The fastest market cars on the planet

See which cars are the fastest in the test from 0 to 100 km / h. The most incredible of these machines is that they can all run on public roads.

Starting from immobility to reach the 100 km / h mark in the shortest possible time became an obsession among supercar manufacturers. Each launch comes with an intense marketing campaign to publicize which model is the fastest in the segment.

One of the recordmakers, the Demon even raises the front wheels in the rush

However, comparing the figures released by automakers is not easy.

While some companies inflate their results simply to impress, others go the other way and disclose data lower than the real potential of the cars.

Veyron is always in the top positions of the world's fastest car lists

In addition, there is no way to find out what is the methodology of the test performed by each automaker. It is impossible to know if the start control was used (although most of the time the answer is yes), nor if the climatic conditions of the day (like temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure) nor what was the equipment used to carry out the measurement.

Lastly, there is the old controversy of acceleration tests of "0 to 60 mi / h (of miles per hour)", or 0 to 96 km / h, if we perform a simple conversion of measurements.

However, the difference of 4 km / h represents little impact on the total time of each car - proof of this is that, if we convert 100 km / h into miles per hour, the result would be an odd measurement of "0 to 62 mph" , Or just 2 mi / ha more than the traditional "0-60".

See below which are the selected models, starting from "slowest" to fastest.

Audi R8 V10 (0 to 96 km / h in 3.2 seconds)

Launched here in late 2016, the new R8 V10 Plus has a 5.2 V10 engine with 610 hp, coupled with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission.

New generation of the R8 is a race car authorized to drive on the street

Ferrari LaFerrari (0 to 96 km / h in 3 seconds)

The first hybrid Ferrari in history is also the most powerful: 963 hp are extracted from a 6.3 V12 engine with 800 hp plus an electric motor assisted by the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) of 163 hp.

The first hybrid Ferrari in history is one of the fastest too

Porsche 911 Turbo S (0 to 96 km / h in 2.9 seconds)

The most radical version of the 911 (without considering the GT3 and GT2 models) is powered by a 3.8 engine with two turbochargers.

Rumor has it that the coupe is one of several examples of supercars that accelerate faster than the brand itself.

Lamborghini Huracan Performante (2.9 seconds)

Developed for use on racetracks, Huracan Performante has not only gained fame for being one of the fastest supercars on the planet.

She is also one of the record holders of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, needing only 6 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a lap at the legendary German circuit.

Huracan Performante completed a lap at the Nurburgring in just 6min52sec

Ford GT (2.8 seconds)

In addition to being the reincarnation of Ford's legendary supersport, the new GT was designed alongside the 2016 Le Mans 24 Hours GTE Pro class prototype.

Powered by a 3.56 V6 EcoBoost engine of 656 hp and 76 mkgf of maximum torque, the car will only have 250 units produced per year by 2021. As the first 1,000 units have already been sold, those interested will have to wait for them to lie down.

The GT took home the Best Production Car Design Award

Caterham Seven 620R (2.8 seconds)

They are 314 hp extracted from a 2.0 Supercharged engine to move only 572 pounds. This makes it easy to understand why Caterham makes some of the most fun cars in the world.

Weighing less than 600 kg, the Caterham Seven 620R is a toy

Koenigsegg Regera (2.8 seconds)

The Regera is made of superlatives: they are 1,500 hp, 20,2, 204 mkgf of maximum torque and maximum speed of 402 km / h. Faced with these impressive numbers, taking just 2.8 seconds to go from 0 to 96 km / h does not seem so incredible. But it is.

The Regera has 1,500 hp and reaches 402 km / h

Tesla Model S P90D (2.8 seconds in "Ludicrous" mode)

No one would have imagined seeing a sedan among the fastest cars accelerating from 0 to 60 mph. But the Tesla Model S is not a regular sedan, especially if the Ludicrous mode is on.

There is guaranteed fun. Provided there is a nearby outlet to recharge the batteries, of course.

