What is a hyper car?

What is a hyper car? 

A hyper car is a class of cars that are some of the fastest cars in the world. A super car has a top speed of around 200 miles per hour, whereas a hyper car can reach over 220 miles per hour. A hyper car is also more carefully made, making it much more expensive. Prices for a Bugatti Chiron, which is a hyper car can go for more than 3 million dollars. This is because it is a super low production and expensively developed car. Not to mention it can also reach 261 miles per hour and has almost 1500 horsepower. It has a 16 cylinder engine with 4 turbochargers. Another car, the Koenigsegg Jessore has a much smaller V8, but can still make 1300 horsepower, thanks to its twin turbocharged engine. The top speed is unknown, but Koenigsegg says it can hit close to 300 miles per hour. A hyper car is also very focused on looks. Most hyper cars have a very futuristic design and lots of exterior elements that help create downforce, save weight, or look cool. While many cannot afford hyper car, it’s still very interesting to know how they’re made.
