FH6 Record Breaking Cars — World Record Cars Ranked
There's something deeply satisfying about driving a car that has actually made history. Not some fantasy hypercar with numbers pulled from a designer's imagination — a real machine that engineers spent years chasing a number, any number, and actually caught it. FH6 includes most of the major record holders from the last two decades, and they're not just collector's items. These cars dominate speed traps, highway races, and long sprints in ways nothing else can match.
What makes a record car different from any other fast thing with four wheels is the obsessive engineering behind it. These aren't just powerful — they're aerodynamic solutions to a very specific problem: how fast can four wheels go before physics says no. Each of the five cars below set or held a legitimate world record at some point. Here's how FH6 models them, how they stack up, and what build to run.
1. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolute — Theoretical 330+ MPH
The Jesko Absolute is the car Christian von Koenigsegg built to answer one question: what's the absolute limit? The name isn't marketing. Simulations put the theoretical top speed above 330 mph, which would make it the fastest production car ever by a margin that starts to look like a different category of vehicle entirely. FH6 gives you the standard Jesko, but the tune and build path reflect the Absolute's philosophy — top speed at any cost.
The twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 makes 1,600 horsepower on E85 and 1,280 on pump gas. The 9-speed Light Speed Transmission shifts in 2 milliseconds. In FH6 the Jesko hits 285 mph with a speed-focused build and the right final drive ratio. Set final drive to 2.90, front downforce to minimum, rear downforce to about 50% so the back end doesn't float at 260+. Tire pressure 30 front, 26 rear — you need every bit of straight-line stability. This car wins highway races by margins that feel rude. The acceleration from 200 to 270 mph is where it separates from everything else, including the Chiron. At 2.8 million credits it's expensive, but you're buying the fastest car in FH6 and it's not particularly close.
2. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ — 304.77 MPH Certified
The first production car to break 300 miles per hour with an official, verified, not-theoretical run. August 2019, Ehra-Lessien test track, Andy Wallace behind the wheel. 304.773 mph. Bugatti built 30 customer cars to commemorate it and FH6 puts you in one of them. The quad-turbo W16 makes 1,578 horsepower and the body was stretched by 25 centimeters compared to the standard Chiron specifically for high-speed stability.
In FH6 the Chiron SS 300+ is the undisputed king of the longest straights. It will touch 304 mph with a dedicated top speed tune — max tire width rear, final drive around 2.70, and nothing spent on handling PI because you're building a missile. The downside is weight. 1,995 kilograms. That W16 is a masterpiece of engineering but it's also a fully furnished apartment in engine form. Corners are a negotiation, not a conversation. On tracks like the Marathon or any free-roam highway pull, this car is S-tier. On a proper circuit you'll get walked by the Jesko and the Nevera through every sequence. Build it for what it is — a top speed weapon — and don't try to make it something it's not.
3. Hennessey Venom F5 — 300+ MPH Claimed
The Venom F5 is the American entry in the 300 mph club, and it's a very different approach from the Europeans. Where Bugatti threw sixteen cylinders and four turbos at the problem, Hennessey used a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 making 1,817 horsepower in a carbon fiber chassis that weighs 1,360 kg. The power-to-weight ratio is absurd — 1.34 hp per kilogram, which is better than the Chiron by a significant margin. The name F5 references the Fujita tornado intensity scale, which is the kind of thing you name a car when you're from Texas and you're not interested in subtlety.
FH6's Venom F5 hits 275+ mph and accelerates harder than anything with an internal combustion engine below 200 mph. The rear-wheel-drive layout makes it trickier to launch than AWD competitors, but once you're moving the weight advantage kicks in. Mid-range acceleration from 100 to 200 mph is the F5's party piece — it pulls harder than the Jesko in that band. Tuning: keep it RWD, don't AWD swap, you'll ruin the character. Final drive 3.20, rear downforce around 70%, and be gentle with the throttle in second gear. The F5 rewards throttle discipline more than any other car on this list. At 2 million credits it's the second-most expensive car here, and it earns its price tag every time you line up on a highway race.
4. Rimac Nevera — 258 MPH Electric Record
The Nevera holds a different kind of record: fastest production EV. 258 mph, verified at the Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany. 1,914 horsepower from four electric motors, one at each wheel, each one independently controlled by the most sophisticated torque vectoring system ever put in a road car. The Nevera also holds the record for 0-60 mph at 1.74 seconds, the quarter mile at 8.25 seconds, and about 20 other acceleration benchmarks that made every ICE manufacturer very uncomfortable.
In FH6 the Nevera is the easiest car on this list to drive fast. AWD from four independent motors means the torque vectoring sorts out your mistakes before you even realize you made them. Point the wheel, floor the throttle, the computers handle physics. It weighs 2,150 kg and you cannot strip meaningful weight from it. The battery pack is structural. On tight circuits the mass catches up with you, but on fast sweeping tracks it's consistently in the top three. The electric powertrain means no gear shifts — just one continuous surge from 0 to 250+. Tuning is limited because you can't engine swap or change the transmission. Focus your PI on weight reduction, race tires, and aero. Anti-roll bars: 1 front, 65 rear. Let the weight transfer work for you instead of fighting it. Soft springs, let it settle. At 2 million credits it's not cheap, but you're getting a car that will win you races while you figure out how to drive fast.
5. SSC Tuatara — The Controversial One
The SSC Tuatara story is messy. In October 2020 they claimed a two-way average of 316.11 mph, which would have been the production car record by a lot. Then the telemetry data came under scrutiny, the numbers didn't add up, and the whole thing unraveled. In May 2022 they did it again properly: 295.0 mph two-way average. Not the record, but undeniable proof the Tuatara is genuinely, stupidly fast. The 5.9-liter twin-turbo V8 makes 1,750 horsepower on E85 in a car that weighs 1,247 kg dry.
FH6's Tuatara is the most demanding car on this list. RWD, massive power, light weight — it's a recipe for spending a lot of time looking at your rear bumper in the replay camera. But once you learn the throttle modulation, the Tuatara delivers lap times that embarrass cars with 200 more horsepower. The aero was designed by Jason Castriota, who also did the Ferrari 599 and Maserati GranTurismo, and it shows. At high speed the Tuatara plants itself and goes exactly where you point it. The problem is getting to high speed without spinning. Tuning: rear tire pressure at 25 PSI for bite, final drive 3.40, and maximum rear downforce. Front downforce minimum — you want the nose to turn in, the rear will follow if you're patient. Rear anti-roll bar at 1.0, front at 70. This is a car for people who enjoy the learning curve. At 1.5 million credits it's actually a bargain for what you get.

Which One Should You Buy First?
If you want to win highway races and free-roam speed traps with minimal effort: Jesko Absolute. If you want the absolute highest top speed number and don't care about corners: Chiron SS 300+. If you want to feel like a better driver than you actually are: Rimac Nevera. If you enjoy the process of mastering a difficult car: SSC Tuatara. If you want mid-range brutality and don't mind rear-wheel-drive: Venom F5. There's no wrong answer, only which flavor of speed you prefer. Eventually you'll own all five anyway because that's what FH6 is — a game about collecting things that go fast, and these are the fastest things there are.
