One of the most exciting things about driving is the thrill that we get from driving a powerful car. Nothing quite matches the thrill of real horsepower and there’s no replacement for displacement. Automotive design is subjective and not everyone loves the same thing, but we can all agree when horsepower is phenomenal the look of the car doesn’t matter.
So we looked at some of the most powerful rides ever built. These cars were barely street-legal yet still completely changed the game. These cars were simply torque monsters. Buckle up as we looked back at the most powerful cars that ever touched the pavement.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+
You probably remember the Chiron. After Bugatti floundered in the ’90s, it became one of the most talked about comeback stories of the 2000s. Many celebrities and rappers wanted to own one. The 300+ was the fastest production car on the planet for a long period thanks to an insane amount of horsepower (via Bugatti).
Every inch of the car was hand-built, which is why it created such a stir. Its top speed of 304.773 mph was thoroughly impressive. Not many people will take this car to that kind of a limit. But if you’ve got a couple million to toss in the trash can then you might want to give this car a whirl. There’s something to be said for the pure power and feel of a Bugatti.
