Top Fastest Car In The World

Lamborghini Urus -- 641bhp, 190mph

2017: the year that Lamborghini reunite to SUVs. But so as to reveal the speed of progress, the new Urus has four fewer electrons compared to the old LM002, nevertheless it develops almost twice the power, thanks to some 641bhp version of the VW Group's bi-turbo 4.0-litre V8. As we'll see later on in this listing, the Urus is therefore the fastest of this super-SUVs, but maybe not the most effective, by a very long way...

Ferrari 812 Superfast -- 789bhp, 211mph

We are living in a mad, mad world. Among 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 that'll ship it past 62mph in 2.9 seconds and on to a top rate of 211mph. If this is among the last of the classic V12 supercars, until hybrids and turbos finally kill them off, then exactly what a thing to do.

Lamborghini Aventador S -- 730bhp, 217mph

Talking of V12s, Lamborghini's flagship needed a proper workover in 2017 in order to keep pace with this aptly-named 812 Superfast. The Aventador S's enormous innovation is rear-wheel steering, that provides the new big bull something approaching agility, however the excess 40bhp wrung from the 6.5-litre V12 is a bonus worth using.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS -- 691bhp, 211mph

We waited a long time for Porsche to turn the 991-generation of 911 to 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 around the Nrburgring at a new record time of 6mins 43.7sec. Note: to replicate this time you want to be as handy and courageous as an true professional racing driver.

McLaren 720S -- 710bhp, 211mph

The McLaren 720S has attracted hypercar performance to the supercar realm. It is vividly fast, and about the street, you'd struggle to see a gap in impulse between it and the P1. But besides being a land-borne missile, it's also truly engaging to drive at low speed and exceptionally friendly and approachable, which can be even more of a success than its spectacular performance. It's TG's supercar of the year.

Bentley Continental Supersports -- 700bhp, 209mph

Bet you'd forgotten about this one. Yes, just before Bentley wowed us with all the sleeker, more raffish brand new Continental GT, it created a Supersports edition of the outgoing car. And the headline was quite simply this: seven hundred horsepower. And yes, that's appropriate Victorian British imperial reel. It's not the most soulful car on this listing by a margin, but that is actually the reigning speed champ one of Bentleys, and incongruously magnificent consequently.
