Top 50: Fastest Cars
81Introduction
As humans, we have a fascination with speed. There's something hard wired into our brain to react to adrenaline, and we all know how much adrenaline is dumped into out system when we go fast.
Over the last 100 years, we've gone from very slow, to very fast, and every few years it seems, a new King of the production fast cars comes along. More recently there have been so many new "hyper-cars" that we often don't realise its faster. Take the Bugatti Veyron for example. This is one fast fast car, and many believe it to be the worlds fastest production car. That however is wrong.
Take a look through the list to see where your favourite Hyper-cars come.
This list does not currently feature the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (SS) due to the fact that it is currently not in production. When it goes into production in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2011 the list will be updated but until then, it's not a production car and therefore doesn't make it on to the list.

The Fastest Car In The World Is....
So we've gone through the top 49, and here is the fastest car in the world, the Shelby Super Cars (SSC) Ultimate Aero. The 1287 hp V8 powers this carbon fibre clad "Hyper-car" all the way to 257mph! It gets to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds, and will power it's way down a 1/4 mile strip in 9.9 seconds. This is one FAST car!
Interesting to know that SSC are working on (and will be producing) the Ultimate Aero EV. This will be the first 200mph+ electric car powered by a single 500bhp electric motor. It's worth mentioning that SSC are playing around with bolting 2 of their 500bhp motors together for a 100hp electric Hyper-car. Who says you can't have an economical Hypercar?
1 SSC Ultimate Aero - 257mph
SSC Ultimate Aero EV - 200mph+

WRONG...
the BMW M5 only does 155MPH, where on earth did you geet 205MPH from???
Wow Chris, the speed limiter, when removed, lets the M5 get up to 205....read up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bmw_m5#E60_M5_.282005
Pretty amazing that its in the top 20 of this list, its a freakin 5 passenger car...
Ah the good old speed limiter catching people out.
In case no one knows this, if you take the limiter out of the Bristol Fighter T (11) in theory it will do 275mph, but I don't think anyone has actually done it yet.
I suspect the M5 is electronically limited to 155, remove it and it does 205.
According to YOUR link, t only does 195, and considering it has only 500 hp and an ungainly sedan body to push around I'd say that's pushing it.
you forgot the Maybach Exelero it goes 218 plus it was the first v16
The Maybach was not the first v16 that was held by a Caddy if I'm not mistaken
Just looked it up and the first v16 was introduced back in 1926 and it was a caddy
wut about the koeniggseg ccr?
disregard the above comment... just noticed it at 3 on the list
The viper is aerodynamically challenged and would never get close to 255
That is probably why they redesigned the front fascia of the Viper. As for the top speed you may be right, I'm not entirely sure they have actually ever tested it. But what I do know is that it held the one mile standing record at 217.9 MPH, and also beat the Buggati Veyron from 0-200 MPH by over 4 seconds.
hey you left out the brabus rocket it goes 228 MH and it is a 4 door passenger car. with one thousand hoursepower V12
also they have an edition that is two seater convertible that has same engine but it electronicly limits the torque but in theory it should top out faste then the 4 door rocket
wow great list/...amazing cars....great job done...it would be much better if you have prices for these cars to display....please add prices if you find it.thanx for sharing
Good up until the Enzo.
217 is faster than 213!
You need to flip-flop some cars there.
The Enzo is now in it's correct place, thanks for pointing it out.
Callaway corvette 254 mph, or does this list only include production cars?
Sadly just production, I believe there's a coupl of Gallaway concepts that would be in the top ten if they went into production...
I want a 911 Turbo so bad. Now, I just need the 100k and I'll be set.
Great list. What about the Porsche 959? I seem to remember that it was about 200 Mph top speed.
last i heard the bugatti held the record for fastest production car in the world. there is a video where one of the people on Top Gear actually got a bugatti up to 254 mph. could you give links to where you found information on the other cars that you have listed after the bugatti? and a theory speed is nice, but it doesnt mean anything if it cant actually do it, even on an open test track.
i would like to get a bugatti, speed past a cop at 200 mph, then pull over so he can catch me, and when he asks why i did, ill say "i want the record for the fastest speeding ticket"
ok... forget my last post... decided to do some research of my own... and ok...
i would still have the veyron. the amount of luxury/build quality relative to top speed is still (my opinion) far superior!!!
Look on YouTube - the M6 does 206MPH Delimited with the SAME ENGINE!! It is a very fast car when de-limited.
The new Maxximus G-Force at 1600 HP will probably take over first place.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Ariel Atom 3 supposed to be on the list too? It's a small production car, admittingly, but so is most of the elite cars on the list. Top Gear posted the 2nd gen. Atom as the second fastest car they have ever driven, below the Veyron, but above the Enzo.
Dated, but I don't think the facts changed that much.
Enjoyed the list, but then again, I don't don't care which is the absolute fastest ranked, as much as I would like to check some of these off my "driven" list.
ya... the stock M5 has a top speed of 195. but if you wish to add cars to the list that only reach these high speeds with out their limiter, there would be ALLOT of mercedes would be in this list. many of their cars can reach over 190 with out the limiter. need to redo this list and remove the cars that only reach these speeds with out the limiter if your not going to put all of them in... there are allot of cars that can reach over 200 with out the limiter. if they were listed, there wouldnt be any cars that do less then 200 in the list.
and the bugatti is superior... it can do 254 MPH and weighs allot more then the others that are as fast... i bet you if you take out all the un-needed items, just gut the car, it could go much faster.
