A milestone once considered impossible, a 1000-hp output is now the yardstick for every true modern hypercar.
If money were no object, what would you do? Buy a mansion in the South of France or the Italian Riviera? Get a superyacht like Jeff Bezos? Or perhaps a private jet like Taylor Swift? How about cars? Would you spend insane amounts of money on supercars?
If the answer to the last question is “Yes,” you probably would select one of the best and fastest cars in the world. How about a supercar that has more than 1,000 horsepower? What would you do with it? Where would you drive it?
The reality is that most of us will never get to own a superyacht, private jet, mega mansion, or hypercar, but that doesn’t mean we can’t dream of owning them. So, keep on reading to find out which supercars have made the cut on our list of incredible automobiles that have more than 1,000 horsepower.
Panopoulos Chaos Ultracar – 3,064 HP
If you have $14.4 million to spare, you can buy the Spyros Panopoulos Chaos Ultracar aka S.P. Chaos Ultracar, which according to the Greek automaker who has manufactured this hypercar can reach the maximum power of 2,048 horsepower (1527.7 kW) for the Chaos Earth trim and a staggering 3,064 horsepower for the Chaos Zero Gravity version. You read that right, Zero Gravity tops 3,000 horsepower! And if that wasn’t impressive enough, Zero Gravity reaches the top speed of 310 miles per hour and speeds up from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 1.55 seconds. Meanwhile, the quarter mile time is 7.5 seconds. In case you’re wondering, founder Spyros Panopoulos told CarScoops that the Chaos will be street-legal.

This 2,000-horsepower hyper-luxury SUV speeds up from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 miles per hour.

Back in 2019, Robb Report announced that Aspark Owl became the fastest street-legal EV on the planet. The four ultra-powerful electric motors generate a combined 1,980 horsepower.

It also speeds up from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 1.97 seconds and reaches the top speed of 256 miles per hour.

5 Automobili Pininfarina Battista – 1,900 HP
Leave it to the Italians to design spectacular cars that are also incredible beasts on the road. The name Pininfarina is associated with some of the most incredible production cars, prototypes, and customs automobiles, including the commercially successful Peugeot 403, the elegant Fiat 1500 cabriolet, the Ferrari 512 S, and the Ferrari 308 GTB.

The twin-turbo 6.6-liter V-8 engine of the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution produces 1,817 horsepower. At a staggering $2.7 million, this track-focused but street-legal car is incredibly expensive. But, since the manufacturer only produces 24 units, there aren’t many chances that you’ll see someone else on the road with a vehicle that looks just like yours.
3 Koenigsegg Gemera – 1,700 HP
“The Gemera combines the exciting performance characteristics of a mid-engine two-seater megacar with the practicalities of a four-seater car with more luggage space,” says Koenigsegg. “This ground-breaking combination means that the Koenigsegg megacar experience can now be shared with family and friends.”
Being able to drive a supercar that is both cozy and roomy is undoubtedly a plus, and yet, this is now the ultimate selling point for the Koenigsegg Gemera. One of the most impressive aspects is that it generates 1,700 horsepower and 2,581 lb-ft of torque.
