The Most Powerful Car of Every Year

**The Most Powerful Cars of Every Year Since 1900**

Welcome to The D-List, I'm your host James, and today we're going to explore the production cars with the most horsepower of every year since 1900. Why? I don't know, but it's just how my brain works, and if you clicked on this video, then you're different too - congratulations, welcome to the club.

We've featured some of the coolest cars on this channel before, and one of them is going to be on this list. It's one of the coolest cars ever made, and we're excited to announce that our sponsor for this video is Omaze, who reached out to us with an offer we couldn't refuse - a Dodge Demon, one of the most powerful cars on the market.

The Dodge Demon has 840 horsepower of pure Detroit muscle. It's not just about the muscles, though; it's what's inside you that counts. I love to party, I love fun, and I don't pay taxes - what a coincidence! Whoever wins this car won't have to worry about paying any taxes either.

All fees, including taxes and shipping, are included, plus $20,000 cash prize. If you hang out with me, I've got this pigeon - just kidding, throw that away, Doug, and head over to Omaze.com/donutmedia to enter for your chance to win today. Every donation you make supports the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, an amazing place.

Now, let's get into it. Our list only includes cars that have been made and sold by manufacturers multiple times - no race cars, land speed record cars, or weird rocket sleds. We'll start with 1900, the Daimler Phoenix, which had a mere 23 horsepower. It was actually the first car to have a front engine setup - a really good milestone for every fast car henceforth.

Moving on to 1901, we have the Mercedes 35, which boy had 35 horsepower. Then there's the Mercedes Simplex of 1902, with 44 horsepower - this was a ton of horsepower and Mercedes won a bunch of races with this car. The Mercedes Simplex remained in production from 1903 through 1906, introducing the world to a new segment of cars, the saloon, which was as big as a freaking saloon!

In 1907, we have the Hispano-Suiza 75, another Spanish car with a big honker engine - an 11 liter six-cylinder Hawker. Then there's the Napier Type K5 in 1908 and again in 1909, both of which had 80 horsepower. The Isotta Fraschini Tipo KM of 1910 was the first car to break the hundred horsepower barrier.

It did it by a pretty good amount - this is how much horsepower compared to the job's Miata makes right now, pre-turbo, he's currently putting a turbo on it, check out money pit to learn more about that. Isotta held onto the record in 1911 and again in 1912, with the Mercedes-Benz 82/200 slant six touring car, which had 200 horsepower - this was the first car to break the 200 horsepower barrier.

Mercedes came along and said, "You know what? We're not going to let you have all that power!" And so, our list continues from here. Stay tuned!

