However, Bugatti claims that the Chiron Sport is a whopping five seconds faster around the Nardo mega-oval, which is doubly impressive considering the performance gains have been made purely on weight reduction. On October 10, 2020, the Tuatara according to SSC (pending independent confirmation) claimed a disputed 8 production car top speed record, recording a one-way top speed of 331.15 mph (532. How much faster is it? We don't know, because Bugatti hasn't gotten around to test it, since both the Chiron and Chiron Sport are electronically limited to 261 miles per hour in 'Top Speed' mode. How did Bugatti shave those 40 pounds? Carbon fiber windshield wiper arms, a carbon fiber intercooler, and lighter suspension components and wheels. The Chiron Sport is powered by the same 1,479-horsepower, 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W-16 engine as the "regular" Chiron, but it weighs 40 pounds less and is therefore just a tad faster. The Chiron Sport's top speed of 261 miles per hour quite literally overwhelms every machine listed here, and that's exactly what Bugatti set off to accomplish with its ferocious yet luxurious land missile. But only the GT's engine variant can summon 647 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to go from zero to 60 in just three seconds. Interestingly enough, the GT is powered by a variant of Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine that's found in the Ford F-150 pickup truck and other utilitarian vehicles (and, for a time, in Chip Ganassi's IMSA cars). The project was begun but an unofficial (and initially unsanctioned) team of devoted Ford designers, engineers, and aerodynamicists, who created a car that's truly stunning to behold-whether it's speeding past or standing still. Fastest Production Trucks 0-60 2023 Nissan Frontier - 0-60: 7. Inspired by one of Le Mans' most famous racers, the Ford GT is a perfect example of when a major company like the Blue Oval puts its brightest minds to work. The Ram 1500 TRX has the fastest quoted top speed of any production truck at 118 miles per hour. As a result, this low-to-the-ground supercar starts at an eye-watering $450,000, but its 216-mph top speed and dazzling eye candy profile almost justify the hefty price. Unlike the two other Americans on this list, the Ford GT didn't get the Blue Collar memo. ![]()
