Method and data

Each model appears once, with the highest power output of any of its versions in our catalog (or of a generation when no version has a figure). Power is given in kW first, then PS and hp. The decade is the year a version, or its generation, went on sale, so a long-lived model can appear in more than one decade. Rows without a “Specs” link take the figure of the generation. How we collect and check data

Ranked: 170 of 1,149 models in the 1CARS catalog have a figure for this list.

Not ranked: Pagani Zonda R (588 kW) - racing car. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars stay out of the ranking; limited-run models are marked.

Questions and answers

Which car of the 2000s has the most power in the 1CARS catalog?

The Bugatti Veyron (2005–2015), with 736 kW (1,001 PS · 987 hp). Second is the Koenigsegg CCR with 601 kW.

How is this ranking compiled?

Each model appears once, with the highest power output of any of its versions in our catalog (or of a generation when no version has a figure). Power is given in kW first, then PS and hp.

Why is a model missing from the list?

A model is listed only when the 1CARS catalog has a confirmed figure for it. Models without an official figure stay out instead of getting an estimate, and the list grows as we add data. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars are not ranked; limited-run models are marked.
