Top 10 Fastest Cars In The World by holuwamurewa(m): 11:04pm On May 19, 2015
As a top gear fan I hear people talking about fast cars that I don't classify as fast enough so I've compiled this list to show the top fastest cars cheesy

10. Zenvo ST1: 233 mph (374.9km/
h)
Danish firm Zenvo produces just three of these
cars each year for sale in the US — costing
around $1.8million each (although you get a
free $50,000 watch included making it a, er,
bargain). It has a 7.0 liter turbocharged and
supercharged V8 engine producing 1,250hp. Just
15 are set to be produced in total. It does
0-62mph (0-100km/h) in 3.0 seconds.

9. McLaren F1: 243mph (391km/h) The McLaren F1 has a 6.0 liter BMW S70/2 V12 engine producing 618horsepower. It can do 0-60mph (0-97km/h) in 3.2seconds. When the car reached 243mph at Volkswagen’s Ehra- Lessien test track in April 1998, it was the fastest production car in the world at the time. Just 106 McLaren F1s were produced between 1992 and 1998.

8. Koenigsegg CCX: 245 mph (394.3km/h) Featuring an all-aluminium 4.7 liter twin- supercharged V8 engine producing 806 horsepower, the Koenigsegg CCX can do O-62mph in 3.2seconds. Racing models of the CCX and CCXR, known as the Edition models, are fitted with roll bars and have a more racy 4.8 liter engine producing 1,004hp, allowing the car to do 0-62mph in 2.9seconds and reach a claimed top speed of 249mph (400km/h). The Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is the world’s most expensive street-legal car, costing $4.85million. The normal version of the CCX starts at around $545,000.

6. Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse: 254.04mph (408.8km/h) The $2million Grand Sport Vitesse was unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, and was built to set the record for the world’s fastest roadster — which it did by reaching a top speed of 254mph. It is electrically limited to 233mph (375km/h) on the road, has an 8.0 liter quad-turbo W16 engine producing 1,200bhp at 6,400rpm and can do 0-62mph in 2.6seconds.

5. SSC Ultimate Aero: 256.18mph (412.28km/h) The SSC Ultimate Aero has twice been named the fastest car in the world. On September 13, 2007, it clocked 256.18mph (412.28km/h) in West Richland, Washington, US, and had the speed verified by Guinness in October of that year. At the time the Bugatti Veyron’s top recorded speed was 253.7mph (408.3km/h) and the $695,000 Ultimate Aero held the fastest car in the world title for two years and nine months until Bugatti took the crown again when their Super Sport model reached 267.86mph (431.072km/h). In April 2013 the record was given back to the SSC due to the controversy over the Veyron’s speed limiter — but it only managed to hold on to it for a week before Guinness decided that the speed limiter wasn’t a modification after all and handed the record back to Bugatti. The Ultimate Aero has a 6.8 liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing 1,287bhp. SSC is set to release an XT version of the Ultimate Aero which they say is capable of doing 273mph, before winding up the model’s production. It will be replaced by the Tuatara, which SSC claim will have a top speed of 276mph.

4. 9ff GT9-R: 257mph (413.6km/h)
The GT9-R is based on Porsche’s most
successful car, the iconic 911. It can do
0-62mph (0-100km/h) in 2.9 seconds and was
designed specifically to try and take the title
of fastest car in the world.
It made its claim for the record by boasting a
257mph top speed — only to have the Bugatti
Veyron come along and rain on its parade
before it could be officially verified. You’ve
got to feel sorry for the guys who made it.
The GT9-R has a heavily modified 4.0 liter
flat 6 engine that produces up to 1,120 bhp.
It costs from $695,000

3. Koenigsegg Agera R: 260mph (418km/h) The Agera R is said to have a theoretical top speed of 273mph — but this has never been demonstrated. It is supplied with tyres which can be used at speeds up to 260mph (420 km/ h). The Swedish manufacturer’s offering can do 0-62mph(100km/h) in 2.9 seconds, 0-200mph in 17.68seconds and 0-300km/h in 14.53seconds — which was a record for acceleration until the Hennessey Venom GT (below) did it in just 13.63 seconds in early 2013. The Agera R has a 5.0 liter V8 twin-turbo engine producing 1,140bhp and costs a meagre $1.6million.

2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: 267.8mph (430.9km/h) The Veyron Super Sport broke the official record for the world’s fastest production car on July 4 2010 at Volkswagen’s high-speed Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany, with the time verified by officials from Guinness World Records. It averaged the speed during laps in both directions of the oval track, as required by the Guinness rule book. The car sold to customers is electrically limited to 258mph (415km/h) to stop the tyres exploding — which has led to Bugatti’s official title being disputed in the past. In April 2013, its Guinness Record status was taken away because Guinness decided that the speed limiter meant it had been ‘modified’, which is not allowed under their definition of a ‘production car’. At that point the Ultimate Aero TT (then the world’s second fastest car) claimed the record. But just days later Guinness did a bizarre U- turn and decided limiting the top speed was not an actual modification as it “does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine”. Some may beg to differ. But despite that, and despite the fact that the Hennessy Venom GT has done over 270mph, the Veyron Super Sport’s official Guinness title of being the fastest car in the world holds today. The Super Sport does 0-60 in 2.4 seconds, has an 8.0 liter W16 engine producing 1,200bhp and costs an astonishing $2.4million.

1. Hennessey Venom GT: 270.49mph (435.3km/h) As well as being the fastest car on the planet, the Hennessey Venom GT holds the official Guinness World Record for the fastest production car to accelerate from 0-300km/h (0-186mph), doing it in a staggering 13.63 seconds. It has an equivalently staggering price tag, costing around $1million. It features a 7.0 liter V8 twin turbo engine producing 1,244bhp. Just 29 Venom GTs have been built, another reason why the car can’t make it into the Guinness record books. For a vehicle to class as a ‘production car’ under Guinness rules you have to make at least 30.

Wow, well according to Jeremy Clerkson On Top Gear, Volks Vagen said it cost then 5million Pounds to make one unit of the Bugatti Veyron, which was sold for less than 2million Pounds
