52 Fastest Cars in the World: Ultimate Guide

It's a well-known fact - man as a species has a need for speed. Since we figured out the wheel, we've been looking for ways to move from one point to another as quickly as possible. Then, of course, there's the thrill factor. As technology advances, so do the possibilities for creating the fastest production cars that we all can enjoy!

We have acknowledged this inherent desire and are perhaps even fostering it a bit with our collection of 52 of the world's fastest cars. Why stop at the top 10 fastest cars in the world? That doesn't really offer much variety!

So what is the fastest car in the world? How about the world's fastest street car? From American to Eastern European builds, we bring you some of the hottest speed demons to ever hit the streets (or track!).

52. Rimac Concept One

• Top Speed: 190 mph
• Horsepower: 1088 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds

Although it comes in last on our list of the fastest cars in the world, the Rimac Concept One is nothing to scoff at. This Croatian supercar with its sleek, feline-like appearance alone is enough to make you take pause, but its most intriguing aspect is the fact that even as an electric car, it tops out at a rip-roaring 190 mph. When it comes to fast cars, we have to applaud this gorgeous little example of Eastern European innovation.

51. Porsche 918 Spyder

• Top Speed: 210 mph
• Horsepower: 608 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds

This sweet hybrid hypercar from Porsche may look futuristic, but it's very much in the here-and-now. A car with an impressive pedigree, the 918 Spyder ran its lucky buyers about $900,000. While it's perhaps not the fastest car in the lineup, it definitely makes up for it in other areas of performance. The last of the production run of 918 cars rolled off the lines in spring of 2015, making these cool fast cars hard to come by.

50. Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

• Top Speed: 211 mph
• Horsepower: 731 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 3.1 seconds

The Ferrari F12 berlinetta is perhaps one of the hottest little ponies in the fast car arena. In production since 2012, the F12 Berlinetta is not the fastest car in the world, but it does hold its own as perhaps the fastest street legal car in its class. It will be exciting to see how long Ferrari decides to produce this model and what great things they'll do with it next!

49. Pagani Zonda F

• Top Speed: 215 mph
• Horsepower: 650 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds

Another fantastic Italian masterpiece, this gorgeous little Roadster, although no longer in production, still manages to wow everyone that encounters it. Sleek lines lend themselves to its aerodynamic performance on and off the track. In the exclusive club of Italian super fast cars, the Pagani Zonda F easily holds its own among the other members.

48. Pagani Zonda Revolucion

• Top Speed: 217 mph
• Horsepower: 800 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 3.3 seconds

What do you get when you combine titanium and carbon fiber? A supercar that moves like lightning and looks a little like a futuristic armored scorpion. This powerhouse may not rank amongst the most affordable fast cars, but who cares? When you look and perform like the Pagani Zonda Revolucion, you can cost as much as a luxury yacht and no one will bat an eyelash.

47. Pagani Zonda Cinque

• Top Speed: 217 mph
• Horsepower: 678 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds

With only five of these roadsters built, the name is strikingly apropos. This makes this car perhaps one of the most sought-after for collectors around the world. Looking like a streak of molten metal, this hot supercar was originally intended to be the finale in the Zonda line of luxury on speed. Pun intended. The performance of this car makes it perhaps one of the most expensive AND fastest cars in the world.

46. Ferrari Enzo

• Top Speed: 217 mph
• Horsepower: 678 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds

Named after the founder of Ferrari, the Ferrari Enzo is a 12-cylinder mid-engine supercar which they produced from 2002-2004, with only 400 made. It was created to commemorate Ferrari's first formula one car of the new millennium. At first, Ferrari only produced 349 (at a price of $659,330) but due to popular demand 50 more were built (the 400th was donated to the Vatican). If you happen to own one, consider yourself lucky as it values over $1,000,000 at auctions, making it quite rare to find.

