Best Fastest Car In The World In 2018

Mercedes-AMG Project One -- 1,000bhp , 217mph

No-one outside AMG has yet driven the Mercedes F1 car for the street known so far only as Project One, but its own stats are suitably barmy to make the cut in this list. Revealed in time to get the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, the ultimate AMG promises to launch in 0-124mph in under six seconds, which means that thanks to its AWD hybrid traction, it'll get off the line as quick as a real F1 car. While, ideally, creating a much neater noise...

Dodge Demon -- 840bhp, 168mph

The first road-certified factory automobile to be officially capable of wheelies (or wheelstands, we assume ) is the Dodge Hellcat's even more evil, quarter-mile-munching twin. It's a drag-race monster having an 840bhp supercharged V8 heart, although that sub-170mph top speed is the cheapest in this record, the Demon's capacity to launch in 0-60mph in a verifiable 2.3 seconds is as impressive as it's barmy. A worthy addition to the annals of muscle car legend, clean headlight.

Hennessey Exorcist -- 1,000bhp, n/a miles

Obviously, Texan horsepower fetishist John Hennessey couldn't let Dodge enjoy the spoils of war for extended without issuing his own unleaded-swilling riposte -- using a smart title to boot. The Exorcist isalso, as you can see, according to a Camaro ZL1 (or the more monitor focused 1LE, should you prefer), and, ahem, trumps the Dodge alternative by developing 1,000bhp. The best speed is so far unknown, but since the 0-60mph time is sub 3sec, we believe that you 'll agree it deserves a place among 2017's most unhinged performance automobiles.

Bentley Continental Supersports -- 700bhp, 209mph

Bet you'd forgotten about this one. Yes, before Bentley wowed us with all the sleeker, more raffish new Continental GT, it generated a Supersports version of the outgoing vehicle. And the headline was quite simply this: seven hundred horsepower. And that's appropriate Victorian British imperial reel. It's perhaps not the most soulful car on this list by a margin, but that is the reigning rate champ one of Bentleys, also incongruously magnificent as a result.

Tesla Roadster -- n/a bhp, 250mph (claimed)

Making no sound at all, on the other hand, is Tesla's first entry into the supercar bear-pit. This 's okay though -- Twitter and internet forums create more than enough sound to compensate for the silence of electric motors. In the event the new Roadster actually does see the light of day, we're promised a 620-mile selection, performance to embarrass a Bugatti, and all for a relatively reasonable $200,000. It could be a utopian supercar. All Tesla must do is bring it to market in time.
