speed isn’t everything but it sure is
something
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
ridiculously fast cars
[Music]
for this list we’ll be looking at the
best ridiculously fast cars the world
has to offer we won’t just be listing
off cars according to their top speed
because where’s the fun in that
instead we’ll be taking a look at the
best of the best in the over 200
miles-per-hour Club buckle up number 10
the Saleen s7 twin turbo best known is a
company that tinker’s with Mustangs
celine decided in 2000 to build a car of
their own its first model the s7 was
among the fastest and most powerful cars
in the world
nice car yeah it gives me for me to be
in 2005 celine upped the ante revamping
the car and giving it 7.0 litre v8 a set
of twin turbochargers bringing the car
up to 750 horsepower or an optional 1000
horses that much power in a light carbon
fiber based build means the s7 is a
virtual rocket capable of 248 miles per
hour and 0 to 60 in just 2.8 seconds
number nine the Lamborghini Aventador
replacing the marciella go and
inheriting much of its damn fine looks
from the Reventon the all-wheel drive
Aventador is quite possibly the best
driving Lamborghini ever made it’s also
quite fast officially clocked at 217
miles per hour and hitting 60 miles per
hour from stop in 2.9 seconds thanks to
its 6.5 litre v12 although not as fast
in terms of top speed this Lambo was
actually quicker around Top Gear’s test
track than a Bugatti Veyron and lapped
the Nurburgring in less than seven
minutes the Aventador also served as the
basis for the 4.5 million dollar veneno
which celebrated Lamborghinis 50 years
of car making number eight the Pagani
Huayra as the replacement to the Zonda
and the spiritual successor to the Zonda
R the Huayra had some big speedy shoes
to fill and by all accounts it did
powered by Mercedes AMG 6.0 litre v12
putting out 720 bhp coupled with a
7-speed transmission this speed machine
can hit 238 miles per hour with a 0 to
60 time of just 3 seconds it gets 14
miles per gallon on the highway but if
you’ve got one of these you’re not
hurting for gas money made of lots of
carbon fiber and loads of titanium and
priced at 1.3 million dollars each wire
is are as pricey as they are fast number
7 the Ferrari laferrari following in the
tracks of the Enzo and inheriting
genetics from the FXX
the
our ela Ferrari is gorgeous from all
angles loaded with electronics built of
carbon and armed with carbon ceramic
brakes this is a marvel of automotive
engineering powered by a 6.3 liter v12
in conjunction with a 161 bhp electronic
motor the laferrari has a total of 950
horses in its corral and a top speed of
217 miles per hour with 0 to 60 times in
less than 3 seconds and a 150 mile per
hour 9.8 quarter-mile quick is an
understatement number 6 the McLaren p1
electronically limited to 217 miles per
hour the p1 is actually slower than its
older brother from the 90s the
groundbreaking f1 however uncapped the
new boy is faster hitting a mind-melting
247 miles per hour getting 727 bhp from
a 3.8 liter twin-turbo v8 and an
additional 176 horses from its electric
partner-in-crime the p1 and its 2.8
seconds zero to 60 time are fast enough
for most people if however you must go
faster there’s the track only 987 bhp
GTR but your lead feet better have deep
pockets all 35 GTRs are limited to stock
p1 owners number 5 the Gumpert Apollo
it’s a terrible name and it’s demonic
looks and gullwing doors split the room
but the Apollo can really move developed
by Roland Gumpert a former outtie
executive and director of Audi Sport the
Apollo was designed to be both Road
legal and track ready powered by an Audi
based 4.2 litre twin-turbo v8 Apollo can
hit 220 3.9 miles per hour and we’ll see
62 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds Gumpert
claims as f1 teams do that his creation
is so aerodynamic that it could drive
upside down if in a tunnel and doing at
least 190 miles per hour
probably best to let somebody else try
first number for the 9ff gt9
are based on the Porsche 911 gt3
9ff gt9 are was built to be lighter
quicker and faster than Porsche ever
dreamed of a key difference is that the
9ff is mid-engined rather than rear
mount giving it better balance than its
cousin built on the Porsche 997 platform
and using a modified version of the
company’s 4.0 liter flat six the basic
GT 9 was actually faster than the
original bugatti veyron gutted for
weight and with the bhp up to two 1120
the GT 9r tops out at 257 miles per hour
and can do 0 to 60 in less than three
seconds number three the Hennessey Venom
GT there’s nothing simple about the
Hennessey Venom except its goal speed a
modified Lotus Exige it’s as much
British as it is Texan yet Hennessey and
Lotus are not partners hitting 69 miles
per hour in first gear and recording a
top speed of 270 point 4 9 miles per
hour
although the company claims it can go
278 the venom and its 427 CI v8 capable
of producing 1244 bhp of power is faster
than a Veyron but because there are
fewer than 30 sold it does not qualify
as the world’s fastest car one is owned
by Aerosmith Steven Tyler well they’re
sandals they are all made with socks
with silk which is notable as the spider
version was created at his request
guinness may not approve but the numbers
don’t lie
number 2 the Koenigsegg won 2-1 an
incredible feat of Engineering the one
to one based in part on the Agera was
named for its power-to-weight ratio
thirteen hundred and sixty PS to
thirteen hundred and sixty kilograms
hitting zero to sixty in 2.8 seconds and
200 miles per hour in just fourteen
point three seconds the one to one and
it’s 5.0 litre twin-turbo v8 eventually
top out at 273 miles per hour
stopping meanwhile is just as upchucking
ly fast 200 miles per hour to a stop
takes
6.3 seconds due to the cars carbon
ceramic brakes the one-to-one could be a
contender for the world’s fastest car
but with just six units produced it does
not qualify under Guinness World Records
rules the jerks before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
[Music]
number one the bugatti veyron 16.4 Super
Sport at least try to look surprised
limited to just 30 units the Super Sport
was built to claim the title of world’s
fastest car once and for all which as
we’ve seen is not without controversy
with the 8-litre w16 s power upped to
1,200 metric horsepower and the body
completely made of carbon fiber the
Veyron SS does 0 to 60 in 2.46 seconds
and cruises smoothly up to 267.8 miles
per hour however to keep its tires from
ripping to shreds speed is governed to a
slightly tamer 258 miles per hour
the Veyron SS briefly made James May the
world’s fastest man an unofficial title
that lasted about an hour
there is him celebrating I added my
