-meter race from scratch in 2.5 seconds.
Both the Chiron and the Chiron Sport are electronically limited to 420 km / h in Top Speed mode. However, Bugatti claims the Chiron Sport was five seconds faster in the Nardo test. And that's impressive, especially when you consider that the performance gains have been achieved solely through weight savings. The Bugatti Chiron weighs 1996 kg, and the Chiron Sport model weighs 1977 kg.
4. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - 431 km / h
Price - 2.6 million dollars (171 million rubles)
This French hypercar, which sprints from 0 to 100 km / h in just 2.5 seconds, has an interesting history. In 2010, his test races took place, which were attended by experts from the German TÜV and representatives of the Guinness Book of Records. Based on the results of two races, the average speed was 431 km / h. However, in 2013, the title of the record holder was taken away from the car, on the grounds that the production cars have an included speed limiter and are different from the version that participated in the test.
It took the intervention of independent experts to return the car to the title of the fastest of the serial. The experts decided that the speed limiter does not affect either the basic design of the car or the engine parameters.
As powerful as it is expensive, Bugatti's creation 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 for the "serial" king of the roads - the Veyron Super Sport. Under the leadership of pilot Brian Smith, the vehicle accelerated to 427 km / h on the basis of the American Navy Lemur.
And in 2014, during a single race, the coupe hypercar reached its limit of 435 km / h. Alas, this record did not enter the Guinness Book of Records for two reasons:
- an average of two runs in opposite directions is required;
- for recognition of serial production, at least 30 auto units must be produced.
However, the hypercar still got its record. The model with a removable roof - the GT Spyder Roadster - accelerated to 427 km in 2016, which was confirmed by a representative of the Racelogic company. So far, this is the highest result for a roadster.
The GT accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds. Slow compared to the number two fastest cars of 2019.
2. Koenigsegg Agera RS - 456 km / h
Price - 2 million dollars (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 has set an official world record for the rally on public roads in Las Vegas. Another record - as the fastest production car - was recorded at 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 dollars (105 million rubles)
Here is 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 Hennessey Special Vehicles. It was unveiled in November 2017 at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The F5 prefix was given in honor of the highest category for tornado classification, not in honor of a button on a computer keyboard.
Under the hood of the Venom F5 is a 7.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 1,622 horsepower and propels the roaring monster to 100 km in two seconds. All this madness has to withstand the Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires.
The only step waiting for Hennessey is confirmation of the Venom F5's speed by Guinness World Records experts. Because the declared 484 km / h is only a calculated parameter indicated by the developers. The date of the test drive is still unknown.