madeand sold by manufacturers multiple times.So we're not includingrace cars or land speedrecord cars or weird rocket sleds.And I know that therewere cars before 1900but this just seemed like anice round place to start.So with that out of theway, let's get into it.1900, the Daimler Phoenix, 23 horsepower.This was actually the first car to havea front engine setup.So it's a really good milestonefor every fast car henceforth.1901 Mercedes 35, thatboy had 35 horsepower1902 Mercedes Simplex with 44 horsepower.Now in 1902, this was a ton of horsepowersand Mercedes won a bunchof races with this car1903 through 1906, MercedesSimplex, 60 60 horsepower.This upgraded version of thesimplex introduced the worldto a new segment of cars,the saloon, and it was as bigas a fricking saloonthing was fricking huge.1907, Hispano-Suiza 75.It had you guessed it.75 horsepower.This big honker was a Spanish car that hada big honker engine in it.An 11 liter six cylinderHawker to be specific.1908, Napier Type K5 80 horsepowers.1909 Napier K5, again.1910 Isotta FraschiniTipo KM, 120 horsepower.The isotta FraschiniTipo KM was the first carto break a hundred horsepower.And it did it by a pretty good amount.This is how much horsepowerjob's Miata makes right nowin 2020 pre turbo, he'scurrently putting a turbo on it.Check out money pit tolearn more about that.Isotta held onto the recordin 1911 and in 1912, Ooh, sorry, Issota.It's the Mercedes-Benz 82slash 200 snutso touringand had 200 horsepower.And this was the first car to break.The 200 horsepower barrier.Mercedes came alongand said, "A hundredhorsepower's cool, but you knowwhat's cooler a billion horsepower."But you know what we can actuallymake, too 200 horsepower.How they do it with a 21 liter engine.Now that is obviously way too many litersfor any mere mortal to handle.So they only made this car for one year.So the next few cars go backdown into the one hundreds,1913 Pierce-Arrow Model,66-A, 140 horsepower.1914 American LafranceRoadster, 105 horsepower.You may know American Lefrancefor the old timey fire engines they madeor maybe you don't payattention to that kind of stuffbecause you got betterways to spend your time.You think you're better than me?Either way, this thing wasable to make this much powerbecause of a 14.7 liter engine,105 screaming horsepowersfrom only 15 liters?Impressive.1915 FRP Series B 170 horsepower.1916 FRP Series B again.1917 I guess they stoppedmaking the FRP that yearbecause in 1917, the title goes backto Pierce-Arrow with the model 66 A4.Damn Pierce-Arrow, back at it againwith the fresh whitevans and 140 horsepower.I'm 35 years old, (laughing)1918 Voisin C1, 150 horsepower1919 Voisin C1, the mosthorsepower battle again.Mercedes-Benz Chitty Chittybang bang, 230 horsepower.You know that movie "Chitty,Chitty, bang, bang"?No.You don't remember that moviefrom a hundred years ago?Well, that was a movie with people in it.And that movie was named after this carand they actually only made one of these.So I am technically breaking the rulesbut I think that it's a funny name.And to me, funny Trump'srules any day of the week.It's why almost didn'tgraduate high school.1921, Hispano Suiza H6B.Hi, I'm the Hispano Suiza at eight six B.I have 135 horsepower,1922 Oh, Hey, it's me again?The Hispano Suiza H6B Istill have 135 horsepower.1923 Oh, hi me again.Hispano Suiza H6B.I know you guys are probablygetting like so sickof me by now.I'm just gonna go.I'm gonna leave.1924, Oh my God.I'm so annoying.Sorry, it's me, TheHispano suiza H6B again,I went to leave but I realizedI just forgot my keys.I'm for real, this time I am gone.1925, Mercedes Benz 630K 170 horsepower,1926 Bugatti Type 38A 140 horsepower.This car was like theBugatti of the 1920s.I always thought it would be a harder flexto be like, "I woke up in an old bugatti."'Cause they sell forlike 30 million dollars.1927, Bentley Speed Six, 180 horsepower.After only a few years of building cars.Bentley came out withthe six and a half literinline six powered speed,six that's a lot of sixes.The engine was advanced for the timewith two high performance carvesand overhead cam andfour valves per cylinder.The entire iron blockengine was cast in one piecewhich means it didn't need a head gasket.So if you see one of theseon Craigslist that saysblown head gasket, you knowthat that guy is dumped.1928 Duesenberg Model J 265 horsepower.You ever heard someone describesomething a big or obtrusivewith that's a doozie?Well, that actually comesfrom Duesenberg and