We pass the time: the fastest car in the world

Is there a speed limit? The introduction of new materials and developments from year to year raises the bar of the maximum possible speed of cars. Over the improvement of this indicator, all modern automakers are fighting.

Mega speed for professionals
It's unlikely that anyone choosing a car will give preference to a sports car that can accelerate to hundreds in a couple of seconds. In everyday life, there is practically no place for applying speed superpowers. However, for fans of high-speed driving and professional racers, the ability to pass the speedometer on a speedometer for 400 km / h is a very tempting idea. But the dynamics of each car is different, as is the driving style of drivers. Therefore, for already a year, there has been a debate about how much the fastest car in the world can squeeze out.

In the not too distant future, British developers are planning to present a new sports car, capable of speeding over 1600 km / h in 20 seconds. While it is not clear how such a car can be adapted to the conditions of the metropolitan traffic overloaded.

Rating of the best

To date, according to recent tests, the fastest machine in the world is SSC Ultimate Aero 6.3. Its maximum speed capabilities are 443 km / h. It should be noted that the "hundred" this machine is gaining for 2.78 seconds. A fairly refined and modernized petrol engine allowed to drop the long-term leader in second place.

On the heels of the leader comes the ex-favorite of Bugatti Veyron. Since 2007, the title "The fastest car in the world", a photo of which was adorned with all car sites, was adamantly behind the "Bugatti". But progress has done its job, and the "outsider" with the updated engine easily bypassed the favorite. Bugatti Veyron is gaining a "hundred" a bit faster than SSC, but the maximum that its speedometer could show is 427 km / h.

The third position in the speed rating was taken by Koenigsegg CCX. While the sports car develops only 402 km / h. Conducting improvements in the model, improvements in the power pair and undercarriage can lead to redistribution of seats in the near future. And Bugatti Veyron, for so long wearing the title "The fastest car in the world", can move to third place.

Saleen S7 7.0 Twin-Turbo takes the fourth step of the pedestal in the rating of the fastest cars. Intensively developing in terms of technical equipment, Saleen is able to press competitors one more position. Now the achievements of the developers were noted by the arrow of the speedometer at 390 to M / h. Despite the fact that the sports car looks rather modest, it is able to challenge even the most famous rivals.

Closes the top five best light and fast McLaren F1. External forms similar to the point of the arrow the car is able to develop 386 km / h. And although it can not be said that this is the fastest car in the world, but, perhaps, the most elegant. "McLaren" by right is considered the most stylish of the "breed" of high-speed cars. And in his class he is the undisputed leader in speed.

The speed and beauty of design - those characteristics for which buyers are able to upload large sums. Therefore, manufacturers are working very hard in this direction. All cars top-5, in addition to the frenzied speed to which they are accelerated in a matter of seconds, are still effective and elegant.
