The South Perimeter Road is one of the favourite destinations for car enthusiasts in Hong Kong. In a country like Hong Kong where the market is flooded with some of the fastest cars in 2024, the peaceful coastal road overlooking the Macau Bridge is just the kind of place where you would want to max out your supercar.
Unlike most Western nations where premier brands like Bugatti and Koenigsegg are present, Hong Kong’s car market offers access to the more popular brands like Mercedes Benz, BMW, Ferrari and more. So, when it comes to buying the fastest cars in Hong Kong in 2024, there is no shortage of manufacturers to choose from.
Since the definition of going fast varies between drivers, we have selected some of the top supercars that achieve a fine balance between insane acceleration and permissible top speeds in the country. You will be surprised to find some luxury saloons making it to the list of the fastest cars along with the most radical hypercars the world is accustomed to.
Our list starts with the fastest iteration of the Porsche 911 and goes on to explore the magnificent BMW i7 M70, the Mercedes AMG GT Coupe, the gorgeous Lamborghini Revuelto and the extreme Ferrari SF90XX Stradale. We even have a surprise entrant in this list, which many of you may encounter a tad more often than the rest.
So, buckle up and join us as we explore the fastest cars you can drive on the streets of Hong Kong in 2024.
The fastest cars in Hong Kong 2024
Porsche 911 Turbo S
Price: HKD 4,733,000
Category: Two-door sports car
Engine: 3.7-litre flat-six twin-turbo
The Porsche 911 was never meant to be among the fastest road cars but its Turbo variant ends up being one. With the 918 Spyder no longer in production, the 911 Turbo S is currently the fastest Porsche you can drive in Hong Kong. It can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 2.7 seconds and flat out, its speedometer can show 330 kph. That’s blistering quick for a car with an engine hanging on its rear!
Despite being a fast car, the 911 Turbo S is luxuriously equipped to pamper you when you are stuck within the city limits. On the track though, its all-wheel-drive system offers ultimate grip to carve corners perfectly. For those seeking some wind-in-the-hair experience, you can get the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet.
BMW i7 M70 xDrive
Price: HKD 3,187,400
Category: Four-door limousine
Engine: 485kW electric motor
If we expected a BMW to make it to our list of the fastest cars in Hong Kong, it would be an exotic sportscar with a massive V12 engine. Surprisingly, in the days of electric propulsion, even a luxury barge like the BMW i7 can end up being the fastest vehicle you can drive on the streets.
The BMW i7 M70 propels from 0-100 kph in just 3.7 seconds and if you keep the pedal floored, it can reach its electronically limited top speed of 250 kph. What’s fascinating is that you can access such supercar levels of performance while getting a comfortable massage and catching up on your favourite Netflix show. If you prefer to be chauffeured, you can get into the full limo mode and extend the massive flat-screen TV to get the theatre experience.
The only downside is the long charging times but when you look at the long list of pros, we bet you can gloss over that ‘minor inconvenience’.
Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale
Price: Not listed
Category: Hypercar
Engine: Hybrid 4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol
The Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale is one of the fastest cars you can drive on the streets of Hong Kong. Based on the SF90 Stradale, which is no slouch, the XX version is tuned for the racetrack and adopts extreme measures to save on weight. The carbon misses out on sound deadening and insulating but most drivers aren’t likely to complain.
Unlike the XX-branded Ferraris of the past, this SF90 XX Stradale is road-legal, which means you aren’t restricted to driving on a race track. The hybrid V8 engine coupled with the extreme suspension and aero tuning ensures that this hypercar can put down its 1,030 hp on the road efficiently. It can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 2.3 seconds and attain a top speed of 320 kph.
Lamborghini Revuelto
Price: Not listed
Category: Hypercar
Engine: Hybrid 6.5-litre V12 petrol
The Lamborghini Aventador was already one of the fastest supercars to drive around town and hence, you would expect its successor to be faster, right? Gladly, Lamborghini kept the essence of its fire-breathing supercar, i.e. the naturally aspirated V12 engine and married it with the jolt of three electric motors.
This system makes over 1,000 hp and combined with the upgraded suspension and chassis, it can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 2.5 seconds. Flat out, this Italian supercar can attain its top speed of 350 kph.
When you are done driving enthusiastically, the Revuelto tech-laden interior keeps you comfy in the city streets. And once you step out, you are greeted by the sheer magnificence of the design, especially with that jaw-dropping rear and those fascinating scissor doors.
2024 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance
Price: HKD 3,200,000
Category: Supercar
Engine: 4.0 L biturbo plug-in hybrid V8
The Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance is the fastest car wearing the three-pointed star badge, beating even the limited-run AMG One hypercar. Combining the brutal might of Mercedes’ sweet V8 engine and an electric propulsion system, the AMG GT Coupe can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 3.2 seconds and max out at 315 kph. Whether you obtain such kinds of performance on the track or streets, you need skills to keep this sportscar on the tarmac.
Since this is a Mercedes, you don’t miss out on comforts or modern-day gizmos. The GT Coupe has a luxurious and well-appointed cabin featuring a massive touchscreen infotainment system and gorgeous detailing. The exterior might seem derivative of its predecessor and certainly can’t match the presence of the old SLS AMG but it is still a sight to behold, especially with its swoopy roofline and the long hood.
Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD
Price: HKD 333,200
Category: Sports sedan
Engine: Electric
Don’t be shocked to see the humble Tesla Model 3 on this list. With its meagre top speed of 250 kph, it is not going to beat the Mercs and Ferraris listed here. However, in a drag race, the Model 3 can make use of its dual motor configuration to keep up with most supercars. Tesla says that the Model 3 can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 3.1 seconds, which by our standards is blistering fast.
When you are not in the mood to go fast, a lightweight right foot can give you up to 528 km of range on a fully charged battery. The revised Model 3 offers a minimalist interior with a large touchscreen infotainment display that controls almost all crucial aspects of the vehicle.
