Top supercar in the world
-
Endowed with a 8.0L W16-Cylinder, four turbochargers, and a dual-clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission, the Veyron can reach a top speed of 253 mph. Counting a sum of 10 radiators, for the engine cooling system, for transmission oil, a heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers, for engine oil etc., the car has a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne.Bugati veyron
Not just a super car that carries on the name of racing driver Pierre Veyron, who, while racing for the original Bugatti car manufacturer, won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was the most powerful and the faster car in the world when it first came out in 2005, it can easily pass as a super hero`s car like Batman. It has the fastest acceleration speed, reaching 60 mph in 2.5 seconds.
If we talk about performance we are dazzled by this supercars power to reach 200 and 300 km/h (124 and 186 mph) in 7.3 and respectively 16.7 seconds, wining for herself the name of the quickest-accelerating production car in history. If we count the fact that the top speed of Bugatti Veyron is 253.2 miles per hour (407.5 km/h), a speed limited electronically to prevent tire damage (it can run even faster) we can understand why this spectacular car must consume 40.4 L/100 km (4.82 mpg) when it`s running at top speed and in city driving 24.1 L/100 km.
Driven by a superstar like Tom Cruise, this supercar couldn`t name itself cheap, raising the Bugatti Veyron to a price tag of $1,700,000, a price that measures up to it`s quality. Many new designs has been released since 2006, the color might have changed, but the performance and power remain the same.

The biggest difference between the Ultimate Aero and the new XT model is the extra power propelling it. The new engine boasts of a V8, 1,300hp at 6800rpm and 1004 lb-ft of torque, also at 6800rpm.
Many elements have been borrowed from the Ultimate Aero including the fuel delivery system and the cooling mechanism. Still, there's a 13hp increase over the original Ultimate Aero model.
Speed
Just like the Ultimate Aero, the XT has the potential of being a record-breaking supercar. In 2.6 seconds, it can sprint to a speed 0-60 mph and is capable of hitting the 200 mph mark in just 15.65 seconds - another world record set by SSC. This special edition supercar has a projected top speed of 273 mph, nothing short of powerful.
Suspension
The suspension is of an independent variety, there's unequal lower and upper control arms, cab-controlled air lift, anti-roll bar. 44% of the cars body weight is placed on the front axle while 56% is placed on the rear.
Exterior
The special edition Ultimate Aero XT comes with a two-tone paint scheme, never before used on previous models and never to be used again on future models. You are able to select any two colors - one color will run up the center of the XT, across the roof, down the tail of the car, on the vehicle's lower half and across the mirrors while the second color fills in the outer parts of the hood and the lower sides of the car.
You'll be glad to note that aside from the exclusive paint job, not much has changed about the exterior - only minimal changes to the body shape have been made. The XT retains the sleek and sexy shape of its older brother.
3.SSC Tuatara (ssc ultimate aero 2)
2012 awaits the entry of the newest offering from Shelby Super Cars (SSC), the 2012 SSC Tuatara. This car is aimed to unseating the Bugatti Veyron SS as the fastest car in the world. Jerod Shelby, founder and CEO of SSC, unveiled the Tuatara in the presence of a few people from the industry. Jerod Shelby is not related to Carroll Shelby, the legend behind all those muscle cars. The name of this supercar is derived from the Maori language that describes a resident reptile from New Zealand, Tuatara, means “peaks at the back.”
-
Specifications
Shelby and his team of 16 engineers have put their skills together to produce a high performance production vehicle in the SSC Tuatara by highlighting this rear wheel drive, 1,350 horsepower speedster. SSC produced the Ultimate Aero that was able to topple the record established by the Bugatti Veyron. In 2007, the Ultimate Aero TT had a run of 256 mph on a four mile stretch of a Texas carriageway. The Volkswagen owned Bugatti, not to be denied, came back with the Veyron SS (Super Sport) and clocked a record 267 mph.Vehicle Type: SuperCar Base Price: $970,000.00 Engine: 7-liter quad cam, twin turbo V8 Horsepower: 1350 hp Max RPM: 9000 rpm Curb Weight: 2646 lbs (1200 kg) Displacement: 7-liter Aspiration: Turbo 0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds Projected Maximum Speed: 275 mph (442 kmh) (Not yet tested!)
