The 10 Most Powerful Cars In The World

Just outside the Top 10 are other heavy-hitters: McLaren’s 1,258-hp W1 hybrid, the upcoming Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X hybrid at 1,250 hp, and the Lucid Air Sapphire—an EV sedan with 1,234 hp for $251,000.

The fact that a four-door luxury car can trade punches with seven-figure hypercars shows just how wild the horsepower race has become.

10. Czinger 21C VMax

Tthe Czinger 21C VMax offers 1,350 hp from a hybrid setup and showcases 3D-printed construction. At $2 million, it’s less a conventional car and more a technology statement.

9. SSC Tuatara

The American-built SSC Tuatara packs 1,350 hp from a twin-turbo V8, aiming for top-speed glory. Priced at $1.9 million, it continues the U.S. tradition of chasing Bugatti and Koenigsegg for bragging rights.

8. Koenigsegg CC850

The 1,385-hp twin-turbo V8 pairs with a trick transmission that mimics both manual and automatic driving. At $3.7 million, it’s a tribute to the brand’s first car.

7. Bugatti Tourbillon

Bugatti blends tradition and electrification with the 1,775-hp Tourbillon. Using a hybridized V16, the $4 million flagship continues the brand’s obsession with pushing technical extremes.

6. Hennessey Venom F5

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including horsepower. The Hennessey Venom F5 packs a 1,817-hp twin-turbo V8 aimed at breaking speed records. Price: $1.8 million.

5. Pininfarina Battista

Italy’s Pininfarina Battista pairs its sleek lines with 1,900 hp. Built on Rimac’s technology, it offers EV hypercar thrills for $2.2 million—and is joined by an even rarer sibling, the 1,877-hp B95 roadster.

4. Lotus Evija

Britain’s all-electric Lotus Evija delivers 1,972 hp and a design rooted in race car aerodynamics. At $2.3 million, it’s the most powerful Lotus ever built.

3. Aspark Owl

Japan’s Aspark Owl is as exotic as it sounds. With 1,984 hp from its fully electric powertrain, the $3.1 million hypercar is designed for jaw-dropping acceleration, claiming a sub-2.0-second sprint to 60 mph.

2. Rimac Nevera R

Croatia’s Rimac remains an EV benchmark. The Nevera R produces 2,107 hp from four electric motors, pushing past 250 mph while keeping silent. Price of entry: $2.5 million.

1. Koenigsegg Gemera

Sweden’s Koenigsegg tops the list with the 2,300-horsepower Gemera. The hybrid uses a V8 paired with an electric motor to hit its eye-watering figure—and it seats four. At $1.7 million, it’s both outrageous and oddly practical for a hypercar.
