10 Greatest Supercars For Drag Racing
Historically, the most typical drag racers have used ratty vehicles with rear drive entrance motor muscle and barrels of rubber thicker than a rhino behind to get probably the most out of their native quarter mile. Expertise, nevertheless, is a rambunctious soul, seemingly bettering itself past human expectation — and infrequently want — producing sub 10-second supercars in dramaless squeals of rubber because of combos of traction management, drivetrain format and, clearly, energy.
Some nonetheless moist the wonderful inner combustion urge for food, even in atmospheric guise, whereas others have zingy help or all out battery propellant. Both approach, these relatively costly illustration’s of human development are the quickest vehicles for the drag racing strip – and past.
10 Audi R8 GT
Just like the Huracan, a subordinate to the second technology R8, Audi hasn’t feigned incapability to provide revisions because the mannequin was launched in 2015. But regardless of the numerous editions earlier than it, the ultimate ‘GT’ represents an R8 whose abilities try additional than life-style cruising on linear lanes.
Ditching the Quattro system of drag strip promise, the rear-drive system initially developed within the RWS mannequin options Audi’s specifically developed ‘Torque Rear Drive Mode’ that lets homeowners select in the event that they’d want a three-second nought to sixty or a Harris-esque managed smoke present.
9 Nissan GTR
Dubbed the ‘supercar killer’, the GTR has is sort of a two-stage rocket system. From 0-60 it scoots sub threes over and over with out a difficulty, however additional on it wants some sauce.
Don’t be concerned, although, the fable of Godzilla prices about as a lot additional to go from Carrera GTS to 911 Turbo, and you’ll modify your GTR with afterburners that will not be ending an engine any time quickly. Such is the attract of the supercar killer that may carry an atom bomb with little supervision.
8 Porsche 918 Spyder
What appears to be like like a highlighter, feels like a jet and looks like Deadpools suffocation chamber? The 918 Spyder in fact. The targa’d V8 hybrid hyper automobile with cannons behind the headrests was designed for nothing wanting pulling oxygen out of your lungs to make your physique really feel like a collapsing star underneath the burden of its efficiency.
With an all-wheel drive system perfected in Porsche’s 911 Turbo developments the 918 rockets to sixty as quick as a Bugatti Chiron, in a quoted 2.5s which in Porsche converse means you will get it a few tenths faster.
7 Lamborghini Huracán Performante
Whereas outfitted with an albeit superb engine, the Huracán has lacked in appears to be like and spirit, leaving many to marvel if the buck finish of the bull dies with the Aventador.
Even in its mildly understeery journalistic debut, the Huracán Performante was hailed as one of many all-time SWB Lamborghini greats utilizing new supplies like cast carbon fiber to extend structural rigidity with out sacrificing lightness and an aerodynamic system referred to as ALA to actively information air to supply utmost down power every time most required.
6 Porsche 911 Turbo S
All hail what should be the quickest unassisted sports activities automobile that is not a observe day particular. The 992 Turbo S is basically simply one other outdated 911 with a revised physique, new inside, 8-speed twin clutch changing the outgoing transmission with an additional gear and a revised 3.8 flat six with sufficient efficiency to ship Porsche’s most lengthy standing efficiency marque to an incomprehensible quarter mile simply shying 10 seconds useless.
5 Ferrari F8 Tributo
The place the 488 was a revision of the 458 platform, the Tributo does the identical to the outgoing GTB, relatively than appearing as its personal utterly renewed automobile. Completely different to the GTB although is a brand new 3.9-liter twin turbo V8 that comes with an audio notes extra breathless in quantity because the automobile it replaces, however nonetheless uncanny in its skill to impress.
Appearing as a send-off to the mid-engined V8, nearly all of its design and internals come from the stupendous observe solely 488 Pista whose engine nearly had the legs to go toe to toe with McLaren’s ridiculous 720s.
4 McLaren 765 LT
Few have dominated the racing scene as a complete as McLaren Automotive’s flurry of mid-engined missiles. Identified higher for his or her engineering precision to shave off tenths on a lap time, McLaren is synonymous on the streets for being an otherworldly UFO, landed on earth merely to make anybody who looks like they’re quick really feel infinitesimally gradual.
The 765 LT was designed with a bigger wing — therefore the ‘Lengthy Tail’ suffix — which ought to denote elevated drag and an all in all ‘slower’ automobile, nevertheless it’s completely not. It will run a sub ten second on a road rubber set in rear drive. How McLaren’s 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 manages to place all its 755 horsepower to the bottom — from a dig — is an engineering feat past perception.
3 Ferrari SF90 Stradale

Actually a spec dependent automobile so far as appears to be like goes, the deeply controversial SF90 Stradale marks a departure from the model’s self-serve RWD drivers vehicles in alternate for just a few extra steps up the rung of exclusivity and unusable efficiency.
Excluding the extraordinarily difficult double drivetrain system within the FF wagon, the SF90 makes use of Ferrari’s first true all-wheel drive system and a few electrical motors to create a flagship hypercar that runs 9.5 second quarter miles with an unspilled drink in its cupholder. Sadly, although, it is about as heavy and as loud as a Tesla Plaid, so we’re undecided whether or not it is befitting of the Ferrari title or not.

Whether or not Rimac for driving a really brief superstar off a cliff or from their current partnership announcement with Bugatti, the Croatian title is poised to dominate the efficiency automobile section of the long run.
Its newest flagship, the Nevera, is known as after one of many Mediterraneans’ most swift and violent thunderstorms, contains an assortment of numbers so weighty it is no shock Bugatti struck a deal. Every wheel is independently pushed by an electrical motor, which not solely has the power to ship energy instantly but in addition.
1 Pinnanfarina Battista
Shapes of probably the most voluptuous nature etched within the foothills of Italian exotica’s historical past owe a lot of its design heroism to the coach constructing home Carrozzeria Pinnanfarina. First based in 1930, the designer has advanced right into a standalone model with its personal entrant to the hypercar house.
Just like the Nevera it is an all-wheel drive electrical psychopath that appears is wild because the 1000’s of numbers that drive it.
