“With great power…”
There’s nothing like the feeling of being in your car and knowing that you are at the wheel of an incredible machine. Few cars in the world can boast a number of over 1,000 horsepower, a number that would put your vehicle among the most powerful in the world, but as engineering progresses and the competitive nature of automotive performance intensifies, more cars than ever have achieved the magic number, and they are becoming more accessible than they’ve ever been.
What’s more interesting is the fact that different manufacturers have come up with varying approaches to reaching 1,000 horsepower. Whether you prefer a car that is supercharged, turbocharged, paired with a hybrid system, or even all-electric, manufacturers around the world have figured out ways to squeeze incredible amounts of horsepower out of all kinds of powertrains. The cars below are all members of the exclusive 1,000-horsepower club, and as far as finding out which one is the best, all you have to do is get your hands on one and take to the track.
