According to their data, Lamborghini recorded its best sales results ever in 2021, with 8,405 cars delivered worldwide. However, there are some reasons behind car lovers consider finding better alternatives in terms of speed and performance. Lamborghini’s cars are notorious for being difficult to drive and maintain. If you’re not an experienced driver, or if you don’t have access to the best mechanics, you’ll likely have a lot of trouble keeping your Lamborghini on the road, let alone cars that are faster.
The classy cars are also very expensive. If you’re not prepared to spend a lot of money on repairs and upkeep, you might want to entertain another option. These cars are also rare in some parts of the world. If you’re looking for a unique car that will turn heads but doesn’t come from this brand, we can help. These are 14 cars faster than Lamborghini.
1. Bugatti Chiron
Although Bugatti is a brand that comes to mind first for fast drivers, Chiron is not the only car in its lineup that outperforms a Lamborghini. It tops out at 304.77 miles per hour. Compared to Lamborghini Aventador, it has a massive 15,00 horsepower engine. This car is one of the unique and exclusive models, with only 500 ever made.
Chiron is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, producing 1,479 hp (1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 N⋅m) of torque. Its regular top speed is 261 mph and the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. It’s based on the same carbon fiber monocoque but uses a new chassis with an improved suspension, brakes, and tires.
2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport special edition of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It was named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti company. The winning car was a Type 57C Tank, and it had an average speed of 74 mph at that race.
The SuperSport version of the Veyron is the fastest street-legal production car globally, with a top speed of 267.856 mph.
3. 9FF GT9-R

The GT9-R is powered by a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine and features an adjustable rear wing for added downforce. Taking one that’s already quick and improving on it is one way to make a superfast vehicle.
On the outside, the GT9-R looks like a million dollars. However, you may be in for a rough ride on the inside with all the creature comforts removed.
4. Koenigsegg CCX
This automobile company designs and builds hyper-fast, hyper-costly speed machines. Koenigsegg CCX can reach 245 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds. Expect to pay a premium for all this velocity, since their supercars are among the costliest in the world. They start at around $1.6 million and can cost up to $4 million.
Further, Koenigsegg Regera is the first-ever completely robotized automobile. It features a fully retractable active rear wing, but it also automatically opens all body panels at the press of a button through a Koenigsegg technology known as Autoskin.
5. McLaren 720S
McLaren 720S is one of the latest supercars to enter the market. It’s also one of the quickest, with a top speed of 212 mph and a 0-to-60 time of 2.8 seconds. The 720S model is a significant departure from McLaren’s previous offerings in terms of design.
It features a new “butterfly” door that opens both up and out, providing easier access to the cabin. Therefore, if you are looking for a stylish and well-performing car, the McLaren 720S should be on your list.
6. Porsche 918 Spyder
Porsche 918 Spyder is a hybrid supercar manufactured by German automaker Porsche from 2013 to 2015. This model has a 0-60 time of 2.2 seconds and a top speed of 214 mph. It is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 engine and two electric motors.

11. Rimac Nevera
Rimac Nevera is one of the few electric cars that is faster than a Lamborghini. Although electric cars offer instant acceleration all thanks to the torque generated through electric motors, the batteries can circumvent it due to their weight. However, that is not the case for Rimac Nevera.
The car comes with four electric motors that are capable of outputting almost 1900 horsepower, which equates to 2300 Nm of torque. Thus, the car can reach a top speed of 258 mph. The car body, which is mostly carbon fiber, also makes it much lighter, which further helps the speed.
12. Pagani Huayra
Pagani Huayra is yet another supercar that is much faster than a typical Lamborghini. The car is made with exquisite care, with enough attention to detail. It houses an AMG derived twin-turbocharged V12 engine, outputting 730 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque, allowing the car to reach a max speed of 238 mph.

When it comes to supercars that might actually triumph over a Lamborghini, how could we forget Ferrari? The Ferrari Enzo, which made our list, is a 6-liter V12 engine powerhouse with over 650 hp. There were only 399 Enzo made for sale. Later on, they did build another one, but it was donated to charity.
