The most powerful machines in the world

In order for a person to feel a dynamic set of speed, sitting behind the wheel, enough engine in 150-200 liters. from. Under the hood. It is difficult to imagine what a storm of emotions the car enthusiast feels by pressing the gas pedal of a car, the capacity of which is more than a thousand "horses". It's hard to even realize that such supercars do exist. But they are. And that's why I would like to talk about the most powerful machines that exist today.

German production

In 1962, Lotec was founded in the Bavarian town of Colbornmore. Its activity consisted in creating new cars and reworking / optimizing the finished ones. In 2004, this concern produced a hypercore, to this day included in all kinds of tops, in which the most powerful machines of the world are listed. It's about Lotec Sirius.

Under its hood is installed 6.4-liter twin-turbo engine V12, producing 1220 liters. from. This motor provides a maximum speed of 402 km / h. The first "hundred" model exchanges after 3.8 seconds after the start. To accelerate to 200 km / h, it will take 7.8 s. A mark of 300 km / h the arrow of the speedometer reaches 17 seconds after the start of the movement.

Hennessey Performance Engineering

This is the name of the famous American tuning studio, which creates very powerful cars. Two models, developed by him, are included in the rating of the best.

The first car is known as the Hennessey Venom GT. This sports car, which was based on the bodywork of the sports coupe Lotus Exige. Under its hood, three engines were installed, with a capacity of 725, 1030 and 1,200 horsepower, respectively. Versions with the last unit under the hood were accelerated to 100 km / h in just 2.6 seconds.

In 2015, even more powerful machines appeared, to the name of which the prefix "Spider" was added. Under the hoods of these versions was installed 1451-strong 7-liter engine, due to which the model reached a mark of 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds. By the way, its maximum is 427.6 km / h. This limit is reached if you remove the limiter. A with him it is equal to 415 km / h.

Another model from the studio is called the VR1200 Twin Turbo Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. Based on the name, it becomes clear which car was taken as the basis. But the characteristics of this model Hennessey is not like a base coupe. After all, under the hood, it has a 1226-strong 7-liter engine, accelerating the car to a maximum of 389 km / h. The mark in 100 km / h model reaches 2.9 s.

Auto from France

Listing the most powerful machines, it is necessary to note the legendary "Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super-Sport". Under the hood of this hypercar is an 8-liter 1200-horsepower engine. It was thanks to him that this model was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest car in the world. This car can accelerate to 434 km / h. But this is without a limiter. With this, this figure is reduced to 415 km / h. A mark of 100 km / h the arrow of the speedometer reaches 2.5 seconds after the start of the movement.

It is interesting that in 2016 the concern presented to the public the model of Bugatti Chiron, which became the successor of the legendary "Veyron". And the company in the plans for 2018 set a speed record on this machine. The maximum claimed speed is 463 km / h. And on it, with a full tank of gasoline (100 liters), you can go 9 minutes.

Italian models

Special attention deserves an eminent hypercar, known as the Lamborghini Gallardo Dallas Performance Stage 3. And this is a very powerful machine. Which model boasts an elegant appearance, but at the same time have under the hood a 1220-horsepower engine and accelerate to "hundreds" in 2.8 seconds? Only Lamborghini. A the maximum speed of this car is 376 km / h.

The second model of the Italian concern is called Aventador LP1250-4 Mansory Carbonado. It looks powerful and aggressive, and under the hood it has a 1250-horsepower 6.5-liter Twin Turbo engine, thanks to which the car can accelerate to a maximum of 380 km / h. A "hundred" he exchanges for 2.6 seconds.

Still attention should be paid to the model released by the Ferrari concern. This is the F12 Berlinetta Mansory La Revoluzione. This car has almost the same characteristics as the first Lamborghini. But he is different, not only in appearance. In the process of creating this car, aerodynamic methods were used, which the developers based on the programs of "Formula-1", which, as is known, makes strict requirements for cars and requires compliance with certain technical standards.

A still feature of this machine is the air channel, which goes through the flanks along the hood and sides. It provides maximum downforce of the model and dynamics.

