10. Ascari A10 – 346 km/h [215 mph]: 

4 10. Ascari A10 – 346 km/h [215 mph] Manufacturer: Ascari Cars (British) Vital statistics: Type: 2-door coupé Engine: 5.0-liter BMW V8 S62 that produces 625 bhp Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds Transmission: 6-speed manual (sequential manual is optional) Weight: 1,280 kg Description: Modeled on Ascari's Spanish GT racer, the Ascari A10 is the street legal (albeit super car) version. To keep its weight down, the engineers designed the car’s chassis and body of carbon fiber and eliminated unnecessary luxuries like soundproofing, air conditioning and the stereo system. The company plans to produce 50 of these supercars at its factory in Banbury, England.

8 9. Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster – 349.2 km/h [217 mph] Manufacturer: Pagani Automobili S.p.A. (Italian) Vital statistics: Type: 2-door coupé Engine: 7.3-liter AMG V12 that produces 678 bhp Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds Transmission: 6-speed sequential manual Weight: 1,230 kg Description: Priced at about ` 8.3 crores and with a production list of just 5 units, this highly exclusive, limited edition monster boasts a hand-built twin turbocharged AMG V12 engine that takes it from standstill to 321 km/h in under 10 seconds. The car’s body features a mixture of carbon fiber and titanium (to keep the weight down without sacrificing solidity and strength), magnesium/titanium suspension, ceramic-coated titanium exhaust system and magnesium/aluminum rims.

11 8. Enzo Ferrari – 354.0 km/h [220 mph]

8. Enzo Ferrari – 354.0 km/h [220 mph]: 

12 8. Enzo Ferrari – 354.0 km/h [220 mph] Manufacturer: Ferrari S.p.A. (Italian) Vital statistics: Type: 2-seater Engine: F140 aluminum 6-liter V12 that produces 660 bhp Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.14 seconds Transmission: 6-speed semi-automatic Weight: 1,365 kg Description: Voted variously as one of the "Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years" and number 3 on the “Top Sports Cars of the 2000s”, the Enzo is known primarily for the extensive use of Formula 1 (F1) technology in its making. These include a carbon-fiber body, F1-style electro-hydraulic shift transmission and carbon fiber-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite disc brakes. Although listed (base) at a little over ` 3 crores, the Enzo’s market price is famous for actually increasing with every accident .

15 7. Gumpert Apollo Speed – 360.5 km/h [224.0 mph]

7. Gumpert Apollo Speed – 360.5 km/h [224.0 mph]: 

16 7. Gumpert Apollo Speed – 360.5 km/h [224.0 mph] Manufacturer: Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH (German) Vital statistics: Type: 2-seater Engine: 4.2-liter twin turbocharged (bi-turbo) Audi V8 that produces 789 bhp Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds Transmission: 6-speed sequential manual Weight: 1,150 kg (approx) Description: According to Gumpert, the Apollo is so aerodynamically optimized and produces so much downforce that, at sufficiently high speeds (in excess of 305 km/h), it is capable of being driven upside down in a tunnel . While this theory is (unsurprisingly) untested, what is known is that this powerful brute of a car has a scorching fast acceleration that rockets it from standstill to speeds of over 200 km/h in less than 9 seconds.

6. Koenigsegg Agera R – 375.0 km/h [233.0 mph]: 

20 6. Koenigsegg Agera R – 375.0 km/h [233.0 mph] Manufacturer: Koenigsegg Automotive AB (Swedish) Vital statistics: Type: 2-door, 2-seater Engine: 5-liter V8 with double overhead camshafts and twin turbo superchargers that produces 1,100 bhp Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds Transmission: 7-speed dual clutch, 1 input shaft transmission with paddle-shift Weight: 1,330 kg Description: What makes the Agera R special is the fact that it has been built and specially designed to run on E85 (and E100) biofuel (it can run on petrol too, if necessary). While the theoretical top speed of the Agera R is 440 km/h (273 mph), it is electronically locked at 375 km/h (233 mph) for safety reasons. To quote one writer – “…the insanity that is the Agera R can be had for the low, low price of US$1.4 million” ( ` 6.3 crores).

5. McLaren F1 – 391.0 km/h [243.0 mph]: 

25 5. McLaren F1 – 391.0 km/h [243.0 mph] Manufacturer: McLaren Automotive (British) Vital statistics: Type: 2-door, 3-seater coupé Engine: 6.1-liter BMW S70/2 60° V12 that produces 627 bhp Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds Transmission: 6-speed manual Weight: 1,140 kg Description: Once called the “finest driving machine yet built for the public road”, the McLaren F1 is unique in several aspects. For one, (unlike any other super car) it has 3 seats, with the driver seated in the middle and slightly ahead of 2 passengers seated on either side. Another standout feature is the lack of forced induction (in the form of turbochargers or superchargers) made use of by all the cars ahead of the F1 on this list to reach their top speeds. This makes the McLaren F1 the world’s fastest naturally aspirated production car .

Every component in the car, from the carbon fiber body and sleek, swoopy aerodynamic design to the all aluminum engine, is engineered to make it go fast….and faster. A true combination of performance and showstopping looks.

33 3. Koenigsegg CCXR – 408.8 km/h [254.0 mph] Manufacturer: Koenigsegg Automotive AB (Swedish) Vital statistics: Type: 2-door roadster Engine: 4.7-liter twin-supercharged V8 that produces 1,018 bhp on E85 biofuel and 806 bhp on petrol (98 octane) Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds Transmission: 6-speed manual, optional paddle shift Weight: 1,280 kg Description: Voted by Forbes magazine as among the 10 most beautiful cars in history (and the only contemporary car to make it onto the list), the CCXR is the “green” version of the famous CCX and, spectacularly, outdoes it on sheer performance. While a substantial gain in power when optimizing the engine for E85 (85% ethanol blended fuel) is expected, here is what the founder, Christian von Koenigsegg, had to say about the actual performance gain – “ Our engineers couldn't quite believe the figures when we tested the car " .

While it is currently number 2 on the fastest list, the massive 1,287 bhp output ensures that it continues to hold the record for the most powerful production car in the world .

43 1. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport – 431.0 km/h [267.8 mph] Manufacturer: Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. (French, subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group) Vital statistics: Type: 2-seater coupé Engine: 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged V16 that produces 1,200 bhp Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds Transmission: 7-speed direct shift gearbox Weight: 1,838 kg Description: 431 km/h has been described (by the lucky handful who have experienced it) as an obscenely absurd speed, when the whole world—including the road in front of you—is nothing but a big blur. The simple fact is: to reach astonishing speeds. you need an astonishing car. And if there ever was an astonishing car, the Super Sport is it . While it may not hold the title of fastest production car on the planet forever (SSC are working on an even more powerful version of the Aero while Hennessey Performance are nearing completion of a 1,200 bhp 2012 Venom GT with a claimed top speed of 442.5 km/h), the Super Sport is an engineering and design marvel with a permanent, proud place in the history books of the world’s fastest super cars.
