CEOs of the three world’s fastest cars on a track test

What happens when you put the creators of the three world’s fastest cars behind the wheel of each other’s cars? Top Gear tried to answer this question when it invited Christian von Koenigsegg, Mate Rimac and John Hennessey to Sonoma Raceway.

On its official YouTube profile, Top Gear posted a video showing four cars with a total of 6,800 hp. Christian von Koenigsegg came with Jesko Attack, Mate Rimac with Nevera, while John Hennessey came with Venom F5 Revolution.

Christian von Koenigsegg took the opportunity to drive the Venom F5 and the Nevera, and after a test drive he was really impressed with the Rimac Nevera. This car particularly delighted him and it can be said that he was quickly hooked on it.

Hennessey tested the Jesko Attack and was pleased with what the car performed saying it was raw, yet refined. He praised the engine and said that the feel was quite scary with the traction control system reduced.

Rimac tested the Venom F5 Revolution and pushed it to the limit. He also drove the Jesko Attack and compared its twin-turbo V8 engine to a motorcycle engine. In the end, Rimac gave Christian von Koenigsegg a ride in the Nevera and gave him some information about the car, but also showed that the Nevera is capable of setting the tires on fire.

Toyota and Subaru are developing a new all-electric SUV

Toyota and Subaru have previously worked together on the development of electric cars such as the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra, and now the two Japanese companies are working on a new car. It is an SUV car that will go into production at the beginning of 2026.

The car will be built from existing components to speed up the process, which means it won’t be starting from scratch. The plan is for the new SUV to be sold in North America, Europe and Japan, but it could also be sold in other markets. How much it will cost is not yet known.

According to Nikkei Asia, the new SUV will be produced at Subaru’s Yajima plant, with a monthly production of 15,000 to 20,000 cars.

It should be noted that this is not the only joint project of these two companies. They are currently working on three new electric crossovers that should hit the market in the second half of 2025. Also, they didn’t give up on gasoline engines. Last month they announced plans for new and improved internal combustion engines.

2025 McLaren W1 Limited Edition

Recently, McLaren unveiled its new super sports car, the McLaren W1. It is a super powerful successor to the F1 and McLaren P1 supercars.

McLaren W1 is the British brand’s most powerful car powered by a new 4-liter biturbo engine (MPH-8) with 929 hp (683 kW) at 9,200 rpm combined with an electric motor with a power of 347 hp (255 kW). Total power is 1,276 hp (938 kW) and 988 lb-ft (1,340 Nm) of torque, which is enough to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 350 km /h (217 mph). Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission with an electronic differential lock.

The car is equipped with an adaptive suspension with three work programs (Comfort, Sport and Race) that provide unforgettable fun, adaptive body components with which the level of grip can be changed. The McLaren W1 weighs 1,399 kg, which means that it is only 4 kg heavier than the P1 model, and thanks to the high-capacity carbon-ceramic brakes, it only takes 29 meters to stop from 100 km/h.

McLaren will produce only 399 units of this supercar, and each car costs 1.95 million euros. All cars are already reserved.