45. McLaren P1

• Top Speed: 217 mph
• Horsepower: 903 hp
• Acceleration: 0-62 in less than three seconds

British automotive manufacturer, McLaren Automotive really outdid themselves when they produced the McLaren P1, a limited production (only 375 made) hybrid sports car. It is often known as the long-awaited spiritual successor of the iconic McLaren F1 which was produced in 1993. Fetching a staggering price of 1.6 million dollars, it is a very sought out and rare fast car as all have already been sold.

44. Jaguar XJ220

• Top Speed: 217 mph
• Horsepower: 640 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60mph in 3.6 seconds

With a combination of luxury and speed, the Jaguar XJ220 is supercar that will turn heads everywhere. The XJ220 was developed by British luxury car manufacturer Jaguar from 1992 until 1994 and had the title of world's fastest car in 1992 topping speeds of up to 217 mph. Only a total of 275 were produced and were sold at a price of $699,454. It features a 3.5 L twin-turbocharged V6 engine, and can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in a mere 3.6 seconds.

43. Lamborghini Aventador

• Top Speed: 220 mph
• Horsepower: 691 to 720 HP
• Acceleration: 0 - 60mph in 2.9 seconds

Named after a fighting bull that fought gallantly in Saragossa, Spain around 1992, the Lamborghini Aventador is a force to be reckoned with. It is the successor to the popular Lamborghini Murciélago and only 4000 will be produced at a base price of $393,695. If you are a transformers fan then you would be surprised to know that the Aventador was featured on the film Transformers: Age of Extinction as the main antagonist Lockdown.

42. Jaguar C-X75

• Top Speed: 220 mph
• Horsepower: 778 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 3 seconds

If you are ever looking for a car that will make you feel like James Bond then take a look at the Jaguar C-X75 (which was featured in the 24th James Bond film, Spectre). Don't fall in love with this care because none are currently be made. Jaguar stated that they would produce a maximum of 250 cars at a starting price of $1.15 million but decided to pull the plug as a result of the global economic crisis. If you really need your Jaguar C-X75 fix, then you will have to watch Spectre.

41. Ascari A10

• Top Speed: 220 mph
• Horsepower: 625 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.8 seconds

The Ascari 10 is only but a dream as it still a prototype produced by the British company Ascari Cars. The two-door coupe features a 4,491 cc BMW V8 S62 and can reach a top speed of 220 mph. The Ascari 10 was initially produced in 2006 and was recognized as the fastest car in the world in 2007. The main intention of the Ascari 10 was to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Ascari Cars but did not reach the production stage.

40. Aston Martin One-77

• Top Speed: 220 mph
• Horsepower: 750 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 62 mph in 3.5 seconds

If you want a car that is truly a work of art, then this car is what you are looking for (that is if you happen to have $1,711,602). The Aston Martin One-77 is a luxury sports car that features a 7.3 L V12 engine and can reach a top speed of 220 mph. Only 77 were produced, which shows how the Aston Martin One-77 received its name. Not only will you be driving an extraordinary car, you will be driving a car that only 77 people own.

39. Ferrari LaFerrari

• Top Speed: 220 mph
• Horsepower: 949 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.4 seconds

There comes a point when all good things must come to an end and the production of the Ferrari Enzo is no exception to this rule. It isn't necessarily a bad thing as it would soon make way for the extraordinary Ferrari LaFerrari. A hybrid sports car that Ferrari produced from 2013 until 2015 (only 500 units were made). This car is insane as it can reach a top speed of 220 mph with its 6.3 L F140FE V12 engine. The design of the car is also something new for Ferrari as it is the first car since 1973 to be designed by a different company other than Pininfarina. Change can be scary sometimes, but in the case of Ferrari, it can also be beautiful.

38. Lamborghini Reventon

• Top Speed: 221 mph
• Horsepower: 650 hp
• Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.4 seconds

Imagine owning a car in which only 20 were produced. Imagine driving up to speeds of 221 mph. Imagine owning the Lamborghini Reventon, a mid-engine sports car that features a 6.5 L (400 cu in) V12 engine. Production began in 2008, and only 20 were produced and sold (one was made for their museum) at a price of $2 million. When translated into English, reventon means blowout which was also the name of a bull that killed famed Mexican bull fighter Felix Guzman in 1943, thus keeping the tradition of naming cars after famous bulls alive.

