VCars brings up a list of the top 10 fastest production cars in the world, ranked by top speed. I’ll go over the list briefly, but be sure to visit VCars’ list for more info and pictures. 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 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.

what is the slowest car in the world??????

[…] Common sense. Is there really any production car that can go 167 mph? That is a NASCAR speed. If the car was going 167, how were the police able to catch the perpetrator? Their cars won’t go anywhere close to that speed. It would take Tony Stewart in the Home Depot Chevrolet to catch someone at that speed. Okay, so maybe the guy had one of these cars, but I kind of doubt it. […]

Dude whoever added the Bugati Veryon your wrong the bugati Can go over 402kmh . Its stopped by the speed limit set in the car

course theyre electronically limited… if they werent the engine would overheat and the car would explode…

Can you give us some info on the Lamborghini Concept S, a new prototype, i think if we both try and work on it we can get more info. i already know that it has a V10 303 displacement cu and 500 HP with and 369 Torque with all wheel drive.

U missed out the gumpert

hey! u missed out the gumpert apollo, which should be in the 4th or 5th place. also the brabus tkr which supposedly is the fastest car in the world…

Have you ever seen the DEORA II? If not look it up right now, it’s this sweet truck that can additionaly come with surfboards secured on the trunk, this truck has a spoiler that goes towards the cabin. My Dad thinks one of these would cost $500,000.00.
who could afford that?!

the brabus tkr is only supposedly the fastest car in the world, it hasnt actually been tested and proved yet. Whereas the bugatti has been proved to reach its top speed. If i said my car can do 270 mph then that doesnt mean its true, i doubt the brabus will be able to top 250

this the good cars. i like toyota cars. i like nissan cars. i think nissan skyline is fastests car with sunroof and spoiler. 2 liter engine can get chicks.

what is this ranking na? no nissan skyline also na?!!

if u want to see really good cars go to www.fastcoolcars.com
or just go to google and type car websites.
1 of my fav is www.supercars.net
it has what ever car u want to look up try it out!!!

[…] There are plenty of great supercar wallpapers out there to adorn your computer’s desktop, but the style of these wallpapers rarely change. Fortunately, Vcars.co.uk has created some great unique Supercar wallpapers, based on their 10 Fastest Production Cars in the World article that I featured, as well as many other great wallpapers of the same design that include some other popular vehicles like the Mustang, Nissan Murano, Honda Civic Type-R, BMW, etc. Each one of the supercar wallpapers features it’s own screensaver too, and most of the other makes of cars do as well. […]

You guys say the Bugatti can only reach 252 mph but it can actually reach 258 mph if it wasnt electronicly limited. But even if it is limited it can still reach 253 mph!

hehe, you guys are right, the Veyron can go faster than the 252mph given, but we’re going on manufacturer specs here, as always. They set the speed limiter to 252mph for a reason, like makof98 said a few comments back.

the shelby aero is now the fastest car, with a recorded top speed of 256 mph.

cop cars arn’t allowed to chase you if you are going over 70 in the city limits

Hi Z, thanks for the comment. 70mph seems a bit low. While it is true that many police now have rules where they can’t chase you if you’re going too fast, it varies depending on what region you’re in. If them chasing you would be considered too dangerous to civilians around, they won’t chase you, but I’ve been chased while I was going 86 in a 55 before. Nasty fine, btw.

Bugatti Veyron - fast and ugly

[…] Wanna take a ride? [link] […]

@ makof98: Acctually, they’re limited because the tires they come with are not rated for such high speeds. there limited so that the driver doesn’t drive so fast as to have the tires implode on him.

Now let’s say you were speeding in your Bugatti - why would the cops need to chase you? They simply look up who in the area owns one (there aren’t that many of any of the cars on this list owned in the average neighbourhood) and sit waiting in front of your house until you get home…

What about
http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html

HAH! YOU ARE WRONG… # 1 spot goes to SSC.
SSC Ultimate Aero sets new “World Fastest Production Car” record
256.15 mph.

http://www.gizmag.com/go/8072/

DNA: I wrote this article on March 30th 2007; way before the SSC broke the record. I’d like to do an updated list next year.