Mmm Mmm Good : )
sweet!
Good one
I love Bugatti Vyron because it's certified that iot can touch 407.5 KM/H you can see the video in youtube 'tested by Top Gear Team'
Yeah, the SSC has been recorded at 257mph, check out the Guniess World Records.
Anybody remember the Vector W8 twin turbo? I thought that was a production car and it was reputed to have a 240+ top speed...
Yeah Mikus, I've mentioned it in my look at American cars here.
http://hubpages.com/hub/108-Years-Of-American-Cars
The problem with the W8 was it was never recorded at anything over 185mph and from what I've heard, wasn't much fun to drive over 180mph.
Top Speed of the Ford GT is 211 mph not 205. Ford's own posted number.
No one has ever had it above 205mph with the production gearing. This is not based on copanies figures, because everyone knows they lie about them most of the time.
Interesting hub with great pictures.
Just for giggles, which is the best car
for
1. dollars per mph
2. dollars per hp per mph
3. mpg for mph
4. horse pwer per mph
This would tell us the best design for the best price kind of perspective.
just a thought.
Another interest fact would be, what is the fastest police pursuit speed and by what vehicles?
Do you have any interior shots of these cars?
What are you guys talking about horsepower and engine size for? If geared properly you can get a MOPED to do a 100 mph!
The M5 has been tested to do 205 MPH.
The M5 is eletronically limited to 155MPH by law. There are many tuners out there like RPI and Powerchip that remove this limiter. I personally have hit 196MPH in mine after it was delimited.
awsome array of cars on here!! im from bristol the home of the fighter and there is a production tt on the road in theory 280mph+ from a v10, the same factory is building the world record chalenger for the fastest car 'the bloodhound ssc' hopefully gonna get my hands on a db9 very soon will try and top the speed on the m32 southbound :P
What a great list. I found it fascinating. Just looking at some of these gets your adrenaline going. I love a car that not only looks sleek, but is simply flat out fast. Ditto to the person who said they would like to check off many of these as "driven." How fun would that be? Thanks for a great post!
The corvette Z06 is listed at 198MPH. There have been several gps confirmed stock ones that have broken 200. The limiter kicks in at 205 but I dont know any that have hit that mark without mods. Check out corvette forum and you will easly find examples of stock ones that have hit 200.
I dont doubt that your example only hit 190 but I would be intrested in learning more about the conditions under which the run was done. Hot conditions and low atmospheric preassure can make a huge diffrence at those speeds
i think among of them cadillac cts-v is the best becos its to much smooth running car and nice thing is its steering wheel its too soft and smooth how i know becos i got one cts-v but 2007 hence its very fast i heard 09 has more horse than 07
and they make hard body for the crash too and other think when i drive it everybody look inside my car whos that and i also pulled over twice by the cops to check nacotics and crac becos none of young kid got it not even any whiote ash hole people so they pull over me
I wish I could own one of it.
This is a great list. I feel like there are porbably a couple of cars missing, but still great overall. It would also be great to see track times in addition to top speed.
Well I think the list is a great read.
Boo to all the complainers. There will always be variations.
As someone said already, Porsche 959 could be added. Was a great car about the same performance as the Ferrari F40.
What happened to the McLaren F1? It's top speed was 231mph...
The Mclaren is there in 7th with a top speed of 240mph.
Beautiful pictures. I better get cracking on some more hubs.
I think the term 'production' is used pretty loosely to describe some of these cars. I reckon the bugatti would trounce many others in terms of build quality and repeated performance. The SSC aero is pig ugly and was built to do one thing, break the top speed; no class, no passion, no integrity.
@:miguel - I will agree the Bugatti has probably got amongst the best build quality, of them all (being a Volkswagen) and yes, the SSC Aero isn't the prettiest thing in the world (but neither is the Gumpert Apollo!)
However, I would say havign been in one (sadly not driving it), don't underestimate the Koneigsegg CCXR, there amazingly well built and the level of finish is superb!
Lots of cars missing from here... Benzs, M6, etc...
Anyone who is saying they hit a certain speed themselves... speedos in production cars are only so accurate... u need to use navs,satellites, and radar to get a true correct speed.
Gotta admit having the M5 in the top 20 is sick... even if it really only does do somewhere in the 198 - 202 range. 7 Speed SMG is made for speed...
these speed are based of data logging equipement which runs of GPS, make the timings 100% accurate. I know some say there are some that go faster and slower, but sadly not every car off the production plant is 100% the same.
The M5 is a stupidly fast car, and of course you can it as an estate too! Why anyone would buy a Range Rover over the M5 eatate I don't know!
My favorite is the corvette zr1 for the money!!
The Ultima is a bargin for the speed it does! You could build one up for similar to the ZR1 and it'll be the worlds fastest accelarating and decelarating car!
http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/records/part6.html
And remember, it's 5 seconds faster round the topgear test track than the third placed Koniegsegg CCXR!