37. Lamborghini Veneno

• Top Speed: 221 mph
• Horsepower: 750 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 in 2.8 seconds

The Lamborghini Veneno is one of the rarest cars in the world as only three units were made. Ranging for a price of $4 million (US) it is also one of the most expensive cars that Lamborghini has produced. It features a 6.5 litre 60° V12 engine and can easily reach speeds up to 221 mph. Even though it isn't the fastest car on the list, it certainly is one of the most expensive one on the list.

36. Bristol Fighter T

• Top Speed: 225 mph
• Horsepower: 660 hp
• Acceleration: 3.4 seconds

The Bristol Fighter T is a turbocharged version of the Bristol Fighter. It would have had a modified version of the Chrysler V10 engine and would have reached a top speed of 270 mph, but would be limited to 225 mph by the computing system. We say it would have as Bristol Cars stated that the Bristol Fighter T was never produced. It would have been nice to see a car more powerful than the Bugattie Veyron but alas, it is only a fairytale. Bristol Cars still produced the less powerful Bristol Fighter but only made 13 units.

35. Noble M600

• Top Speed: 225 mph
• Horsepower: 650 hp
• Acceleration: 0-60 mph in 3 seconds

Like all high quality items, the best things are always handmade. This is no exception when it comes to the Noble M600 a supercar that was developed by Noble Automotive, a British sports car manufacturer based in Leicestershire, England. While most of the cars on this list go for millions and millions of dollars (US), the Noble M600 only goes for $450,000 (which isn't exactly cheap, but compared to the other cars it isn't so bad). Now, if you have in enough money in your budget for this car, then you should know that it features a 4.4 L Volvo/Yamaha B8444S V8 (twin t/c petrol) engine. With this power you can easily reach speeds of up to 225 mph. The price is right for one the world's fastest cars.

34. Gumpert Apollo

• Top Speed: 225 mph
• Horsepower: 800 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.9 seconds

When something isn't broke, you don't fix it and that is exactly what Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH did when they produced the Gumpert Apollo. The Gumpert Apollo is a sports car that features a 4.2 L (260 cu in) twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It also had a long production life that ranged from 2005 until 2012. Usually sports cars only have a production life of one or two years, but the Gumpert Apollo lasted a good seven years. One cannot deny that this car is a favorite among car enthusiasts.

33. Ferrari p4/5 Pininfarina

• Top Speed: 233 mph
• Horsepower: 660 hp
• Acceleration: 0 -60 mph in 3 seconds

Don't fall in love with the Ferrari P4/5 because there is only one unit made. The Ferrari P4/5 was originally going to be an Enzo Ferrari but the owner, James Glickenhaus, preferred the styling of 1960's race cars. He asked Ferrari to make a custom model and thus explains how the P4/5 was created. The design was actually made by James Glickenhaus himself on an ipod nano and was sent to Pininfarina who then made the car a reality. The funny thing is that the design actually makes the car more aerodynamic than the original Ferrari Enzo, which makes it faster and more stable at higher speeds. Too bad that there is only one in existence and it resides in New York.

32. GTA Spano

• Top Speed: 230 mph
• Horsepower: 820 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.9 seconds

A racing car developed under the direction of a racing expert, Domingo Ochoa. The GTA Spano is a car designed specifically for racing. It features a Central rear longitudinally-mounted supercharged V10 which is a supercharged version of the Dodge Viper's engine. The downside to all of this is the fact that there will only be 99 units produced for the sake of exclusivity. Those 99 owners will definitely be happy but for the rest of us, we can see the car in the 2014 movie, Need For Speed.

