The fastest car with the maximum top speed

While there are several cars which have estimated the top speed of more than 500 Km/Hr, only two cars have ever touched 500 Km/Hr  ̶  Bugatti Bolide and SSC Tuatara.

Between the two, SSC Tuatara has attained the highest speed of 508 Km/Hr with the help of professional race car driver Oliver Webb behind the wheel. SSC Tuatara has been called hypercar after it set the record in October 2020. It is not only the fastest car in Dubai but in the entire world.

When you drive a fast mobile, you will feel that you have acquired the superpowers of ‘The Flash’ or you can race with the ‘Batmobile’, but with “great powers come great responsibilities”. As an owner of a fast car, it is your duty to follow safety precautions while driving such as:
