According to YouTube channel Nobody's Show, Scott Palmer's 1953
Based on the Koenigsegg Agera, the Regera is currently a performance beast. It is powered by a 5.9-liter V-8 twin-turbocharged combined with three electric motors that deliver a combined 1,500 horsepower. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and was built to break records.
10,000hp - 300mph. in the 1/4 mile!
According to YouTube channel Nobody's Show, Scott Palmer's 1953 Studebaker has 10,000 horsepower. The hood sits off of the dragster.
The Drako Dragon is Drako Motors' newest all-electric hypercar, equipped with a 2000-hp quad-motor configuration. This "super SUV" seats five and is expected to debut later in 2022.
As far as prototypes go, the Devel Sixteen is one of the most extreme examples in existence. The public got its first glimpse of the car´s engine back in 2015. The maddening 5000 horsepower v16 engine which would go on to power one of the most outrageous supercars of all times vowed the audience.
Here is the next vehicle that claims to be the world’s fastest street-legal sports car – the Weber Sportcars Faster One. Reportedly, the car can go from 0 – 62 mph in 2.7 seconds, 0 – 124 mph in just 6.6 seconds, and has a top speed said to be over 248 mph! That’s fast.
Top Fuel. Among the fastest-accelerating machines in the world, 11,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragsters are often referred to as the “kings of the sport,” and with good reason. They are capable of covering the dragstrip in less than 3.7 seconds at more than 330 mph.
A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 746 watts (W) or 0.746 kilowatts (kW). To convert from horsepower to watts, multiply by 746. To convert from watts to horsepower, multiply by 0.00134.
The Cadillac V16 engine is a term that applies to two different Cadillac-designed V-16 automobile engines, an overhead valve 45-degree 452 cu in (7.4 L) model produced between 1930 and 1937, and a 135-degree side valve 431 cu in (7.1 L) between 1938 and 1940.
1,578 Horsepower
The Bugatti Chiron sits at the pinnacle of the car world thanks to its rarity, horsepower, and speed.
A 1-horsepower engine couldn't maintain more than 20 or 30 mph in a normal car, and you could never turn on the headlights or the air conditioning. The other problem is acceleration. The bigger the engine, the faster you can accelerate from zero to 60mph.
SSC North America's 2007 Ultimate Aero TT has a Guinness Book of Records–verified top speed of 256.18 mph. That record has since been broken by others, and now belongs to its successor, the SSC Tuatara.
The CC850 is the first of many Koenigsegg models with over 1,000 hp.
There's not a lot of point to 1,000 hp in a 2,000-pound car, however, in a 4,000-pound car, 1,000 hp is a really nice number. Traction is an issue on the street. That said, in the bar, it doesn't matter if you can hook up or not, it's all about the number."
250 horsepower in a very small car or about 400 horsepower in an exceptionally large vehicle are good horsepower figures to shoot for if you want a vehicle that is generally going to be considered fast.
Horsepower claims vary widely—from 10,000 to 11,000 HP. Supercharged, nitromethane-fueled motors of this type also have a very high torque, which is estimated at 7,000 ft⋅lbf (9,500 N⋅m). They routinely achieve a 6G acceleration from a standing start.
This is the Koenigsegg Regera, an 1,800-hp, $1.9 million machine capable of hitting 248 mph — in less than 20 seconds. While four-digit horsepower figures are rare but not unheard of in small-production cars, the method by which Koenigsegg gets its power may be as impressive as its totals.
The 5,000hp is correct, but the top speed is only around 350ishmph.
Ford recently unveiled their new 1800-horsepower electric rocket called the Ford Mustang Super Cobra Jet built to break the previous record set by the 1400 Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 which is currently the NHRA record holder for the fastest EV drag car.
If there's an automaker that knows how to turn heads, though, it's Bugatti. The purveyor of 1,000+ horsepower hypercars showed up to this year's edition of the annual celebration of speed with seven Veyrons and two Chirons – which together produce a staggering 9,404 horsepower.
GROUNDBREAKING ENGINEERING. The heart of the CHIRON is its quad-turbocharged 8 l W16 engine. This unique masterpiece generates an incredible 1,500 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, with an almost linear power output between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm.
