Introduction

As humans, we have a fascination with speed. There's something hard wired into our brain to react to adrenaline, and we all know how much adrenaline is dumped into out system when we go fast.

Over the last 100 years, we've gone from very slow, to very fast, and every few years it seems, a new King of the production fast cars comes along. More recently there have been so many new "hyper-cars" that we often don't realise its faster. Take the Bugatti Veyron for example. This is one fast fast car, and many believe it to be the worlds fastest production car. That however is wrong.

Take a look through the list to see where your favourite Hyper-cars come.

The Fastest Car In The World Is....

So we've gone through the top 49, and here is the fastest car in the world, the Shelby Super Cars (SSC) Ultimate Aero. The 1287 hp V8 powers this carbon fibre clad "Hyper-car" all the way to 257mph! It gets to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds, and will power it's way down a 1/4 mile strip in 9.9 seconds. This is one FAST car!

Interesting to know that SSC are working on (and will be producing) the Ultimate Aero EV. This will be the first 200mph+ electric car powered by a single 500bhp electric motor. It's worth mentioning that SSC are playing around with bolting 2 of their 500bhp motors together for a 100hp electric Hyper-car. Who says you can't have an economical Hypercar?

the BMW M5 only does 155MPH, where on earth did you geet 205MPH from???

Wow Chris, the speed limiter, when removed, lets the M5 get up to 205....read up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bmw_m5#E60_M5_.282005

Pretty amazing that its in the top 20 of this list, its a freakin 5 passenger car...

Ah the good old speed limiter catching people out.

In case no one knows this, if you take the limiter out of the Bristol Fighter T (11) in theory it will do 275mph, but I don't think anyone has actually done it yet.

Flat_steve  says:

I suspect the M5 is electronically limited to 155, remove it and it does 205.

Will  says:

According to YOUR link, t only does 195, and considering it has only 500 hp and an ungainly sedan body to push around I'd say that's pushing it.

The viper is aerodynamically challenged and would never get close to 255

Bojon  says:
9 months ago

That is probably why they redesigned the front fascia of the Viper. As for the top speed you may be right, I'm not entirely sure they have actually ever tested it. But what I do know is that it held the one mile standing record at 217.9 MPH, and also beat the Buggati Veyron from 0-200 MPH by over 4 seconds.

Pwager  says:

hey you left out the brabus rocket it goes 228 MH and it is a 4 door passenger car. with one thousand hoursepower V12

also they have an edition that is two seater convertible that has same engine but it electronicly limits the torque but in theory it should top out faste then the 4 door rocket

Great list. What about the Porsche 959? I seem to remember that it was about 200 Mph top speed.

No One  says:

last i heard the bugatti held the record for fastest production car in the world. there is a video where one of the people on Top Gear actually got a bugatti up to 254 mph. could you give links to where you found information on the other cars that you have listed after the bugatti? and a theory speed is nice, but it doesnt mean anything if it cant actually do it, even on an open test track.

i would like to get a bugatti, speed past a cop at 200 mph, then pull over so he can catch me, and when he asks why i did, ill say "i want the record for the fastest speeding ticket"

Slif  says:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Ariel Atom 3 supposed to be on the list too? It's a small production car, admittingly, but so is most of the elite cars on the list. Top Gear posted the 2nd gen. Atom as the second fastest car they have ever driven, below the Veyron, but above the Enzo.

Dated, but I don't think the facts changed that much.

Enjoyed the list, but then again, I don't don't care which is the absolute fastest ranked, as much as I would like to check some of these off my "driven" list.

thing  says:
9 months ago

ya... the stock M5 has a top speed of 195. but if you wish to add cars to the list that only reach these high speeds with out their limiter, there would be ALLOT of mercedes would be in this list. many of their cars can reach over 190 with out the limiter. need to redo this list and remove the cars that only reach these speeds with out the limiter if your not going to put all of them in... there are allot of cars that can reach over 200 with out the limiter. if they were listed, there wouldnt be any cars that do less then 200 in the list.

and the bugatti is superior... it can do 254 MPH and weighs allot more then the others that are as fast... i bet you if you take out all the un-needed items, just gut the car, it could go much faster.

