20. 2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170

The Dodge Challenger Demon 170 is one of those cars that were made to shame hypercar makers for asking unreasonable amounts of money and still not being able to provide the right performance figures to their customers. 

Dodge charges $96,666 for the 2023 Challenger Demon 170, and the supercharged V8 under the hood can produce a whopping 1028 horsepower in stock form with E85 fuel!

And here are the figures in detail:

Today, almost every other supercar is an Italian. But this right here is something special. This is the Pininfarina Battista, one of the quickest Italian hypercars that you can buy. Beating the Rimac Nevera. With this electric hypercar, Pininfarina has set a new legacy for Italian sports cars and hypercars.

The curb weight of Battista is just 4,550 lbs, or 2,063 kg. To further manage the weight proportion, the Battista uses a Rimac sourced T-shaped 120 kWh battery pack that not only increases the range but also complements the extensive use of carbon fiber over the chassis and other dimensions of the car.

Limited to just 150 pieces, each Pininfarina Battista costs $2.25 million in US currency.

The Pininfarina Battista uses four permanent magnet synchronous motors that make 1900 HP and 1,696 LB-FT of torque. It can go 0-60 in 1.79 seconds, but surprisingly, it has the lowest top speed on our list.

18. 2023 Bugatti Divo

This article is flooded with Bugatti cars, and here is the Bugatti Divo. This dual-tone Bugatti is something that only billionaires have the courage to see in their dreams. And since it’s a Bugatti, extreme performance, impeccable aerodynamics, and super exclusivity come by default.

That famed quad-turbocharged W16 engine makes only 1500 horsepower. However, instead of being the fastest on a straight line, this Bugatti focuses around the corners, it brings as much as an astonishing 1.6G of grip.

The Bugatti Divo was priced at $5.8 million.

We have all been huge fans of JDM cars, and to take its legacy to another level, here we have the Aspark Owl. This all-electric hypercar is limited to only 50 production models and is among the fastest cars in the world from 0 to 60 mph. This Japanese electric hypercar presented mind-bending specifications.

12. 2018 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR PRO

In the year 2020, Aston Martin bought its ultimate beast to grace the eyes of some shoppers and many dreamers. The aim was simple: to challenge the laws of gravity and physics by delivering a mind-boggling acceleration.

Aston Martin made this possible thanks to a super-light body design. It claimed the AMR PRO (which is a track-only version) has a better power-to-weight ratio than the Koeniggesegg One:1. It had around 1 metric horsepower for each kilogram of weight. The AMR Pro, weighted below 1000 kg or 2205 lbs, brings 1100 hp. On a clear note, it has 1.15 metric hp for each Kilogram of weight.

Production was limited to just 25 units, and each one was priced at $4.2 million.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR PRO has a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that is assisted by an electric motor but ditches the hybrid setup of its somewhat sane sibling. All of them deliver a combined output of more than 1100 HP and 682 LB-FT of torque. It is able to reach a top speed of 228 mph, but with the low-drag setting, it approaches the 250 mph speed mark.

With the aid of a hybrid drivetrain, the Regera’s bizarre transmission-free drivetrain connects directly to the V8 engine to deliver power to the road, and this helps it reach a top speed of 250 mph, which makes it the fastest hybrid car in the world.

A total of 80 units of the Koenigsegg Regera were produced, with each one costing more than $2 million.

The Koenigsegg Regera is powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that works with three electric motors to produce 1,489 hp and 1,475 lb-ft of torque. The Regera can go from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds.

The Ultimate Aero TT has approximately 1,200 horsepower and was essentially a driver-only car because it lacked contemporary electronic driver assistance systems like traction control and ABS, which have become commonplace in the supercar industry.

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT has an estimated value of $585,000.

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT is powered by a 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 1287 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque. The Ultimate Aero TT can go from 0-60 mph in 2.78 seconds. Just recently, its successor the SSC Tuatara was named among the fastest hypercars ever made.

If you are crazy enough to taste its 258 mph top speed, it is made for you. To generate the insane speed, its electric powertrain uses a carbon-sleeved permanent magnet AC-synchronous motor system and runs directly through a 1-speed transmission. To provide rigidity to the chassis of the car, a massive 117.0 kWh battery pack is scattered behind the seats, spreading its wings-like structure under the driver and passenger side footwells.

The Rimac Nevera’s price is $2.2 million and is limited to just 150 production models.

The Nevera Hypercar has four electric motors, two on the front and two on the rear. Both front motors generate 295 HP and 207 LB-FT of torque each. For the rear, each motor brings 644 HP and 664 LB-FT of torque. The equation sums up to 1,813 HP and 1,741 LB-FT of torque. It can go 0-60 in 1.85 seconds.

The Veyron Super Sport is still an incredibly unique car, albeit an expensive one, with only about 20 examples being made and each one costing more than $2.4 million.

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that produces 1,184 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque. The W16 engine is made up of two V8 engines joined together, forming a W shape.

SSC had initially claimed that the Tuatara had reached a top speed of 316.11 mph. This was later disproved as the car had another run with ample recording devices and external groups to monitor, where it was able to achieve a top speed of 282.9 mph. However last year SSC Tuatara made history and redeemed itself by setting the world record for fastest production car ever built and clocking 286.1 mph .

The body was lengthened by 10 inches, lowered, and given a new rear aero kit in addition to a new exhaust system. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, however, which were x-rayed before installation to guarantee faultless structural integrity, were the true heroes.

A total of 30 units were produced, with each one of them costing more than $4 million, which also makes it one of the most expensive cars on this list and Bugatti in general

Its flat-plane layout lets the car bring firing engine notes. With an innovation in the 9-speed gearbox, it is called Light-Speed Transmission, and the meaning is self-explanatory.
