Based on the technical characteristics and test results, the ratings of cars with the most powerful engines are compiled. Among them is a car awarded the title of the most powerful in the world.

Rating powerful cars

  Powerful motors are equipped not only with serial cars, but also with sports cars, trucks, and special equipment. Despite the fact that in the world in recent years, the most valued efficiency and environmental friendliness of vehicles, lovers of powerful cars remain.

From time to time, manufacturers surprise with the appearance of a new machine with an ultra-powerful engine. Next, we will take a closer look at several car models that are included in the ratings of the most powerful.

The predecessor of this "monster" had a capacity of six hundred and sixty horsepower - this is the Volvo D16. The engine capacity of the most powerful truck is sixteen liters.

This truck is designed for Europe and is the best for the most complex and lengthy trunk transportation. Volvo FH16 is the undisputed leader in the heavy truck sector.

Lamborghini Carbonado GT Mansory

  The new Lamborghini supercar, after being finalized in the Mansory studio, was in first place in the ranking of the most powerful cars. Its power is one thousand six hundred horsepower, which seems simply unbelievable. For comparison, the factory model Aventador LP700-4 has an engine that produces seven hundred horsepower.

The Lamborghini Carbonado GT Mansory is capable of speeds of one hundred kilometers in just 2.1 seconds, and its maximum speed is more than three hundred seventy kilometers per hour.

AMS Alpha 12 Nissan GT-R

  Amazing results were shown by the supercar AMS Alpha 12 Nissan GT-R, which is a tuned model of the Nissan GT-R with a capacity of five hundred and forty-five horsepower. Engine power was increased and amounted to one and a half thousand “horses”.

From zero to one hundred kilometers, the car accelerates in just 2.4 seconds. The maximum speed this supercar is capable of is three hundred and seventy kilometers per hour. The goal of improving the Alpha 12 is to create the fastest street car, and this goal has been achieved. From ninety-six kilometers per hour to two hundred and eight, this car accelerates in just 3.31 seconds. Even the fastest supercars can envy such an indicator.

Koenigsegg Agera R

  A new modification of the Koenigsegg Agera was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show - this is a heavy-duty sports car Koenigsegg Agera R. There they presented it as the fastest production car in the world.

The following cars are in the ranking of the most powerful: 2011 SSC Tautara (1350 hp), 2008 HTT Locus Plethore LC-1300 (1300 hp) and 2009 SSC Ultimate Aero TT (1287 hp), etc. Cars of this brand, according to the site, are included in the rating of the fastest cars.

The most powerful passenger car to date

  To date, the most powerful passenger car  recognized by the Dagger GT. The American company TranStar Racing was engaged in its development. Under its hood is an engine with a capacity of two thousand twenty eight "horses".

The dynamics of this car are also striking - up to one hundred kilometers it can accelerate in 1.7 seconds, its maximum speed is four hundred eighty-three kilometers per hour. Thanks to such characteristics, the Dagger GT has become the most powerful in the world. This car is twice as powerful as everyone knows. Bugatti veyron.

In the review of the most powerful cars presented below, all cars have a capacity of 1000 or more hp. At the same time they weigh half the size of the planes! Imagine how far engineering has gone since the war.

Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo. Power - 1000 horsepower. The price is 580,000 American dollars. On tests I managed to develop a speed of 416 km / h.

The famous Bugatti Veyron. 1001 h.p. 1,440,800 dollars. The engine has a capacity of 8 liters, so that a speed of 407 km / h is achieved. Interesting fact: If you move at the highest possible speed, then the 100 liter gas tank will be empty after 12 minutes. Most likely, everything was specially calculated by the manufacturers, since the tires explode after about 15 minutes when moving at such a breathtaking speed. Tires, by the way, are not cheap - $ 25,000.

Barabus TKR. Italians produce. Power - 1005 HP The price is $ 660,000. The 6.0 liter V8 engine can accelerate the supercar to 100 km / h in 1.67 s. The maximum speed is 437 km / h.

Bristol Fighter "T". This is an exclusive car brand, known in Britain for 62 years. Power supercar - 1102 hp The price is $ 670,000. The car is named after one of the most successful British fighters of the Second World War. Unlike other cars of this rating, Bristol Fighter “T” has a luggage compartment and is ideal for travel.

