| 10 fastest vehicles in the world as of 2022 |
10. Gemera Koenigsegg (249 MPH)
Two of the world's ten fastest vehicles are produced by Koenigsegg, which is sufficient evidence that the company is serious about its goals.
The Swedish carmaker, which was established just in 1994, has developed into one of the greatest in the business.
The strong 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged 3-cylinder engine in the AWD four-seater Gemara develops 1700 horsepower and 2581 pound-feet of torque, enabling it to reach a peak speed of 249 mph and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 1.9 seconds.
To top it all off, the Gemara is equipped with a small, 800V battery that allows it to run entirely on electricity for up to 50 kilometers.
9. Speedtail by McLaren (250 MPH)
It's reasonable to assume that McLaren knows what it takes to produce record-breaking supercars because the company has been in the hypercar game for a longer period than many of the automakers on this list.
The Speedtail is a Formula One classic that at one point held the record for the quickest vehicle in the world.
The car is expensive at $2 million, and some people could say that it is. Although there are choices that are quicker and more potent and cost less, this automobile is still ranked as one of the quickest in the world due to its reputation throughout the years.
A 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine in the three-seater McLaren Speedtail produces 1036 horsepower and 848 lb-ft of torque.
With a peak speed of 250 mph (403 km/h) and a quick 0-60 mph acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, this supercar will still be among the world's fastest production vehicles in 2022.
8. Valkyrie by Aston Martin (250 MPH)
Some brand names automatically connote performance. Aston Martin, a well-known British automaker, is also a member of the elite organization that includes automakers like Bugatti and Hennessey.
The Valkyrie acted as a trial run for the renowned British carmaker, which had a reputation for building excellent automobiles but nothing that came near to performance supercars.
Together with Red Bull Racing, Aston Martin's Formula One partner, they created this hypercar. A hybrid system is connected to a 6.5-liter Cosworth-sourced V12 engine, which produces 1160 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie can go from a stop to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a peak speed of 250 mph.
7. Rimac Nevera (258 MPH)
It's incredibly thrilling to see an electric supercar as one of the fastest cars in the world, especially with the globe pushing for greater electric vehicle production to make the earth a safer place to live.
The Rimac Nevera, which boasts a peak speed of 258 mph and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 1.85 seconds, has shown that electric cars are just as likely as gas-powered vehicles to compete in high-speed racing.
The car costs $2.4 million to purchase and has four electric motors that enable it to generate 1914 horsepower and 1741 lb-ft of torque.
6. Veyron Super Sport by Bugatti (268 MPH)
With a peak speed of 268 mph, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport entered the Guinness World Records as the world's fastest street-legal production automobile the year it was introduced to the market.
The Veyron Super Sport is still among the world's quickest vehicles in 2022.
The 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine in the hypercar cranks out an incredible 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque between 300 and 5000 rpm.
Not only that, but the automobile can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and costs USD 2 million at the base level.
5. Tuatara SSC (283 MPH)
The Tuatara is Shelby Supercar's (SSC) poster vehicle; every carmaker has one. Anything less than its present features would have been strangely unacceptable for a vehicle that costs $1.9 million.
Last year, SSC got into some serious water after asserting that the Tuatara beat the speed record by traveling 331.15 mph.
As the record's video turned out to be fake and a subsequent effort to attain those speeds was unsuccessful, the American manufacturer was subsequently charged with spreading false information.
SSC ultimately made an official admission that the Tuatara supercar's highest speed run in Nevada last year did not attain the 331 or 301 mph reported speeds.
"We were disappointed as a company to realize that we did not achieve this achievement, and we are in an ongoing attempt to break the 300 MPH barrier honestly, officially, and unquestionably," the announcement's portion stated.
With a top speed of 283 mph provided by a 5.9-liter flat-plane crank twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the SSC Tuatara still ranks among the most potent hypercars in the world in 2022.
It also produces a best-in-class 1350 horsepower when using 91 octane fuel and as much as 1750 hp when using E85 ethanol. Additionally, the automobile can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds.
4. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ (305 MPH)
At one point, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ was the quickest production vehicle made by Bugatti. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ was the first hypercar to reach 300 mph when it was released.
It established the standard for other manufacturers to follow, and as a result, we now have hypercars with peak speeds of more than 300 mph, similar to some of the ones we've already covered.
It's hard to identify a drawback to this car because it successfully strikes a balance between form and function.
The hypercar's enormous 8.0-liter W16 quadruple-turbocharged engine generates 1600 horsepower and 1180 lb-ft of torque, and it can accelerate from a stop to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds.
The starting price for the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is €3.5 million, or almost $4 million at the current exchange rate.
3. Bolide by Bugatti (310 MPH)
The Chiron Super Sport 300+, one of the world's fastest hypercars, was produced by French luxury automaker Bugatti to great success. This inspired them to return to their nest and create Chiron's younger brother, Bolide, who is quicker than the original.
The Bolide was designed by Bugatti to attain an estimated peak speed of 310 mph, defying the popular belief that it wouldn't be as quick as the Chiron Super Sport.
The 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that powers the powerful Bugatti Bolide generates 1825 horsepower and 1364 lb-ft of torque.
It is reasonable to conclude that there is more to this car's performance than its peak speed because it only rises 39.2 inches off the ground.
With a 0-60 mph acceleration time of just 2.17 seconds, the Bugatti Bolide is not only one of the fastest vehicles in the world, but also one of the quickest.
2. Venom F5 by Hennessey (311 MPH)
Every production in the John Hennessey Venom line, much like every production in the automobile business, has a plot that transports viewers back in time.
Hennessey wanted to create this hypercar in part to pay homage to the fastest tornadoes, but they also wanted it to fit into the story. The Hennessey Venom F5 was eventually created, and it did set records.
A frightening way to make a statement was to arrive at a peak speed of 311 mph, but Hennessey couldn't give a damn.
A 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine installed in the rear-midsection of the Hennessey Venom F5 generates an industry-best 1817 horsepower and 1,193 lb-ft of torque.
Unfortunately, only 24 units of the Venom F5 were made, so finding one in 2022 could prove to be quite a challenge.
1. Jesko Koenigsegg Absolut (330 MPH)
Wait till you witness the performance of the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut if you thought the Hennessey Venom F5 is a powerhouse.
All thanks to the genius of the Swedish automaker Koenigsegg, when we look at this hypercar, we witness pure power at its best.
When the Jesko Absolut was initially released, it not only broke the record for the fastest automobile in the world, but also established a brand-new record that other companies have since tried to match.
If you're wondering what the fastest automobile in the world will be in 2022, at the time of writing, no other vehicle had been able to surpass or reach the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut's peak speed of 330 mph (531 km/h).
This hypercar has a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine that is so potent that it produces 1106 pound-feet of torque and 1600 horsepower while operating on ordinary gasoline and E85.
Every surface part of the 2022 Jesko Absolute hypercar has been intended to increase high-speed stability while reducing drag or surrounding turbulence.
It includes the world's lightest V8 crankshaft, which weighs just 12.5 kg.
