Holy trinity, the cars every car enthusiast knows of, they
are the legendary Porsche 918, McLaren P1 and the Ferrari La-Ferrari. But to be
correct they WERE the holy trinity, the new era of super cars that were released
in the recent past like the McLaren 720s have destroyed these hyper cars by
pulling insane numbers on the track, 720s defeated the 918 in a drag race and
911 GT2rs destroyed the lap record of 918 and La Ferrari on the Nurburgring. No question about the fact that 720s is faster than a P1(they are lying about the 720s' peak performance)
And it is not possible to imagine how fast the new hyper
cars are going to be, and with all this a few new hyper cars were announced
this year, some of them are:
APOLLO IE:
This is a fairly new company that has been making super cars since
2004. Even though these guys were working on a small budget earlier, looks like
now they have some backing. The new Apollo IE, took people by surprise when it
was unveiled at the Dubai Motor Show. The car looks insanely hyper and makes
similar claims about the performance and numbers it is capable of pulling on
the track. And only 10 of them will be made.

It was recently seen testing on streets in Hong Kong and it sounds amazing. Listen to the sound in the video below.
Hennessey F5:
Hennessey the tuning company showcased its own hyper car the
new Venom F5, and this one looks more beautiful than anything available in the
market! The last version of the F5, wasn’t good looking as it was based on a
lotus chassis but this one is completely redesigned and re-engineered and claims
to be faster than a Chiron, it claims to achieve speed more than 300mph !
And here we go, THIS IS WHAT I HATE, making claims and NOT
delivering on promises. Bugatti with all the funds and technological backing
they have, including the partnership with Michelin, developed a special tyre
for Chiron after hours of research and testing, and Chiron cannot go more than
261mph!

Because it’s scientifically not possible! At that speed
the tyre temperature and pressure is so high that it will burst, this is the reason
that Bugatti has electronically limited the top speed to 261mph. Even though Koenigsegg proved them wrong( Did they really beat the Chiron? )
Either this is a false claim from Hennessey or they do have
some trick to make that technology work. We will see the results when the car
is delivered.
Along with these we have the
I have talked about these cars, in my previous posts, you can
check them out by clicking the links.
Will these cars be the new "Holy Trinity" or they will fail to deliver on claims, only time will tell...
