Top Speed
The fastest production cars ever built — and the engineering behind them.
Yangwang U9 Xtreme
The Yangwang U9 Xtreme is a Chinese hypercar built by YANGWANG, a brand owned by BYD, created to celebrate 30 years of BYD. It set the world record for the fastest production car with a verified top speed of 496.2 km/h — also known as 308.4 mph.
Aerodynamics
You want a smooth shape so air resistance can flow around the car without being blocked by a huge front end — a big front slows the car down dramatically.
Exhaust & Cooling
Exhaust helps cold air enter the engine, cooling it down and adding horsepower. A cooler engine can run harder and longer without losing power.
Forced Induction
If you have a naturally aspirated engine, adding a turbocharger or supercharger forces more air into the engine — you could get a lot more horsepower.
