The most powerful car in the world this year

In speed and power, people began to compete ever since the invention of wagons on steam traction. With the development of technical progress, the thirst for speed has escalated to the limit. Engineers and designers are forced to invent ever more powerful engines in the hope of creating the most powerful car in the world.
In fact, the power of the vehicle depends not only on the power unit. In this figure, the aerodynamic characteristics of the machine, the chassis and the transmission structure are also contributing. The more optimal the ratio of all these parameters, the less power the engine loses, the faster the car can move. For the title "The Most Powerful Car in the World", representatives of the leading auto giants have been beating for decades.

To date, the most powerful passenger car Tuatara, equipped with a seven-liter bioturbot engine with an impressive "herd" in 1350 forces. He is able to accelerate the car to 440 km / h. The body of a supercar is completely made of carbon. In a couple of such a powerful engine, the developers have installed two gearboxes. One seven-step mechanical, the second sequential seven-band. The approximate cost of a supercar is almost 1 million dollars.

In second place is placed Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which has 1200 "horses" under the hood. With this potential, the car takes a truly sprint run up to a hundred - in just a few seconds the needle reaches the desired figure of 100 km / h. This miracle of engineering thought set a new speed record at 434 km / h. It is noteworthy that only one gearbox of this powerful "Bugatti" is more expensive than the entire car "Porsche". The original cost of the record holder with its eight-liter engine exceeded two million dollars.

The third unique car is included in the category "The most powerful American cars". Moreover, it takes the highest position in the American rating. This is the offspring of the Canadian automotive company HTT Autumobile. The car strikes with its rapid lines, huge tail lights and, of course, speed. On tests, he accelerated to 385 km / h. Still would! After all, under the hood is installed a turbo engine in 1300 liters. from. And the volume of 6.2 L. The body of the sports car is a carbon monocoque. The driver sits in the center of a spacious saloon, as a pilot. The cost of the car is about 1.7 million dollars.

The fourth place in the rating "The most powerful car in the world" is occupied by SSC Ultimate Aera. He entered the book of records, having shown in 2007 on a speedometer 412 km / hour. Under the hood of this machine is located 1180-horsepower engine, equipped with a mechanical supercharger. Appetite at the motor is pretty decent, within 80 liters, but not ordinary gasoline, but high-octane. The cost of this "machine" is 1.3 million dollars.

At the last position in the top five, fighting for the title "The most powerful car in the world", the Danish supercar Zenvo ST1 was established. On power characteristics, it leaves far the majority of its competitors. Under the hood of the supercar, the designers installed a 1104-horsepower seven-liter engine, which in three seconds accelerates the car to a hundred. Initially, the Danes estimated the car at $ 3 million, but they did not want to buy such a "toy", and the price had to be reduced.