Yeah Mikus, I've mentioned it in my look at American cars here.

http://hubpages.com/hub/108-Years-Of-American-Cars

The problem with the W8 was it was never recorded at anything over 185mph and from what I've heard, wasn't much fun to drive over 180mph.

No one has ever had it above 205mph with the production gearing. This is not based on copanies figures, because everyone knows they lie about them most of the time.

Interesting hub with great pictures.

Just for giggles, which is the best car

for

1. dollars per mph

2. dollars per hp per mph

3. mpg for mph

4. horse pwer per mph

This would tell us the best design for the best price kind of perspective.

just a thought.

Another interest fact would be, what is the fastest police pursuit speed and by what vehicles?

Do you have any interior shots of these cars?

Rob  says:

What are you guys talking about horsepower and engine size for? If geared properly you can get a MOPED to do a 100 mph!

The M5 has been tested to do 205 MPH.

The M5 is eletronically limited to 155MPH by law. There are many tuners out there like RPI and Powerchip that remove this limiter. I personally have hit 196MPH in mine after it was delimited.

awsome array of cars on here!! im from bristol the home of the fighter and there is a production tt on the road in theory 280mph+ from a v10, the same factory is building the world record chalenger for the fastest car 'the bloodhound ssc' hopefully gonna get my hands on a db9 very soon will try and top the speed on the m32 southbound :P

Debbie Hicks  says:

What a great list. I found it fascinating. Just looking at some of these gets your adrenaline going. I love a car that not only looks sleek, but is simply flat out fast. Ditto to the person who said they would like to check off many of these as "driven." How fun would that be? Thanks for a great post!

Jfreez  says:
9 months ago

The corvette Z06 is listed at 198MPH. There have been several gps confirmed stock ones that have broken 200. The limiter kicks in at 205 but I dont know any that have hit that mark without mods. Check out corvette forum and you will easly find examples of stock ones that have hit 200.

I dont doubt that your example only hit 190 but I would be intrested in learning more about the conditions under which the run was done. Hot conditions and low atmospheric preassure can make a huge diffrence at those speeds

nirmalpatel  says:

i think among of them cadillac cts-v is the best becos its to much smooth running car and nice thing is its steering wheel its too soft and smooth how i know becos i got one cts-v but 2007 hence its very fast i heard 09 has more horse than 07

and they make hard body for the crash too and other think when i drive it everybody look inside my car whos that and i also pulled over twice by the cops to check nacotics and crac becos none of young kid got it not even any whiote ash hole people so they pull over me

Miguel  says:

I think the term 'production' is used pretty loosely to describe some of these cars. I reckon the bugatti would trounce many others in terms of build quality and repeated performance. The SSC aero is pig ugly and was built to do one thing, break the top speed; no class, no passion, no integrity.

WHoArtNow profile image

WHoArtNow  says:
9 months ago

@:miguel - I will agree the Bugatti has probably got amongst the best build quality, of them all (being a Volkswagen) and yes, the SSC Aero isn't the prettiest thing in the world (but neither is the Gumpert Apollo!)

However, I would say havign been in one (sadly not driving it), don't underestimate the Koneigsegg CCXR, there amazingly well built and the level of finish is superb!

///MOOKIE  says:
9 months ago

Lots of cars missing from here... Benzs, M6, etc...

Anyone who is saying they hit a certain speed themselves... speedos in production cars are only so accurate... u need to use navs,satellites, and radar to get a true correct speed.

Gotta admit having the M5 in the top 20 is sick... even if it really only does do somewhere in the 198 - 202 range. 7 Speed SMG is made for speed...

WHoArtNow profile image

WHoArtNow  says:
9 months ago

these speed are based of data logging equipement which runs of GPS, make the timings 100% accurate. I know some say there are some that go faster and slower, but sadly not every car off the production plant is 100% the same.

The M5 is a stupidly fast car, and of course you can it as an estate too! Why anyone would buy a Range Rover over the M5 eatate I don't know!

Cbo  says:
9 months ago

@ Slif: The Atom is the fastest in many respects, but not overall top speed. It is limited electronically, not only because of the laws in its native UK, but also because many components are not able to cope with the very high speeds on the list.

The lightweight tyres, for example, could shred at over 170-180! The heavier top rated tyres would increase unsprung and overall weight, and make it less of a driver car than it is. It beat many other cars around the TG track because of the mahoosive acceleration and cornering speed (0-100-0 MPH in <10s) this is a superior track car, but still not in the high speed leagues of the above.

