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. Rows without a “Specs” link take the figure of the generation. How we collect and check data

Ranked: 9 of 1,149 models in the 1CARS catalog have a figure for this list.

Not ranked: Lamborghini Egoista (441 kW) — one-off. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars stay out of the ranking; limited-run models are marked.

Questions and answers

Which V10 car has the most power in the 1CARS catalog?

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.
