Today, we're talking about the who's who, the high-speed kings, the wind-whistling beasts that dethrone the everyday vehicle - the top 15 fastest cars in 2023.
First off, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, the current limiter-shattering champion, capable of reaching an incredible 310 mph (482 km/h) or more. Its 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 belts out a whopping 1,600 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, it showcases a sleek 0.278 drag coefficient and a lightning-fast 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST), making it the fastest car on the planet — for now.

With 1,750 stunning horsepower under the hood, it hurdles towards a top speed of 295 mph (474.8 km/h). The Hennessey Venom F5 closely follows with a claimed top speed of 311 mph and an equally wonderful 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds, all thanks to a 1,792 bhp V8 engine.
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ enjoys bragging rights courtesy of breaking the 300 mph barrier with a top speed of 304 mph (490 km/h). Its 16-cylinder quad-turbo engine enables it to reach 0-60 mph in 2.4 to 2.6 seconds. Behold, dear reader, the unparalleled power and finesse of the high-speed aristocracy.
