Despite the rapid growth in popularity of compact and midsize crossovers, sedans still hold the leading position in popularity among motorists around the world. And we very much doubt that the situation will change much in the next few years. Which sedans are the most powerful?
BMW M3 Competition DKG
For the first time, the BMW M3 in the body of the F-80 was presented in the winter of 213, after which the car underwent a planned restyling, and also acquired a special version of the Competition DKG, which received a number of visual differences, as well as a more powerful power plant.
Under the hood of the car is a 3-liter 6-cylinder with a double turbine, which was boosted to 450 "horses", due to which it takes 4 seconds to exchange the first hundred cars. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h.
Like almost all BMW models, the M3 Competition DKG offers its owner a high-quality interior, excellent handling and a wide range of standard and optional equipment.
Cadillac ATS-V
In 2014, in Los Angeles, Cadillac unveiled the "charged" ATS-V sedan, which went on sale in the first quarter of 215. The car has an aggressive and stylish exterior, excellent internal content and rich equipment.
But the main feature of the Cadillac is the 3.6-liter, 6-cylinder twin-turbo petrol engine, generating 470 hp. and a maximum torque of 601 Nm. This is enough to accelerate the car from zero to 100 km / h in 4.1 seconds, as well as reach a top speed of 304 km / h.
Additional features of the car include adaptive dampers and high-performance brakes from Brembo.
Mercedes-AMG C63 S
The 2014 Paris Motor Show became the site of the official premiere of the "heated" Mercedes-AMG C63 S sedan, which received a more formidable exterior and high-performance technical content.
So, the car is set in motion by means of a 4-liter 8-cylinder petrol power unit with a double turbocharging system, reaching a power of 510 "horses" and 700 Nm of thrust.
This engine replaces the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated engine, generating 457 hp. (600 Nm). Thanks to the increased power, the car exchanges the first hundred square meters in 4 seconds, and the top speed is limited by an electronic "collar" to 250 km / h.
Mercedes-AMG C63 S got a sportier interior, represented by sports seats with well-developed lateral support, carbon fiber decorative inserts and a slightly modernized instrument panel.
Alfa Romeo Giulia QV
In June 2015, the Italian brand Alfa Romeo presented a hot version of the Julia sedan, which received the QV (Quadrifoglio Verde) prefix.
The car has an aggressive appearance, first-class interior and excellent dynamic performance. Under the hood of the sedan is a 3-liter turbocharged "six", which were tuned by specialists from Ferrari and Maserati.
As a result, the car produces 510 hp. and 600 Nm of torque, thanks to which acceleration from standstill to 100 km / h takes only 3.9 seconds. The official top speed is 307 km / h, but as part of a test drive on the Nardo Ring, the car was able to accelerate to 321 km / h.
Jaguar XJR575
In 2018, Jaguar introduced the top-end modification of the XJR sedan, which received the prefix "575" in the name. Unlike the "usual" XJR, the car received a slightly corrected exterior and a more powerful power unit - a 5-liter turbocharged "eight" with a capacity of 575 hp. and peak 700 Nm of torque.
With this engine, the sedan picks up speed of 100 km / h in 4.4 seconds. and can reach a maximum of 300 km / h, limited by an electronic "noose".
In addition to the powerful stuffing, Jaguar XJR575 received an impressive list of electronic assistants, including:
- the function of keeping the car within a given lane;
- a system for tracking the level of fatigue of the "pilot";
- auto deceleration system;
- automatic pedestrian detection function and much more.
The minimum price for the Jaguar starts at 59.99 thousand euros.
Audi S8 Plus
The Audi S8 Plus is a flagship sedan based on the A8 that debuted in the summer of 2015.
The novelty differs from the "civilian" version of the sedan by original 21-inch wheels, matrix head optics, external carbon fiber mirrors, special interior trim, as well as more efficient filling.
The heart of the vehicle is a 4-liter TFSI petrol engine, boosted to 605 hp. and 700 Nm of torque, which, due to the Overboost function, can briefly increase to 750 Nm.
With such an engine, the car "shoots" up to a hundred in 3.8 seconds and develops 250 km / h, after which an electronic speed limiter comes into play. However, it is worth noting that with the installation of a special dynamic package, the maximum speed can be increased to 305 km / h.
BMW M760 Li xDrive
The executive sedan BMW M760 Li xDrive debuted in February 2016, although the "civilian" version of the model was shown back in the fall of 2015.

Mercedes-AMG E 63 S 4Matic +
The "charged" Mercedes-AMG E 63 S 4Matic + sedan debuted on the world stage in 2016. Unlike most competitors, the car is not much different from the civilian modification, which in no way spoils the impression of the model.
Under the hood of the car there was a 4-liter V8 biturbo forced up to 612 "horses", which replaced the 5.5-liter "eight".
The dynamic performance is impressive: acceleration from 0 to 100 in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 250 km / h, while the electronic "collar" can be shifted to the mark of 300 km / h.
Cadillac CTS-V
In 2013, Cadillac introduced the 3rd generation CTS sedan, and a few years later showed its charged modification, which received the prefix "V" in the name.
The "hot sedan" differs from the usual version of the model by a carbon-fiber hood with a large air intake, more aggressive bumpers and additional air intakes located behind the front wheel arches.
Under the hood of the car is a 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine, borrowed from the Corvette C7 Z06 model. Its recoil reaches 649 "horses", and the maximum torque is 855 Nm, which makes it possible to change the first hundred in 3.9 seconds. and accelerate to a maximum speed of 322 km / h.
Thus, the model became the fastest car of the company in the entire history of its existence.
Dоdge Сharger SRT Hellcat
In the spring of 2014, the auto concern Dodge showed the updated Charger sedan, and a few months later it declassified information about its "heated" modification SRT Hellcat.
So, the novelty received a 6.2-liter eight-cylinder gasoline engine of the Hemi Hellcat line, generating 717 hp. and a maximum rotational thrust of 881 Nm. This filling is enough for the car to "shoot" from a standstill to 100 km / h in 3.9 seconds. and could reach a top speed of 328 km / h.
It takes a car only 11 seconds to cover a quarter mile, and a sedan can reach speeds of up to 160 km / h and come to a complete stop for half a minute.
Conclusion
In compiling a selection of the most powerful sedans, we have tried to avoid hybrid and all-electric vehicles. In addition, the sample did not include exclusive versions of cars that are regularly presented by tuning studios around the world.
