cars’ in the world list. The car has a unique interior design of being a
three-seater with the driver’s seat at the center and two passenger

Horsepower and peak torque of 520 lb-ft, enabling the vehicle to
accelerate from zero to 60 in just 3.2 seconds. The overall design of

NUMBER 6
Koenigsegg enters the top 10 list with its CCR model that
is a mid-engine sports car that also briefly held the ‘world’s fastest’
title before being vanquished by the original Bugatti Veyron. The CCR
model reached a top speed of 242 mph in 2005 at the Italy’s Nardo Ring
and it was among the trendsetters for faster supercars, after McLaren
and Ferrari of course.
The CCR is an earlier generation of Koenigsegg’s cars, but it still
manages to be one of the fastest. Not to mention, the Koenigsegg was the
first ever production vehicle to beat McLaren’s 8-year streak as the
fastest production car on the market. The car comes equipped with a
large and powerful 4.7-liter V8 Engine that is capable of generating 806
hp and 920 lb-ft torque. According to manufacturer estimates, the
vehicle can zoom from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds and can complete a standing quarter mile of 9.7 seconds at 146 mph.

TOP SPEED: 242 MPH
NUMBER 5
Produced by SSC North America (formerly known as Shelby SuperCars),
the SSC Ultimate Aero is a mid-engine sports car that held the title of
the world’s fastest production car from Guinness World Records for 3
years (2007 to 2010), till Bugatti introduced the Veyron Super Sport.
However, in 2013, the Guinness World Records disqualified the Bugatti
Veyron’s record time due to some unknown reasons and reinstated the SSC
Aero as the fastest production car ever.
However, this change too was reverted five days later. Regardless,
for a rather new company in the market, SSC has generated a lot of
attention with its Ultimate Aero car. The vehicle comes equipped with a
6.3-Liter Twin-Turbocharged V8 Engine that is capable of generating an
impressive horsepower of 1,287 and torque of 1,112 lb-ft.
It has a top speed of 256 mph, just 1 mph less than the GT9-R!
Nevertheless, with its beast of an engine the vehicle can easily hit 200
mph in under 16 seconds, which is quite reasonable for a car that is available
for only €550,000. The only drawback of the vehicle is it doesn’t
feature any electronic driver aids to help control the power of the
engine. The vehicle may gain both positive and negative reviews, as some
would like a purer driving experience and others would bemoan the lack
of top of the line safety features.
CAR: SSC ULTIMATE AERO
TOP SPEED: 256 MPH
NUMBER 4
Built by the German tuning company, 9ff, the GT9 is a supercar based
on the historic Porsche 911. In fact, the looks and exterior styling of
the car is also pretty similar to the 911, only with the interior of the
car being stripped out for lightness and looks basic as compared to the
Porsche. The car is faster than the original Bugatti Veyron, but slower
than the SuperSport model.
Regardless, the GT9-R is purely a beast on the roads and comes
equipped with a rather unique technology. It is fitted and modified with
a 4.0-Liter Flat 6 Engine (six cylinders arranged horizontally in two
banks of three cylinders) which enables the vehicle to produce an
impressive horsepower of 1,120 and torque of 910 lb-ft.
This massive engine enables the vehicle to reach top speeds of 257
mph and also gives it the ability speed from zero to 60 mph in just 2.9
seconds, and accelerate from halt to 190 mph in under 16 seconds. The
makers of the GT9-R have ensured no two vehicles manufactured are alike
and offers potential owners with the option of customizing or
personalizing their vehicles to their liking when it comes to design,
color, and performance.

TOP SPEED: 257 MPH
NUMBER 3
The Bugatti Veyron held the Guinness World Record for being the
fastest supercar in the world for years and was the first ever
production car to exceed the 250 mph mark. However, after facing a few
technical difficulties, its title was taken over by the Koenigsegg. This
is when Bugatti introduced its Super Sport model that has a max speed
of 268 mph.
5 mph less than the Koenigsegg, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport comes
equipped with an 8-Liter Quad-Turbo W16 Engine that is capable of
generating an impressive torque of 1,106 lb-ft and horsepower 1,200 HP,
enabling the car to go from zero to 60 in 2.4 seconds. The best feature
of the Super Sport is it makes reaching insane speeds seem effortless.
As a result, the vehicle is a breeze to drive and also comfortable and
luxurious to sit in, even though it is a supercar. And, this is one of
the main reasons why that despite its €1.6 million price tag, the
vehicle has been selling well and the demand is high.

TOP SPEED: 268 MPH
NUMBER 2
Coming second in the world’s fastest cars category is the Hennessey
Venom GT, which is a relatively new name in the industry, but has
generated quite a buzz in a short period of time. The car is based on a
modified Lotus Exige and has a max speed of 270 mph (just 3 mph less
than the Koenigsegg). As a result, the vehicle will terrify anyone upon
first glance, as it is purely a beast.
Packed with a mighty 7.0 Liter Twin-Turbocharged V8 Engine, the Venom
GT is capable of generating an outstanding and dazzling horsepower of
1,244 and torque of 1,155 pound-feet, hence enabling the car to fly from
halt to 62 mph within 2.8 seconds only and accelerate from zero to 200
mph in 14.51 seconds (all thanks to the intercooler upgrades and
single-clutch shift system to ensure faster shift times).

AND HERE IS OUR...... NUMBER 1
Although, Koenigsegg isn’t a household name in the world of
supercars, like Bugatti or Ferrari, it has managed to develop quite a
reputation over a short period of time, beating the best supercars in
the market. And, the Agera R model is a perfect example of the brand’s
might and power that blows all other supercars in the storm with a top
speed of over 273 mph, faster than any other supercar you will find on
the market today. This is why it’s also known as the fastest car in the
world currently.
The car comes with a 5-Liter Turbocharged V8 DOHC engine with a
compression ratio of 9.0:1 and is capable of generating an impressive
1200 pound-feet of torque and horsepower of 1140, hence enabling the
vehicle to zoom from halt to 60 mph within less than 2.5 seconds and reach speeds from 0 to 186 mph within 11.7 seconds (a world record).
