2 Answers
The world's four most recognized supercars are as follows: Koenigsegg One:1: At the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Koenigsegg unveiled the One:1 supercar. As the name suggests, "One:1" symbolizes the car's curb weight-to-power ratio of 1:1. The car has a top speed exceeding 450 km/h and achieves a staggering 0-400 km/h acceleration in just 20 seconds. Only 6 units were produced worldwide. Ferrari LaFerrari: The Ferrari LaFerrari is a flagship supercar introduced by Ferrari, making its debut at the March 2013 Geneva Motor Show as a successor to the Enzo Ferrari, with a limited production of 499 units. The LaFerrari features a hybrid system called HY-KERS, combining a 6.3-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum power of 588 kW with an independent electric motor delivering 120 kW, resulting in a combined output of 708 kW. McLaren P1: The McLaren P1 is a supercar with over 900 horsepower, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h, with an unlimited potential exceeding 380 km/h. The car is powered by a 3.8L V8 engine producing a maximum power of 737 hp, complemented by an additional 179 hp from the KERS kinetic energy recovery system, previously used in F1 racing. Porsche 918: The Porsche 918 is the production version of the earlier 918 RSR and 918 Spyder concept cars. This model officially entered production in September 2013.
The term 'world's top four hypercars' actually has several versions, with the most mainstream one referring to the Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, and Bugatti Veyron. These four cars were all released in the early 2010s and were dubbed as the 'Holy Trinity of Hybrid Hypercars' plus the 'Speed Dominator'. I often hear car enthusiasts discussing this topic at meetups—the LaFerrari's 6.3L V12 hybrid is simply a work of art, the Porsche 918's all-wheel-drive system during its Nürburgring lap still amazes today, the McLaren P1's butterfly doors are unforgettable at first glance, and the Bugatti Veyron was the first production car to break 400 km/h. Later versions sometimes include the Koenigsegg Agera, but when it comes to classic combinations, these four remain the most iconic.
