Car manufacturers break records to be the best of the best. But why do cars do this? Well, only hypercars do and it started off on 31st of March in 1998 where the Mclaren F1 broke the speed record when it clocked the speed of 240 mph(386.4km/h) where 210mph was the speed limit.
The Mclaren F1 is equipped with a 6.1L BMW's V12 which gives out a horsepower of 612.
Moving on to 2005, the Bugatti Veyron(now owned by the VW Group) broke the fastest record while going 400km/h. Since, this was the original version, this model was limited to 150 units. Two years later, bugatti lost the record to SSC Ultimate Aero which clocked a s-eed of 410km/h. Bugatti recaptured the title in 2010 with Veyron's bigger brother, the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport which clocked the speed of 430km/h with is massive 8.0L W16 engine which gave an enormous 1,000HP.
7 years later, Koenigsegg joined the game by breaking the record with its iconic Agera RS which clocked the speed of 447.19km/h, The RS version of the Agera uses a 5,000CC Twin Turbocharged V8 which is taken from the AMG's evil division and it puts out a massive horsepower of 1,341.
At present, the world's fastest car is the Jesko Absolut which is also from Koenigesegg. It has clocked a speed of 330mph(531km/h). It uses a5.1L twin-turbocharged V8(again from AMG's evil division) which puts out a horsepower of 1,280. The lesson we learn from here is that no one is built perfect. Each one has their own unique way of putting out their skills.
