When An Ordinary Supercar Garage Just Won’t Do
Rick Hendrick doesn’t exactly collect cars casually. His personal fleet includes first-production Corvettes, million-dollar charity-auction purchases, Ferrari royalty, track-only monsters, and hypercars most people will never see outside a concours. Ranked by top speed from slowest to fastest, even the most sluggish cars on this list would take your breath away.

2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray — 183 MPH
Calling the E-Ray the “slowest” car here feels ridiculous when it still tops out at 183 mph. Hendrick paid $1.1 million for the first production example, adding another major Corvette milestone to a collection packed with them. The hybrid-assisted, all-wheel-drive E-Ray is actually one of the quickest Corvettes off the line, which is a perfect reminder that acceleration and ultimate top speed aren’t the same thing.
2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray — 184 MPH
The first mid-engine Corvette was always going to end up on Hendrick’s radar. He spent $3 million for the first production Stingray, finished in black and equipped with the Z51 Performance Package. That package adds useful track-focused hardware and extra aerodynamic drag, leaving this version at around 184 mph. It might sit near the bottom here, but this is still the car that completely reinvented America’s sports car.
2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS — 184 MPH
The GT3 RS is another example of why top speed doesn’t tell the whole story. Its 184-mph maximum sounds almost restrained beside Hendrick’s hypercars, but Porsche intentionally traded straight-line speed for huge aerodynamic grip and devastating track performance. Its giant active rear wing, aggressive aero, and naturally aspirated flat-six make it more interested in destroying corners than chasing some giant V-max number.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 — About 185–186 MPH
Hendrick paid $1 million for the first production C7 Z06 Coupe, and his black example was fitted with the aggressive Z07 Performance Package. That matters here because the Z07’s huge aero additions create extra drag, limiting maximum speed compared with a lower-downforce configuration. What it gives back is serious track capability, making this one of those cars that willingly trades a few mph for much more grip.
Ferrari 288 GTO — About 189 MPH
Hendrick’s 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO kicks off one of the craziest sub-collections in his garage: all five of Ferrari’s modern halo cars. Around 190 mph might sound almost normal now, but it was absolutely outrageous when the twin-turbo GTO arrived in the mid-1980s. It helped establish the template that eventually led to the F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari sitting alongside it in Hendrick’s collection.

Garage 56 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 — Roughly 190+ MPH Territory
This one makes the ranking messy because the Garage 56 Camaro wasn’t built around a neat production-car top-speed claim. Hendrick Motorsports created the modified NASCAR racer for the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Hendrick retained the development car afterward. Its real magic is circuit speed rather than V-max: when Car and Driver took that development machine to Virginia International Raceway, it was dramatically quicker around the track than any street car the magazine had tested there.

2017 Acura NSX — 191 MPH
Hendrick paid $1.2 million for the first production second-generation Acura NSX, then personally took delivery at Acura’s Ohio manufacturing facility. The hybrid supercar tops out around 191 mph while combining a twin-turbo V6 with electric motors and all-wheel drive. It’s far more subtle than some of his Italian hypercars, but owning the very first example makes it a perfect Hendrick collection piece.
2022 Acura NSX Type S — About 191 MPH
Apparently one first-production NSX wasn’t enough. Hendrick later paid another $1.1 million for the first NSX Type S, the limited-production finale of Acura’s second-generation supercar. Its top-end figure remains around the same territory as the standard NSX, but Acura sharpened the Type S for better acceleration and track performance. Having both first examples together makes for a pretty incredible before-and-after pair.

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 — 195 MPH
Hendrick spent a staggering $3.6 million securing the first production C8 Z06, with the auction proceeds going to charity. Unlike the previous supercharged Z06, this one uses a screaming naturally aspirated flat-plane-crank V8 and feels much closer to an exotic than a traditional Corvette. Its 195-mph maximum is plenty serious, but the engine sound and high-rpm personality might be even more memorable than the number.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat — 199 MPH
The first production Challenger SRT Hellcat was another charity-auction target for Hendrick, who paid $1.65 million for it. His car was made even more distinctive with Stryker Red paint associated with the Viper. A 199-mph top speed from a massive five-seat Dodge coupe seemed almost absurd when the Hellcat arrived, and the fact that it achieved that with old-school supercharged muscle made it even more entertaining.
Ferrari F40 — 201 MPH
The F40 was one of the cars that made 200 mph feel like automotive mythology. Ferrari rated it around 201 mph, and doing that in the late 1980s with a lightweight body, twin-turbo V8, and very little separating the driver from the experience made it legendary. Hendrick’s example sits alongside every Ferrari halo successor, making it possible to trace decades of supercar evolution just by walking down one row.
Ferrari F50 — 202 MPH
The F50 moved Ferrari’s halo formula in a completely different direction. Instead of the F40’s turbocharged brutality, it used a naturally aspirated V12 with Formula 1 connections and a removable roof panel. Its roughly 202-mph maximum only edges the F40 on paper, but the two cars deliver completely different experiences. Hendrick owning both means he doesn’t have to choose.
991-Generation Porsche 911 Turbo S — Up To 205 MPH
A 991-generation Turbo S has been identified in Hendrick’s collection, although the exact model year isn’t always specified publicly. Depending on which version it is, top speed lands around the 200-to-205-mph mark. That makes it one of the quieter beasts here: a car capable of shocking speeds while still looking civilized enough to drive to dinner. In this collection, that almost counts as understated.

