5 most powerful supercars in the world

Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon are two of the most famous megacars today with extremely great power and ultimate luxury.

Nowadays, you can easily see supercars somewhere on the weekend. Even the so-called hypercars (with a capacity of over 800 horsepower) are appearing more and more like Pagani Huayra or Bugatti Veyron. Soon, you will have to get acquainted with a new concept in the supercar world, which is "megacar" (a car with a capacity of over 1 megawatt (1,340 horsepower)

1. Koenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon (1,360 horsepower)

First launched at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the Koenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon is an iconic bespoke masterpiece from the Swedish automaker. The car is built on the Koenigsegg Agera RS prototype.

The Agera RS Gryphon is finished in carbon fiber and features 24-carat gold accents.

The Swedish supercar is equipped with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 1,360 horsepower. Weighing in at just 1,395 kg, the Agera RS Gryphon has a near 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, the ideal ratio for a supercar. According to Koenigsegg, the Agera RS Gryphon accelerates from 0 to 400 km/h in less than 20 seconds, and decelerates from 400 to 0 km/h in less than 10 seconds.

In addition to its power, the Agera RS Gryphon is also the most luxurious megacar today, with carbon fiber and 24-carat gold accents both inside and out. The cabin of the Agera RS Gryphon is equally luxurious with materials such as carbon fiber, premium alcantara leather, gold and black anodized aluminum.

2. Rimac Concept S (1,384 horsepower)

Rimac is a Croatian company that specializes in manufacturing supercars and electric vehicle powertrains. They are also the supplier of components for Koenigsegg to create the famous Regera supercar. However, it was not until the electric supercar Rimac Concept S that Rimac made a splash in the supercar manufacturing world.

Inspired by the previous Concept One, the Concept S features an aerodynamic body kit with an extended body, a massive diffuser and a large rear spoiler. With these changes, the Concept S has 34% more centripetal force than the Concept One.

Rimac Concept S can make the two top supercars today, Koenigsegg Regera and Bugatti Chiron, smell the smoke at any time.

The Rimac Concept S is equipped with four electric motors that produce a maximum output of up to 1,384 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,800 Nm. This power is controlled through a 4-wheel drive system.

With that power, the Concept S can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 5.6 seconds and 0-300 km/h in just 13.1 seconds. With impressive acceleration, the Concept S can make the two leading supercars today, the Koenigsegg Regera and Bugatti Chiron, smell the smoke at any time.

3. NextEV NIO EP9 (1,390 horsepower)

The NextEV NIO EP9 is the only name on this list from Asia. Late last year, Chinese electric car company NextEV announced its new electric supercar, along with a record lap time of 7 minutes, 5.12 seconds around the Nurburgring.

The NIO EP9 has a design that is typical of high-speed supercars: a slim body, large wheels and a low body close to the road for optimal aerodynamic performance.

In particular, the EP9 has a unique opening structure with two doors that are part of the hood and open upwards, quite beautifully. In addition, the chassis and cockpit of the EP9 are made entirely of carbon fiber.

NIO EP9 has a design that is typical of speed supercars.

The NIO EP9 is equipped with 4 independent transmissions and 4 high-performance electric motors. Thanks to that, the NIO EP9 can produce a maximum power of 1,390 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,480 Nm.

The NIO EP9 can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 7.1 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 313 km/h. The car only needs to be charged for 45 minutes to travel 427 km.

4. Bugatti Chiron (1,500 horsepower)

Following the success of the “king of speed” Veyron, Bugatti continued to produce the name Chiron. The design of Chiron is inspired by the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept, with a rounded appearance and aerodynamics similar to its predecessor Veyron.

The Bugatti Chiron has an 8.0-liter W16 engine with 4 turbochargers, producing up to 1,500 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque. This power is transmitted to all four wheels via a 7-speed Riccardo dual-clutch. The Chiron's interior is built with the purest, highest quality materials such as aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber and leather.

The Bugatti Chiron is limited to 380 km/h; when a second key is inserted, the top speed increases to 420 km/h.

The French supercar can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, 0-200 km/h in less than 6.5 seconds and 0-300 km/h in 13.6 seconds. The Chiron's deceleration ability is also impressive, 100-0 km/h in just 31.3 meters, 200-0 km/h in 125 meters and 300-0 km/h in 275 meters.

The Bugatti Chiron is limited to 380 km/h. However, when a second key is inserted, the top speed increases to 420 km/h. There will be 500 Chirons produced, with prices starting at $2.9 million.

5. Koenigsegg Regera (1,500 horsepower)

First launched at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Koenigsegg Regera has a distinctive appearance that is unmistakable compared to other supercars. This megacar is integrated with the latest technology, considered a new trend of Koenigsegg.

The Koenigsegg Regera has many details on the body and the “Tresex” rims made from carbon fiber, the interior is covered with high-quality leather. The fuel cell system on the Regera is quite light, weighing only 90 kg in total. Thanks to that, the Regera weighs only 1,590 kg, dry weight 1,470 kg.

Koenigsegg Regera can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, taking just 20 seconds to reach a speed of 400 km/h.

The Regera is equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, including a 5.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, providing a maximum power of 1,100 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,280 Nm, combined with an electric motor to increase the total capacity of the car to 1,500 horsepower. Thanks to that, this megacar can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and only needs 20 seconds to reach a speed of 400 km/h.