With the Tuatara, Shelby SuperCars intends to reclaim that distinction of being the fastest car in the world, by aiming for a record setting 275 mph.
Performance
As for the engine, Jerod Shelby’s team of engineers has come up with a rear wheel drive, quad cam (four valves per cylinder OHC), twin turbo V8 engine. This 7 Liter engine produces 1350 HP and revs up to 9000 rpm.
Braking is aided by traction control, ABS with servo assistance, and the use of carbon ceramic brakes by Brembo. It comes in at 2646 lbs (1200 kgs) curb weight, which puts it at 1407 lbs(638 kgs) lighter than the Veyron. Little, if any, change has been done on the suspension in which SSC keeps the coil over setup intact along with the triple plate carbon clutch mechanism.
Expectations are high on this new SSC Tuatara, with all those horses; zero to sixty mph should come in under 2.8 seconds. It has been claimed that its top speed will be at 275 mph, hang on to your seats for the final results.
ExteriorThe body design of the Tuatara was rendered by Jason Castriota, an Italian-American designer who has been instrumental in creating some of the best looking cars in the world. Among his creations include the best in the industry, Bertone, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, and Pininfarina. Castriota was unsure whether he wanted to take on the challenge presented to him by Jerod Shelby in designing this latest from SSC.When he did take up the challenge, the result has become the ideal in combining form and function. The black teardrop shaped canopy splashed amid the white body provides a contrast in style and power. The classic shape allows it for a minimum of drag. Dihedral stabilizers (wings) add to the Tuatara’s performance and look. The winglets located in the rear not only improve aerodynamics, but also keeps the car together as it speeds up to 200 miles per hour.
Body and chassis are made of carbon fiber, except for those impact areas in the front and rear of the Tuatara. It also has oval cut outs in varying sizes that help release heat produced by the engine through the body. The Tuatara features an F-1 looking exhaust that functions as a diffuser in the rear. When looking down at this low slung supercar, the Tuatara can seem intimidating. - Interior
No one really knows what to expect what the interior of the Tuatara will look like. The total interior design has not been completed. It will have the necessary features in driving a two seater, such as the seatbelts and auto air-conditioner.
Speculation has it that the inside of the Tuatara will live up to its reputation in addition to providing easy viewing and access LCD central displays.
- The Competition
There is little competition in this area of supercars. The SSC Tuatara is expected to be priced at $970,000, while the Bugatti Veyron SS rings the bell at $2.4 million. If you have extra to spend, the other potential alternative is the Koenigsegg Agera, $1.5 million.
Whichever way you go, you have an international choice at your disposal; the SSC Tuatara from the USA, Bugatti Veyron SS from Germany, and the Swedish Koenigsegg Agera. Whether you’re looking for a showroom vehicle or one for the racetrack, chances are the Tuatara will push its competitors once again to the limits, watch for this fastest evolving DNA creation from SSC. - Lamborghini Aventador J
The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador J is designed to set a new standard in super sports vehicles due to the power and performance that it unleashes from the moment it starts.
PerformanceBoasting an incredible 700 HP from the 6.5 liter V12 engine, this beast is simply unstoppable. The appearance of this vehicle is purely Lamborghini with some minor changes to the lines and curves to offer an updated and more futuristic visual.The body is made of a new form of carbon fiber called Carbon skin and considering the expertise that Lamborghini has shown in this area over the years you are assured it is a lightweight and durable as anything on the market.
The seats themselves are even designed with carbon materials for an entirely different experience than most aficionados are accustomed to. The entire interior is flocked with this material for a completely different look than can be expected in high end sports cars.
