SP Automotive (short for Spyros Panopoulos) is a new name in the world of hypercars, but the brand's 2,000-horsepower, $6.4-million, aptly named Chaos has already made an impact. With a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V10, the base SP Automotive Chaos is one of the most expensive cars on this list - beating out many Lambos and Bugattis - but there's an even pricier version of this car that costs an eye-watering $14.4 million. That version reportedly packs 3,000 hp.

Helping the Chaos to its alleged 3,000-hp figure and 12,000 RPM is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V10 engine with some undisclosed form of hybrid assist. SP Automotive says that will propel it to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in just 1.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 310 miles per hour (499 kilometers per hour). This is the most potent version of the Chaos and costs an eye-watering $14.4 million.

Buyers looking for a more modest option, though, can select the "base" model with just 2,000 hp (1,491 kW). The less-powerful version uses a slightly detuned version of the same V10 engine, with no hybrid assist, and costs a rather inexpensive $6.4 million by comparison.

Both engines pair to the same dual-clutch transmission, while all-wheel drive also comes standard on the pair. And to assure this ultra car stops as well as it goes, SP Automotive fit the coupe with two massive rotors - 16.9-inch (428-millimeter) brake discs at the front and 16.4-inch (416-millimeter) discs at the rear, hidden behind a set of 22-inch, 3D-printed wheels.

With all that available power, SP Automotive says that it will attempt to break nearly every speed record in the book. The Chaos will try and dethrone the Porsche 911 GT2 RS's Nurburgring time (6:43:30), the SSC Tuatara's 286.1-mph top speed run, and even the Rimac Nevera's 8.58-second quarter-mile record.
