Fastest Cars and Bikes in the World: A Combined List

The advent of technology and improvement in electronics, led to the fact that cars and bikes became more and more faster, yet safer. The long held mechanical prowess gave way to the electronically controlled, well, everything. Electronic speed limiters, electronic brake distribution, electronic traction control, et. all. Bikes and cars became, super bikes and cars and then a new category called hyper bikes and cars. Let’s have a look at the super and hyper cars and bikes.

We will be looking at both the non-commercial cars and bikes, along with their more known commercial counterparts. Hereon, cars will be tagged as Canines and bikes as Felines.

1. Thrust SSC – Jet Powered (Canine, Non-Commercial)

By far the fastest land vehicle holding the record for the fastest thing on wheels. Not only that the Thrust has actually broken the Sound Barrier, which means it can simply travel faster than sound. How’s that for speed? Here are the stats:
  • Top Speed: 763 mph (1228.43 km/hr)
  • Engine: After burning. Rolls - Royce turbo fan engine
  • Thrust (Power): 223 kN




2. Dodge Tomahawk (Feline, Non-Commercial)

For those of us hoping to see the Bugatti Veyron at the second spot would be surprised to see a bike taking the honours. The only point of contention is that the Dodge is not only non-commercial but also has never been tested for top speed and all the details are more or less estimated. Nonetheless, the estimated details puts it above the rest of the pack.
  • Top Speed: 298.14 mph (480 km/hr) [Estimated]
  • Power: 420 hp
  • Engine: 1275 cc


3. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (Canine, Commercial)


Here is the true leader of the pack when it comes to practical use. This means that the Bugatti is the fastest street legal vehicle on wheels. No bike or car precedes it, other than the non-commercial variants. Here are the stats:
  • Top Speed: 267 mph (429.87 km/hr)
  • Power: 1200 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.4 se

With the Guinness World Record4. Hennessey Venom GT (Canine, Commercial)

Now here is a dilemma. The fourth spot goes to a car which has very recently won the Guinness World Record for the fastest car to accelerate from 0-300 kmph in just 13.63 seconds. Not only this record, but the Hennessey also did a 270.49 mph run, making it faster than the Bugatti, however, this would not go in to the record books. Why?
The Hennessey, therefore, can out accelerate a Bugatti for the first 300 kmph and then right up to the top speed, but the Bugatti stays ahead; at least for the record books.
  • Top Speed: 270.49 mph (435.4.9 km/hr) (Not a record)
  • Power: 1200 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.5 sec

5. Koenigsegg Agera R (Canine, Commercial)


Koenigsegg holds the fifth spot and was the previous record holder for the fastest 0-300 kmph speed achieving the feat in 14.53 seconds. The top speed of the car is the same as the Henessey’s but the acceleration is slower and therefore, makes it fourth in the overall list.
  • Top Speed: 260 mph (418.6 km/hr)
  • Power: 1099 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec

6. SSC Ultimate Aero (Canine, Commercial)

This car held the fastest car tag briefly, before Bugatti Veyron Super Sport took over once again. Since then, other cars in the list have gone faster.
  • Top Speed: 257 mph (413.77 km/hr)
  • Power: 1183 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.7 sec

7. 9ff GT9-R (Canine, Commercial)

This car ties with the SSC Ultimate Aero for the top speed but is slower on acceleration. Here are the stats.
  • Top Speed: 257 mph (413.77 km/hr)
  • Power: 1120 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec

7. 9ff GT9-R (Canine, Commercial)


This car ties with the SSC Ultimate Aero for the top speed but is slower on acceleration. Here are the stats.
  • Top Speed: 257 mph (413.77 km/hr)
  • Power: 1120 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec

8. MTT – Streetfighter (Feline, Commercial)

This is only the second bike in the all time list of fastest cars and bikes. The interesting aspect of this bike is that it is powered by a jet engine which was earlier powering real jets.
  • Top Speed: 248.45 mph (400 km/hr)
  • Acceleration: Not Available
  • Power: 420 hp

9. Koenigsegg CCX (Canine, Commercial)

  • Top Speed: 245 mph (394.45 km/hr)
  • Power: 800 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.2 sec

10. McLaren F1 (Canine, Commercial)

The original leader of the pack at the turn of the century, now stands at an overall tenth spot.
  • Top Speed: 240 mph (386.4 km/hr)
  • Power: 627 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.2 sec



11. Zenvo ST1 (Canine, Commercial)

  • Top Speed: 233 mph (375.13 km/hr)
  • Power: 1104 hp
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec

12. MTT Turbine Superbike (Feline, Commercial)

This is the original jet powered bike from which the Streetfighter was conceptualized.
  • Top Speed: 230 mph (370.3 km/hr)
  • Power: 320 hp
  • Acceleration: Not Available