I think its amazing that Bentleys are on the list. Such luxary cars and yet so fast! most the other cars apart from the m5 are small cars barely big enough for 2 people!
Wow fantastic !! I thought the Veyron was the fastest ! how ignorant of the prescence of other almighties.
good job on the cars. wow everybody always picks out something wrong. Itsn't this and that supposed to be on the list, where's bla bla, or Wrong... who gives a shit if the list isn't perfect. good job
Areo is fastest but right behind it is bugatti and theres no doubt. look it up anyone
Thnx,,,its really cool
good shout, everyone is an expert at picking fault in someone elses work but I agree that people shouldn't be moaning about what isn't in this list as it is a really good job!
@ Slif: The Atom is the fastest in many respects, but not overall top speed. It is limited electronically, not only because of the laws in its native UK, but also because many components are not able to cope with the very high speeds on the list.
The lightweight tyres, for example, could shred at over 170-180! The heavier top rated tyres would increase unsprung and overall weight, and make it less of a driver car than it is. It beat many other cars around the TG track because of the mahoosive acceleration and cornering speed (0-100-0 MPH in <10s) this is a superior track car, but still not in the high speed leagues of the above.
C-bo
@C-bo - Totally agree with you about the Atom being a superior Track machine. The best track car out of the lot is the Ultima GTR though, beat the Koenigsegg by 5 seconds round the TG test track.
this is great to know. now where exactly, or what city here in the U.S. can I legally drive this sort of speed, short of a closed race track? what a waste of time and money, really.
Still comes down to what we the people can drive and enjoy...Love my 545sport Period....
@tennis pro - Yeah everyne will agree that short of moving to Germany for the (limited amount) of Autobahn that is de-restricted, there isn't anywhere to drive them except for a race track. But think about it from the owners of one of these cars, if you can afford to buy and run one, then you can afford to go to the odd track day.
brittanydavidson I could tell you how much the ssc is He is a friend of mine the car is built right here in my home town.I have been standing in the assembly line a few times with my jaw on the floor.These cars rock. they run the average purchaser about a modest six hundred thousand compared to the bugatti which is a mill and a half and the car is an awsom daily driver.Check out the video of jay leno about the SSC.He said it all in one statement(It represents AMERICA.Its American made.)Sorry Bugatti.Oh Ps.The SSC Remained aerodynamically stable at nasa's wind tunnell at a bit above 257MPH.He was limited to a two lane stretch of country highway by Guinness to get the world record.
what a fantastic hub
i am from India
this is great news
we needs these powerful speedsters- surprised?
our potholes and speed breakers will retard their speed considerably and make them move only at 60 kmph
and a bullock cart or araging auto might make them stop dead on their track
everyday driving is a rally for us
thanks
Thanks for the blog....just reading it made my right foot start to flex.
My Dad has a 911 Turbo and that should be fast enough for anyone...fun...fun...fun!
Oh yeah, 911 turbo is a great car.I want an 80's 911 turbo, but they are scary to drive fast, back end twitch while driving straight!
Out of all those German cars, the only ones that arent speed limited at 155 are the Porsches. God bless Ferry.
this one goes out to all ye car lovers:
ON I BURN
FUEL IS PUMPING ENGINES
BURNING HARD, LOOSE AND CLEAN
AND ON I BURN
CHURNING MY DIRECTION
QUENCH MY THIRST WITH GASOLINE
SO GIMME FUEL, GIMME FIRE
GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE.
keep the pedal to the metal!!!
I loved the Ultima GT-R640! It is a very beautiful car! Good Picks!!
Since when does the CTS-V go 191? Is this after removing the speed limiter like you would with the M5? If you are going to be doing this, why not post the top speeds of all the vehicles withthe speed governor removed. It would change your list substantially.
sure, the bugatti is probably the most expensive... but the rules that were set for the car was huge... had to be luxurious, fast, quite. a car you can drive through town, or take on a long vacation (if you can afford one of these, gas price is no object). and many other sets of rules that i dont remember. all the other cars that can do 230+ mph, they were made for the soul purpose of going fast.. sure their design might be stable at a higher air speed then the bugatti.. but all the major sports cars that can reach that speed, when they get up there it gets loud from the air flowing over it. vibrations start from vehicle rolling on the ground so fast. bugatti remains smooth at its top speed, and is still very quite.
if you stripped the bugatti clean, leaving the basic stuff the car needs to run, with out reducing anything that gives it, its erodynamics, or smooth ride.. i mean just taking stuff out, not replacing anything with the soul prupose of making the car lighter with out replacing anything... the bugatti could probably go faster then any of these other cars.. but then again, you wouldnt be able to listen to your favorite driving music while doing over 240 MPH.
the atom i would have to agree, it is the best track car... and it looks fun to drive to.. i would like to make my own version, but mine would use a porche 911 turbo engine/tranny, so i could have 4 wheel drive.
oh... google "smart car redesign" and click on the first link
Can you imagine hitting a pothole or a pebble at full speed in one of these babies? I wouldn't be worried so much about health insurance as I would life insurance at that point.
i like
I dont care if they are the 50 top slowest cars in the world, I would still be happy driving almost everyone of them!!
