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. Keep in mind this list only includes production cars. I’ve had a lot of comments mentioning faster cars, which aren’t actually in production.
Last update to this list: December 8, 2010
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Top Speed: 268 mph
1200 Horsepower
Not to let SSC’s Ultimate Aero supercar keep Bugatti in second place for long, the French supercar company slapped bigger turbos and intercoolers on their previous world record holding Veyron to produce a seriously impressive 1200 horsepower. The Veyron SS still houses the same 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, but now produces 200 more horsepower. To handle the extra speed and power, Bugatti also had to revise the chassis and suspension. Only 30 Veyron Super Sport models are expected to be produced. Interestingly, the 30 cars sold to the public will be electronically limited to “only” 258 mph.
SSC Ultimate Aero
Top Speed: 256 mph
1183 Horsepower
Boutique supercar maker Shelby Super Cars (SSC) unleashed the Ultimate Aero in 2007, destroying the more expensive Bugatti Veyron’s top speed record. The car in question was a 2007 model – since then, SSC has upgraded the Aero to include an all-new twin-turbo V8 engine (half the size of the Veyron,) producing 1287 hp, giving the car a theoretical top speed of 290 mph. Nope, that’s not a typo. It’s also theoretical. SSC says given a long enough road, they could get the car up to 270 mph. That would break the Veyron’s record again, but let’s see if they ever get around to it.
Koenigsegg CCXR
Top Speed: 250 mph
1018 Horsepower
Although the Koenigsegg CCR broke the top speed record in 2005 on a totally unfair circular track, the updated CCXR has a better engine, aerodynamics, and, well, pretty much everything else. I’d love to see the Swedish company get this out on the VW test track, which is the same track on which the Veyron was tested (and a straight line, not a circle.)
Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo
Top Speed: 248 mph
750 Horsepower
Saleen’s first car not based on an existing model, the S7 supercar grabbed a lot of attention when it was released in 2000. An updated Twin-Turbo model followed shortly afterward, providing 750 hp and a 248 mph top speed. Saleen offers a competition package increasing power to 1000 hp, which brings the top speed up to a rumored 260 mph. Interest has dropped for the S7, but if they can come back and claim a top speed close to Bugatti and SSC, we might see some more of Saleen’s supercar in the near future.
McLaren F1
Top Speed: 240.14
627 Horsepower
Can you believe this? The McLaren F1 was made in 1994, 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. Produced from 1993 to 1998, the F1 still sells for well over $1 million each, and I have a feeling it will only appreciate over the years. This is a timeless car and will remain on the all-time greatest car list for decades to come. Even though it’s no longer the fastest production car in the world anymore, it’s still the fastest naturally-aspirated road car in the world, sporting a special 6.1-liter V12 capable of biting your head off.
Ferrari Enzo
Top Speed: 226 mph
651 Horsepower
Ferrari’s most recent mega-car seems to have people crashing it left and right, but the drivers always walk away fine (physically.) With only 400 Enzos ever made, the value of the car goes up with each wreck. Sporting a naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V12, the Enzo is beginning to show its age, but remains one of the fastest cars in the world. Until Ferrari’s next mega-ultra-super-duper-car, of course.
Aston Martin One-77
Top Speed: 220 mph
750 Horsepower
The newest entry in our list, the Aston Martin One-77 is a very limited edition (only 77 made, who’d have thought?) supercar. Originally the top speed was estimated at a relatively paltry 200 mph but later tests confirmed a top speed of 220.007 mph. The 3,307 lb car can rocket from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds thanks to its 750 horsepower, 7.3-liter V12 engine and six-speed automated manual gearbox.
Pagani Zonda F Clubsport
Top Speed: 215 mph
640 Horsepower
Powered by a 7.3-liter AMG-built V12, the 640 horsepower Pagani Zonda F Clubsport created ripples in the car community when it lapped the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife test track in only 7:24.7 seconds. A very impressive car – I’m actually confused as to why it’s not higher on the list, although Pagani claims that without the car’s aerodynamic equipment (added to increase cornering ability,) the Zonda F Clubsport would have a top speed of 220 mph.
Jaguar XJ220
Top Speed: 213 mph
549 Horsepower
Even older than the McLaren F1, the Jaguar XJ220 has been on this list since 1992. Sporting a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, the XJ220…wait…a 3.5-liter V6? 217 mph in 1992? That’s some seriously impressive engineering. Be sure to check out the Pininfarina version as well.
Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV
Top Speed: 213 mph
661 Horsepower
Another car I’m surprised isn’t higher on the list. The Murciélago LP 670-4 SV is not only the fastest Murcielago ever produced, but the fastest car Lamborghini has ever made, sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in only 2.8 seconds and hitting that 213 mph top speed. This is the last Murcielago variant Lambo is making – there have been plenty of rumor of a successor.
Pushed off the Top 10 List:
Porsche Carrera GT – 209 mph
McLaren Mercedes SLR – 207 mph

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!
i really love porsche’s the are savage
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.
BRo r u serious ok half of yall r alll naming super cars so you cant say that they are the fastest cars. the 911 gt1 is a frekin racing car ment for racing a bugatti is just itself stock a beast car and fastest… plus it looks tha best THANK YOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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

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

motorbikes are faster then cars because if u go to google and type in worlds fastest motorbike 2010 it will come up with the motorbike that goes 300mph with a v8 engine. anyway the suzuki gsxr 1300 got more exeleration then any sports car. lol
if you don't agree then send me an email at?
peckymother24@hotmail.co.uk

Theres a new fastest car…. and it's not ssc any more
what is it
oi mark what bmw do u have
the Scorpion is the siccest car in the world
BIKES are the best thing ever made… they are amazing period thats it
ya there may be faster cars than the bugatti veyron, but that's not really hard to do if you have a car that's super light. bugatti weighs 1.9 metric tons dry.
but bugatti doesn't belong on the page of "fastest cars in the world". it belongs in its own category somewhere between the above and "most luxurious cars in the world". there's no other car, no matter what you say that has that kind of luxury. remember, the veryon's production costs ca. 7 mil. EUR. it's sold for 1 mil. before tax. it was never intended to make money. it was intended to overshadow all other hyper sports cars for generations to come. and no matter how fast the next fastest car in the world will be, there will never be another veyron.
oh, and an acceleration from naught to 63 mph (100kmh) of under 2.5 sec. won't be beat very soon either. no human can shift as fast as that sweet sequential. you can let the mclaren f1 accelerate up to 160 mph before starting up the veyron and it will beat the f1 to 200 mph. (fun fact)
I love that Lamborghini…………….. .
The ultimate aero should be first.The bugatti should be second.The ultimate aero goes 257 while the bugatti goes 253 miles per hour. Look on TheSuperCars.org. Tell me that because I know your wrong. But every thing else is in order. Tell me how a mercadies goes faster then 257 miles per hour.
All iam saying is put the ultimate is the fastest and change it.
Porsche 9ff GT9. Ill just leave that there.
bich lani deo BUGatti is the fastest car….i love this car….its doubt abt veyron;)
MOSLER MT900 GTR XX TT LAND SHARK GOES 488 KM/H
Which faster with pedicab?
hahahaha..
the audi r8 needs to be in there
My favorite car is Lamborghini Murcielago
