The 2010 Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is the definitive high-speed evolution of the original Veyron: an 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, seven-speed twin-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive delivering 1,200 bhp. Limited to 46 offered globally and born from Bugatti’s speed-record programme, it is a collector-grade hypercar.

The 2015 Pagani Huayra is the standard two-door Huayra Coupé: a hand-built carbon-intensive hypercar powered by a mid-mounted Mercedes-AMG 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12. It is not a BC, Roadster or other special-edition title.

Bugatti’s 2021 Chiron Super Sport is the long-tail, top-speed-focused Chiron derivative: an all-wheel-drive two-seat hypercar built around a quad-turbo 8.0-litre W16 and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It is the luxury-oriented high-speed counterpart to the Pur Sport, not the distinct 30-unit Super Sport 300+.

The Chiron Pur Sport trades outright Chiron top speed for a more focused, track-honed character: shorter gearing, firmer suspension, a fixed wing and Michelin Cup 2 R tyres sharpen its response. Its quad-turbo W16 still delivers 1,479 bhp through all four wheels, while production was limited to 60 examples.

The 2024 Chiron Super Sport L’Ultime is Bugatti’s one-off farewell: the 500th and final Chiron, hand-assembled in Molsheim. Its bespoke blue Sur Mesure treatment celebrates the Chiron family’s 2016–2024 run, while the underlying long-tail Super Sport retains the quad-turbo W16 architecture tested at 1,578 bhp and 2.2 seconds to 60 mph.

Ferrari’s 2024 SF90 Stradale pairs a twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors in an all-wheel-drive plug-in-hybrid coupe. With 986 hp and a quoted 2.5-second 0–60 mph run, it is a technology-led Maranello halo car rather than the limited SF90 XX.

The 2019 McLaren Senna is a limited-production, road-legal track hypercar built around a 789-bhp twin-turbo V8, extreme active aerodynamics and a two-seat carbon-fibre cockpit. Car and Driver recorded 0–60 mph in 2.8 seconds, while McLaren positions the model first and foremost for lap-record-chasing track work.

The 2019 Bugatti Chiron is the standard, road-going expression of Bugatti’s W16 hypercar: a quad-turbo 8.0-litre 16-cylinder machine with 1,500 horsepower, all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. It combines extreme acceleration with the marque’s luxury-focused hypercar character rather than representing a named special edition.

The 2014 McLaren P1 is a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive hybrid hypercar built around a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 and electric motor. Its 903-bhp combined output reaches the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, while its carbon-intensive coupé form and track-led active aerodynamics place it among the defining hybrid hypercars of its era.

The 2018 Bugatti Chiron pairs an 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 with all-wheel drive in a two-seat coupe. In 2018 Bugatti was already hand-building the limited 500-car Chiron series; its 100th Chiron was completed and delivered that May. The base Chiron remains distinct from the Chiron Sport introduced that year.