McLaren Senna GTR — Around 208–210 MPH
The Senna GTR was never designed to be a top-speed hero. McLaren threw road-car compromises aside and focused on aero, downforce, braking, and track performance, making this GTR version even more extreme than the already outrageous road-going Senna. Hendrick’s has been displayed alongside his AMG ONE and Porsche 918. Around 210 mph is plenty, but this is another car where lap time matters far more than bragging about the speedometer.
Ferrari SF90 Spider — 211 MPH
Hendrick’s collection reportedly includes a 2023 SF90 Spider, one of Ferrari’s most technically complicated road cars. It combines a twin-turbo V8 with hybrid assistance and all-wheel drive while still letting the roof disappear. Despite all that complexity, it’ll run to roughly 211 mph. The fact that something this brutally fast can also be driven open-air makes the SF90 one of the stranger combinations in the garage.

Ferrari Daytona SP3 — More Than 211 MPH
The Daytona SP3 looks like it escaped from a futuristic interpretation of a 1960s Ferrari racing paddock. Hendrick’s car has appeared publicly alongside some of his newest hypercars, and Ferrari rates the Daytona at more than 211 mph. Unlike many modern flagships, it gets there with a naturally aspirated V12 rather than turbocharging or a hybrid system. That alone gives it a very different personality from the machines surrounding it.
2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 — 212 MPH
Hendrick bought the first production C7 ZR1, giving him the ultimate version of the final front-engine Corvette generation. Chevrolet rated the 755-hp monster at 212 mph, which made it the fastest production Corvette yet when it arrived. Its huge supercharger, aggressive aero, and barely contained attitude made it feel like Chevrolet had pushed the old Corvette formula as far as it could possibly go.

Porsche 918 Spyder — 214 MPH
The Porsche 918 Spyder is part of the famous hybrid-hypercar trio that changed the performance world in the 2010s. Hendrick’s example has appeared at public displays with his other flagship machines, including the AMG ONE and Senna GTR. With all-wheel drive, electric assistance, and a naturally aspirated V8, the 918 manages roughly 214 mph while also being one of the most sophisticated cars in the whole collection.
2019 Ford GT Heritage Edition — 216 MPH
Hendrick paid $2.5 million for the first 2019 Ford GT Heritage Edition, with the charity sale making an already special car even more significant. The Gulf-inspired paint scheme honors Ford’s Le Mans-winning GT40s, while the modern twin-turbo Ford GT is capable of 216 mph. It’s also a rare moment where Hendrick’s personal collection steps away from GM loyalty for something historically irresistible.
Ferrari Enzo — More Than 217 MPH
The Enzo sits right in the middle of Hendrick’s five-car Ferrari halo sequence, and it feels like a bridge between old-school analog supercars and the electronics-heavy hypercars that followed. Ferrari quoted more than 217 mph from its naturally aspirated V12 flagship. The styling was controversial when new, but the performance never was. Two decades later, it still looks like something that should be parked in a prototype paddock rather than a private garage.

Ferrari LaFerrari — More Than 217 MPH
The LaFerrari took the Enzo formula and added hybrid assistance, giving Ferrari its first electrically boosted halo machine. Officially, the top speed is quoted at more than 217 mph, but its real party trick is how brutally it combines electric torque with V12 power. Hendrick owning the LaFerrari alongside the 288 GTO, F40, F50, and Enzo turns that portion of his garage into a Ferrari history lesson.
Mercedes-AMG ONE — 219 MPH
Hendrick’s Mercedes-AMG ONE was the first example delivered to a U.S. owner, which is fitting for someone whose garage seems built around collecting automotive milestones. The ONE takes actual Formula 1-inspired technology to absurd extremes, including a tiny high-revving turbo V6 working with an advanced hybrid system. Its 219-mph top speed is wild, but its racing-car engineering is the bigger story. Few street-legal cars have ever blurred the line between road and race machinery this aggressively.

Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 — About 221 MPH
The Sián is Lamborghini madness with a layer of futuristic hybrid experimentation added on top. Its naturally aspirated V12 works with a supercapacitor-based hybrid system rather than a conventional battery setup, and Lamborghini lists a maximum speed of 355 km/h, or roughly 221 mph. Hendrick’s example adds yet another incredibly limited hypercar to a collection already overflowing with them. Even beside an AMG ONE and LaFerrari, the Sián refuses to blend in.

Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution — 221.92+ MPH Demonstrated
The Venom F5 Revolution needs a giant asterisk in a pure top-speed ranking, because 221.92 mph isn’t a conventional claimed V-max. That speed was demonstrated by the F5 platform in a standing half-mile, while Hendrick’s Revolution is the more aero-heavy, track-focused version. His car has been publicly displayed as part of the collection, and the Revolution’s enormous downforce means ultimate straight-line speed isn’t really its only goal. Hitting this neighborhood of speed in half a mile is arguably crazier anyway.
2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 — 233 MPH
And somehow the fastest car on this list is a Corvette. Hendrick paid $3.7 million for the first retail-production 2025 ZR1 at a charity auction, adding the most extreme factory Corvette yet to his enormous collection. Chevrolet has verified a 233-mph top speed, putting the twin-turbo ZR1 ahead of everything else here on a straightforward V-max basis. For a man whose collection is packed with Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and hypercars, having a Chevrolet sitting at the top feels extremely appropriate.
