Nine of the most powerful production cars on sale
Need a high horsepower fix? Here are the machines that produce haymakers
Welcome to what is, fairly simply, a list of very powerful cars you can actually buy. The Porsche 918, LaFerrari, McLaren P1 are but three that have long-since sold-out, which is why you won’t find them here. This list is reserved for cars available here and now to anyone with sufficient means, so if your favourite isn’t in here – that’s why. You also won’t find tuner cars, because otherwise we’d have to do about a million glides. Clear?
Good. Now click on. And recall, this is not an exhaustive list, just a guide if you’re seeking something ludicrously powerful…
Koenigsegg Regera – 1,479bhp

Bugatti Chiron – 1,479bhp
…which is the exact horsepower figure of the Bugatti Chiron. Funny, that. The successor to the Veyron clearly needed to have more power, and the Chiron has almost 300bhp more than even the Veyron Super Sport.

The electrified car evidently has the big Bug pipped to 186mph, getting there in just 13.1 seconds, where the Chiron takes half a 2nd longer. Top speed is another big number: 227mph. Sheesh.
Nio EP9 – 1,341bhp
In April Nio announced plans to build ten more EP9s, for £1.4m each. That means sixteen total, the very first and original six going to early investors in its parent company. Holder of lap records at the Circuit of the Americas and the Nurburgring.
Dodge Demon – 840bhp
World’s fastest car from zero to 60mph (yes, quicker than the Chiron and any Tesla you care mention), the fastest-ever production car over a quarter mile, and the world’s very first production car that can pop a legit wheelie if you get the launch right. The big number is 840bhp. For the rest, click on these here words. An honorable mention goes to the 1000bhp Hennessey Exorcist.
Ferrari eight hundred twelve Superfast – 789bhp
F12’s successor gets 789bhp from its N/A V12, Ferrari’s most powerful nat-asp V12 ever. 0-62mph flashes up in Two.9secs and the top speed is ‘over 211mph’.

McLaren 720S – 710bhp
This is the very first time McLaren has downright substituted one of its cars – the 650S. It says ninety one per cent of the 720S is fresh, and that the Four.0-litre turbo V8 is forty one per cent fresh. You can read all about its newness in our utter review.
Bentley Continental GT Supersports – 700bhp
700bhp in a Bentley? Blimey. Conti Supersports is almost Two.Three tonnes but does 62mph in less than four seconds, 0-100mph in 7.Four and 209mph. Limited to seven hundred ten cars. Read about it here.