Is anyone forgetting the Bugatti Veyron?! Can do 253Mph. Should be up there really. Should never of been missed. Sort it out! Big Mistake.
This is an Awesome list, thanks for sharing!
@Ben - The Bugatti Veyron can do 254mph and sits in 4th place. No one forgot about it.
WOW! This is the greatest thing i've ever seen!! I'm gonna tell everyone I know about it starting right now! Fantastic hub, you deserve a medal for such a great list! Anyway I did notice you haven't got the Nissan GTR on the list, surely this machine would be a great candidate considering it has a top speed of 191mph?
SInce you list older cars, the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 could have been here-
Around 200 mph is amazing- but all these cars do that while being strapped to something akin to an Apollo capsule...
Except the Bentley.
Image 200 mph while sipping a goblet, listening to Stan Getz.........
I had no idea that the T1 was actually in production. I heard about when it caught fire and the problems they had with it on Top Gear so I thought that it was too unstable for production because of what happened. For me the CTS-V is what I am looking for. I heard that it now broke the 8 minute mark on the Nurburgring for a sedan.
awesome..thanks fo' the info...
I have an 06 M5 and it does 168 MPH with the limiter, I've verified on at least 5 occasions.
@Eljugador21 - Lucky you!
Is this only stock cars? Subaru should be up there.
No Subaru has a top speed of more than 185mph as standard.
OK maybe it is .. lol.. ignore my last statement.. .. MY FAVE IS THE FERRARI 599 GTB Fiorano
Fuckin ass this website is good one!
That is seriously sick stuff my man... Have to say my fav is the new skyline. Should get those car here in SA.
these cars are fracking amzing!
as a race care driver and a speed tester in italy \, the
Bugatti Veyron
has a problem with its intake and gear shifting but thats not really a big deal but the speed only reach 215mph, my bos and promoter bet that if i make it to 250 its mine and after 28 atemp in 84 miles straight i got one in 248 record and insisted to the the price and they agree. i have now this one and still trying to meke it - 253mph but maybe the problem is in me and my chest.
isnt the bugatti said to be the fastest accelerating prod. car? i knew it didnt have the highest top speed but i think it gets to its top speed faster then any other.
stupendous work..........great list and god pics... I must appreciate this hub... keep it up
Nice
i love this hub, you are great.All of them are beatiful cars..
Super!!!
esssss!! good
Some guy asked a while ago which car was the best comparing cost to speed, mileage, etc... I did a simple statistical analysis of 5 expensive cars (I forget which ones, it was a year ago) and found no coorelation between price and how much speed you get. I would say that's confirmed by the m5 and the CTS-V being on this list, and placing fairly high. With the M5 testing at 205 mph and costing about $90,000 and the Porsche Carerra GT at 209 mph and costing over $500,000, I will save almost half a million and gladly give up that measley 4 miles per hour. If you really want a bargain, get a CTS-V for $60,000!!! Plus, you can take more than one other person along to enjoy the ride! Yippee!!!
@Ian - I know what you mean, if I had the money I'd get the M5 estate, make so much more sense than pretty much any car on the market! Capable of over 200mph and enough room for the misses, the kids and the dog in the boot!
My local police force has 2 2008 M5 Esates marked up, wouldn't want one of them chasing me with the blue's and two's on!
I don't believe that the BMW M5 can do 205mph. Not even close. The Ferrari F50 only does 202, and the smaller, lighter, more aerodynamic , and MUCH more powerful ( by more than 100HP ) Corvette ZR-1 does 205. The number is wrong.
The BMW M5 does 205mph, google it and you'll see.
Not to be nitpicky, but the McLaren was my favorite car as a kid. the picture you show is of the McLaren F1 LM (Le Mans), and it's top speed was 225mph. Also, the top speed reached in an F1 was 243mph. The McLaren F1 is the fastest naturally aspirated production car, since it doesn't use forced induction like the cars ahead of it.
Year, great =)
I have linked it on my Website!
Thank you Marcel.
Good list of dream cars, but I'm not too sure on the accuracy.
have had a look at that Maximus G-force and its as ugly as sin! Would rather pocket the $3million and buy an old beetle/camper van n buy a few islands in the indian ocean.
if they are going to charge that sort of money, they need to invest in a team of car designers.
@ chris - the maximus G-force is actually the Ultima GTR with 1600BHP and a $3mil price tag. Where as the GTR is only abut $100,000 nd still comes in 9th at 231mph! Why would anyone spend $3mil on a Maximus I don't know!
And it's not production yet.
Wow. With the Ultimate Aero, you could drive from North Carolina to California in 8 hours. Wow!!!
Great Work! I love them all. How much fun it would be to have a race track to really have some tire spinning good times.
The Corvette ZR06 is probably the best bang for the buck out of all these fast cars.
Sorry, your list is WRONG and OUT-OF-DATE. There's a british T.V. show called Top Gear and on that show they take every car around their test track to see which car is fastest.
HERE'S THE CONSTANTLY UPDATED LIST
http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/powerlaps.shtml
Nice try though...
