While most of us can only dream of
owning the fastest car in the world, some will do whatever it takes to
possess the most powerful speed. So, how fast are the fastest cars in
the world?
Here are the 10 fastest street legal
cars available on the market (production models, as opposed to concept
or modified cars) measured by tested top speed (theoretical speeds do
not count).
World’s Fastest Cars:
1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: 267 mph,
0-60 in 2.4 secs. Aluminum, Narrow Angle 8 Liter W16 Engine with 1200
hp, base price is $2,400,000. Although the Bugatti Veyron lost the title
to SSC Ultimate Aero on March 2007, Bugatti challenge the record in
Germany on July 10, 2010 with the new 2010 Super Sport Version and the
Veyron once again claims the title of the fastest car in the world at
267 mph. The original Bugatti Veyron has a top speed of 253 mph, priced
at $1,700,000 and equipped with 1001 hp.
#2 is a tie at 260 mph!
2. Hennessey Venom GT: 260 mph,
0-60 in 2.5 seconds, has a 6.2-liter LS9 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8
Engine producing 1200 hp, has a price tag of $950,000. The Venom GT has
yet to be tested and proven, but could possibly hit a top speed of 275
mph. This might just be the Veyron Super Sport’s closest competitor!