Joe: The Dodge Tomahawk is awesome, but: 1. It’s not a car, and 2. It’s not a production vehicle.

DNA beat me to it.
Wikipedia even reflects this based on the Guinness World Records
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron

Here’s the other article: http://www.shelbysupercars.com/press.php#guinness

@jeeza: The speed shown in here is being displayed in MILES per hour, not kilometers. 252.2mph is the same as 405.8kph which is the number you are arguing over.

What no Lamborghini Reventón on this list?

Chad Wick: Because the Reventon was not released when this article was written.

BAD RESEARCH… THEY FORGOT FORD GT WITH 220 MPH.

Callaway Sledgehammer? … this list sucks.

R1: The Ford GT’s official top speed (production model) is 205mph, falling in just below the SLR - source

anthony: Callaway Sledgehammer is not a production model, just like the Lingenfelter Corvette isn’t. Please read the article before making judgements like that on the quality of the list. It was well-researched.

This list is completely false! My 1990 Geo Prizm is the fastest car in the world! Get you facts straight, buddy!

two McLarens in the top 10!! Ferrari, in smoke pipe it your stick it and!

what is the slowest car in the world??????. smooth question…

What about the Ultima GTR?
This is a production car with a top speed of 231mph.

It also famously holds the world record for a zero-100mph-zero run at 9.4secs, as well as several other records.

So funny. Driving any of these cars would be like taxiing a fighter jet through traffic.

Everyone - Last week in DIGG the Gumbert Apollo was named fastest car and it is. i actually think that the Veyron is 3rd fastest now!

The slowest car in the world I believe was the Metropolitan granted you don’t include cars that were available before go fast technology was available.
I think this car had something like a 15 second 0-60 time

Thats not much different to a Land rover defender!

Top 10 Fastest Cars in the World…

If you’re talking about cars in ‘production’ you need to remove the Carrera GT and the XJ220. the Lingenfelter is in more of a ‘production’ state than those two

Works well with the 30mph limit on roads in the neighborhood…

JB: Perhaps we have two different definitions of “production.” While the definition is arguable, “production” cars have to be created and sold by the manufacturer - Strike one against the Lingenfelter. Strike two: the car has to be unmodified by anyone except the manufacturer. The Lingenfelter is extremely modified, and it wasn’t Chevy who did it.

Im sorry but the fastest car is the 1972 Voxel Electra with 2,200 HP but if you still doesn’t believe me try Barabus TKR

Im sorry but the fastest car is the 1972 Voxel Electra with 2,200 HP but if you still doesn’t believe me try Barabus TKR

The Voxel Vectra is a one-off (not production,) and the Barabus TKR is not yet in production either

So if your definition of production is unmodified other than by the manufacturer, the McLaren Mercedes SLR is out seeing as the McLaren tuning house does the finishing touches. It also disqualifies the various AMG and Brabus variants that easily top the SLR’s speed. There’s also the RUF Yellow Bird (208MPh), Ultima GTR 640 (231, higher with taller gearing) and the Bugatti EB110 (210, maybe a couple more for the GT, 217 for the crazy SS). All production cars, all faster than the SLR, none on this list. I think this is more like the “Top ten fastest production cars that my mother has heard of”.

Si: McLaren and MB manufactured this car together, it wasn’t outsourced to a third-party.

The RUF is built from a Porsche by a third-party tuning house, how could you even try and include that one?

The Ultima GTR is 1.) Built on top of a Chevy, and 2.) Built individually by customers who requested one. Not production.

