8 Cars That DESTROYED the 0-400-0 km/h World Record

The 0-400-0 km/h world record is the ultimate test of speed AND stopping power. Only a handful of hypercars have ever held this title — and each one shattered the record set by its predecessor. Here's every car that rewrote the record books, in chronological order. Going from 0 to 400 km/h (249 mph) and back to a dead stop isn't just about horsepower — it's about aerodynamics, tire technology, braking systems, and the courage of the driver behind the wheel. This record has been traded between the most extreme machines ever built, from early attempts by modified supercars to purpose-engineered hypercars with over 1,500 horsepower. In this video, we trace the complete evolution of the 0-400-0 km/h record — no repeated cars, no filler. Just the definitive chronological timeline of every machine that held the crown, how long each one kept it, and what finally dethroned it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Introduction: What is the 0-400-0 km/h challenge? 0:38 — [CAR #8] —The first unofficial record holder 2:10 — [CAR #7] — How it beat the previous time 3:34 — [CAR #6] — 5:00 —[CAR #5] — The first official record holder 6:10 — [CAR #4] — When the record dropped below 34 seconds 7:26 — [CAR #3] — Engineering at the limit 8:51 — [CAR #2] — The record that seemed unbeatable 10:20 — [CAR #1] — The current king 12:29 — Outro: Full timeline ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 THE COMPLETE 0-400-0 km/h RECORD TIMELINE 9.

Unlike a top speed run (which only tests straight-line power), the 0-400-0 challenge tests EVERYTHING: → Acceleration: 0 to 400 km/h as fast as possible → Braking: 400 km/h back to a complete stop → Aerodynamics: Downforce at extreme speed AND during braking → Tires: Grip under the most extreme forces on Earth → Driver: Nerve, reaction time, and trust in the machine The total time includes BOTH the acceleration AND the braking phase — making it the most complete measure of a hypercar's real-world performance. 🔔 MORE FROM THIS CHANNEL ▶️ Defying Physics: The 20 Fastest Cars on the Planet ▶️ Automotive Art: The 15 Most Expensive Cars Ever Auctioned ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #0400record #hypercars #worldrecord #fastestcars #speedrecord #supercar #carrecord #top10cars
