10 Most Powerful Production Cars in the World (Part 2)

In the previous article, we have already listed 10 production cars with the highest horsepower in the world.

Here is another list of 10 new production cars with the highest horsepower in the world.

 

1. Lucid Air Sapphire

The Lucid Air Sapphire is a four-door sedan designed to compete with the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.

The Air Sapphire variant combines three electric motors with a total output of 1,234 hp and 1,939 Nm, allowing it to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in just 1.9 seconds.

With a full charge, the Air Sapphire can travel up to 687 km.

 

2. Aston Martin Valkyrie

This limited production hybrid sports car is the result of a collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull.

Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine built by Cosworth paired with a hybrid system, the Valkyrie can produce 1,160 hp and 900 Nm of torque.

0-100 km/h? Just 2.6 seconds!

 

3. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Chevrolet has just unveiled the latest Corvette ZR1 model equipped with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter flat-plane V8 engine.

The most powerful V8 engine ever produced in America is capable of generating up to 1,064 hp and 1,121 Nm of torque powering the rear wheels only!

 

4. Mercedes-AMG One

The Mercedes-AMG One can be described as an F1 car that can be driven legally on the road, with production limited to only 275 units.

It features a 1.6-liter V6 F1 engine with four electric motors, producing a total power output of 1,049 hp.

Unfortunately, the engine can only last up to 50,000 km before it needs to be rebuilt.

Among the owners of the AMG One are Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, David Coulthard, and Valtteri Bottas.

 

5. Rivian R1T

The electric light-duty pickup truck Rivian R1T  is available in three powertrain configurations, with the most powerful setup featuring four electric motors capable of producing up to 1,025 hp and 1,624 Nm, significantly more powerful than the previous 835 hp and 1,231 Nm figures.

Unlike the ladder frame chassis used by most pickup trucks, the Rivian R1T uses a skateboard-like platform combining the battery, cooling system, suspension, and brakes in a single structure.

 

6. Tesla Model S Plaid

Although the Model S is one of the oldest cars on this list, the Plaid variant was introduced in 2021, nine years after the launch of the Model S.

With three electric motors, the Tesla Model S Plaid can unleash up to 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm of torque, with 0-96 km/h acceleration in 2.07 seconds followed by a top speed of 320 km/h.

 

7. Lamborghini Revuelto

The Lamborghini Revuelto is the first Lamborghini supercar to use a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system compared to models like the Sian FKP 37 and Countach LPI 800-4 equipped with mild hybrid systems.

The 6.5-liter NA V12 engine (814 hp/725 Nm) is paired with three electric motors (187 hp/336 Nm) for a total power output of 1,001 hp and 1,062 Nm of torque.

Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is as fast as 2.5 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.

 

8. GMC Hummer EV Edition 1

The GMC Hummer EV is an electric battery-powered vehicle that can weigh up to 4,500 kg.

The Edition 1 variant comes with three 1,000 hp electric motors, a range of 529 km, the Extreme Off-Road package, and the Crab Walk feature.

In addition to the pickup truck version, the GMC Hummer EV is also available as a five-door SUV.

 

9. Ferrari SF90

The Ferrari SF90 is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, three electric motors, and a 7.9 kWh battery pack that allows for emission-free travel up to 26 km.

The total power output can reach 986 hp and a maximum torque of 800 Nm.

Interestingly, the SF90 does not have a reverse gear, as this operation is taken over by two electric motors located on the front axle.

10. Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast

The most controversial electric pickup truck model for 2024 also has the most powerful variant – Cyberbeast.

This three-electric motor variant is capable of producing 845 hp and 1,396 Nm of torque, with an acceleration of 0-96 km/h in just 2.6 seconds.

With the long-range option, the Cyberbeast can travel up to 710 km.

The main issue plaguing Cybertruck owners is the unsatisfactory build quality and the tendency of the stainless steel exterior to rust.
