Since we are all car enthusiast, we are pretty familiar with everything that is going on in the world of supercars. They come in all shapes and sizes and their engines produce some serious horsepower. However, we are not going to talk about cars in here. No, no, the videos we have for you today are pretty special. Namely, we are going to take a look at some top fuel boats that have over 10,000 horsepower. There is no mistake here with the numbers. They really DO have incredible power.
These boats form a completely different category of vessels. Some people see boats and smaller vessels as pretty boring at times. This is primarily because they have no wheels and cannot be seen out there on the road. However, whenever someone mentions 10,000 of horsepower, even the most hardcore car enthusiasts are going to be interested in. Words cannot describe how awesome these top fuel boats are but videos sure can. Thus being said, just sit back while we take a look at some of the numbers and quirks and features that these top fuel boats have.
To kick things off, let`s take a look at their engines. All of these vessels are equipped with supercharged V8 engines. Also, they consume nitromethane fuel, which actually helps a lot when it comes to power. You can just assume how expensive one such top fuel boat really is. But what about their top speed or how fast does it take to get from 0 to 100? Well, let us skip the 100 mph mark and go way, way beyond. Some super cars can reach stunning speeds but they do take quite the time to do so.
So, without further ado, let us show you the numbers. One such boat can reach speeds of up to 270 mph in JUST 3.5 seconds. Yes, this is actually possible and you can clearly see it in the videos below. Their power is enough to force all of your blood into your head. Just imagine being in one of those cockpits and feeling the thrill. Of course, this means that in order to maneuver these top fuel boats will take a lot of practice and experience. Making even the slightest of mistake can be the difference between life and death.
In some of the clips the vessels can be seen accelerating so fast that they look like they float. Since water does not have so much resistance compared to asphalt and tires, we can all assume why is this possible. People worldwide compete against each other in some boat competitions in order to prove whose boat is the fastest. In our opinion all of these top fuel boats are stunning but only one can be a champion. Make sure to go through the videos carefully and capture the moment when they accelerate. Make sure not to blink as you might miss it!