Exterior
The exterior is a sight to behold and available in a chrome red finish thanks to the Carbon skin body that allows for colors in this range. The wheels and fan are also in this shade of red with the chrome tint effect.The rear view mirror is mounted in periscope fashion on an arm and support bars between the seats. There is no windshield in this monster and at high speeds the air is deflected by air dams that are strategically located, however you will feel the force on your body as you drive.
The Real Deal
The front end itself has points similar to the Mach 5 in the Speed Racer animation, though they are less pronounced and clearly add to the aerodynamics of this vehicle.
The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador J is a spectacular visually and equally as impressive in performance making this a milestone for the company and those that supports the brand and its ingenuity.

9.Gumpert Apollo R
Performance
The 2012 Gumpert Apollo R is everything you would expect from a manufacturer that designs and produces race cars that are street legal.
The Apollo R is built exclusively for the track and with a 4.2 liter engine with 860 horsepower; it will certainly see a few checkered flags. Built primarily for an ever-growing Asian market, this speed machine has had many modifications to meet expectations and improve performance.
The engine itself required an increase in pressure for the supercharger, air vents that were redesigned to handle the needs of the motor as well as an improved cooling system that can remain effective in light of the intense temperatures.
The transmission is controlled by way of rocker switches alone to place more emphasis on vehicle control as opposed to use of a clutch pedal.
Bare Interior
The interior is strictly bare bones for the obvious reason while the suspension is first class and perfect for a vehicle of this type. The chassis has a newly designed Gumpert titanium stabilizer in the rear and enhancements to many of the other components to ensure safety while reducing weight.
Most suspension softening items have been altered or removed to guarantee this as purely a racing vehicle. The smaller tank allowed for a reduction in weight to just over 2425 pounds making this the lightest version in the ever popular Apollo line.
Exterior
The appearance is that of a smaller modified Indy car and makes no mistakes in presenting itself as it is designed for. You certainly will not be able to sneak this gem out on the road for a late night run.
This manufacturer took notice to the fact that their street legal vehicles were dominating at the track and the 2012 Gumpert Apollo R is their answer for those with dreams of owning and driving a true race car.

It was featured at the 82nd Geneva International Motor Show and it has since received a huge audience. The car's brute thrust goes up to 780 horsepower which is definitely saying something.
The griffin is Gumpert's mythical animal logo and is beautifully brandished in the car's distinctive swing doors. This high speed car is street legal which basically means that the Apollo Enraged has everything that a car needs and nothing that this car can't have.
Having a street legal car like the Gumpert Apollo does not mean it does not have any racing feature. It still adapts the same system and function just like Gumpert's Apollo R. Pure German speed is Gumpert's motto in the creation of this fantastic vehicle. A lot of people may have called it an extreme car but nevertheless it boasts of a grand time for people who live for speed.
Exterior & Interior
The sleek body of the Gumpert Apollo Enraged is also aerodynamic giving the car an optimum speed on the streets. The exterior body is a true work of art as it gleams day and night.
People will definitely take a second look as soon as this car hits the street. Comfort and style is also within the interior of the Apollo Enraged which gives everyone a convenient and safe ride throughout.

11.Gumpert Apollo S
With a lethal combination of top notch aerodynamics, a super lightweight structure, and a super powerful engine, the Gumpert Apollo S is part of the super exclusive list of being among the world’s fastest cars. How this is achieved is something to marvel.
Exterior
The body and chassis is made mostly out of carbon fiber and aluminum, a super durable yet super light combination of materials. This allows the Apollo S to go to the weighing scales at a weight of less than 2700 pounds, a super light weight given that this car is a legit supercar.
In addition, Gumpert has constructed the Apollo’s body to be as aerodynamically efficient as possible, that they have claimed that you can drive this car upside down on a tunnel at around 300 kilometers per hour.