31. LeBlanc Mirabeau

• Top Speed: 230 mph
• Horsepower: 700 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.7 seconds

A supercar that was designed specifically under the FIA/Le Mans standards, the LeBlanc Mirabeau is a car with serious power. It features a rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive layout, 4700 cc supercharged engine that can reach a top speed of 230 mph. This engine can also produce up to 700 horsepower which can make the car accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. The price tag is quite reasonable too (for super cars that is) as it priced at $650,000 (US).

30. Ferrari FXX

• Top Speed: 230 mph
• Horsepower: 1036 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.44 seconds

The Ferrari FXX is Ferrari's secret formula car as it incorporates advanced technology developed by their F1 team that Ferrari does not want their competitors to acquire. Ferrari even goes as far as charging $2,976,500 (US) just to drive it (even though you own it). It's like owning a time share, you own it but you can only drive it when Ferrari allows it. The Ferrari FXX is a modified Ferrari Enzo that features a 6.3 L F140 V12 engine that can reach a top speed of 230 mph. There were only 30 produced so if you have the chance to drive it, consider yourself extremely lucky.

29. PAGANI HUAYRA

• Top Speed: 238 mph
• Horsepower: 700 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.8 seconds

The Pagani Huayra is the successor to the marvelous Pagani Zonda and fetches for a price of $1,314,000 (US). It is named after the Wayra Tata which translates to "God of Winds" in Quechua, the Incan language. A fitting name as the car is extremely aerodynamic. The Pagani Huayra features a hand-built, Mercedes-AMG bi-turbo M158 5980 cc V12 engine that can reach top speeds of up to 238 mph. What sets the Pagani Huayra apart from other supercars is that it has active aerodynamics. This means that it is capable of changing the height of the front from the ground and it can operate four flaps placed at the rear and front of the car independently giving the driver the edge they need.

28. Zenvo ST1

• Top Speed: 233 mph
• Horsepower: 1104 hp
• Acceleration: 0 -60 mph in 2.9 seconds

Developed by the Danish company, Zenvo, the Zenvo ST1 is a high performance supercar. It is the first car developed by the Zenvo Company and only 15 units were produced. It does not have the best history as some Zenvo ST1 have caught on fire resulting in many critics panning it. Other problems include registering the car as some countries charge $2,353,641 to register it. This is a problem as the car is only $724,515 (US). That aside, it features a supercharged 6.8 L V8 engine that is capable of reaching speeds of up to 233 mph (just try not to catch on fire).

27. Koenigsegg CCR

26. McLaren F1

• Horsepower: 627 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 3.4 seconds

Regarded as an engineering marvel, the McLaren gained fame by holding the record of being the fastest car for seven years before losing the title to the Bugatti Veyron. Some have even said that the McLaren F1 is the greatest automotive achievement of all time. The McLaren F1 is a supercar developed by McLaren Cars and was produced from 1992 until 1999 with only 106 units produced. The F1 features a 6.1 L S70/2 V12 engine that can reach a top speed of 243 mph. This speed was unmatched when it was produced which made it a wonder when it first came out.

25. Koenigsegg CCX

• Top Speed: 245 mph
• Horsepower: 795 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.9 seconds

The Koenigsegg CCX (Competition Coupé X) was designed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the completion and test drive of the first CC car (1996).

22. Weber Sportscars Faster One (F1)

• Horsepower: 800 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.9 seconds

A car that features a 7730 cc Speed 12 V12 engine, the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 is a car that just radiates power and speed. The sad reality to this car is that it only made it past the concept stage of production and staying a concept in 1998. No matter how rich or wealthy you are, no matter how important you are, you will not be able to add this car to your collection as you cannot buy one. It is a racers dream and nightmare at the same time.

The Koenigsegg CCXR is the more environmentally friendly version of the Koenigsegg CCX.

• Top Speed: 257 mph
• Horsepower: 1,120 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 in 2.9 seconds

Call it fast. Call it luxurious. Call it rare, but don't call it a regular Porsche.

It was specifically designed to take the speed record for a street legal car at 257 mph, beating the Aero and Veyron at the time (2011).

