Welcome back to another episode of Motor Drive. In Today’s video we are covering The Top
5 Fastest Hypercars In The World. The term Hypercar is coined to qualify the top 1% of
Supercars, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Be Sure to watch till
the end to find out the mind blowing numbers manufacturers are achieving in these engineering
masterpieces. If you enjoy the video, don’t forget to like and Subscribe!
Number 5. The Hennessy Venom GT. In 2014, The Venom GT came out of nowhere to knock
the Veyron off the throne. This was Hennessy’s first standalone build as they previously
were known for modifying performance cars. The Lotus Based GT was equipped with a 7 Liter
Twin Turbo v8 producing an eye watering 1244 Horsepower. Hennessy put this to the test
at the Kennedy Space Centre, reaching a crazy Top speed of 270.4 Mph. Despite Guinness approving
the run, many questioned the authenticity of the title due to the Venom being a hand
built, low production vehicle.
Number 4. The Koenigsegg Agera RS. Top Gear magazines Hypercar of the year. an 11 mile
stretch of road was closed off in Nevada in 2017 for Koenigsegg to showcase the Agera
RS’ 1360 Horsepower performance to the world. Guiness Recorded two runs with an insane average
pace of 278 mph. One run was recorded at 285 miles per hour. The crown was well and truly
passed on the Swedish automaker. The Agera also smashed 5 other speed records that day.
The RS is set to be replaced by the Jesko, with a claimed top speed in excess of 300mph.
Number 3. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The successor to the Legendary Veyron. Combining
the Brands Heritage with the Predecessors Performance to build a truly stunning Vehicle
on all fronts. Bugatti reclaimed the throne of the worlds fastest car in August 2019.
After years of domination in this category, it was only right they reached the pinnacle
again. However, that wasn’t the only record broken that day, The Chiron became the first
car ever to reach the 300 MPH mark. The Super Sport’s Quad Turbo, 8 Liter, 16 Cylinder
Engine reached a final record of 304.7 MPH. A Feat of this magnitude is only possible
due to Bugatti’s insane engineering. Of course a 1577 Horsepower engine helps you
get there but the attention to design detail, especially aerodynamics is what makes what
was once a dream, a reality.
Number 2. The Hennessy Venom F5. Marking the brands Debut as a manufacturer, Hennessey’s
battle at the top with Bugatti continues. The previous record is set to be eclipsed,
as Hennessey claim a top Speed of 311mph for the F5. The Venom reaches this incredible
speed due to a combination of Aerodynamics, weight saving & the engineering of arguably
the world’s best tuners, with the F5’s 6.6 Liter, V8 producing a mind-blowing, 1817
Horsepower. Weighing just 3053 Pounds, the Venom is barely heavier than the ludicrous
Koenigsegg One:1, yet it produces 35 percent more power. It was always a recipe for success
even before the record was broken.
Number 1. The SSC Tuatara. A new King has arrived at the top of the pile. Development
of the Tuatara began in 2010, they took everything they learned with the previously record breaking
SSC Aero, which knocked the Veyron off the top spot in 2007. Owner Jerod Shelby set a
goal of 500 KMPH or 312 MPH back in 2010. Ten Years on, SSC put their years of work
and development to the test. The Tuatara and it’s 5.9 Liter Twin Turbo V8 producing an
eye watering 1750 Horsepower didn’t just break the record, it completely smashed it.
Reaching a whopping 331.15 MPH on 1 run. breaking a number of public road records on top. SSC
received a lot of scrutiny after this run with many questioning the legitimacy of the
record. The Automaker posted a video of the run which inaccurately displayed the cars
speed. SSC later claimed the figures were real however the video was incorrectly edited.
The company released a thorough explanation to stamp out these claims. CEO Jerod Shelby
recently stated SSC would attempt another Top Speed with the Tuatara in the near future
