Today, the automotive industry feels great, because the demand for cars is growing every year, but few can really afford high-speed cars. What are they, these "reactive" four-wheeled friends. Which firms produce the fastest cars in the world? What is the price of such cars? We will try to disclose all these questions a little lower. However, immediately note that we will only consider serial machines. Let's start.
The fastest cars change almost every year. Manufacturers of this type of cars are constantly competing in this aspect, but at the moment we still have a leader capable of speeding up to the crazy 443 km / h - this is the offspring of the American company Shelby - SSC Tuatara with an 8-cylinder 1350-horsepower engine, 7 liters. Up to a mark of 100 km / h the speedometer's arrow rises in just 2.5 seconds - a true beast and a ripper of high-speed trails. This beauty was descended on the conveyor in the current year, and the price was a considerable 650 thousand dollars. Admire the car you can in the photo below. The second line went down Hennessey Venom GT 2013, the maximum speed of which is "only" 422 km / h. The car has a terribly powerful motor, successfully developing 1200 horses, which allowed this car to get into the Guinness Book of Records for the fastest speeding in 300 km / hour - 13.63 seconds. Hmm, a very serious opponent to the previous penalty. "Sotku", by the way, this predator also passes faster than the leader of our rating - 2.2 seconds. Auto photo below. Go ahead. On the 3rd place, the Swedish supercar Koenigsegg Agera 2013 R is nominated, developing 440 km / h, having thus 1115-strong motor with volume in 5 liters. Although his speed is higher than that of a silver medalist, however, he is inferior to him in acceleration, because up to 100 km / h the car has to "crawl" as much as 2.9 seconds. But the price is simply sky-high - $ 2 million, which makes it one of the most expensive cars in the world. The next round of this "high-speed hell" is a permanent opponent of our leader, developed by French engineers - Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Pressing the accelerator pedal to maximum, this car is able to develop 431 km / h, and the hundredth line may be behind after 2.2 seconds. This machine is equipped with an 8-liter engine with a capacity of a huge 1200-horse herd. It was this car that was officially recognized as the fastest car in the world. Why not SSC? At the official test-dispersal of Bugatti there was a representative of the German technical supervision and persons representing the Guinness Book of Records, who registered the speed officially. The price of this doll will be 2.5 million dollars. Not bad, right? Photo auto, as always, below. And, finally, the last car of our fantastically fast five. Well, one more model closes our rating from SSC, which is the predecessor of our faultless hero - SSC Ultimate Aero TT. This sports car is equipped with a powerful engine with a reserve of power in 1183 hp. Its maximum SSC squeezes at 425th speedometer mark, and it takes 2.78 seconds to solve the problem of overcoming 100 km / h. Clever little fellow.
Here they are - "ground pilots", the fastest cars, comparable in price to houses in Rublyovka or Manhattan. Most of them are destined to see only in the box-office film or video game, where we can even become their owners. Thank you anyway. By the way, somehow at the beginning of the article we mentioned that we will only talk about serial cars, but in fact they are very far from the records of the speed of ground transportation. Just a few words. What are the fastest cars in the world among the non-serial line? We will name only the leader. Absolute leader is rightly considered Thrust SSC, capable of developing an unthinkable 1,228 km / h (the speed of the Boeing 747 is 1000 km / h), and in a second it burns 18! Liters of fuel. The weight of the car is equal to 10.5 tons. We think all the fastest cars we remembered. It remains only to wait until 2014, when the developers, perhaps, will please us with new successes.