@Dan - I'm English and have been an avid fan of Top Gear going on for 10 tears now.
All that proves is how fast the car goes round their track, this goes on top speeds! There's a big difference.
Super!!!
Top speed isn't everything dear......
in this list, top speed is everything. and as far as a car that is the best bang for the buck... you want to look for a car that cant just reach these speeds, but also remain stable and quiet, sure the cadi can get up to speed... but there are other cars that remain more stable and more quiet. 200+ MPH doesnt mean shit with out control. and the cars that have the best control usually cost over 100k, because the extra effort was put into them to remain conrtolled.
the Bugatti is an amazing vehicle.. but it does require a special place to hit its top speed. you cant just get in it and go to a very long straight road to hit the record top speed. you get to the straight, you have a second key for the car, when you turn on what ill call the fast setting (forgot what its really called), the car lowers and a few other things happen. i forgot exactly what speed. but supposedly, in this mode when you get beyond a certain speed, if the SLIGHTEST thing goes wrong, the brakes come on, the car slows down. and its taken out of its top speed mode. from what im told.. but i have seen the top gear episode where captain slow did get it to its top speed.. so not to sure about it.
if you are wanting a fast car, and top speed isnt the everything to you... the atom is the best bang for its buck. its acceleration can beat out many many supercars down the quarter. there might be some cars that can go around a track quicker, but isnt nearly as fun in the corners. you feel every bit of the car's acceleration. its capable speeds in the turn is unreal.
if you want a fast car, speed isnt everything, and how it does on a track doesnt matter much to you... there is the M5 and the cadi, those 2 are both luxury cars that are very fast, they are roomy, comfortable. and both can be taken on long trips with out you having to worry about limited storage in the trunk.
if you dont care about any of this, and just want something beautifull.. get an Aston Martin. =D
@no one - I agree with everything you say. The only real problems I have persnaly with the Veyron, is the price, and the weight! I'm more of a light weight fan, so the Atom is such an appealing car!
Who really needs to go 200+ mph? Where can you do that? Where as a car set to 130mph but can get there in 5 seconds, now that would be a scream!!
oh... i recently found out about an M5 that can hit that speed. its the G-Power Hurricane M5. im not to sure on if its something BMW came out with on their own, or an outside company tweek't the car.. but its reported to do 224.
@ No One - Yeah it's an outside car, not even sure it went into production because it went through tyres like a F1 car.
Still, bl**dy hell that's a fast 4 door!!
I had my Yugo up to 73 mph one time. Then the doors fell off and the radio stopped working. But I was hauling ass and it was fun!
Uh, I always wanted a Diablo as a kid, it was my favorite.
I'm happy with my S2000 though.
really a nice panel of fastest cars
Some great info and some even better pics....the corvette can only muster 205 mph? Notice the lack of american cars up there?
Great list, a price tag on each would be better though
Very nice collection. Look at the Cadillac. Pretty impressive.
This is an awesome review! I know it really doesnt make much difference but the bentley continental gt can do 202mph if you use 5 star fuel. just thought i would add that. nice review again though! very interesting!
MrRee... that was funny! I now have dr pepper all over my screen lol. Hope you found the doors. Great list!
i'm glad someone has creamed ferrari. i just wish it were a cobra or corvette.
ultimate aero EV well done.I wonder what happened to Bugatti Veryon.But are great cars.
They are great cars. Thanks you.
Not to be nit-picky or anything, but that thing yall have been calling the "Speed Limiter" is called a Restrictor Plate. Just saying.
Unless of course you're talking about the CPU, which can also be programmed to limit the speed of the car.
Fantastic! This is the most up to date list i have ever seen, ableit a few mistakes. Ascari A10 is missing, some top speeds are out but overall you have done a great job. You have helped me learn things i didnt know. Like CCXR going faster than a Veyron. Thank you
You might mention the 8 wheel, 8 motor Japanese prototype electric car, the Eliica that did 230 mpg in 2005. It's 17 ft long and 5,300 lbs.
Even though the Eliica's top speed of 230mph is very impressive, it's not a production car but a prototype. If it ever goes into production, it would make it into the top 50, 10th with its current 230mph top speed and 5th if it hit its projected high of 250mph.
Verry good hub.
I will take the Porsche 9ff GT9 thanks.
but i thought bugati veyron is the second fastest car
i would rather have an Audi Quattro
Cost no object ... I'd take the Veyron. But since that isn't the case - I'll stick with the e39 M5 :)
Really enjoy the accuracy of this page you created. Do you plan to keep it going, or is it more or less a one time thing? Thanks for broadening the horizon of new super cars. Where is the 599XX?
think that the ferrari f50 is the prettiest car to 100mph, which is 6.0 seconds flat. the car looks so bad ass!
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt?bmw m5 can do 205 mph???OH MY F**KING GOD!!!what the f**k???
the fasted recorded lamborgini countach is 195.1
that puts paid to all those people who still think the bugatti veyron is the worlds fastest car....
I wonder how the Mark V (Speed Racer's car) would hold against this list...thanks...
vroom! vroom!
i think the bugatti did quite well but the ssc is definately the right thing for the best driver... the stig!
