5 of the fastest super cars in the world

[CA-35]

1. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport reached a Guinness World Records-certified top speed of 431 km/h or 268 mph. However, as Guinness notes, the cars shipped to customers are restricted to 258 mph — to protect the tires, which don’t hold up well at the higher speeds. The Veyron Super Sport has four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers; the 16-cylinder engine has a total of 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 lb.-ft. of torque. It is the fastest road car in production. The SSC Ultimate Aero held the previous Guinness record of 255.83 mph. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, depending on production details and foreign-exchange rates, will cost between $2.4 to $2.6 million.

2. The Hennessey Venom GT goes from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds. If you want to go to 200 mph, it will take another 12.8 seconds. It has a 6.2-liter turbocharged V8 with 1,200 horsepower and a price tag of around $1 million. Hennessey Performance Engineering says it has a theoretical top speed of 275 mph, but it has been tested to a top speed of just 260 mph.

3. The Koenigsegg Agera R has been clocked at 260 mph and does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. The company, however, claims the 2013 model has a top speed of 273 mph. The Agera, available in left- or right-hand drive, has a Koenigsegg aluminum 5.0-liter V8 with 1,140 horsepower. The price for the 2013 model hasn’t been announced yet. Earlier versions went for about $1.6 million. Remember that the optional winter wheels and tires can add another $12,000 to the price.

4. The Ultimate Aero, made by SSC North America, AKA Shelby SuperCars, goes from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds and has a tested top speed of 257.4 mph. SSC says it has a projected top speed of 273 mph. It has a SSC-designed aluminum V8 engine with 1,287 horsepower. It has a ground clearance of just 4 inches but the price is a little taller, starting around $650,000.

5. The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is a two-door coupe with a 7.0-liter all-aluminum V8, designed by Steve Saleen. The car’s price tag in 2005 was $585,000. The Twin Turbo, with the later optional competition package, has 1,000 horsepower and goes 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. It’s been tested to a speed of 248 mph.

I'll keep my '92 Ford F-150, it does 0-60mph in about 3 minutes, it's packing a straight six 318, and produces about 160 hp for a top speed of 98 mph, the price starts at $1500.00 plus options!!! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

I'll keep my 2010 Trek 3700. Not as fast as any of those cars, but she sure is pleasant...

I'd still prefer a McLaren...

My ride is a BMW 540i that's limited by gov to 155 mph. That's faster than I'm ever going to drive it. But here's guy who shows what it looks like:

The McLaren F1 super car hit 240 mph and went from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds in its heyday. Only about 106 were produced between 1992 and 1998. It’s famed for its batwing doors and its 627 horsepower, V12 engine. Its base price was around $970,000. Shown here are a few 1993 McLaren F1's, just pick your color 6L6!!.

A '78 Ford Fiesta was the first car that I ever bought new, and with my own money. It looked just like this one, and I got yellow because it was so small, I figured a bright color was important

IIRC, it was around $5K new in pretty much stripped form. It had 12" wheels, got 40mpg pretty consistently, and was actually a lot of fun to drive. There was no sound deadening in the doors, and when you turned the key, it used to echo. :shock: :lol:

Actually, there was quite a bit more room in it than you would think, Steve. Fiestas were built in Germany at the time, and we all know that there are a lot of big Germans. It was actually a great car...until I balled it up that is! :shock:

With one hand or two? :lol:

My 6'4" uncle's favorite car was the original VW Beetle. Somehow he could fold up into it and had room for a tuba and a passenger besides. As a veer I'm not sure whether it is more difficult to get a tuba in a hard case in a car or a 2x15 bass cabinet in one but I have owned cars that could barely handle either.

I want a fiesta.... I think it will fit in the trunk of my caddy...with room for the spare