However, you’re right about the Bugatti. It was a production model, and had a top speed equal to the Carrera GT, and even higher for the SS model. Congrats on pointing out the first qualifying car that I missed.

pretty sad really , when you realize the 1970 dodge daytona charger did 200.447 mph in 1970!!! and 3740 lbs almost 2 tons!!
, doesnt make the bottom 3 look all that technologically advanced

[…] Egon at www.AutomoBlog.net lists the fastest cars .  Recognize all of these names? Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Saleen, McLaren, Ferrari, Jaguar, Pagani, Lamborghini, and Porsche. Impress your girl with 252 mph. […]

Beautiful cars. I’m still in love with the XJ220.
>> Dude whoever added the Bugati Veryon your [sic] wrong the bugati Can go over 402kmh . Its stopped by the speed limit set in the car”
Do the math - 402kph/1.6093 (approx.) = 249.8mph
So you are correct. The quoted speed of 252 is above 402kph.

Great List!! I must admit for the money my ZO6 at 184mph is a screaming deal and should be worth at least an asterisk note at the bottom. But I will look forward to your next publication.

Los 10 Autos más rapidos del mundo…

Listado de los 10 autos más rapidos del mundo, acompañados por su imagen. Aparecen marcas como: Ferrari, Jaguar, Mc Laren, Honda, Lamborghini….

Dude Your wrong Bugatti does 208 @ top. And The engine in the ccx already fills its engine bay if they beef it up they’ll have to re-build the whole car.

hey phillip! these cars are sweet which is your favorite?

I thought I heard somewhere that the Mutsubishi LAncer was the fastest production car. Though I figured there had to be more to it, anyone heard of this?
Also, Ruf and SLR are third-party tuners, AMG is part of Benz.

I thought I heard somewhere that the Mutsubishi LAncer was the fastest production car. Though I figured there had to be more to it, anyone heard of this?

Perhaps in it’s class, but I couldn’t see it going further than that.

Koenigsegg ccx owns over all cars!!

lookat the acura nsx with the viel body kit and it looks like a ferrari enzo with lambo doors

are there any bugatti veyron in New Zealand? and how much would one cost?

I’m partial to the SLR overall but I’ve got to tell you the Saleen runs a close second in my book. I also hear their new turbos are capable of more than twice the boost in production today so expect them to contend in the 260+mph record setting arena.

any one no why they have not tested the Barabus TKR

can someone give me a car as a gift? i am crazy for one
….joking. just wanted to say that the bugatti is my favourite one !

What do you think is best overall Ferrari or Lamborghini?

I read on a book ( published not to long ago) about the Mclaren being the second fastest car in the world with a speed of 249Mphs.

dont forget about the Maserati mc12, that matches the Saleen in top speed

javier: It really depends on your preference and what you’re looking for. Personally, my favorite Ferrari is the 360 Spider, and favorite Lambo is the Diablo 6.0 VT. As far as performance though, so far the fastest Ferrari is the FXX Evoluzione, but it’s not a road car, just track.

i still believe the enzo can go faster than all of this cars

koenigsegg rules! its the best car i have ever seen in my entire 11 years!

isn’t the Barabus TKR the fastest car in the world

isn’t the Barabus TKR the fastest car in the world

It’s still a concept car, it’s not in production.

i think slr can be faster but the weight is to heavy.

Good list. I like it. But there are also Weineck Cobra and Barbarus TKR , but these not production cars. On my website sportscar-official.com there is also a list of 85 fastest cars in the world.

DUUU the slowest car in the world is the toyota corrola!! how many times have you gotten stuck behind those crapy turtles!

Egon, I’ve heard of the muistibishi lancer, I just can’t rember waht I heard, I thout it was supposedly the fastest car in the world

Egon, I’ve heard of the misubishi lancer, I just can’t remember what I heard, I thought it was supposedly the fastest car in the world

The Lancer? Not quite. The Lancer Evo is a quick car, but it’s just a normal road car, I’m sure you’ve seen them around: http://www.mitsubishicars.com/.....8/index.do

The slowest car in the world is a russian car called Zaparozec

if you make it of 07 then it will be Bugatti,CCX,Chrysler Me 4-12, Mclaren F1,Lambo Reveton and some more cars

hey people, you keep on saying that the bugatti veyron is the fastest car but is it really on roads with lots of corners such as a verry cornerful race track? All I’m saying is it’s a verry heavy car and that means more inertia, can’t that makes it slower on race tracks?