SSC Ultimate Aero HT

The production of this supercar involved the American automotive company Shelby Super Cars. Under its hood is a 7-liter 1300-horsepower engine, controlled by a 7-speed transmission with a triple clutch disc. This car can boast of an effective braking system and dual water-air intercoolers. In theory, its maximum speed is 439 km / h. By the way, this model was released in a limited series. In total, 5 copies were published.

Also, when talking about fast, powerful cars, it's worth paying attention to the SSC Tuatara model, which has been produced since 2014. It is equipped with a V8 engine equipped with a turbocharger. And he produces 1350 "horses". Weigh such an aggregate relatively little - 194 kilograms. A unique feature of this model is the exclusive carbon-ceramic brake discs, developed by special order. The theoretical speed of this machine is 443 km / h. A "hundred" it reaches in 2.5 seconds.

Hypercar from Canada

Locus Plethore is the first Canadian supercar, a prototype of which was presented to the public ten years ago, in Montreal. The characteristics of the "debutant" are impressive, because under its hood is installed 1300-horsepower 8.2-liter engine, thanks to which the model can accelerate to 430 km / h (in theory). Many believe that the design of the car is similar to McLaren. And in the design of the salon there are similarities.

McLaren

This year this British manufacturer will release a new model, which will become known as P1 LM. It was impossible not to mention it, talking about cars with powerful engines. After all, this car will be equipped with a 3.8-liter 1000-horsepower engine, due to which it will be able to accelerate to 350 km / h. And the first "hundred" is achieved in just 2.4 seconds after the start of the movement.

In 2015, by the way, the model McLaren P1 GTR was released. The engine is the same, but there are differences. GTR is heavier than the novelty of 60 kilograms, and it is less dynamic. But not much. More "adult" model accelerates to "hundreds" in 2.4 seconds. But here the speed limit is higher. It is 362 km / h.

The undoubted leader

Above were listed almost all the most powerful engines of machines. Except for one motor - the one that is installed under the hood of the Japanese Nissan GT-R AMS Alpha 12. It is the most powerful car in the world.

His creation was engaged in tuning studio, known as AMS Performance. Specialists of the company seriously undertook the processing of the power unit. The power of the 4-liter V6 VR38DETT engine was able to force up to 1500 horsepower! And all thanks to the bored cylinders and the new firmware, which provokes the electronics and the motor itself to work in a more aggressive mode. But this was not enough, because the experts have also installed a new intercooler and a high-performance turbine. By the way, to run the engine in all its 1500-strong power, you need to refuel the car with gasoline used by racing teams. If you fill the tank with a normal, 98th, then more than 1100 liters. from. The car will not give out.

It is interesting that AMS Performance specialists are not going to stop at the achieved results. B plans - the creation of a 2500-horsepower engine. If the idea can be translated into reality, then the world will be the most extreme and powerful car. This GT-R, which is still in the planning stage, has already received the conditional name Alpha G. That is justified by the choice of a training platform known as Alpha Omega.

Compact models

Finally it is worth to say a few words about small powerful machines, among which the best in dynamics is the Abarth 695 Biposto. Under its hood is a 1.4-liter 190-horsepower engine, thanks to which this microcar accelerates to 100 km / h in less than 6 seconds.

Another worth noting is the 2-door Volkswagen Polo GTI. This is the most famous compact car racing car. Under its hood is installed a 1.8-liter gasoline engine, producing 192 liters. from. Of course, in comparison with the models described above, these characteristics are not very impressive. Ho still this compact car can accelerate to 100 km / h in 6.7 seconds, and its maximum is 236 km / h.

"Reno Clio RS" deserves special attention. It is difficult to imagine, but this cute miniature car is equipped with a 200-strong unit. And the speed of 100 km / h on such a microcar can be achieved a bit more than in 6.5 seconds. And its limit is limited to 230 km / h.

You can still develop this topic for a long time. In fact, fast machines with powerful engines there are much more - hundreds of them. A above only the most famous and impressive cars were listed. Ho and their characteristics are enough to understand how far the modern automobile industry has taken.