Performance
The heart of the Apollo S is a 4200cc V8 engine that is developed by Gumpert. Adding 2 turbochargers in the mix, this engine produces a massive 900 horsepower. This is enough for the Apollo to hustle to a hundred kilometers per hour in 3 seconds flat (or even less) and push on up to a top speed of 360 kilometers per hour.
A competition grade suspension allows for breathtaking cornering performance. Huge disc brakes allows for strong stopping skill no matter what the speed. And 19 inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires allow for maximum grip and stability even at speeds of over 200 miles an hour.
The Gumpert Apollo S goes all in to become one of the fastest cars in the world. And they have delivered as promised.

12.Ferrari Enzo
The Ferrari Enzo, a 650 horsepower super car named after its founder, was developed in 2002 using Formula One technology.
Ferrari cars have always been one of the most coveted cars by many enthusiasts. When the company decided to develop the Enzo, there was a rave about what it will be like and how much it can offer to customers.
With the car already using carbon fiber for its body and an electro-hydraulic F1 transmission, more innovations were even made that were not present in the F1 such as aerodynamics and active traction control. Its ultra-light, V12 engine with four valves per cylinder was a first in the new generation of Ferrari cars. Sports Car International ranked the car third on their list of top sports cars of the year 2000. Consequently, it also ranked fourth in Motor Trend Classics' Ten Greatest Ferraris.
Performance
The Enzo was designed by Japanese Pininfarina head Ken Okuyama was initially introduced at the 2002 Motor Show in Paris and had a limited number of units priced at $ 659,330. Pininfarina wanted a car the will be entirely different from the usual approach used for its predecessors (GTO, F40 and 50). A mid-engine vehicle whose weight distribution is at 43.9 at the front and 56 in the rear, the Enzo has variable valve timing and dual overhead cams to add to its naturally aspirated engine.
It is designed with an automatic transmission (F1 gearbox) and uses paddles to control its clutch mechanism and automated shifting. The LED light right at the steering wheel tells the driver to shift gears as necessary. Their independent four wheel suspension with actuated shock absorbers are adjusted right inside the cabin and have front and rear anti-roll bars. The 19 inch wheels uses Brembo 15 inch disc brakes and are held by a lug nut. They are fitted with RE050A Potenza Scuderia tires. The car can accelerate up to 60 miles per hour in merely 3.14 seconds and reaches 100 miles per hour in a short 6.6 seconds.
Only 399
Serious drivers will find that the Enzo is what their car dreams are made of, however getting their hands on one will be a bit of a challenge since only 399 units were manufactured.

14.Pagani Zonda F
The Pagani Zonda F was introduced to followers of super cars world at the Geneva Auto Show in 2005. It is a custom built unit transformed by advanced technology and brilliant craftsmen.
To date, it is still on the list as one of the fastest cars ever produced. Built of carbon fiber that Pagani has been recognized for, the Zonda F has proven worth.
History
With its production, Pagani Automobili has challenged the bigger car manufacturers like Lamborghini, Porsche and Ferrari. Horacio Pagani's inspiration for the car was derived from F1 world champion Juan Miguel Fangio's technical sensibilities that influenced the major aspects of the Zonda. Its production continues until today, with roughly 25 units manufactured each year. It is considered to be the super car that has received the most extensive engineering that Pagani has ever done. The Zonda F has also been tapped to have a powerful Clubsport model.
Built along side its regular production model, the Zonda F is a special edition super car which had several modifications adapted from the C12-S Monza and was refined to produce a more appealing super car package. The changes resulted into a more lightweight, faster and more powerful car, making the Zonda F one model that supersedes its predecessors.
Exterior
Aerodynamics has helped the Zonda gain its new shape. The car moves effortlessly through the air and some of its power keeps the car down into the tarmac thus producing a stronger ground effect. Traditional features such as the one-piece wing now receives undisturbed air courtesy of its relocated mirrors. The airflow underneath is relieved by the rear diffuser and the large front splitter that create more down force.