I dig the Lamborghini Murcielago. It should be the next batmobile!

Great List and im tired of people saying the barbarus trk. ITS NOT A PRODUCTION CAR AND ITS NEVER BEEN TESTED. My favorite car on the list is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and my favorite overall is the Lamborghini Reventon.

Bugatti veryon isn’t the fastest car in the world. its SSC Ultimate Aero 257mph made by americans

I know that veli, this post was made way before the SSC broke the record. Please see this post for an update: http://www.automoblog.net/2007.....ck-update/

[…] Back in March I wrote a post listing the 10 Fastest Cars in the World. It was hugely popular (and still is,) but I’ve received so many comments telling me that the list isn’t accurate anymore. I plan to do another comprehensive post on this in the future, but for now here is a quick update on the fastest production cars in the world, ranked by top speed. On the last post, I also received a lot of comments about cars such as the Lingenfelter Corvette being faster. Just like the last list, this is only for production cars: […]

The Bugatti Veyron may no longer be the world’s fastest car. Today — following a number of teasers and leaks — Barabus officially unveiled the TKR: a new 1005 horsepower supercar the automaker says is capable of doing zero to 60 mph in 1.67 seconds. What’s more, the car reportedly has a top speed of 270 mph — nearly 20 more than the Veyron. Power comes from a 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers. The car has a full carbon fibre body and chassis. Further details remain sparse, but the automaker says it will sell the car for £360,000, which should translate to around $500,000, using typical automotive market conversion rates.

isn’t the ssc ultimate aero faster than the bugatti veyron

There is also a new hennessy viper thats faster than the veyron, i know that its not soley manufacturer mods but it still is. There is also the new Lingenfelter C6 Z06 twin-turbo too, but like i said, these are not production cars, i just wanted to point them out.

The best car all over the world is Koenigsegg CCXR its last model,it beats Bugatti Veyrons record.It has 1018 hp,and its redline,i mean top speed is 420+ km/h.Now get your choise,dont you think that KOENIGSEGG CCXR is the best car?

where is the aero ssc at?

Wind tunnel testing indicates that the Ultimate Aero could theoretically reach a top speed of 273 mph (439 km/h) given appropriate transmission gear ratios, although the supplied transmission would result in 260 mph (418 km/h) at the car’s redline.

last entry’s credit is given to info provided by wikipedia

Here are other comparison charts for world’s fastest and quickest cars ever produced:
http://carspector.com/chart/fastest/
http://carspector.com/chart/quickest/

Ok so you people think that the JAGUARXJ220 is really grate, But to me it is ugly.I think that the Lamborghini Murcelago looks better , and I think its faster too.

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the fastest car in the world

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the world’s fastest production car to date not the Bugatti Veyron…get it right…do some research…or better yet here I’ll do it for you since it takes all of 2 seconds…to the author of this article…you lose.

UNK, Tyler, and all the other than keep saying the SSC is the fastest car in the world. I know this, look at when the post was made - March of 2007 - before the SSC broke the record. So read the full post before you make yourself look stupid.

Here’s an update we did in November about the fastest cars - http://www.automoblog.net/2007.....ck-update/

There you’ll see the SSC as being in first.

THE NEW ZR1 IS ONE OF THE FASTEST IN THE ABOVE MENTIONE LIST.

The Bugatti Veyron is heck of fast! and it rocks…

my best is bugatti veryron like everybody else

I’m pretty sure that hte SLR would not make the list if the Ultima GTR was list here and the Buggati Veyron would not stand a chance against it as well

Check out the Tesla Roadster. All electric car at 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds. 300 miles per charge. All 2000 of the 2008 models are sold at $99,999 but the higher volume 2010 models will be reduced to only $44,999.

these are superb.thanks to the companies who just made them.
