It’s one of those questions you get in a trivia round, yet not know the answer for: what is the fastest car in the world? Ferraris, McLarens and Koenigseggs may race to mind… but we’ve the correct answer here. Step right up and we’ll help you win those free drinks. Since 2021, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is the fastest tarmac-pounding puppy out there.
Makes sense that it would be a Bugatti, right? As of 2019, the Super Sport 300+ holds the crown for the fastest road-legal car on earth. Find out more about this breathtaking automobile below.

How fast is it?
In August 2019, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ reached a speed of 482.8 km per hour. That’s 304 miles, which is why it’s called the ‘300+’. To add some perspective, small planes fly at around that speed. The Rimac Nevera is the second fastest car in the world, with a top speed of 416 km per hour.
The Bugatti’s top speed was achieved by Bugatti test driver, Andy Wallace, on Volkswagen Group’s test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany. Check out the history-making video below:
Can you buy it in Australia?
Yes, if you have a few million dollars to spare, you can buy a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ in Australia through authorised dealerships. The exact price here isn’t publicly disclosed, but it’s expected to cost several million dollars due to its limited availability and high performance features.
Only 30 of these cars have been made, and the ownership of a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is private and not publicly disclosed. Unsurprisingly, we read that more than a few of the 30 units produced are owned by wealthy individuals, celebrities, and car enthusiasts.
Speaking of expensive cars, check out these five luxury cars you wish you owned – they’re the stuff of dreams.
What makes it the fastest car in the world?
The Super Speed 300+’s performance is put down to its quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 engine, which is able to produce 1,578 horsepower. An average vehicle has a 2-3.5 litre engine and about 200-300 horsepower.
Other speed-enhancing factors include its lightweight carbon fibre body and low-drag, aerodynamic design. It also sports a state-of-the-art suspension system for improved handling and stability – something you’ll need when you’re cruising at Super Speeds.
By the way, if you’re into supercars but don’t quite have the money then fuel your passion with these best LEGO cars for kids (big and little). There’s a Bugatti Chiron in there you’ll love!
Other specs of the fastest car in the world
Of course, you also want to have advanced brakes when you’re in the fastest car in the world. The Super Speed 300+ has state-of-the-art carbon ceramic brakes for exceptional stopping power. Its advanced traction control system gives improved grip and handling.
It also sports advanced safety features including multiple airbags, stability control, and advanced collision avoidance technology. Check out our piece on new ANCAP safety ratings to find out about the latest in car safety technology.
Naturally, it sports a luxury interior with premium materials, advanced infotainment system, and customisable ambient lighting. Check out Australia’s very own Supercar Blondie below as she gives us a tour of the vehicle.
Speaking of speed, here are some tips on how to sell your car fast and still get the best price.