Great list. For the corvette to hang in the that group at it's price is really pretty impressive.
Awesome list!. I just drooled going over the list.
what about the Chrysler Me-4twelve? i know that does 200
@ Josh - The ME-4-12 was capable for 240mph! The problem was, it was only a concept and never went into production and this is a production car list!
Ok, so you already knew you would get some difference of opinions before you wrote this. Bravo for seeing it through. 2 comments I'd like to make all aware of.
1) The Jag. XJ220 testing was stopped when they crashed the 3rd car doing 220 plus in a test. Once the testing was stopped all agreed that the Jag not been pushed to its limits. So, the final tally on what the Jag was capable of will never be known unless you are a fortunate individual to have purchased 1 for the ridicules price of $1m plus once Jag sold them off.
2) The thrill of speed is only relevant when a factor of danger is applied. So these tests were completed on a mild course with little to no factor of danger involved. Case in point. Try running 150mph in a Mustang GT against a Audi IRS5 on an interstate with mild traffic. I think you get my drift.
What about the B-Engineering Edonis? (look it up)
@Some Guy - Because according to Wiki, they only plan on building 21 cars and to be classed as a production car they have to produce a minimum of 35.
I have been fortunate enough to see both the Corvette ZR1 and Z06 up close and in person at the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Two months ago Governor Steve Breshear made the Corvette the "Official Car" of the state of Kentucky. Hopefully General Motors will look at this gesture as a positive sign that the Commonwealth of Kentucky appreciates their choosing to make Bowling Green their home for many years to come.
Great article, really surprised at the M5. Such a classy car.
According to my list :-
Toyota Fortuner
Honda Civic
SSC Ultimate Aero
Bugatti Veyron
I 10
Don;t say it is boring!!!!
It seems that most people are forgetting that the SSC can actually reach speeds up to 272 mph but the team has not gone that far and may I mention that the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is the only car that can drive (theoretically) upside down? I think the SS7 tt is the best car hands down.
Also, the BMW m5 CANNOT reach speeds of 205, it's top speed is 195 without a speed limiter because of the shape of it's body.
The Bugatti's 253 mph is unofficial -.-
4 cars chased me the other day
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is officially faster than the SSC Ultimate Aero though in in theory Aero is faster
I like the saleen the best
good reserch like the list. just think the veyron is so boring, its like the machester united of the car world! so many gtlory supporters lol. gimme a dodge viper srt10 acr anyday (and its not on the list lol) top speeds good n all, but we all know half them cars would handle like dogs. sorry im just winging now haha good list!
wow this is an awsome list
the fastest car in the world is the ThrustSSC and it holds the World Land Speed Record, set on October 15, 1997, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first land vehicle to officially break the sound barrier, not considering the earlier, unsubstantiated claim of the Budweiser Rocket.
I love this article so much. Soooo Many Gorgeous cars. I hope I didn't miss it but where did the Audi RS6 Come on this list. I recently just did an article on the RS6 I thought it might be one of the fastest. Especially for a station wagon with two twin turbos.
Great Article!
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is a fantastic car
Thanks for nice hubs.
Really amazing. Seems like Ferrari has many cars in this list. Anyways, my personal favorite is Bugatti.
That Bently Continintal is the only one of them all I could get in...lol.I love that car!!
I like the Dodge Viper and Porsche Carrera GT the most :) Unfortunately, I can't have any of them...
I liked looking through this list and was suprised by many of these cars but i have to admit if i made a top 50 fastest half of these cars would not even get into the list. There are hundreds of cars that do over 200mph now so to include cars under 200mph is kind of misleading.
But good list though :D
no one has mentioned the Bugatti EB110?
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport......now thats a hyper-car......257,856MPH (431KMH)
Ofcourse thats the averahe speed....not the top....
Very well done article. The Bugatti has reclaimed its speed record with its new Super Sport model, average speed of 267 MPH. I was probably most impressed by the Cadillac CTS-V 191 MPH car and its probably the cheapest car on this list.
I would have thought the Zonda would have been faster though, but i bet the Zonda has the best track time of any car on this list. The Gumpert may give the Zonda and run for it.
the new bugatti veyron did 431 kmph
1.The fastest Supercar Maxium Speed is Dagget Gt #1 model is Mfg too! Worlds top of the Class to is first Class is:#1 too! A Model is Supercar Fastest Supercar is number one First in line too! Top Speed is tested at 300+ Miles Per Hour too! The,New Club 300 Miles Per Hour too! will Begin very soon too! Or 476 Kl/n Miles per hour + too!
@ David P Curcione - It's still a prototype and not a production car! So until it's proven to do 300mph+ it's not going to go on the list!
what cool cars i wish i had one
the fastest car is the melling hellcat
1217 horsepower
top speed: +270MPH
@ Evan - Yeah, but the Melling is a concept car and not a production car and that is a THEORETICAL 270mph top speed!
Give me the Lamborghini Gallardo LP anyday!
I really like the Dodge Viper and Porsche Carrera GT the most :) Unfortunately, I can't have any of them...