@C-bo - Totally agree with you about the Atom being a superior Track machine. The best track car out of the lot is the Ultima GTR though, beat the Koenigsegg by 5 seconds round the TG test track.

i am from India

this is great news

we needs these powerful speedsters- surprised?

our potholes and speed breakers will retard their speed considerably and make them move only at 60 kmph

and a bullock cart or araging auto might make them stop dead on their track

everyday driving is a rally for us

Since when does the CTS-V go 191? Is this after removing the speed limiter like you would with the M5? If you are going to be doing this, why not post the top speeds of all the vehicles withthe speed governor removed. It would change your list substantially.

No One  says:
9 months ago

sure, the bugatti is probably the most expensive... but the rules that were set for the car was huge... had to be luxurious, fast, quite. a car you can drive through town, or take on a long vacation (if you can afford one of these, gas price is no object). and many other sets of rules that i dont remember. all the other cars that can do 230+ mph, they were made for the soul purpose of going fast.. sure their design might be stable at a higher air speed then the bugatti.. but all the major sports cars that can reach that speed, when they get up there it gets loud from the air flowing over it. vibrations start from vehicle rolling on the ground so fast. bugatti remains smooth at its top speed, and is still very quite.

if you stripped the bugatti clean, leaving the basic stuff the car needs to run, with out reducing anything that gives it, its erodynamics, or smooth ride.. i mean just taking stuff out, not replacing anything with the soul prupose of making the car lighter with out replacing anything... the bugatti could probably go faster then any of these other cars.. but then again, you wouldnt be able to listen to your favorite driving music while doing over 240 MPH.

the atom i would have to agree, it is the best track car... and it looks fun to drive to.. i would like to make my own version, but mine would use a porche 911 turbo engine/tranny, so i could have 4 wheel drive.

oh... google "smart car redesign" and click on the first link

WOW! This is the greatest thing i've ever seen!! I'm gonna tell everyone I know about it starting right now! Fantastic hub, you deserve a medal for such a great list! Anyway I did notice you haven't got the Nissan GTR on the list, surely this machine would be a great candidate considering it has a top speed of 191mph?

timmay  says:

SInce you list older cars, the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 could have been here-

Around 200 mph is amazing- but all these cars do that while being strapped to something akin to an Apollo capsule...

Except the Bentley.

I had no idea that the T1 was actually in production. I heard about when it caught fire and the problems they had with it on Top Gear so I thought that it was too unstable for production because of what happened. For me the CTS-V is what I am looking for. I heard that it now broke the 8 minute mark on the Nurburgring for a sedan.

as a race care driver and a speed tester in italy \, the

Bugatti Veyron

has a problem with its intake and gear shifting but thats not really a big deal but the speed only reach 215mph, my bos and promoter bet that if i make it to 250 its mine and after 28 atemp in 84 miles straight i got one in 248 record and insisted to the the price and they agree. i have now this one and still trying to meke it - 253mph but maybe the problem is in me and my chest.

Ian  says:

Some guy asked a while ago which car was the best comparing cost to speed, mileage, etc... I did a simple statistical analysis of 5 expensive cars (I forget which ones, it was a year ago) and found no coorelation between price and how much speed you get. I would say that's confirmed by the m5 and the CTS-V being on this list, and placing fairly high. With the M5 testing at 205 mph and costing about $90,000 and the Porsche Carerra GT at 209 mph and costing over $500,000, I will save almost half a million and gladly give up that measley 4 miles per hour. If you really want a bargain, get a CTS-V for $60,000!!! Plus, you can take more than one other person along to enjoy the ride! Yippee!!!

WHoArtNow  says:

@Ian - I know what you mean, if I had the money I'd get the M5 estate, make so much more sense than pretty much any car on the market! Capable of over 200mph and enough room for the misses, the kids and the dog in the boot!

My local police force has 2 2008 M5 Esates marked up, wouldn't want one of them chasing me with the blue's and two's on!

Louis G  says:

I don't believe that the BMW M5 can do 205mph. Not even close. The Ferrari F50 only does 202, and the smaller, lighter, more aerodynamic , and MUCH more powerful ( by more than 100HP ) Corvette ZR-1 does 205. The number is wrong.

