Top Fastest Car In The World In 2018

Bugatti Chiron -- 1,479bhp, 261mph (claimed)

Though we were introduced to the new Bugatti Chiron at 2016, we weren't exposed to the complete force of its 1,479bhp quad-turbo W16 until earlier this year. And when that occurred, any notions of the thing being only a reheated Veyron quickly evaporated. When it's eventually unleashed with its limiter, the world will be watching.

Tesla Roadster -- n/a bhp, 250mph (claimed)

Making no noise whatsoever, on the other hand, is Tesla's first entrance into the supercar bear-pit. That's fine though -- Twitter and internet forums make more than enough sound to compensate for your silence of electric motors. In the event the new Roadster ever does see the light of day, we're guaranteed a 620-mile range, functionality to embarrass a Bugatti, and all for a relatively reasonable $200,000. It could be a utopian supercar. Now all Tesla has to do is bring it to market in time.

Koenigsegg Agera RS -- 1,340bhp, 277mph

It's not annually -- believe it or not -- which you get a fresh fastest car in the world. Many talk the talk, but few actually set off at a straight line with timing cameras and gear on board to have the challenge. This past year, Koenigsegg did just that on a closed road in Nevada, also averaged out 277mph from the procedure.

Bentley Continental Supersports -- 700bhp, 209mph

Bet you'd forgotten about this one. Yes, before Bentley wowed us with all the sleeker, more raffish brand new Continental GT, it created a Supersports version of the outgoing car. And the headline was rather simply this: seven hundred horsepower. And yes, that's appropriate Victorian British imperial reel. It's not the most populous car on this listing by a perimeter, but that really is actually the reigning rate champ one of Bentleys, also incongruously magnificent consequently.

McLaren 720S -- 710bhp, 211mph

The McLaren 720S has attracted hypercar performance to the supercar realm. It's vividly fast, and on the street, you'd struggle to see a difference in impulse between it and the P1. But besides being a land-borne missile, it's also really engaging to drive at low speed and incredibly friendly and pragmatic, which can be even more of an achievement than its spectacular performance. It's TG's supercar of the year looks absolutely amazing after car detailing.

Lamborghini Aventador S -- 730bhp, 217mph

Talking of V12s, Lamborghini's flagship had a proper workover in 2017 so as to keep up with the aptly-named 812 Superfast. The Aventador S's enormous innovation is rear-wheel steering, that provides the new big bull something coming agility, but the extra 40bhp wrung from the 6.5-litre V12 is a bonus worth using.

Jeep Trackhawk -- 707bhp, 180mph

Bear in Mind that the Dodge Demon from a few slides past? The madder, badder Hellcat? Course you do. Now imagine the quantity of horrid light beer consumed with the individual who came up with the notion of slotting the 707bhp variation of said supercharged V8 to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This, not the Lamborghini Urus, is the most powerful SUV of 2017. 'Murica one, Italy, nil

Lamborghini Huracn Performante -- 641bhp, 205mph

It's a indication of how spoiled we've gotten by supercar power stats the Huracn's vital numbers almost look a tad limp in this company. No matter -- that is the best automobile Lamborghini has ever produced. It's hardly any less user-friendly than the normal Huracn, the downforce created is truly spellbinding, and we'll go out on a limb here and say that the infant Lambo may well be the best-sounding car on this entire list. Naturally aspirated V10s for-the-win.

Hennessey Venom F5 -- 1600bhp (claimed), 290mph (promised )

Hennessey's back , and he's heading for 300mph. The Venom F5, successor to the car that struck 270mph and established Hennessey as a participant in the top speed supercar match, is called after F5 category storms, which possess a windspeed score of around 318mph. Would the Texan underdog really take it into the might of the VW Group, and Koenigsegg? 2017's reveal of the new Venom was the opening shot of around two. Place your bets...

Porsche 911 GT2 RS -- 691bhp, 211mph

We waited a long time for Porsche to flip the 991-generation of 911 into a 'widowmaker'. When the 691bhp GT2 RS arrived, and we drove it, the most shocking thing was how habitable and un-terrifying it was. That's modern tyres and aerodynamics for you. And as a result, the GT2 RS blitzed across the Nrburgring at a new record time of 6mins 43.7sec. Note: to replicate this time you want to be as handy and courageous as an true professional racing driver.