Koenigsegg CCXR. A specially modified version of the CCX accelerates to 400 km / h. Power - 1018 HP Weight - 1200 kg. A car costs crazy money - 2205600 dollars. There are only six such supercars on Earth, and each has found its owner. Of the "attractions", we note that the engine runs on biofuels, however, this does not prevent the car from accelerating to 100 km / h in three seconds.

Zenvo ST1. Price on request. Engine power - 1104 hp, cylinder capacity - 7 liters. The car is made in Denmark (who would have thought!). The maximum speed is 373 km / h, acceleration to “hundreds” - 3.2 s.

900S Mosler. 20 years have passed from the moment of the idea to its implementation. The result is 1,150 horsepower and a price of 329,000 dollars. The speed is 320 km / h, and up to 100 km / h the supercar accelerates in three seconds.

Lotec Sirius. It is produced by a small German company that works very closely with Mercedes. The engine of this particular company was taken as a basis for the supercar. As a result, the following characteristics were obtained: V12, power 1200 hp, 6 liter capacity, 48 valves, two turbochargers, 0-100 km / h in 3.8 seconds, maximum speed 400 km / h. The weight of the supercar is 1.2 tons. Price on request.

SSC Ultimate Aero. 1287 h.p. 620,000 dollars. This American car is famous for having overthrown the Bugatti Veyron in the “Most fast car  in the world". Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records recorded a speed of 411.85 km / h.

Locus Plethore. 1300 h.p. 412,000 dollars. The most powerful supercar in the world built in Canada by HHT Locus Technology. Manufacturers call it the “Quebec bomb”, although, admittedly, the indicators are not the most impressive (except for power, of course). The body is made of carbon fiber, so the car weighs 1,134 kg. The maximum speed is 328 km / h.

  The Dodge company can declare as much as possible that the most powerful and fastest muscle car is the Challenger. But neither Hellcat nor the upcoming Demon will be able to oppose the GT1000 S / C - the most powerful production Mustang, which is allowed to go on public roads. In 2013, it cost $ 209,990 - a lot for the Mustang, but bearable for the Mustang with a thousand horsepower under the hood.

The 5.8-liter SVT standard GT500 engine was completely redesigned, a new fuel system appeared, and the engine cooling had to be redone. Six speed manual gearbox  The gears were reinforced, and the suspension became adjustable. And, of course, Shelby specialists improved the braking system to upset the coupe with a maximum of 372 km / h.

Bristol Fighter T
In this modest British coupe with gull wing doors, there are 1,012 hp hidden from the eight-liter V10 from the Dodge Viper. The torque of the Fighter is no less outstanding - 1405 Nm. With such armaments, Fighter exchanged the first hundred in 3.5 seconds, as long as its rapid flight did not run up to the limit of 362 km / h.

Fighter T was the most powerful version of this model. In total, 14 such machines were produced, after which Bristol went bankrupt. The body, designed by Max Boxstrom, was quite aerodynamic at the time: the drag coefficient of the Bristol Fighter T was 0.255.

Mansory S63 AMG
  While Bugatti is once again wondering whether to launch the Galibier sedan in a series, the eccentric Mansory tuners are ready to offer wealthy customers a 1000-horsepower sedan. To do this, they will need one Mercedes S63 AMG and an impressive pile of money. The result will be a bit strange-looking, but still a sports car in the guise of a limousine.

To reach the level of 1000 forces, the customer must pay for the M1000 tuning package, which provides for a complete redesign of the engine: new camshafts, connecting rods, bearings, turbochargers ... As a result, 1000 hp and 1400 Nm. Acceleration to hundreds in the S-class from Mansory lasts 3.2 seconds, and the maximum speed is limited to 300 km / h.

Lotec C1000
  1000-horsepower supercars were long before the Bugatti Veyron, and here is one of them. Built in a single copy for a client from the UAE, the Lotec C1000 was fastest car  of its time, which was allowed to go on public roads. The emblem of Mercedes on the nose is not accidental - the supercar is equipped with an engine of the German brand.

Lotec engineers made it more powerful by installing a pair of Garrett turbines: the V8 managed to achieve 1000 forces and 980 Nm, which, coupled with a lightweight carbon body, makes it possible to accelerate from zero to 100 km / h in 2.8 seconds and develop more than 420 km / h . Lotec has another model, the 1320-horsepower Sirius, but about it somehow next time.
