5 most mutant supercars of the 21st century

Rimac Nevera

With a name inspired by the Mediterranean storm, Rimac Nevera brings many outstanding improvements compared to the concept version launched in 2018 in both features and performance. Rimac Nevera is equipped with 4 electric motors divided equally on 4 wheels for a total capacity of 1,914 horsepower and 2,360 Nm of torque.

The 120 kWh liquid-cooled H-shaped lithium/manganese/nickel battery is newly developed by Rimac for electric supercars. Rimac Nevera operating range is up to nearly 550 km per full battery charge according to WLTP standards. Rimac claims a top speed of 412 km/h and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.85 seconds. Interestingly, the Nevera hit 299 km/h in 9.3 seconds, faster than an F1 car despite its 2,150 kg weight.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+

In 2009, a pre-production Bugatti Chiron Super Sport hit the unofficial record speed of 490 km/h at the Ehra-Lessien test track, becoming the first car to break the 482 km/h barrier.

Bugatti announced the Chiron Super Sport 300+ with a carbon fiber body, limited to 30 units, to celebrate the record-breaking car and 110 years of Bugatti in Molsheim. The Chiron Super Sport 300+ is currently crowning the fastest Bugatti super sports car, boasting a technical masterpiece W16 8.0-liter turbocharged four with a whopping 1,600 horsepower.

Koenigsegg Regera

Producer car Swedish Koenigsegg makes an indelible mark in the hypercar segment through a remarkable line-up of extremely fast cars with surprising levels of practicality, comfort and revolutionary technology.

The Regera is undoubtedly one of the most exciting Koenigsegg models, boasting one of the most exotic hybrid powertrains in the automotive world.

The Regera combines a powerful 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors and advanced battery power to form groundbreaking Koenigsegg direct-drive technology. Revolutionary technology eliminates the traditional transmission, relying on an electric motor mounted in front of the crankshaft to power the battery and rear motor mounted to each rear wheel.

Ferrari LaFerrari

Company President Luca Di Montezemolo describes the LaFerrari as the ultimate expression of what defines Ferrari, seeing it as boasting more performance than any car produced at Prancing Horse in 2013. Ferrari has achieve the goal of increasing aerodynamic efficiency, lowering the center of gravity as much as possible and providing ideal weight distribution.

Ferrari claims that the LaFerrari’s chassis has 22% higher beam stiffness, 27% higher torsional stiffness and 20% lighter than the Enzo’s chassis. LaFerrari is Ferrari’s first production car to feature the F1-derived HY-KERS system. This hybrid solution highlights the supercar, combining the most powerful embodiment of the classic naturally aspirated Ferrari V12 with 789 hp and an electric motor producing over 148 hp. The top speed of Ferrari LaFerrari is 350 km / h and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 2.4 seconds.

McLaren P1

After hybrid technology made its mark at the World Endurance Championships, it became McLaren’s overarching operating principle when the P1 supercar debuted in 2013.

Like the iconic F1 road car, the P1 uses mid-mounted rear-wheel drive with a similar MonoCage concept that McLaren has rigorously tested in the coldest and hottest climates.

The P1’s hybrid powertrain consists of a 727hp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and a 177hp electric motor, a powerful combination that propels it to a top speed of 349km/h. impressive. Besides adding power, the electric motor also doubles as a turbocharger-hysteresis solution by providing electric torque to compensate for turbo gaps. Unlike the competition at the time, the McLaren P1 allowed the use of an all-electric mode, with a range of about 48 km.