it'sfor good reason.These cars are massive andthey're also very eccentricand they held onto the mostpower for almost a decade1929 doozie model J, 1930 doozie model J1931 doozie model J1932 doozie model J1933 doozie model J1934 doozie model J1935 doozie model SSJ400 Horsepower.This is an upgraded modelJ with a shorter wheelbase and it held the titlefor the next two years.1936 doozie model SSJ,1937 doozie model SSJ.1938 the Phantom coresair,190 sweet horsepowers.1939 the Delahaye type 165,245 horsepowers,1940 Duesenberg model SJ againwith 320 horsepowers.1941, Mercedes Benz, 77K 230 horsepowers.Another supercharged inlineeight cylinder engine.This one will hold the recordfor the next four yearsuntil they stopped making itin 1945 because Germany lost world war II.We brought the mosthorsepower trophy back hometo America in 1946 and 1947with the Packard clippereight, with 165 horsepower.Then in 1949, it goesto the Norman Timbs specialwith 180 horsepower.This thing is sick.1949 and 1950, the TalbotLago T26 grand sport194 horsepowers1951, Cunningham C2, 250 horsepowers.1952 the Allard JR.Named after his fatherAllard SR, 300 horsepowers.1953, the first of veryfew ferraris on this listsurprisingly or not, theFerrari 342 America special.Oh my God Ferrari, younamed the most powerful carin the world after America,but you're Italian.You're so obsessed with us.300 horsepower wow.1954 Siata 200 CS.The CS stands for 300 horsepower,.1955, Ferrari 410 super America.Oh my God Ferrari stop.What are we doing?I mean, it's 380 horsepower.(laughing)1956 Chrysler 300 B specialwith 355 Detroit horsepowers.1957 Maserati 450SCostin-Zacato 400 horsepower.I didn't even know Eric Costin made cars,1958 the Mercury Monterey 400 horsepower.Hey, what's a Pirate's favorite car?A 1959 Kellison J-4R 397 horsepower.1960, Chrysler 300F, 400 horsepower.All right, guys, we're halfway done.1965 Ford FairlaneThunderbolt 425 horsepowers.The Fairlane Thunderbolt is kind of liketoday's Dodge Demon.It was only made in 1964 andit was very closely basedon an experimental drag racing car.Ford fans liked the drag carso much that Ford actuallymade 100 road going variants of it.One of these things is currentlyfor sale for over $330,000.1965, Shelby Cobra, 427competition, 485 horsepowers.Shelby Cobras are one ofthe coolest cars ever made.And this one is potentiallythe coolest only 23 were madeand they were specificallybuilt to be a road legal carthat could beat Ferrarion the track in Europe.I think that is hilarious and awesome.It was designed by CarrollShelby and Ken Miles themselvesthat even though it wasonly made for about a yearthe 427 competition heldthe horsepower world recorduntil 1984.And by the way, this isthe last time you're gonnasee an American car on thislist for quite some time becauseof a little thing called the gas crisis.So soak it in,enjoy it.Be grateful for it.Take a little breathand visit donutmedia.comto buy yourself an oil crisis T-shirt.(James bleching and laughing)1966 and 1967, LamborghiniMiura P400 345 horsepower.In 1968, Lamborghini bumpedup the Miura to 265 horsepowerwith the P400S and thenthey did it again in 1971with the Miura SV holding the titlewith 380 horsepowers until 1974.When her little brother,the Countach LP400 was born,kicked her off the thronewith 370 horsepowers.That must be a male.And what an heir it was.Different versions of the Countachdominated the horsepower Warsfor the next decade.From 1978 to 1981, it was theLamborghini Countach LP400Swith 350 horsepowers.82 to 83, Lamborghini Countach LP5,000Swith 375 horseepowers.1984 and 1985, theLamborghini machine CountachLP5000 digigy QV with ablistering 455 horsepowers.And then in 1986, Fordmade 200 RS 200 evolutions.The RS 200 Evo was a highperformance, no holds barredlight your ass on fire, anddon't even call you back versionof the road, legal homologation car.This little rock tumbler pushed 500, again580 horsepowers to all four wheels.And is one of the cutestcars on this list.I mean, look at that littleface squeezed and little cheeks.From 1987 and 1989 and themost powerful car in the worldwas the wickedly talented,Ferrari F40 with 477 sassy,Italian, covalo, energy,not only was the mostpowerful car in the worldbut it was also thefastest car in the world.The F40 could go 201 miles per hour.It was built to be as closeto a race car as Ferrari could getwhile still being ableto drive on the road.And in the words of George Walker Bush,"Mission accomplished"Lauren Michaels hit me up, bro.I know