Fastest cars in the world by top speed, 0-60 and quarter mile:
A claim for the title of “Fastest Car in the World” might seem easy to settle. It’s actually anything but: Are we talking production cars, race cars or customized monsters? And what does “fastest” even mean? For years, car publications have tended to define “fastest” in terms of an unbeatable top speed. That’s distinct from the “quickest” car in a Usain Bolt-style dash from the starting blocks, as with the familiar 0-60 mph metric.
For most barroom speed arguments, the focus is firmly on cars you can buy in showrooms, even if many are beyond the financial means of all but the wealthiest buyers and collectors. Here are some of the enduring sources of speed claims, counter-claims, tall tales and taunting dismissals that are the lifeblood of car enthusiasts – now with Teslas and other EVs adding an unexpected twist to these passionate pursuits.
In 1998, five years after its debut, the McLaren F1 – the first streetgoing car from the British racing specialists – set a ridiculous new pace for a production automobile: A two-way average top speed of 240.1 mph at Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien track in Germany. . Sweden’s Koenigsegg topped that by about 1 mph in 2005 with its CCR. Then the one-upmanship really began, with record-shattering hypercars in the Bugatti Veyron 16.