The BMW M5 does 205mph, google it and you'll see.

McLaren  says:

Not to be nitpicky, but the McLaren was my favorite car as a kid. the picture you show is of the McLaren F1 LM (Le Mans), and it's top speed was 225mph. Also, the top speed reached in an F1 was 243mph. The McLaren F1 is the fastest naturally aspirated production car, since it doesn't use forced induction like the cars ahead of it.

have had a look at that Maximus G-force and its as ugly as sin! Would rather pocket the $3million and buy an old beetle/camper van n buy a few islands in the indian ocean.

if they are going to charge that sort of money, they need to invest in a team of car designers.

@ chris - the maximus G-force is actually the Ultima GTR with 1600BHP and a $3mil price tag. Where as the GTR is only abut $100,000 nd still comes in 9th at 231mph! Why would anyone spend $3mil on a Maximus I don't know!

And it's not production yet.

Dan  says:

Sorry, your list is WRONG and OUT-OF-DATE. There's a british T.V. show called Top Gear and on that show they take every car around their test track to see which car is fastest.

HERE'S THE CONSTANTLY UPDATED LIST

http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/powerlaps.shtml

Nice try though...

@Dan - I'm English and have been an avid fan of Top Gear going on for 10 tears now.

All that proves is how fast the car goes round their track, this goes on top speeds! There's a big difference.

Nat  says:

Top speed isn't everything dear......

No One  says:
8 months ago

in this list, top speed is everything. and as far as a car that is the best bang for the buck... you want to look for a car that cant just reach these speeds, but also remain stable and quiet, sure the cadi can get up to speed... but there are other cars that remain more stable and more quiet. 200+ MPH doesnt mean shit with out control. and the cars that have the best control usually cost over 100k, because the extra effort was put into them to remain conrtolled.

the Bugatti is an amazing vehicle.. but it does require a special place to hit its top speed. you cant just get in it and go to a very long straight road to hit the record top speed. you get to the straight, you have a second key for the car, when you turn on what ill call the fast setting (forgot what its really called), the car lowers and a few other things happen. i forgot exactly what speed. but supposedly, in this mode when you get beyond a certain speed, if the SLIGHTEST thing goes wrong, the brakes come on, the car slows down. and its taken out of its top speed mode. from what im told.. but i have seen the top gear episode where captain slow did get it to its top speed.. so not to sure about it.

if you are wanting a fast car, and top speed isnt the everything to you... the atom is the best bang for its buck. its acceleration can beat out many many supercars down the quarter. there might be some cars that can go around a track quicker, but isnt nearly as fun in the corners. you feel every bit of the car's acceleration. its capable speeds in the turn is unreal.

if you want a fast car, speed isnt everything, and how it does on a track doesnt matter much to you... there is the M5 and the cadi, those 2 are both luxury cars that are very fast, they are roomy, comfortable. and both can be taken on long trips with out you having to worry about limited storage in the trunk.

if you dont care about any of this, and just want something beautifull.. get an Aston Martin. =D

WHoArtNow profile image

WHoArtNow  says:

@no one - I agree with everything you say. The only real problems I have persnaly with the Veyron, is the price, and the weight! I'm more of a light weight fan, so the Atom is such an appealing car!

Who really needs to go 200+ mph? Where can you do that? Where as a car set to 130mph but can get there in 5 seconds, now that would be a scream!!

No One  says:
8 months ago

oh... i recently found out about an M5 that can hit that speed. its the G-Power Hurricane M5. im not to sure on if its something BMW came out with on their own, or an outside company tweek't the car.. but its reported to do 224.

WHoArtNow  says:

@ No One - Yeah it's an outside car, not even sure it went into production because it went through tyres like a F1 car.

Still, bl**dy hell that's a fast 4 door!!

You might mention the 8 wheel, 8 motor Japanese prototype electric car, the Eliica that did 230 mpg in 2005. It's 17 ft long and 5,300 lbs.

WHoArtNow profile image

WHoArtNow  says:

Even though the Eliica's top speed of 230mph is very impressive, it's not a production car but a prototype. If it ever goes into production, it would make it into the top 50, 10th with its current 230mph top speed and 5th if it hit its projected high of 250mph.
