While we’re just talking about bragging since the speeds we’re about to talk about are only used for racing, it’s true that it’s interesting to see how far car manufacturers can go to break records.
And that’s what having one of the fastest cars in the world has no incentive, even though automakers might say they have one of the fastest cars in the world. It is so simple.
In the past, manufacturers who claimed to have the fastest production car in the world have also claimed the absolute land speed record.
However, in the middle of the 20th century two record charts divergedas record cars began to resemble race cars, and production cars had to take into account the need for passengers, luggage, and of course, have a realistic price.
Despite this, we show that currently Top1 for SSC Tuatara with an officially recognized top speed of 508 km/h. The record surpassed the previous 365 km/h mark set by the Koenigsegg Agera RS in 2017 (by a lot).
In recent years, we’ve seen McLaren and Bugatti claim the record while a few more niche hypercar makers continue to fight for the production record. Nonetheless, SSC Tuatara with 1750 hp He took the crown of the fastest car in the world and no one has been able (at the moment) to steal his gold.
This Shelby SuperCars company, little known to the vast majority, is based in Washington and received this award thanks to test driver Oliver Webb, who reached this speed in Nevada, USA. It reached a top speed of 484 km/h on the first lap and 532 km/h on the second lap, for which an average of 508 km/h was set.