Main model of the Tesla, Model S leaves many supercars behind

McLaren P1 (2.8 seconds)

The P1 honors the tradition of the McLaren name: powered by a 3.8-liter V7 twin-turbo engine of 737 hp and an electric motor of 179 hp, the car comes from immobility and reaches 96 km / h in less than three seconds. If you continue to accelerate, you need only 16.5 seconds to exceed 300 km / h. Not bad.

It takes only 16.5 seconds for the P1 to reach 200 km / h

Lamborghini Aventador SV (2,8 seconds)

Probably one of the best cars ever produced by Lamborghini, the Aventador SV is incredibly beautiful and extremely fast. According to the brand, it takes 2.8 seconds to reach 96 km / h. The 200 km / h mark is exceeded by mere 5.8 seconds.

Lamborghini says the Aventador SV needs 2.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km / h

Porsche 918 Spyder (0 to 96 km / h in 2.8 seconds)

Introduced in 2014, the 918 Spyder is still the fastest car ever produced in series by Porsche. The automaker is releasing the official 2.8-second time to accelerate from 0 to 96 km / h, but some say that the car accomplishes this task below this mark - even if the vehicle does not have the Weissach Pack.

This package leaves him 41 pounds lighter thanks to changes such as the absence of the fast charging device for the batteries, the carbon fiber exposed in the body and the absence of paint.

Spyder has three engines and almost 900 horsepower

Radical RXC GT 2016 (0 to 96 km / h in 2.7 seconds)

Far from being the most beautiful supersport in the world, the Radical RXC GT remembers another prototype made to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. That should be why it needs only 2.7 seconds to get closer to 100 km / h.

The RXC GT is almost a racing prototype approved for the streets

Hennessey Venom GT (0 to 100 km / h in 2.7 seconds)

For years Venom has been struggling with the Bugatti Veyron - and now Chiron - for the title of "the world's fastest serial production vehicle".

The manufacturer says the car reaches the maximum speed of 434 km / h, but there has never been a consensus as to which one goes the most.

Hennessey says Venom GT is faster than Bugatti Veyron

Ariel Atom 3.5 R (0 to 96 km / h in 2.6 seconds)

It's been almost twenty years since Ariel has produced such unusual cars as the Atom. From a few days to now, taking less than three seconds to go from 0 to 96 km / h has practically become a rule within the brand.

In the case of the Atom 3.5 R (equipped with a 2.0 i-VTEC engine ready), it takes only 2.6 seconds. Just do not forget your helmet at home.

Without a body, the Atom 3.5 R is almost a go-kart in giant size

Tesla Model S P100 D with Ludicrous mode activated (0 to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds)

Tesla likes to say that the Model S P100D is the third fastest model in acceleration currently produced.

True or not, one thing is certain: the sedan is extremely fast if the Ludicrous mode is on.

The Model S P100D succeeds being even faster than other models

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (0 to 96 km / h in 2.5 seconds)

If the Veyron was already stupidly fast, Bugatti managed to make it even faster in the Super Sport version. After only 2.5 seconds to go from 0 to 96 km / h, it can continue to accelerate incredibly until reaching the 431 km / h.

It may be less than the Venom GT, but at least the Bugatti brand is officially recognized by the Guinness Book.

It only takes 2.5 seconds for the Veyron Super Sport to reach 100 km / h

Dodge Challenger SRT Demon (0 to 96 km / h in 2.3 seconds)

The Demon was born to break records. In addition to being the most powerful (851 hp) V8 engine ever produced in series, Challenger Hellcat's "damn" version also claims to be the fastest in acceleration time from 0 to 96 km / h, needing only 2, 3 seconds.

Made for the starting lanes, the Demon can be used on the streets

Ultima Evolution Coupé (0 to 96 km / h in 2.3 seconds)

Dodge says the Demon is the acceleration champion from 0 to 96 km / h. But few people remember the Evolution Coupé. Produced by the British Ultima, the car already carried out the test in the same 2.3 seconds long before the Demon was released.

This is a great achievement for a small company with virtually handmade production.

Evolution accelerates as fast as the Dodge Demon, but was born earlier