I cant belive some poeple still say the bugtti veron is the words fastest car
its gona be 2012 ssc aero
I ment worlds
shut up i thought bv was the fastest car in the world
My Corsa Sport with a LET init would beat all them cars easy. I've spent £20k making it faster and better than all them!
awesome #19!!!
Just as late comment. My M5 is limited. Limitation boarder is 209 mph on speedometer.
the caparo is road legal but the frontend is so far down you would rip it of on a speed bump
Some people just can believe or accept the speed of the M5. Check its drag coefficient against some sports cars and you will see why. Additionally it has the engine to do it. Quit the disbelief and just accept that BMW have a master vehicle in the M5. Quit the bias and acknowledge reality.
awesome article thanks for the infos :D
Bugatti Veyron SS holds a Guiness World Record of 267mph!!!!!
@ Jake, yes the Veyron SS does 257mph (limited) or 267mph unlimited, however, it's not actually in production yet and this is a production car list therefore it doesn't count until it's in production.
This is the real list of fastest cars in world...
naa its old but the ssc is better than the bugatti even though its the fastest car in the world right now
All of this is wrong- the fastest road legal- including racing cars- is the new Mosler MT900 it will be made in about 2012-2013 and it goes over 300mph
@ Anoying Thing - Ok, well here is two things wrong with what you have said. Firstly, the new Mosler isn't out until next year so how can it be a production car?? And secondly, the predicted top speed on that car will be on slick tyres which are NOT road legal. On road legal tyres, it will be at least 10% less than that stated. I also can't find any reference on the net to a Mosler capable of 300mph.
Oh, and you might think this list is anNoying, but spelling anNoying wrong is more anNoying!
I've never heard of the SSC Ultimate. 257 mph? That is close to the Bugatti and after reading some comments it matches it but "production car" is what you are after. I am sure that is the Veyron's target to surpass now.
Why hasn't some celebrity been seen in one of these?
I think it is b/c we pretty much know the price of a Bugatti to be $1mil and it just looks expensive. I personally will always love Lamborghinis. We've seen a few in the Bugatti
well personaly I dont think celebritys appreciate speed as much as flash
Just to comment on anoying things comment wasnt this list made a few years ago? The Mosler wasnt even anounced till just recently Not to mention ITS NON EXISTANT!!! any way good list might want to add the new Revento if ur still editing this list O and the Veyron price is 1.7 mill to bad u have to go to a special drive school to upgrade and buy the world record addition not that it would matter much but still
on the comment above i ment to say Rventon
God I cant spell for s**t REVENTON D**m
go bugatti
Great article. But, if I remember correctly, the new record holder for fastest production car is the Bugatti Veyron Supersport, at close to 268 miles per hour. I could be wrong, though.
@ Mr Fox - Correct, the Veyron SS is faster at 267 mph but it isn't in production yet (and the tyres they set the record on aren't standard. When it goes into production, it will become the top of the list, well, as long as there isn't some new car out there!
very interesting read!
where is Mclaren Mp4-12C
@Hamza - It isn't in production yet, same as the Bugatti Veyron SS.
why the hell SSC is the fastest??!?!?!?! Bugatti HAS REACH 267mph!!! look
http://www.thesupercars.org/fastest-cars/fastest-c
look at this!
@ ImWhoIam - The Bugatti Veyron SS isn't currently in production so when it does the list will be updated. A car cannot be a production car if it's not yet in production.
when will the bugatti start the production?
@cars-knower - The SS is due to go into production with the first car being delivery sometime after summer 2011. There were rumours that it was being brought forward but I haven't heard anything to confirm that.
Need to update: bugatti veyron supersport is actually the fastest car in the world. And you should include the pagani zonda R. Other than that , nice job.
@mar o - As mentioned in the comment above, the SS isn't in production yet and will be later this year.
Yes the Pagani Zonda R is ridiculously fast and down right gorgeous, and yes it is technically a production car, but it isn't road legal, in fact, it isn't even track legal due to the noise from the exhaust!
@WHoArtNow You seem to know quite a bit about this list. Do you know how may cars you have to make in order for it to be a production car? I think it is 35, but I'm really not sure.
@Brett Thompson - Europe and the USA require a minimum of 36 cars in a single 12 month period to be classified as a production car. At that point, they need to pass safety and emission standards so it becomes more expensive. A lot of the small hyper cars (Pagani and Koeingsegg for example) will never make more than 35 in a year to save money on testing.
Great article.I really love fast running cars.Great information for me and others.I love it
ooooooooooooooo man ssssssssuuuuuuuuppppppppppeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbbbb
Lamborghini GT is a sharp looking car.
1.The Fastest Supercar is:Mosler MTB GXX No#2 Car was Built too! Short While ! the First Place of the top ten Cars too! The top Speed is 390 Miles Per Hour too!
What about thwe ferrari 458 or the Mercedes sls AMG?
^I meant "the"
Where is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
mercedes benz is the best
what about the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport?!?!?!
yall must really not have a life who cares about these cars yall are all idiots, get a life!!!!!!!!
