The fastest street-legal car in the world is the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut. It has a top speed of 330 mph (531 km/h), making it the undisputed king of the road.
This Swedish hypercar is powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that generates a staggering 1600 horsepower. It also features a number of aerodynamic enhancements, including a massive rear wing and a diffuser, which help to generate downforce and improve stability at high speeds.
Here are some other contenders for the title of fastest street-legal car:
- Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: With a top speed of 304.8 mph (490.48 km/h), the Chiron Super Sport 300+ is another formidable contender.
- Hennessey Venom F5: This American hypercar is expected to have a top speed of over 300 mph, but it has yet to be officially tested.
- SSC Tuatara: This American hypercar holds the current Guinness World Record for the fastest production car with a top speed of 282.2 mph (454.1 km/h).
It's important to note that these cars are not only incredibly fast but also extremely expensive. They are often limited production runs, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
