super websites
um.. where is agera R?
or am i missing something in here
and in that matter where is lambo sesto elemento?
Yeah, agera R must be the 2nd fastest car and the fastest car must be Koenigsegg One:1. Nobody can beat koenigsegg with speed.
And I saw agera R hitting 319mph in unofficial vid xD
your reading kph buddy
i know that is almost the same speed as the Hennessy venom
I totally disagree with the two comment above me. I Hennessey Venom is the fastest car in the world
No it isn’t. It is the Koenisegg Agera one:1 273,71 mph
Koenisegg Agera top speed is 440 km/h (273mph). but no record that Koenisegg Agera car can reach its top speed.
it really isnt the fastest car is the agera R
THE FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD IS THE SSC TUATARA! 444 KPH / 275 MPH!
SSC TUATARA top speed is 444 km/h (276mph). but no record that SSC TUATARA car can reach its top speed yet.
Boy, the SSC has not set an official record, same as the Agera One:1. Koenigsegg claims that, but now the Hennesy Venom GT is fastest. Even if the Agera one 1 does do 273, the 2016 Venom will do 280+, and the F5 will do 290+. Want to know where I got my info? The hennesy venom website and wiki. Thank you.
Hi Radhydra, thank for your sharing.
The Hennessey Venom GT is not the fastest car in the world.
Yes correct it can’t be koeing is the fastest
The Koenigsegg Agera is 435 kph / 270 mph, Koenigsegg One:1 cannot beat the SSC TUATARA. Don’t bother arguing.
439 miles
Koenisegg Agera top speed is 440 km/h (273mph) & SSC TUATARA top speed is 444 km/h (276mph). but no record that Koenisegg Agera & SSC TUATARA can reach its top speed yet.
Also there is info about the venom going to 280 mph soon.
superb my hennesey venom gt car
The Koenigsegg one:1 is the fastest far then the Koenigsegg Agera R
This is complete messed up. There are heaps of cars that are not supposed to be here. This is missing heaps of cars. Agera r is the third fastest and bugatti super sport is 1st and hennesy venom gt is 2nd and agera is 3rd. This doesn’t no nothing
The tuatara is the fastest car of now but they are making a hennessy f5 which will be the fastest car in the world hitting like 280 or more
reno reynolds, how you get this info? can you show us its record that can reach this top speed 280mph?
http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/hennessey-venom-f5-revealed-2014-08-04
Proof that hennessey venom f5 will go up to 290 mph. Its will come out in 2016.
the SSC is the fastest
Man everyone knows koenigsegg agerras are top euro spec cars so i think they are illegal PLUS this is all about top 10 street legal fastest cars of the world.
the SSC is the fastest
Yeah the SSC tuatara is the fastest car…
Were are the corvettes the newest corvette can go 350 mph it is amazing
It is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You missed A LOT of cars.
Its not about how fast you can gow its about the beauty and the monster underneath ,”/ bugatti is the best…. Gemmeny engineering and style design
Reply gagnut:
you are …. the agara r dose not even touch 300 mph
the venom didn’t set the record over a flying kilometer, reaching its speeds both upwind and downwind, and as a result is not officially the fastest car in the world. also, a lot of cars were skipped, like the pagani huarya, lamborghini sesto elemento, and koenigsegg agera r, to name a few. please edit this list because its horrible.
i like sports cars and I wish one day I come to test one or even own on,what I can ask if there the fastest cars do they have the fastest way of protecting the driver during a suddenly
occurance of an accident
This list is totally innacurate…their many cars that werent included in that list, just like the other guy said, no Sesto Elemento, no Agera R. and what about the Lykan Hypersport at 242 mph, huh.redraw your list please.
our writer will update the list soon. thanks for your feedback.
wow wow wow , 1 244 horsepower guys , yakapenga … Hennessey Venom GT yakumberi
How cum koenigsegg one:1 is not in the list ?? Koenigsegg one:1 is definately the fastest street legal production car in the world till date.No car has been able to break records set by one: . The only threat to one:1 is henessy venom f5 ( not launched yet )
I have been following this website for a long while and is wondering if it ever gets updated?
Coz im not gonna waste my tym on old things tht neva gets updated……. blahhh
SO AWESOME
this is awesome, though u missed a lot of cars dude
yes joe. we will update this list soon for 2016 fastest car. thanks for value feedback.
You guys forgot a lot of cars including several koenigseggs and the Nissan R390 GT1 and the TVR Cebera speed 12. There are a ton of cars missing on this list.
THE KOENIGSEGG ONE 1 IS NOT THE FASTEST. THE SPEED IS NOT CLAMIED! PEOPLE SWEAR UP AND DOWN THEY KNOW CARS. They don’t. There is no street legal car that can do 300 or 400 mph. I wish these non car people would just stop because In the comments people are making no sense. The hennesy venom is fastest and the 2016 will do 280+ and the F5 somehow they claim will do 290+. But today, THE AGERA ONE 1, THE BUGATTI, OR THE SSC IS NOT THE FASTEST. THE SSC HAS NOT POSTED AN OFFICAL SPEED JUST LIKE THE KOENIGEGG AGERA ONE 1. Thank you
The are all very fast cars, special the Hennessey Venom GT.
the 1244-bhp Venom GT, an aluminum-chassis, carbon-bodied machine whose 7.0-liter twin-turbo aluminum-block V-8 will obliterate any other production car from 50 to well over 250 mph.
Wow that is fast!
