TOP 10 MOST POWERFUL CARS IN 2022
There was a time when passing the 500 horsepower mark was a feat, an event so rare that we talked about it for years. Today, it is the average power of a sports car like the Chevrolet Corvette or the Dodge Challenger and we are not even talking about their most powerful versions.
In the early 2000s, Bugatti hit the market with the legendary Veyron, which boasted 1,001 horsepower. The latter was equipped with an 8.0 liter W16 engine with 4 turbochargers and it could reach a top speed of 407 kilometers per hour. This car has also broken many records in its time.
Today, it is not uncommon for an exotic car to approach 800 horsepower and even exceed the 1000 horsepower mark for certain models. However, the cars we are going to tell you about are much more powerful than that and some even exceed the 2,000 horsepower mark.
10 – Koenigsegg Regera – 1,500 horsepower
When a top 10 starts with a car with more than 1,500 horsepower and whose top speed is well over 400 km/h, we know that we are dealing with something serious. Even if the Koenigsegg Regera is a hybrid car, it is far from a Toyota Prius. It will be produced in only 80 copies and it is a true work of modern engineering.
9 – Koenigsegg Jesko – 1,600 horsepower
Of course, when your name is Koenigsegg, you accumulate success and that's why a second car from the Swedish manufacturer is in this top 10. This time, it's the Jesko in its Absolut version which displays 1,600 horsepower, no less. It’s a visceral car and it borders on technical perfection. It must be said that unlike brands like Ferrari or Lamborghini, the founder of Koenigsegg is still alive and very involved in the brand, which allows him to evolve at an incredible speed. Not to mention that Christian Von Koenigsegg is an engineer by training himself.
8–Bugatti Chiron –1,600 horsepower
Since the Veyron broke speed records, Bugatti is a brand that everyone knows and history of maintaining its reputation, the French manufacturer has aimed even higher with the Chiron which displays a power of 1,600 horsepower in its version the most powerful. The Chiron is also one of the fastest cars currently in production with a top speed of over 490 km/h.
7 – Bugatti Centodieci – 1,600 horsepower
Bugatti has produced many exclusive limited production cars based on the Chiron and one of them is the Centodieci. This is a car designed as a tribute to the EB110, one of the brand's most legendary cars. Of course, the French manufacturer took the opportunity to add its most powerful engine to it, which means that it ends up with more than 1,600 horsepower under the hood.
6 – Henessey Venom F5 – 1,622 horsepower
Hennessey is an American company that is best known for the cars it manufactures from production models such as the F-150 Raptor 6x6. However, the automaker also offers home-built vehicles, including the Venom F5, a hypercar with over 1,622 horsepower. This car is capable of achieving a top speed of over 437 kilometers per hour which also makes it one of the fastest production cars currently available on the market.
5 – SSC Tuatara - 1,774 horsepower
Manufactured by the legendary Jarod Shelby who, strangely, is not related to Carroll Shelby, the SSC Tuatara created quite a stir on social media after reaching a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, which many people have quickly questioned. Finally, it was later shown that it was a technical error that led the SSC team to believe that the car had reached such a car. However, what is certain is that the SSC Tuatara does indeed display a power of 1774 horsepower.
4 – Pininfarina Battista – 1,900 horsepower
Pininfarina is a design firm behind many of the world's finest cars, including many Ferrari models. So, needless to say, collectors and car enthusiasts jumped for joy when they learned that the brand was going to launch its own car, the Battista. The latter boasts over 1,900 horsepower and can do 0-100 in less than 2.0 seconds, which is starting to get seriously fast. However, its top speed is limited to 350 kilometers per hour.
3 – Rimac Nevera – 1,914 horsepower
Rimac is a Croatian car manufacturer that quickly rose to prominence thanks to the accident of famous journalist Richard Hammond. The Nevera is a very impressive car technically, especially when you consider that it is a 100% electric car and boasts over 1,914 horsepower.
2 – Lotus Evija – 2,000 horsepower
The Lotus Evija packs in over 2,000 horsepower and it's not even the most powerful car on this list, which is staggering. This power is made possible by 4 electric motors with a power of 500 horsepower each and as you guessed it, there is one for each wheel.
1 – Aspark Owl – 2,012 horsepower
Chances are you've never talked about this car since the Japanese brand is still in its infancy and production of the Owl only started two years ago. It's a 2,012 horsepower car that slays 0-100 in less than 1.9 seconds.