For the 35th fastest car in the world, the Audi r8 v10 costs about 150,000 dollars. Is this a good deal considering an Aston Martin is around 300,000 dollars, and the comparable ferarri and Lamborghini models are also more money? Im just looking at their top speed and the Audi is cheapest
in other sites 2 fastest car is Number 2 ( 256 mph/412 km/h ) - SSC Ultimate Aero TT
I like Jaguar that car was going to 218 km/h and it was slower than the last one that I saw earlier.
thats wrong, (SSC)ultimate aero is the third fastest n the bugatti veyron is the 1st fastest Koenigsegg CCXR is 2nd fastest
the have these cars built up Chris you daom
SSc ultimate arro is not the fastest. Bugatti has made the new Veyron SS wich is over 260 mph
bugatti is the second fastest car in the world
i like the ultimate areo best
at Chris,the M5 does 205mph with ease ok eventhough its a five passenger car but don't forget its a BMW for god sake and its even better and faster than the ordinary 5 series.What do u have to say about the five passenger Bentley Flying Spur speed of 200?Is that possible?Cause if it is then there's no need to doubt the BMW M5 ok.
like the sick cars
what the hec the the ccxr is slower than the bugatti
Anyone notice that half this page is comments?
WRONG...
you forgot lamborghini reventon given 205 mph
Ferrari 599 GTO given 209 mph
Porsche Panamera Turbo S (2012)gevin 190.1 mph
a bad collection
HEY,THE FIRST FASTEST CAR IS Bugatti Veyron Super Sport NOT THE SSC Ultimate Aero!!!!!!!!!
Again, doesn't anyone notice how many cooments are on this page?
1. The Dagget Gt Supercar: top Speed is 315 Miles Per Hour too! Member of 300 Miles Per Hour to 390 Miles Per Club is offical in the U.S.A. It new Members Super cars will hit top Speed of 300 Miles+Per Hour or more too!
1. The Next Supercar is: Mosiler MTB GXX Car will hit the top Speed of 375 Miles Per Hour too! The Car is the Fastest Supercar in the World to true! Is First Place of top 4 Supercar Will Hit Speed of over 300 + Miles Per Hour to true!!
This guy has said over and over and OVER again, once the Bugatti Super Sport becomes a PRODUCTION CAR then he will update the list......
I want to know the top 100 list of fastest cars in the world
I LIKE PORSCHE THE PORSCHE CAR IS NICE THE PORSCHE WILL
LAUNCH ITS FASTEST CAR SOON. NAME 918rsr its look very nice and its very fast i also like other brands like

i say buggati veyron supersport is the worlds fastest car
Whoever wrote this article is a good damn idiot.

@David ,c'mon...are the cars u said legaly?give me a proof!!!WhoArtNow told that thousends of times!!!he told also that bugatti veyron ss is the fastest car ,but the 1st one wasn't delivered yet...no human has it-at the time,the cars's owner is the bugatti company owned by wolskwagen
after you put the bugatti veyron on the 1'st place,wait for the Koenigsegg Agera R to be launched with apx. 275 mph (442.569 km/h)
i cant believe the Bugatti is number 4 that's sad i actually thought that is was the fastest car
1. The Umlimmited Arrow Supercar: is the Fastest Car for now ! Top Speed is 280 Miles Per Hour too!
wheres pagani zonda r
poor bugati
the new bugatti veyron supersport hits 267.865 mph but is electronically limited to 257
i dont understand why dont they listed lexus lfa & mazda furai,they are also 200+ mph car....
I wonder how can you say that Bugatti is not fastest..

I think the mercedes sls beats the bmw m5
BMW M5 DOESNT GO 205 IT ONLY GOES 150
VERY NICE CARS THUMS UP :)
Wot bout the veyron super sport and zenvo st1 they can do 200 mph+ and venom gt

ssc areo my ass the buggatti veyron ss is second with 282without a limiter right behind the dagger gt which goes supposedly 280+ and the buggatti goes 268 but is electronically limited to 253
Failure- the bugatti veryon is the fastest car in the world
Almost as fast as me

PANNCHODO KANJERO JUT LIKNAY HO
Nice list and some good pics! I would like to see a list of fastest production cars. Cars like the Gumpert and Ultima are cool but they are not mass produced cars.
You Forgot my favorite car, KOENIGSEGG AGERA R it goes 260 miles per hour
where are the latest lamborghinis mucialargo lp 670-4 sv which can hit 214 and lamborghini avantador which can hit 217?!?
they were wrong the corvette should of been tied with the mclairen because the top speed is 240
I think the Koenigsegg Agera R is the fastest car-it does 265+ mph.
Where is the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione?
what about tramontana ss with the 720hp(not limited at 500)
@Carlover,the agera r isn't in production yet...otherwise,it would be faster than the bugatti veyron ss
Are you all retarded? The Bugatti veyron SS is the fastest car in the world. No car can beat it. Go look up your facts first. And no the agera is not faster or going to be. Even if someone comes out with a car that is. Bugatti is always going to be able to one up it. Plus weres the porche GT3 RS?
what about the konigsegg agera r the bugatti veyron super sport lambo aventador this is crap list
o
1. The Supercar is Street Lrgal Can hit Top Speed of 350 Miles Per Hour too ! Unlimited Arrow#4! Will Be Built soon! agreed!