you fired me onetime, but I've changed.I've grown.Apparently Lamborghinididn't like Ferrari being on top.So in 1990, they released the Diablowith 510 equally Italian Hersey Persians.1991, the title stayed in Italybut this time it slept in Bugatti's room.The EB 110 had 553 horsepower.They made it to celebrate aTorrey Bugatti's 110th birthdayHappy birthday Bugatti.In 1991, McLaren released theF1, which had 618 horsepower.It was the most powerful car in the worldfor three years until McLarengave it more power baby,in 1995 with the F1 LMwhich had a cool 671 horsepowers.1996, went back to Lamborghiniwith the Diablo SV and 510 horsepowers.1997 the only Porsche on the listthe Porsche 911 GT1 StraBenversion.This has got 544 horsepower.And I do believethat Magnus Walker has about 11 of them.In 1998, Toyota waslike, "Oh, dang Porsche,you guys got a GT one.So do we, how manyhorsepowers does yours have?Oh, this is embarrassing.Ours has 600."The Toyota GT onespelt out one is one of themost extreme cars ever made.And it was a homologation carfor the GT one race category at Lamar.One of the requirementsfor a homologated carat Lamar is to have enough storageto fit a standard suitcase.Now, Toyota didn't wanna do that.So they said if the fuel tank is emptythen it's big enough to fit a suitcase.And it worked.The only other requirement wasthat they had to makea production version.So they did.They made two.That is technically multiple.So I did not break the rules.It still counts.They only made this car for one year.So this next year, therecord goes down again.♪ The year 2000 ♪Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 550 horsepowers.2001 LamborghiniMurcielago 577 horsepower.Lamborghini has a habitof having the most horsepower in a carand then introducing a newcar with even more horsepower.2001 to 2003 goes to the Koenigsegg CC8S.Koenigsegg came out of the gate,super strong with a 655 horsepowerstwin turbo V8 in a carbonfiber midogen set up.This thing is a fricking monsterand you can go up to 240 miles per hourbut I guess that wasn't enough.So in 2004, they came outwith the Koenigsegg CCRwith 806 horsepower.CCR I assume is in Amash toCreedence Clearwater revivalChristian Von favorite band.The 2005 Bugatti Veyron is oneof the most iconic cars on this list.It was the first car to breakthe 250 mile per hour margin.And it did so in absolute luxuryit had 987 horsepowerwhen it was launched,it had 10 radiators and at top speed,could drive the heightof the statue of Liberty every second,which is a common test.So many people die everyyear doing this test.Can we please stop it?It costs so much taxpayer moneyso many drivers and onlookers die.Why do we do it?Because it's there, it's inside of us.We have to drive up the statue of Libertyand see how many timesyou can do it in a second.We have to, we're human,it's in our nature.Bugatti held the recordthrough 2006 and in 2007the SCC Ultimo came alongand finally broke throughthe 1000 horsepower record.102 years after the 100horsepower barrier was brokenwhich is pretty good because before thatthey didn't even fricking have cars.2007, 2008 SSC UltimoAero TT first-generation1,180 horsepower.2009 to 2012 SSC Ultimo Aero TTNow that's the second Genand it had 1,287 horsepower.And in 2013 in honor of the yearSSC added 13 horsepowermade the SSC Ultimo Aero, XTand it had 1300 horsepower,Whoa, 13, 13, 13, 39.2014 Koenigsegg one:1, 1,341 horsepower.2015 to 2017 KoenigseggRegera 1500 horsepower.Then they stopped making it.In 2018, we had the Dodge Demon,one of the coolest cars ever madethat I've ever experienced.I've driven a lot of stuff.The Dodge Demon, 840 horsepower.You might be saying, JamesI saw a video of the Devil 16,that makes 5,000 horsepower.Well, guess what?This is my list.And the Devil 16 is probably vaporware.And it's definitely nota production car yet.And Dodge actually made a bunchof these that you couldbuy in a dealershipand you didn't have to likeknow a Prince or anything.So Dodge Demon also you could win oneby going to omaze.com/donutmediaor click the link inthe description below.2019, Bugatti Centodieci,

Koenigsegg's dadJesko and his favoritemoderately priced vodka, Absolut.This car makes stupid powerand can theoreticallyhit 270 miles per hourwhich is faster thananyone really needs to go.You know, you don't need to go that fast.In the past 15 years alonetop horsepower figures have doubledin 2021 there's cars comingout that are claiming thousandsof horsepower and things areonly gonna keep getting
