While we normally focus on 4x4 offroads, there's a special thrill about really fast cars. Driving a car sometimes is more than just luxury, for some, it’s about speed. Although all cars are fast some more than others Here are some of the fastest cars in 2021.
The battle for who has the most speed is something that will stay till the end of time itself. Whether it's a foot race, a horse race, or a chariot race, every respectable betting site will allow punters to wager on who will win. In Sweden, it's even a sport with great odds because speed fascinates and speed even kills and it may just be a bit more fun than the traditional Volvo. Just ask the late Paul Walker, but the feeling of being fast and trying to mirror some of the action you see in the Fast & Furious movies can sometimes be unmatched.
How fast a car moves on the road depends on several factors including the ability of the driver, but we all know even Sir Lewis Hamilton wouldn’t overtake me if he sat behind the wheel of a 1955 Volkswagen, while I drove in a 2019 Lamborghini Aventador. Here’s a compilation of some of the fastest cars in the world as of 2021.
Whoever said adding two extra seats to a super-fast car would make it slower has probably never driven the Koenigsegg Gemera. Manufactured, by the Swedish automobile giants, the Gemera is the first car produced by Koenigsegg to have a four-seater, and also the first one to be powered by a compact engine. The Gemera has a three-cylinder engine powered by the Koenigsegg Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG), to go along with two turbochargers camless pistons.
The Gemera is a hybrid drivetrain implying it uses electric power and a combustion engine. Its combustion engine just like the traditional cars requires carbon-based fuel and the electric part runs on a rechargeable battery. The Gemera boasts an acceleration of 0-100 km/h and has claimed a top speed of 400 km/h. The car has an electric range of 50 kilometers and attains a top speed of 300 km/h in electric mode.
Aston Martin might be new to the world of Formula One joined the sport at the start of 2021 but they’re no strangers to the world of fast cars. Built collaboratively by Aston Martin, Red Bull Advanced Racing Technologies, and others, the Aston Martin Valkyrie is a limited edition hybrid sports car with a steering wheel and an exterior with some resemblance to an F1 car.
The Nebula, which is also a code name for the Aston Martin Valkyrie, has a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine with a power output of 1,160 horsepower (hp). It has a 7-speed transmission and a single-clutch automated manual. The power-to-weight ratio of the Valkyrie is outstanding, offering more balance with its already incredible top speed of 402 km/h.
No, not the popular Hennessy drink but instead a supercar with the capacity of going from 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 2.3seconds, and a top speed of over 300 mph. The first non-hybrid sports car on our list, the Hennessey Venom F5 was developed by the British Motorsport company of Silverstone, Delta Motorsport, and manufactured by American company Hennessey Special Vehicles. It has a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, a 7-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission, and a power output of 1,817 hp.
Only 24 units of the Venom F5 are expected to be produced, and 12 of those have been sold at a whopping price of $1.6 million last December. The remaining 12 units are expected to be sold for $2.1 million, though there are reports eight more cars are planned to be built in 2021.
Since the French automobile company, Bugatti S.A.S began developing the Bugatti Chiron series in 2016, none have achieved the speed of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. This car possesses a power output of 1,578 hp compared to the 1,479 hp of the Chiron Sport and Chiron Pur Sport. Though it was released in 2020, the SuperSport 300+ remains one of the fastest cars in 2021. Its mid-engine, all-wheel-drive chassis layout does justice to its 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which in turn delivers acceleration of 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds.
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ also possesses a top speed of 304 mph, as the name suggests.
Following the success of the Agera series, Swedish automobile powerhouse, Koenigsegg Automotive released the limited production sports car series, Jesko.
