Top Fastest Car In The World In 2018

Porsche 911 GT2 RS -- 691bhp, 211mph

We waited a long time for Porsche to flip the 991-generation of 911 into a 'widowmaker'. When the 691bhp GT2 RS arrived, and we drove it, the most shocking thing was habitable and un-terrifying it was. This 's modern tyres and aerodynamics for you. And consequently, the GT2 RS blitzed across the Nrburgring in a new record time of 6mins 43.7sec. Note: to replicate such time you want to be as handy and courageous as an actual expert racing driver.

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

Although we were first introduced to the new Bugatti Chiron at 2016, we weren't exposed to the full power of its 1,479bhp quad-turbo W16 before this season. And if that occurred, any notions of the thing being only a reheated Veyron quickly vanished. As it's finally unleashed with its limiter, the entire world will be seeing.

Lamborghini Aventador S -- 730bhp, 217mph

Speaking of V12s, Lamborghini's flagship had a proper workover in 2017 in order to keep up with the aptly-named 812 Superfast. The Aventador S's enormous invention is rear-wheel steering, that provides the new huge bull something approaching agility, but the excess 40bhp wrung in the 6.5-litre V12 is a bonus worth having.

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 just as Project One, but its stats are suitably barmy to create 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, hopefully, making a much meaner noise...

Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid -- 670bhp, 192mph

After we drove the 550bhp Panamera Turbo S, nothing regarding its batty performance made us feel to be an 'S' variation was necessary. However, Porsche is, it appears, even sillier than the likes of us. So it added electricity to the Panamera, using lessons it learned in the development of the 918 Spyder hypercar. The way you might ever need this much car on your own life is beyond us, but if you're late to get a Greenpeace convention, or scared of flying, this really can be a monumental continent crusher that can't run out of cost.

Ferrari 812 Superfast -- 789bhp, 211mph

We are living in a mad, crazy world. One of many pieces of evidence this is true is that the fact that Ferrari's series-production big-booted GT car is powered by a 789bhp V12 which 'll send it past 62mph in 2.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 211mph. If that is among the last of those classic V12 supercars, before hybrids and turbos eventually kill off them, then what a way to go.
