Top 11 Fastest Cars in the World
So here we are, the list of the top 11 fastest production cars in the world, ranked by top speed. All the cars you would expect are on the list, ranked from fastest to slowest (though calling any of these cars slow is blasphemy.) We start the list with the king of fast.
SSC Ultimate Aero
Top Speed: 257 mph
1183 Horsepower
Bugatti Veyron
Bugatti Veyron
Top Speed: 252.2 mph
1001 Horsepower
Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo
Saleen S7 TT
Top Speed: 248 mph
750 Horsepower
VCars didn’t specify that it’s an S7 Twin-Turbo, but that’s what they’re talking about. This is one bad-ass car.
Koenigsegg CCX
Koenigsegg CCX
Top Speed: 250 mph
900 Horsepower
McLaren F1
McLaren F1
Top Speed: 240.14
620 Horsepower
Can you believe this? The McLaren F1 was made in 1994, 16 years ago, and it’s still one of the fastest cars in the world. This happens to be the first car on this list I would purchase if I had the cash. Then I’d buy the Koenigsegg.
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari Enzo
Top Speed: 217 mph
657 Horsepower
Ferrari’s newest Mega-Car seems to have people crashing it left and right, but the drivers always walk away fine (physically.) With only 399 of these ever made, the value of the car goes up with each crash.
Jaguar XJ220
Jaguar XJ220
Top Speed: 217 mph
549 Horsepower
Even older than the McLaren F1, the Jaguar XJ220 has been on this list since 1992. Be sure to check out the Pininfarina version as well.
Pagani Zonda F
Pagani Zonda F
Top Speed: 215 mph
602 Horsepower
With Pagani’s new Zonda R, the Zonda might be creeping up on this list faster than Bugatti can say “We need bigger turbos.”
Lamborghini Murcielago
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
Top Speed: 213
633 Horsepower
I think VCars got a little bit confused here. The title suggests they mean the standard Murcielago, but the top speed and pictures tell us they’re talking about the LP640. Let’s clear this up a bit…the horsepower on the LP640 is 640 (hence the name,) and the hp rating on the standard Murcielago is 580.
Porsche Carrera GT
Porsche Carerra GT
Top Speed: 209 mph
605 Horsepower
Porsche’s fastest, most attractive (and most expensive) car to date comes in at #10.
McLaren Mercedes SLR
Mercedes McLaren SLR
Top Speed: 207 mph
626 Horsepower
Conclusion:
Aside from the minor inaccuracies in the list, VCars pretty much got this right on. Hopefully some other manufacturers want in on this list and will build their next cars accordingly. In the mean time, the current winners will be competing for the next spot up.
