Obviously Hypercars like Bugatti Chiron's and Koenigsegg Jesko's are getting faster. However, your average everyday car or even sports cars, seem to have regressed or stagnated in top speed progression. Even Supercars like Lamborghini's are stagnating in Top Speed. What gives? I'll tell you what gives. Top Speed is overrated and just isn't as important as video games have marketed you to think they are. In reality, literally anything other than Top Speed, is more important to driving fast on road or even on track. Top Speed has diminishing returns after a certain point and has become a gimmick in the modern world of automotive culture. Notice how the fastest lap times on the Nurburgring isn't held by Bugatti's or Koenigsegg's, in fact, neither are seen in the Top 5 or even Top 10. Downforce, Handling, Acceleration, Weight Distribution, Tire Grip, Efficiency, and Reliability are what Consumers value more and even what race cars value more. Winning an Endurance Race is now seen as a far more valuable flex than going fast for a few seconds.
