In 1987 the
Ferrari F40 broke
the 200mph speed
barrier that everyone wanted to do. The battle held for like 60 years before
the F40 was born. That shows how hard car manufacturers are battling to keep
the highest speed record theirs. After breaking the 200mph record, a new
barrier had set. That is the 300mph barrier.
After 32 years from breaking the first barrier, it was broken on this
year, So in this post let’s talk about the highest speed records that ever recorded
on a production car.

Koenigsegg CCR
Koenigsegg CCR
Koenigsegg
CCR first came to production in 2004, and in 2005 it broke the highest
speed record with a 241mph top speed. But after 2 months that record was
again broken by another car. I will talk about that car further in this post. The
CCR has a 4.7-Liter V8 engine that based on Ford modular engine, that
has twin rotrex supercharges. With that powerful engine, it can produce up to
806hp. The record was set by 241mph but this car theoretically can reach
up to 245mph. it can reach 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, and the
standard quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds. When this car launched in 2004,
this car was the most powerful car from Koenigsegg. Only 14 of them were
built from 2004 to 2006.

Bugatti VEYRON
Bugatti VEYRON
The Bugatti Veyron EB16.4 first
came to production in 2005 it held the market till 2015 when the Chiron
replaced it. It has an 8.0-Liter W16 engine,
which means it made out with two small V8 engines that bolted together. The
original version of this car had a top speed of 253mph. This car
had four releases, but further about them will bring to you in another post.
Its super sport version set the highest speed record by reaching 267.8mph. That
version can produce up to 1184hp and
883kW. To achieve this kind of speed, it requires a unique set of tires
designed by Michelin. That tires cost around $25,000, and it
only can mount in France, and that costs around $70,000 so
if you want to buy one of these it’s better, you are a millionaire.

Hennessey Venom GT
Hennessey Venom GT
The Hennessey Venom GT has manufactured by Hennessey
Performance Engineering that based in Texas. The first car had produced in
2011. And only 13 unites are made in its entire life that are seven coupes and
six Spyders. The
Venom GT coupe version
has a 7-Liter V8 engine
which is powered by twin turbocharges. With that engine, this car can produce
up to 1244hp and
928kW. In the Spyder version,
the car comes with 1451hp and
1082kW. But the speed record was set by the coupe version. The record had set
on Kennedy space center’s shuttle landing strip. That was 270.4mph, but the
driver stated that if he had more tarmac available, he could reach 5-10mph more
than the record. And this car has another record that is the fastest
accelerating car in the world by reaching 200mph just in 14.51 seconds.

02. Koenigsegg Agera
Koenigsegg Agera came in 5 different versions. Its Agera RS
version set the top speed on 2017 by reaching up to 278mph. This
version came with a 5-Liter V8 engine
with twin turbochargers that can produce up to 1341hp and
1000kW. This engine helped so much to archive that goal not only in performance
for weight deduction also. The entire engine of this car only weights 197kg due
to its carbon fiber and aluminium structure. This car can reach 0.60mph in
just 2.8 seconds.
This car is an authentic masterpiece when it’s come to designing because of a
lot of parts of this car made out of carbon fiber. The Agera production had
stopped in 2018 unveiling two final edition cars. In its lifetime this car set
so many records in record books. There is so much to talk about this car. We will talk about that in a specified post for this car.

Bugatti CHIRON
Bugatti CHIRON
The first Chiron has announced in 2016 Geneva Motor show.
This car comes with an 8-Liter W16 engine
with quad turbocharges. With this engine, it produces 1479hp and
1103kW. This car doesn’t look so aerodynamic with its huge sized body kit, but
the whole body-kit had made out of carbon fiber, and it reduces a lot of
weight. The Chiron is electronically limited its top speed to 262mph for
safety reasons and mainly because no tire that currently manufactured would be
able to handle that much of stress at the top speed. But with the specific key,
you can unlock its full features. The top speed record was broken by its
Chiron super sport 300+ version
in august of 2019 by
reaching 304.7mph. This
version has the same engine as Chiron Supersport, but it produces 1578hp and
1177kW. Only 30 of these cars will made, and all of them are sold.