Performance
The Pagani Zonda F has more air intake in front, making its cooling system very effective. Thus, its V12 engine enjoys a much cooler state due to the car's design. This Mercedes Benz engine holds a capacity of 7.3 liters and reaches 620 bhp and emits a 561 pound foot torque at 4000 rpm. The chassis of the Zonda F is upgraded to make it lighter compared to other super cars. The large ceramic brakes get more room as the new wheels measure only 19 and 20 inches. Overall, its weight is at 1,230 kilograms together with its titanium nuts and carbon fiber tub trimmings.
With all these improvements, Pagani has definitely produced a powerful Zonda. It is a reactive and very safe car without any rolls to speak of. The Nardi steering wheel gives a direct contact feel to the road. It has minimum electronics and the comfort is astonishing for a super car that reaches a speed of over 200 miles per hour. Pagani promised quality and performance in the Zonda F and delivers such without any compromise. With his constant quality check of the Zonda F's individual pieces, the manual for each of the super cars is presented in a very detailed and faithful manner, like that of an artist's portrait.

15.Jaguar XJ220 – 1992 Forgotten Supercar
One of the many mid-engine cars produced by Jaguar is the Jaguar XJ-220. Though not really the typical spare-time born project due to its fame, its creator, Jim Randle worked tediously to create the super car he dreamt of for Christmas. His contagious enthusiasm inspired his colleagues to form a “Saturday club” with the sole purpose of working on the project. The giant car company remained oblivious of the secret tinkering activities by its engineers at Whitley and when they discovered the project, the enthusiasm got more intense. The brand new super car was wheeled out of its home to be showcased at the Bingham Motor Show as Jaguar's official concept car.
Performance
With its exposure to the market, the Tom Wilkinshaw Racing collaborated with the company to manufacture a 6.2 liter version of the V12 engine that Jaguar had. The engine boasts of four cylinder valves and quad cams. Its target output was 500 horsepower. The all -wheel drive mechanism produced by FF Developments and styling creatively done by Keith Helfet gave it even more fame. The doors, similar to the Lamborghini's models are crafted in a scissor style pattern. The Jaguar XJ220 was named after its 220 miles per hour top speed was realized.
Engine
The prototype model weighs at 1,560 kg and was significantly heavier compared to the other Jaguar models like XJR-9. However, it was primarily crafted to be a road car like the XJS units despite the fact that it is 30 inch longer and 10 inch wider. Along with the weight of the all-wheel drive, it is still 375 pounds lighter than the XJS. The production version, on the other hand, was announced in 1991 after undergoing significant changes like its new drive train and doors, rear wheel drive and a 3.5 v6 engine which was a first in the history of Jaguar’s manufacturing ventures.
It was also the first engine to use forced induction. Many of the original customers were disgruntled over the physical changes and more so over the price increase of the XJ220 and this led to a blow in its sales. The global recession even added more injury to its declining sales statistics. Despite this, over 200 units were still sold.
Limited Production
The super car became the king of the road back then and was the benchmark for the production of super cars. Way before the Mclaren F1 became a hit; the XJ220 then was fastest of its kind throughout the world. Although that was two decades ago, the Jaguar XJ220 still holds a very remarkable spot in the racing industry and still ranks 7th in the fastest super cars list. There are only 278 units, making its chances of being owned very slim.
With reviews dating back two decades, this car definitely set the bar in the super cars production and manufacturing. Its interior is spacious and airy with excellent comfortable seats that can hold you in place while quick cornering. The road tests reveal how its performance never intimidates and its statistics reveal why it was a league of its own. During that time it can be said that it is the finest handling super car ever, making the rest look flawed and spongy.

Surely, Veyron is more powerful and packed with more advanced technology but in terms of luxury, One-77 is much better than Veyron. When compared to a C9 Pagani, One-77 is still ahead when it comes to luxury.
In the luxurious world of supercars, Aston Martin is the number one producer of sophisticated and elegant cars. One-77 has a classy style combined with the subtle touch of modernism.
