Top Ten Fastest Cars In The World
Do you have the need for speed? If so, you may be interested in doing whatever you can to obtain one of these extravagant machines (including, but not limited to, selling a kidney). This is a list of the top ten fastest street legal production cars in the world.
10
Gumpert Apollo
Top Speed: 225 mph (362 km/h)
0-60 Time: 3.0 seconds
Price: $450,000
Gumpert claims that you could drive upside-down in a tunnel if you are going at least 190 mph due to the amount of down force this car produces. Of course, nobody has tested this claim yet. The uniquely designed car boasts a 4.2 liter V8 capable of producing 650 hp.

Top Speed: 233 mph (374 km/h)
0-60 Time: 2.9 seconds

The Zenvo St1 is the first 100% Danish made super car in the world. Although not many people have heard of the Zenvo ST1, that is about to change. The ST1 produces 1104 hp from a twin supercharged 7.0 liter V8. Initially only 15 units will be made available. Another interesting fact about this car is, if you ever need someone to work on it, Zenvo will fly out one of their own mechanics to perform the work wherever you are in the world.
8
McLaren F1
Top Speed: 240 mph (386 km/h)
0-60 Time: 3.2 seconds

0-60 Time: 3.2 seconds
Price: $545,568
The Koenigsegg CCX is the older version of the Agera R, however, don’t think it is a slouch by any means. Made in Sweden, the CCX comes with a V12 engine with a peak power output of 806 hp.

Saleen S7 Twin Turbo
Top Speed: 248 mph (399 km/h)
0-60 Time: 2.8 seconds

0-60 Time: 2.9 seconds
Price: $695,000

Perhaps, the best value for your money on this list the American-made SCC Ultimate Aero generates 1183 hp from a twin-turbo V8 engine while coming in significantly less than $1 million. The SCC Ultimate Aero was the fastest car in the world between March 2007 to July 2010.

The Koenigsegg Agera R comes equipped with a 5.0 liter V8 engine capable of outputting 1099 hp. Interestingly enough the Agera R was designed with the intention of being able to drive on snow and ice, not that we would particularly recommend doing so. To prove their point, you can order an optional ski box to mount to the car.
2
Hennessey Venom GT
Top Speed: 260 mph (418 km/h)
0-60 Time: 2.5 seconds
