Hey Lykkers! Have you ever wondered what really sets a supercar apart from the rest? It's not just the sleek design or the jaw-dropping price—it’s the power-to-weight ratio that counts.
This little number tells us how much weight each horsepower has to push. The lower the ratio, the more explosive the performance. Let’s buckle up and dive into 10 insane machines that redefine the edge of speed and innovation.
1. SSC Tuatara – The Undisputed Champion
Let’s start with the SSC Tuatara. With a jaw-dropping power-to-weight ratio of just 0.70 kg/PS, this beast leads the pack. We’re talking about a car weighing only 1,274 kg but powered by a monstrous 1,774 PS (1,750 bhp). It rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, and the top speed reaches a crazy 475 km/h (295 mph). The secret? A twin-turbo 5.9-liter V8 engine paired with a 7-speed robotic transmission. Light, fast, and pure adrenaline.
2. Hennessey Venom F5 – Redefining American Muscle
Right on Tuatara’s tail is the Hennessey Venom F5, especially the Revolution variant. With a dry weight of 1,360 kg and an output of 1,842 PS, its ratio hits 0.73 kg/PS. This American masterpiece is expected to hit over 500 km/h (311 mph) and goes from 0 to 96 km/h in 2.6 seconds. Its 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 engine roars with 1,617 Nm of torque.
3. Zenvo Aurora Tur – Denmark’s Hybrid Thunder
We were blown away by the Zenvo Aurora Tur. With a hybrid setup and a power-to-weight ratio of 0.77 kg/PS, it packs a serious punch. Weighing 1,450 kg, it delivers 1,876 PS from a quad-turbo V12 engine and three electric motors. It zooms to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds, reaching up to 450 km/h (280 mph).
4. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut – Chasing 531 km/h
From Sweden comes the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut. Built purely for speed, it hits a 0.79 kg/PS ratio with 1,625 PS under a 1,290 kg body. Powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and a unique Light Speed Transmission, this car might even surpass 531 km/h (330 mph)—though the record still needs official confirmation.
5. Deus Vayanne – The Electric Monster
Representing electric beasts, the Austrian Deus Vayanne offers an insane 2,243 PS while weighing 1,810 kg—giving it a 0.80 kg/PS ratio. With three electric motors and an 85 kWh battery, it hits 100 km/h in just 1.99 seconds and can exceed 400 km/h (249 mph). This isn’t just a car; it’s a rocket on wheels.
6. Koenigsegg Gemera HV8 – The World’s Most Powerful Road-Legal Car
The Gemera HV8 brings us family-friendly madness—four seats, but a brutal 2,333 PS! Weighing 2,090 kg, its ratio stands at 0.89 kg/PS. It dashes to 100 km/h in just 1.9 seconds and maxes out at 400 km/h (249 mph), thanks to its twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 and hybrid Dark Matter E-motor.
7. Czinger 21C – Crafted Innovation from the U.S.
The Czinger 21C blends cutting-edge hybrid tech with impressive numbers. It weighs just 1,240 kg and outputs 1,368 PS, giving it a 0.90 kg/PS ratio. Going from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.9 seconds, it reaches 452 km/h (280 mph), all powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 and front-wheel electric motors.
8. Lotus Evija – A Bold Leap into Electric Speed
Lotus goes full electric with the Evija, pushing 2,039 PS while weighing 1,887 kg. With a ratio of 0.92 kg/PS, it accelerates to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds. Four electric motors—one for each wheel—deliver power smoothly, supported by a 70 kWh battery pack and a top speed limited to 349 km/h (217 mph).
9. Koenigsegg CC850 – A Stylish Powerhouse
Bringing a retro-modern flair, the Koenigsegg CC850 balances power (1,385 PS) and weight (1,385 kg) perfectly for a 1.00 kg/PS ratio. With a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and the signature Light Speed Transmission, it speeds past 480 km/h (300 mph) and hits 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. It even comes with a true gated manual gear option!
10. Aspark Owl – Japan’s Electric Lightning
Last but not least, Japan’s Aspark Owl. It reaches a stunning 2,012 PS while weighing 2,000 kg—giving it a 1.01 kg/PS ratio. With four electric motors delivering 1,920 Nm torque, it zooms to 100 km/h in just 1.91 seconds and tops out at 413 km/h (257 mph). It’s fast, futuristic, and seriously powerful.
The Future of Speed Is Here
Looking through this list, we realize that supercars aren’t just about raw speed anymore—they’re a blend of advanced engineering, electric innovation, and sleek design. Whether it’s a hybrid, full-electric, or turbocharged monster, each one proves that the power-to-weight ratio remains the ultimate benchmark.
So, Lykkers, which of these supercars would you dare to drive? Are you into the thunder of combustion engines or the silent fury of electric motors? Let’s chat—we’re all in for the ride of the future.
