Top Fastest Car In The World List

Mercedes-AMG Project One -- 1,000bhp , 217mph

No-one outside of AMG has yet driven the Mercedes F1 car for the street known so far only as Project One, but its own stats are appropriately barmy to make the cut in this list. Revealed in time for its 2017 Frankfurt motor show, the supreme AMG promises to launch from 0-124mph in under six seconds, meaning that thanks to its AWD hybrid traction, it'll eliminate the line as quick as an actual F1 car. While, ideally, creating a much neater noise...

Bugatti Chiron -- 1,479bhp, 261mph (claimed)

Though we were introduced into the new Bugatti Chiron in 2016, we weren't exposed to the full force of its 1,479bhp quad-turbo W16 before this season. And when that happened, any thoughts of the thing being merely a reheated Veyron quickly evaporated. As it's eventually unleashed with its limiter, the world will be seeing.

Koenigsegg Agera RS -- 1,340bhp, 277mph

It's not every year -- believe it or not -- that you get a new fastest car on the planet. Lots of talk the talk, but few really set off in a straight line with timing gear and cameras on board to have the challenge. This year, Koenigsegg did just that on a closed street in Nevada, also averaged out 277mph in the procedure.

Hennessey Exorcist -- 1,000bhp, n/a mph

Of course, Texan horsepower fetishist John Hennessey couldn't let Dodge enjoy the spoils of war for extended without issuing his own unleaded-swilling riposte -- using a cheeky title to boot. The Exorcist is, as you can see, according to a Camaro ZL1 (or even the more track focused 1LE, if you want ), and, ahem, trumps the Dodge alternative by developing 1,000bhp. The best speed is so far unknown, but since the 0-60mph time is sub 3sec, we think that you 'll agree it deserves a place among 2017's very unhinged performance cars.

McLaren 720S -- 710bhp, 211mph

The McLaren 720S has attracted hypercar functionality to the supercar realm. It is vividly fast, and about the road, you'd struggle to spot a difference in urge between it and the P1. However, besides being a land-borne missile, it's also truly engaging to drive at reduced speed and incredibly friendly and pragmatic, which can be even more of a success than its spectacular performance. It's TG's supercar of the year.

Hennessey Venom F5 -- 1600bhp (claimed), 290mph (claimed)

Hennessey's back , and he's heading for 300mph. The Venom F5, successor to the car that hit 270mph and established Hennessey for a player in the top speed supercar game, is named after F5 category storms, which have a windspeed score of up to 318mph. Would the Texan underdog take it into the might of the VW Group, and Koenigsegg? 2017's show of the new Venom has been the opening shot of around two. Put your bets...
