Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+
Top Speed: 304.77 mph (490.48 km/h)
Engine: Quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 with 1,600 horsepower
Details: In 2019, Bugatti broke the 300 mph barrier with a modified version of the
Chiron, the Chiron Super Sport 300+. This car is a blend of luxury and extreme
speed, utilizing aerodynamic enhancements and lightweight materials to achieve its
record-breaking performance. However, Bugatti announced it would not attempt
further top-speed records, focusing instead on other performance aspects.
2. SSC Tuatara
Top Speed: Claimed over 331 mph (532.7 km/h)
Engine: 5.9-liter twin-turbo V8 with 1,750 horsepower
Details: The SSC Tuatara, produced by Shelby SuperCars, aims to be the fastest
production car with a goal of surpassing the 330 mph mark. In October 2020, SSC
initially claimed a record-breaking speed of 331 mph, though verification was later
questioned, and subsequent tests have been conducted to confirm its true
capabilities. The Tuatara’s design focuses on aerodynamics, featuring one of the
lowest drag coefficients among hypercars.

As of 2024, the quest to create the world’s fastest car continues with
manufacturers setting new benchmarks in speed, aerodynamics, and power. Here are
some of the leading contenders and projects aiming for the title in 2024:
1. Bugatti Bolide
Projected Top Speed: Over 310 mph (499 km/h)
Engine: Quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16, producing 1,825 horsepower
Details: The Bugatti Bolide is a limited-edition hypercar specifically engineered
for extreme speed and track performance. With a lightweight build and significant
aerodynamic enhancements, the Bolide is expected to push boundaries in speed and
handling, representing Bugatti's pursuit of the ultimate performance car in 2024.
2. Hennessey Venom F5
Projected Top Speed: 311 mph (501 km/h) or higher
Engine: 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 1,817 horsepower
Details: Hennessey Performance’s Venom F5 aims to break the 500 km/h (311 mph)
mark. The F5 is named after the most powerful tornado rating, the F5, indicating
the car's intense power and speed potential. With an aerodynamic shape and
lightweight carbon fiber body, the Venom F5 is designed to become one of the
fastest production cars ever built in 2024.
3. SSC Tuatara Aggressor
Projected Top Speed: 330 mph (532 km/h)
Engine: Twin-turbo V8 engine with up to 2,200 horsepower in the Aggressor model
Details: Following the initial SSC Tuatara, the Aggressor version in 2024 aims to
solidify SSC’s claim as the fastest production car. With enhanced aerodynamics and
power, the Tuatara Aggressor is expected to surpass the Tuatara’s previous tests
and potentially set new records, though these runs may focus more on closed tracks
than public road speeds.
4. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut
Projected Top Speed: Over 330 mph (532 km/h)
Engine: 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 1,600 horsepower
Details: Koenigsegg’s Jesko Absolut is designed to be the fastest Koenigsegg model
ever. With a sleek, elongated body optimized for low drag, the Jesko Absolut could
challenge the 330 mph speed range. Koenigsegg’s engineering team has focused on
reducing air resistance, making the Jesko Absolut one of the most aerodynamically
efficient hypercars to date.
5. Devel Sixteen
Projected Top Speed: Up to 350 mph (563 km/h) (claimed)
Engine: Quad-turbo V16 engine with a claimed 5,007 horsepower
Details: The Devel Sixteen, developed in Dubai, claims to reach speeds never seen
in production vehicles, potentially topping 350 mph. Although still in development
stages as of 2024, the Devel Sixteen’s powerful engine and unique design position
it as a possible record-breaker, though verified top-speed testing has yet to occur
at this extreme level.
