Although adding a turbocharger is the first option to make more power in a car, there is another solution that leads to the same result. It is difficult and time-consuming, but the result would be quite impressive, as precision engineering is real proof of the carefully tuned design.
Moreover, many automobile manufacturers have to compile with laws passed that oblige them to care about environmental issues and observe legal requirements to reduce fuel consumption and curb pollution. As such, while the use of turbochargers and superchargers can produce higher powers than conventional engines, some sports car enthusiasts still find natural breathing engines amazing and love cars with naturally aspirated engines.
Amidst a surge in stuffing cars with as much technology and turbocharged and supercharged powertrain as possible, some vehicles retain refreshingly pure natural power. Scroll down to read about the most powerful naturally aspirated cars ever. These supercars represent a combination of raw power and aesthetic features.
10 2011-2016 Ferrari FF (650 Hp)
Probably many will agree that owning a Ferrari and driving it is a profoundly individualistic experience. After all, these cars focus on their driver’s experience and usually not more than one lucky passenger.
Plainly enough, the Ferrari FF was not the first car in this class with a four-seater cabin, but it was the first to offer an all-wheel-drive grip regardless of the surface it’s being driven on, which was strange for a Ferrari. It emphasizes practicality and provides the owner with sufficient luggage space in the rear end.
9 2002-2004 Enzo Ferrari (651 Hp)
It sounds like Ferrari is determined to come up with an incredible car every decade or so, just to remind everyone of their unique Italian way of packing the latest technology and insatiable thirst for speed under one hood.
In 2002, Ferrari was supposed to release another world-beating, benchmark-setting supercar. This time the mid-engined monster that followed F50 was named after the company’s founder. The Ferrari Enzo had an all-new engine and an array of Formula One technologies to sweep fans off their feet.
8 2009-2010 Lamborghini Murcielago SuperVeloce (661 Hp)
In the final edition of Murcielago, Lamborghini used a simple formula: trying to keep things simple, it added more power, cut weight, and made it look like it could jump between dimensions.
The Murcielago SuperVeloce is thus a purer, more track-oriented interpretation of the original model. The car underwent upgrades and modifications from tip to tail, including the aerodynamics, chassis, engine, transmission, and interior. As the successor of the iconic Lamborghini Diablo, Murcielago was the first model produced after the company had been sold to Volkswagen.
7 1995 McLaren F1 LM (671 Hp)
This is arguably the car that revolutionized the supercar industry. The McLaren F1 was launched in 1992, and it was not only the first production car with a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis but also the first to bring high-tech and expensive materials under the same roof.
With a smart interior made of lightweight materials, luggage compartments, and a three-seat centralized configuration, it just looked like a Formula One car. The untamed Le Mans race car became the most expensive road-going McLaren and a highly sought-after collectible.
6 2011 Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione (730 Hp)
The Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione is an extraordinary type of Ferrari. The Evoluzione was not a car per se, but more of an upgrade package made available to those already owning the regular version 599XX.
It was unveiled in 2009, as the non-road-legal version of the Ferrari 599. It meant that it was intended to use primarily at Ferrari-run track test days. All the arrangement was part of automaker’s XX program, where their most privileged customers were offered the opportunity to participate in test days.
5 2009-2012 Aston Martin One-77 (750 Hp)
The Aston Martin One-77 is the crazy powerful and very rare masterpiece first shown in North America at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Like all of the other products of the British ultra-luxury automaker, this one is stunning in every aspect, from exterior styling to power.
They have fused advanced technology with a stunning design to create the world’s most desirable automotive art form. Only 77 units of this handcrafted aluminum-bodied car were planned for production that made this automotive art form quite rare indeed.
4 2018-Present Lamborghini Aventador SVJ (759 Hp)
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is the latest version of the company’s ex Aventador S; the two-seater, V12, upper-level series supercar. It gives its driver more power, grip, downforce, carbon fiber, and generally more of everything than the regular model.
Its top speed is 2mph lower than Aventador S, but it has a good reason since Aventador SVJ ‘s body develops 40 percent more downforce over each of its axles. It could hardly be any better, especially considering the incredible engine it has.
3 2015-2017 Ferrari F12tdf (769 Hp)
To create Ferrari F12tdf, the Italian automaker had to inject more power into the F12 Berlinetta. The project paid tribute to the legendary Tour de France automobile race and its dominant contender Maranello, for almost a decade. But it is more than that since the F12berlinetta’s bodywork has been redesigned for improved downforce.
Ferrari also went for reducing the weight by using extensive carbon-fiber and aluminum use. The Italians used modern tech to make the F12tdf one of the quickest Ferraris ever.
2 2017 Pagani Zonda Zonda HP Barchetta (789 hp)
Pagani is known for surprising everyone by its dazzling one-off creations. They came back in 2017 with another Zonda masterpiece, which at least at first glance resembled previous works by this Italian marque. But further, inspection showed its differences, for example, the cropped windshield that gave it a snugger look.
Other changes include carbon fiber modifications, as well as an inside scoop that looks a lot similar to the Zonda Cinque. The Zonda HP Barchetta has already secured its place in Pagani’s history.
1 2017-Present Ferrari 812 Superfast (789 Hp)
You can be sure that Ferrari 812 Superfast is the pinnacle of Ferrari’s road-going expertise you would always dream. Design is the work of Ferrari’s head of design Flavio Manzoni. The 812 Superfast is one of the most powerful production cars ever built by the marque. This car is made to pay homage to Ferrari’s V12 front-engine models, specifically, the 500 Superfast of 1964.
This Italian monster was unveiled to replace the speed-fast F12berlinetta. Moreover, under its bonnet rests golden naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12.
