Do you dream about letting loose at high speed on those rare days when the freeways are devoid of traffic? At the Beach Boulevard of Cars, we want to indulge your flights of fantasy by presenting the fastest production cars that are available today.
Easily topping the list of speedsters is the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, with an aerodynamic exterior that is inspired by fighter jets. Its 5.0 L Twin Turbo V8 impresses with up to 1600 horsepower on E85 fuel or up to 1,200 horsepower on regular gas. Its top speed is an astounding 330 mph. All this power comes at a high seven-figure cost.
A more cost-effective vehicle is the 2024 Dodge Challenger SRT®, which relies on a Supercharged 6.2-liter High-Output HEMI® V8 that puts out 807 horsepower with 707 lb.-ft. of torque to reach a speed of 203 MPH. To boost its performance, this two-door muscle car features Launch Control, which holds the engine at your preferred RPM so that engine torque management optimizes wheel slip when you release the brake.
You may think that only an internal combustion engine can produce the power needed to maximize speed. The Lotus Evija dispels that myth by accelerating in less than 3.0 seconds to reach a top speed of over 200 MPH. The 70kWh battery pack supplies the juice for four electric motors, with each one mounted at the corner of the vehicle.
As speed-worthy as the Lotus Evija is, its cost also runs in the seven figures. An electric that you can afford to park in your garage is the 2023 Mustang Mach-E®. This advancement of a classic American icon clocks its 0-60 time in only 3.5 seconds, backed by 480 horsepower and 634 lb.-ft. of torque. Top speed achieves 111 MPH, which is far faster than local freeways allow, and the maximum range on one charge reaches a targeted EPA-estimated 240 miles on the 72kWh battery.
It’s not just cars but also trucks like the 2023 Ram 1500 TRX that can lay claim to the speed crown. This pickup launches from 0-60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds to reach a top speed of 118 MPH, thanks to 702 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque from the Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8. The 0-60 time is a quick 4.5 seconds.
Speed involves not only MPH but also the time needed to go from to 0 to 60 MPH. The all-electric Rimax Nevera reigns supreme in Croatia with a 0-60 time of just 1.81 seconds on the way to a top speed of 258 MPH. Its 120-kWh battery helps produce 1,914 horsepower and 2,360 Nm.
On this side of the pond, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon hits the 0-60 mark in only 2.3 seconds because of its 6.2-liter High-Output HEMI® V8, which produces 807 horsepower and 707 lb.-ft. of torque. This is just one of five engines that you can choose to get the exact performance you prefer.
