Top 10 Fastest Cars in the World
So here we are, the list of the top 10 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.
Update: I’d like to clarify that this list only includes production cars. I’ve had a lot of comments mentioning the Lingenfelter Corvette, etc being faster, but that ultra-fast Vette is not in production. I’d also like to clear up that this list was created on March 30th, 2007.
The SSC Ultimate Aero has since broken the record as the fastest production car in the world, and I plan to address this in my next list. Be sure to subscribe to the Automoblog RSS Feed or free email newsletter to stay up-to-date.
Bugatti Veyron
Top Speed: 252.2 mph
1001 Horsepower
No surprises here, the fastest and most powerful production car ever makes the top of the list. I wonder when Koenigsegg will decide to take the #1 position and beef up the CCX.
Koenigsegg CCX
Top Speed: 250 mph
900 Horsepower
As I said above, I expect Koenigsegg to take the number one spot eventually; those crazy Swedes aren’t fooling around.
Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo
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.
McLaren F1
Top Speed: 240.14
620 Horsepower
Can you believe this? The McLaren F1 was made in 1994, 13 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
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
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
Top Speed: 215 mph
602 Horsepower
Yes, I know this is a picture of the Roadster, not the Zonda F. With Pagani’s new Zonda R on the way, the Zonda might be creeping up on this list faster than Bugatti can say “We need bigger turbos.”
Lamborghini Murcielago
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
Top Speed: 209 mph
605 Horsepower
Porsche’s fastest, most attractive (and most expensive) car to date comes in at #9.
McLaren Mercedes 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. Pagani has the Zonda R in the works, and Koenigsegg is working on another, faster car.

ssc is the FASTEST PRODUCTION CAR in the world but the bugatti is 2nd
my dear bro in the world fastest car is-:SSC Ultimate Aero EV- world’s fastest electric car
where is gallarado
gallardo is a load of rubbishthere just a waist of money they break down so easy and all the time i know some one who has one
no doubt about buggati ?
this is wrong bugatti is not he fastest the ssc is the fastest car in the world
I dont say that the Bugatti is not an extremelly fast car, but the SSC Ultimate Aero has 257 MPH and the bugatti has 254, and I think three numbers ahead might make difference in a race.
i love koennigsegs!
lets have a vote
say the car either ssc altimate aero or bugatti
say one of them lets see wich one gets the most
I appreciate you people who made this list but there are some other cars like the 911 gt1 which should also be in the list.
i would want to oppose the list above because barabus TKR SHOULD be ranked first position in the world.its acceleration is from 0-60 in 1.67 secs.Top speed 270 MPH.THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ferrari,Lamborghini,Koenigsegg,Saleen,Mclaren,Porsche and Bugatti are going to throw SSC into the dust
actually, you missed the ssc ultimate aero TT, i know its just a Ford but it is the fastest car in the market, it could reach 256 mph if im not wrong, what i do know is that its only 4 or 5 mph faster than the veyron
it dosent matter if the ssc is 1 mile faster or 10000000000 miles faster.it is atleast 4-5 miles faster and it would make a difference in a race
The Ferrari Enzo replacement has been revealed not unveiled.It is none other than the F70. Ferrari said this car will have Twin Turbo Charged V8 Porwerplant producing 660 hp and weighs just 1000 kg (2200 lbs) with good power to weight ratio it will be more focused,faster,smaller and lighter than the Enzo.It’s production is also limited to 399 cars at around 1million dollars when it goes sale in 2012.It also has been hailed Bugatti Veyron beater.It going to be Ferrari’s most advanced and fastest production car ever made by them also aiming for top speed record.The will never back down they are the best.
the bugati is fast but it is a car youd see hot chicks driving and what kind of jackass would by a car for 1.8 fucin million dollars dam it
i love the lamborghini murcielago it is so sick
who is underistimating bugatti veyron it is the fastest car of them all it has 1oo1 hp and 407.738 kmp and 253 mph I have owened this car for 1,764,907 million.
murcelago is in the list…bt the high end model of lambhorghini —reventon is not there…whoever made this list is a fool…
Rehan, this list was made before the Reventon came out. You’d have known that had you read the article.
Hey actualy the fastest car in the world is
Dude, there is not “slowest car in the world” but the fastest car is the Barabus TKR, the the SSC Ultimate Aero then the Bagutti… But the ssc has the Best body kit…
Dude you’re all wrong!! The fastest production car is the Weber Faster One that can do 260mph!! Beat that!
Weber Faster one does 260mph and its in production
No doubt McLaren F1 is the fastest.
i dont think these cars could go past 10mph my car would beat them any day 2010 mustang gt
