Chili_pepper gives two more recent varieties as the world's hottest, making this page out of date:

"According to Guinness World Records, as of March 1, 2011, the world's hottest chili pepper is the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper. [15] A laboratory test conducted in March, 2011 measured a specimen of Trinidad Scorpion Butch T at 1,463,700 Scoville heat units, making it hotter than the previous hottest chilli, the Naga Viper, at 1,382,118 SHU. The secret to the heat, according to the creators, is fertilizing the soil with the liquid runoff of a worm farm.[16] However, in February, 2012, another test was conducted at the Chile Pepper Institute of New Mexico State University. It revealed that the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion had a Scoville rating of 2,000,000, making it the new winner.[17]"
