Who is king of the quicks this year?
For decades engineers have tried to squeeze every last drop of power from their supercars, reaching speeds NASA would be jealous of! Here are the top speedsters for 2023!
6. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport – Top speed 439 km/h
Capable of a 2.3 second 0-100 km/h time, the Super Sport is an ultra-high-end top up of the already impressive grand touring monster. With a revised aero kit that generates more downforce, its quad-turbocharged 8.0 litre W16 engine cranks out 1,600 horsepower to crack the 400 km/h mark from complete standstill in under 30 seconds – ouch!
5. Czinger 21C – Top speed 452 km/h
Inspired by hypercar endurance racers, the Czinger actually has road-legal status! Tipping the scales at 1250 kg, the impressive 1.9 second 0-100 time and 1350 horsepower are gained from the 2.88 litre V8, a pair of turbochargers and a hybrid electric drive powertrain – the most power-dense engine of any production car on earth!
4. Koenigsegg Agera RS – Top speed 458 km/h
The Agera RS came suited up with a new, sleeker design from the Swedish specialists. It’s 5.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8 brings 1160 horspower, 0-100 in 2.8 seconds, and the Hypercar of the Year award! Thanks to its GPS-verified top speed of 458 km/h, it is now the source of influence and foundation for all coming models at Koenigsegg – and jealous competitors!
3. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ – Top speed 481 km/h
If you thought the Super Sport was a rocket, meet the 300+, a world-record-setting version of Bugatti’s legendary hypercar! This elite speedster uses the same potent quad turbo W16 powertrain that’s found in the Centodieci machine producing 1600 horsepower. Named after its ability to break the 300 mile barrier – this beast know how to brag!
2. SSC Tuatara – 482+ km/h
Beautifully designed in New York, the Tuatara is a fresh model from new American marque, SSC. Built around a carbon fibre monocoque chassis with carbon bodywork that boasts a game changing 0.279 drag coefficient, this hypercar features sick aerodynamics and crazy adjustable suspension which helps its Flat-Plane-Crank V8 pump out 1,750 horsepower – and second place!
1. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut – 531 km/h
The original Jesko was cutting-edge like no other hypercar. Now, it becomes extreme beyond words! With updated bodywork and a heavily modded twin-turbocharged eight-cylinder powertrain, this super special edition blows its base model and all competition off the track with a 2.5-second 0-100 time, 1600 horsepower, and seriously nasty 531 km/h top speed!