• Horsepower: 1140 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.7 seconds

The Koenigsegg Agera R broke six world records when it was tested at Angelholm. It is praised for its braking performance as it can slow down from 189 mph to 0 without having to hold on to the wheel. Does this also mean it is the fastest 0 - 60 car? Not quite, but oh, so close!

8. Koenigsegg Agera S

• Top Speed: 261 mph
• Horsepower:
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in

The Koenigsegg Agera S was specifically designed for markets that did not have E85 biofuel. It was recently reported that a Koenigsegg Agera S was sold in Singapore for an estimated $5.3 million (US). It is the only Agera model to be sold in Malaysia as they lack E85 biofuel. Just because it can run without E85 biofuel does not mean that it can't, if anything, it usually has higher performance times when it does use E85 biofuel.

7. Barabus TKR

• Top Speed: 269 mph
• Horsepower: 1005 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 1.67 seconds

The concept was first proposed in 1996 but it was not made into reality until 2006 at the British International Motor Show in London. It features a 6.0 L V8 Bi-Turbo engine with a massive power of 1005 horsepower.

6. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

• Top Speed: 269.86 mph
• Horsepower: 1200 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.4 seconds

Bugatti has certainly made a name for itself when it comes to making supercars. So much that everyone tries to create cars that can beat the Bugatti Veyron. It is definitely a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to the Super Sport. It features an 8.0 L V16 engine with a massive 1200 hp. Too bad that only 30 units will be made.

5. Hennessey Venom GT

• Top Speed: 270.49 mph
• Horsepower: 1451 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.5 mph

The Hennessey Venom GT is a car that takes the look of another car. If seen it will probably fool you into thinking it is a Lotus Exige. In 2013, The Venom GT set a Guinness World record for fastest production car. It features a 7.0 L LSX Twin Turbocharged V8 engine that can reach a top speed of up to 270.49 mph.

4. Koenigsegg One:1

• Top Speed: 273 mph
• Horsepower: 1161 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 in 2.5 seconds

In the whole world, there are only six Koenigsegg One:1 and they have already been sold. If you are looking to own one, then good luck as they will no longer be produced. The name comes from the power to weight ratio (1360 PS to 1360 kg) which is 1PS to 1 kg. It features a 5.0 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine which can make the car reach a top speed of 273 mph.

3. Koenigsegg Agera R

• Top Speed: 273 mph
• Horsepower: 1140 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 2.9 seconds

Breaking world records is no problem for this car, as it broke 6 world speed records for a production car. It features a 5.0L V8, dual Turbo engine than can send the car up to a top speed of 273 mph. You won't even have time to think when you are going that fast, but it will be well worth it. The disheartening news is that there will only be 25 units produced.

2. SSC Tuatara

• Top Speed: 276 mph
• Horsepower: 1350 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 in 2.3 seconds

The SSC Tuatara is SSC's answer to the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. With a 6.9 L twin-turbo V8 engine that produces up to 1350 horsepower, it is not surprising that it is number two on the list. The Tuatara can reach a top speed of 276 mph as it is mostly made up of carbon fiber (including the wheels). It is the fastest car 0 - 60 around right now. It seems as though SSC did not like the Bugatti Veyron taking its record and came back with the Tuatara, which is overall a better performing car than the Veyron. Even better? It is the fastest street legal car in the world. How many truly fantastic machines can claim they are not only gorgeous but also the fastest street car in the world 2015?

1. Transtar Dagger GT

• Top Speed: 315 mph
• Horsepower: 2000 hp
• Acceleration: 0 - 60 mph in 1 second

The fastest car in the world is still in development and will be known as the Transtar Dagger GT. It will reach record breaking speeds of up to 315 mph for a production car and will be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in a mere second. This will make it the fastest accelerating car. All of this will be possible with its 10.35 L twin-turbo V8 engine, with the added benefit of having the title of world's fastest street legal car. This monster is Transtar's answer to the Veyron, but not only was it intended to beat the Veyron's records, it wants to destroy them completely. When the Transtar Dagger GT is released, expect the bar to be set a new standard.
