The Fastest Car in The World 2024

The title of «fastest car in the world» is coveted and the competition is fierce. In 2024, the title goes to the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which recorded a top speed of 530 km/h in early 2023.

The car’s 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine generates 1,600 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque, contributing significantly to this impressive speed. However, Koenigsegg’s engineering team has equipped the vehicle with many other great features, not just mind-blowing power.

A triumph of aerodynamics and innovation

In addition to the 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut excels with its refined aerodynamic design. Its carbon fiber bodywork is carefully sculpted to optimize airflow, helping to reduce drag and maximize speed.

A luxurious and customizable interior

Despite its focus on performance, Jesko Absolut doesn’t skimp on comfort and luxury. Its interior is crafted from the highest quality materials and offers opulent space for driver and passenger. The seats are made of fine leather and can be customized with a variety of colors and stitching.

An unprecedented driving experience

The Jesko Absolut is not only a fast car, but also extremely pleasant to drive. Its adaptive suspension offers a perfect balance between comfort and handling, allowing the driver to easily navigate twisty roads or enjoy a smooth ride on the highway.

An exclusive collector’s item

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is a limited edition car with just 125 examples made, making it a highly coveted collector’s item for car enthusiasts around the world. The price of a copy is estimated to be between 3 and 5 million dollars.

2nd place. Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is a limited edition of the Chiron model, built with one purpose: to achieve top speed. With an 8.0-liter W16 engine producing 1,600 hp and optimized aerodynamics, the Super Sport 300+ reached a speed of 490.48 km/h in 2019, breaking the mythical 300 mph barrier.

In addition to its astonishing speed, the Super Sport 300+ stands out for its distinctive design, with a longer, more aerodynamic body, a larger rear spoiler and unique alloy wheels. The interior is made of premium leather and carbon fiber, providing a luxurious and comfortable space for passengers.

Exclusivity is a strong point of F5. Production will be limited to just 24 units, each priced at approximately $2.1 million. Although the goal of becoming the fastest production car is still ongoing, the Venom F5 is already considered one of the most impressive hypercars ever created.

4th place

The Croatian electric hypercar boasts crazy acceleration times from 0-100 km/h, leaving internal combustion engine supercars behind. Rimac Nevera is an electric hypercar that redefines the concept of performance. Equipped with four electric motors, one for each wheel, the Nevera develops the astonishing power of 1914 HP and an instant torque of 2360 Nm. This allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.85 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 412 km/h.

It features a torque vectoring (R-AWTV) system that distributes power independently to each wheel, maximizing traction and agility. Its 120 kWh H-shaped battery offers an impressive range for an electric hypercar of up to 550 km (WLTP). Furthermore, the Nevera is also an object of art, with aerodynamic bodywork sculpted from carbon fiber and a stylish interior. Production is limited to 150 units, each of which costs around 2 million euros.

5th place for the Aston Martin Valkyrie
