We have brought together the most powerful cars in Geneva in a single article. They all have 1000 hp or more.
Imagine that you won or EuroMillions. From this restricted club you could only choose one. Which was? There is something for everyone. Hybrid, electric and just like a combustion engine. The choice is not easy...Apollo Arrow – 1000hp
The Apollo Arrow's business card is even the 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which according to the brand, delivers an impressive 1000 hp of power and 1000 Nm of torque. The engine communicates with the rear wheels through a 7-speed sequential transmission.
The benefits are mind-boggling: from 0 to 100km/h in 2.9 seconds and from 0 to 200km/h in 8.8 seconds. As for the top speed, 360 km/h may not be enough to reach the coveted title of “fastest car on the planet”, but it is still impressive.
Techrules AT96 – 1044hp
The new model from this Chinese brand has 6 electric motors – two at the rear and one at each wheel – which in total produce 1044 hp and 8640 Nm – yes, you read that well. The sprint from 0 to 100km/h is completed in a dizzying 2.5 seconds, while the top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h.
Thanks to a micro turbine capable of reaching 96,000 revolutions per minute and producing up to 36 kilowatts, it is possible to charge almost instantly the batteries that power the electric motors, whether in motion or when the vehicle is stationary. In practice, this technology translates into a range of 2000 km.
Problem? Some say that the brand has not yet found a solution for the transmission of power from the engines to the wheels. Anyway, a “little” detail.

Rimac Concept_One – 1103hp
The Concept_One uses two electric motors powered by a lithium-ion battery pack with 82kWh of power. The 0-100km/h exercise is completed in 2.6 seconds and 14.2 seconds up to 300km/h. At maximum speed, the super sports car reaches 355km/h.

Quant FE - 1105hp
1105hp and 2,900Nm of torque are the main values that define the FE Quant. Despite weighing more than two tons, the super sports car reaches 100km/h in just 3 seconds and the top speed is 300km/h. The autonomy of the Quant FE model is 800km.
Zenvo ST1 – 1119hp
This sports car was unveiled in Geneva with a powerful 6.8-litre V8 engine capable of delivering 1119hp and 1430Nm of maximum torque, transferred to all wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It weighs 1590kg and needs just 3 seconds to reach 100km/h. Maximum speed? 375km/h.
Koenigsegg Agera Final – 1360hp
Equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine, the Koenigsegg Agera Final approached the One:1 in terms of performance: 1360hp and 1371Nm of torque. This unit (image above) is one of three available for sale. It beats all previous models for the superb engineering details and construction techniques employed.
It's not just an engineering exercise, it's a work of art on wheels.
Rimac Concept_s – 1369hp
The Rimac Concept_s releases 1369hp and 1800Nm with a simple “step” on the right pedal. This model is capable of crossing 0-100km/h in just 2.5 seconds and 200km/h in 5.6 seconds – faster than the Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Regera. The 300km/h? In a measly 13.1 seconds. However, the top speed is limited to 365km/h. As if it were little…
Bugatti Chiron – 1500hp
The numbers are once again impressive for their magnitude. Chiron's 8.0 liter W16 quad-turbo engine develops 1500hp and 1600Nm of maximum torque. The maximum speed follows the power generated by the engine: 420km/h electronically limited. The Bugatti Chiron's 0-100km/h acceleration is accomplished in a scant 2.5 seconds.
A car that is unrivaled when it comes to refinement. It reproduces in the century. XXI all the opulence, refinement and extravagance that we can only find in the most exotic models of the 30s.

Koenigsegg Regera – 1500hp
It was one of the most anticipated models of the Swiss event, and it can be said that it did not disappoint. In terms of engines, the super sports car has a 5.0 liter bi-turbo V8 engine, which together with three electric engines delivers 1500 hp and 2000 Nm of torque. All this power results in stunning performance: accelerations from 0 to 100 km/h are accomplished in a scant 2.8 seconds, from 0 to 200km/h in 6.6 seconds and from 0 to 400 km/h in 20 seconds. Recovery from 150km/h to 250km/h takes just 3.9 seconds!
Arash AF10 – 2108hp
The Arash AF10 is equipped with a 6.2 liter V8 engine (912hp and 1200Nm) and four electric motors (1196hp and 1080Nm) that together generate a combined power of 2108hp and 2280Nm of torque. The electric motors present in the Arash AF10 are powered by lithium-ion batteries with a nominal capacity of 32 kWh.
By adding its powerful engine to a chassis entirely built in carbon fiber, the Arash AF10 achieves acceleration from 0-100km/h in a quick 2.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of “only” 323km/h – a number that is not impressive, compared to the power of the engines. Perhaps the model that disappointed the most.
