Powerful cars can attract anyone and these days, cars that can generate as much as 400 horsepower are a dime a dozen. The thing is getting a plus-400 car is not easy to come by especially if you’re also looking for some convenience behind all that power. Here’s a look at the best plus-400 hp cars and the reasons why they’re in this list.
10. Chevrolet Corvette
HP Rating: 430
At 47000 US dollars, the Chevrolet Corvette is a nice pick-up for a car that can generate as much as 430 horsepower from its 6.2 liter LS38 V8 engine. The thing about the Corvette is that it’s not only strong but stylish as well. Apart from that, it can catapult itself from 0-60 mph in only 4.3 seconds. The Corvette has been around for quite sometime and because all of its traits, it managed to get into this post at the number 10 spot.
9.Jaguar XF Supercharged
HP Rating: 420
So why is the Supercharged ranked higher than the Corvette? Read on. The Jaguar XF Supercharged can muster at least 420 horsepower and although it’s more expensive than Corvette, the Supercharged is better designed and styled with more creature comforts to boot. The great thing about this car is that it has amazing breaks to compensate for its blinding speed and that’s one of the many reasons why it broke the list at no.9.
8.Maserati GranTurismo S
HP Rating: 433
Italian cars are definitely legendary and one car that has been one of the best is the fierce-looking Maserati GranTurismo S. This car has a monstrous 4.2 liter V8 engine while the whole thing costs around 135000 US dollars. Yes I know, the car isn’t cheap but if you think about its specs, you’ll realize that it has everything that an Italian car should have. The Maserati Gran Turismo S can reach a full speed of up to 183 mph while accelerating in only 4.2 seconds from 0-60 mph.
7.Aston Martin V8 Vantage
HP Rating: 420
The Vantage already has an impressive 4.7 liter V8 engine that can produce as much as 420 horsepower. At 120000 US dollars, the Aston Martin V8 engine lets you feel like you’re James Bond while muscling your way on the road armed with all the power from under its hood. This car might not be as strong as the Maserati GranTurismo nor the Chevrolet Corvette, but it has all the great features inside and out to enter this post at no. 7.
6.Porsche 911 GT3 RS
HP Rating: 415
There are many Porsche models that are even faster and stronger than this one. However, the GT3 RS has a lot of tricks under its sleeves that any driver can surely appreciate. One of which is its acceleration from 0-60 mph that it can traverse in 3.8 seconds. Yes, you’ve read that right, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS can reach 60 miles in only 3.8 seconds and that’s acceleration at its best.
5.Dodge Challenger SRT8
HP Rating: 425
The Dodge Challenger may not look like a lot but it’s unbelievable how an ordinary and classic looking car can produce as much as 425 horsepower. Without a doubt, anyone who thinks that a car is all about what’s under its hood is correct when it comes to the Dodge Challenger. The car has a 6.1 liter Hemi V8 engine that can propel itself from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Yes the Dodge Challenger is certainly immensely strong but the even better thing about this car is its price. Everything that you’ve read about this car is just worth 40000 US dollars.
4.Mercedes Benz C63 AMG
HP Rating: 451
Few would ever think that a classy and stylish car such as the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG is capable of generating 451 horsepower under its hood. All that power is possible because of its mean and ferocious 6.2 liter engine that can also thrust the car from 0-60 mph in only 4.1 seconds. The thing about the C63 AMG is that it can be a slow-moving car and a road-torching monster rolled into one.
