As a lover of fast cool cars, we have created the top 10 fastest cars in the world. Many believe the Bugatti Veyron to be the worlds fastest production car which is incorrect. It actually comes in 4th position so starting at 10th position and working our way down, here are the 10 fastest cars in the world...
10th Fastest Car in the World = Jaguar XJ220 - 227mph
9th Fastest Car in the World = Ultima GT-R640 - 231mph
8th Fastest Car in the World = TVR Cebera Speed 12 - 240mph
7th Fastest Car in the World = Mclaren F1 - 240mph
6th Fastest Car in the World = Koenigsegg CCX - 241mph
4th Fastest Car in the World = Bugatti Veyron - 253mph
3rd Fastest Car in the World = Koenigsegg CCXR- 254mph
2nd Fastest Car in the World = Porsche GT9 - 254mph
The Fastest Car In The World Is....
So we've gone through the top 10, 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!
Number 1 Fastest Car in the World = Shelby Super Cars (SSC) Ultimate Aero - 257mph

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?
