25 of the Fastest Road Cars Ever Made
These cars do it with ease.
As cars have advanced, so have their top speeds. Not too long ago, surpassing the 200 mph mark was unthinkable. These next 25 cars do it with ease.
In choosing the list, we stuck with cars from manufacturers that aren't one hit wonders or super tuners, so no SSC Ultimate Aero or Hennessey Venom. If a top speed isn't verified (sorry Koenigsegg One:1), we didn't include it. Also, we included the fastest version of a car, so if there was a model with a top speed 2 mph lower than the one we included, it's not on here.
Did we miss something? Let us know in the comments.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Top speed: 267.9 mph
No one has officially beaten the Super Sport's top speed (the Hennessey Venom has run 270 MPH +, but that wasn't officially official) record—yet. With the Chiron coming soon, Bugatti might just beat itself.
Koenigsegg Agera R
Top speed: 260 mph
With a twin-turbo V8 that produces 1,140 hp, it's no wonder the Agera R can smash its way up to 260 mph.
Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Top speed: 254.04 mph
What other car can boast a 254 mph top speed and a super luxurious cabin like the Veyron's?
McLaren F1
Top speed: 243 mph (with rev limiter taken off, 240.1 with rev limiter engaged)
Gordon Murray's ultimate road car is this, the McLaren F1. It was never even intended to hold the top speed record, that was just a side effect of the aero design and power that the car had.
Koenigsegg CCR
Top speed: 241 mph
Fast, and rare: Koenigsegg only made 14 examples of the CCR. Koenigsegg also says that the CCR's successor, the CCX, has a top speed in excess of 248 MPH, but that hasn't been verified.
Pagani Huayra
Top speed: 230 mph
A 720 bhp twin-turbo AMG V12 and active aero suspension help the Huayra achieve its top speed.
Lamborghini Veneno
Top speed: 221 mph
The chances of you seeing one of these in person? Probably zero, because Lamborghini only built three coupes and nine roadsters.
Aston Martin One-77
Top speed: 221 mph
Aston only made 77 of these mid-engined beauties, and they cost over $1 million each.
Pagani Zonda
Top speed: 220 mph
The Zonda came with enough versions to make your head spin, but the later versions, such as the Tricolore , were easily able to top 200 mph.
Pagani
Lamborghini Aventador SV
Top speed: 220 mph
Lamborghini's current flagship supercar whose posters adorn bedroom walls everywhere.
Ferrari Enzo
Top speed: 218 mph
The Enzo's goal wasn't outright top speed, but 218 is not too shabby.
Ferrari LaFerrari
Top speed: 217 mph
Ferrari's current flagship uses a clever hybrid system to achieve maximum power, but it's still one mph behind its predecessor.
McLaren P1
Top speed: 217 mph
As McLaren's next flagship after the F1, the P1 doesn't quite achieve the F1's top speed, but is no less impressive.
Bugatti EB110 GT
Top speed: 213 mph
Before Bugatti was making Veyrons, it was making and setting records with this: the EB110 GT.
Jaguar XJ220
Top speed: 213 mph
Jaguar only made 275 examples of the XJ220, so your chances of seeing one are pretty slim.
Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV
Top speed: 212 mph
The Murciélago SV was the fastest version of Lamborghini's big bad supercar. If you had the smallest wing on it, it also went 212 MPH.
Lamborghini
Ferrari F12berlinetta
Top speed: 211 mph
Ferrari's current front-engined V12 grand tourer, the F12berlinetta is comfortable and really damn fast. And the upcoming F12tdf might be even faster.
Porsche 918 Spyder
Top speed: 211 mph
With an electric motor driving the front wheels and an gas motor driving the rear, the 918 Spyder produces over 800 hp.
Lamborghini Diablo GT
Top speed: 210 mph
The Diablo was a visceral and raw Lamborghini experience that used a 5.7 liter V12.
Ferrari 599 GTO
Top speed: 208 mph
Ferrari's previous front-engined V12 grand tourer was also able to put down a top speed of 208 mph.
Ferrari
Mercedes SLR McLaren
Top speed: 207 mph
The long nose and scissor doors on the SLR McLaren keeps it modern-looking, despite it being over 10 years old.
McLaren MP4-12C
Top speed: 207 mph
McLaren announced its intention to return to building road cars again in 2011. The MP4-12C, despite its long name, topped out at 207 mph.
Porsche GT2 RS
Top speed: 206 mph
A lightweight body that produced 620 hp meant that the GT2 RS could do over 200 mph and not even break a sweat.
Porsche Carrera GT
Top speed: 205 mph
Strip away traction control give a light body a crazy V10? You get a Carrera GT, Porsche road going race car.
