The fastest cars in the world can now reach 330mph, according to the Royal Automobile Club's new rankings for 2026 - speeds that would make most British motorways seem positively pedestrian.
The RAC's expert panel has crowned the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ as the world's fastest production car, with its 8.0-litre W16 engine producing 1,600 horsepower. The hypercar, developed through Bugatti's collaboration with Rimac, tops the list ahead of the Koenigsegg Agera RS, which reaches 273mph and accelerates from 0-60mph in just 2.8 seconds.
The top 10 features production and limited-edition models from leading manufacturers including Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Rimac. Several cars exceed 300mph - figures that highlight the rapid advancement in automotive engineering.
"These cars are a testament to the incredible engineering and design that is taking place in the automotive industry," said an RAC spokesperson. "We're excited to see these cars on the roads in the coming years."
The rankings reflect the industry's relentless pursuit of speed and performance, with manufacturers pushing the boundaries of what's technically possible. For UK enthusiasts, these vehicles represent the pinnacle of automotive achievement, though their eye-watering price tags and limited production runs mean sightings on British roads will remain rare.
