![]() The record wouldn’t stand for long, however just two months later, Bugatti would take the crown in spectacular fashion. Koenigsegg’s second-ever production model used a 4.7-litre twin-supercharged V8 to produce 596kW and urge it on to beat the McLaren by a single mile per hour. The car to knock the F1 off the top spot did so at Italy’s Nardo Ring test track in February 2005. However, that figure required the rev limiter to be raised to 8300rpm – no production F1 has ever been recorded at more than 340km/h, though unmodified, the 6.1-litre V12 should be capable of a still astonishing 350km/h. McLaren F1 – 386.4km/hįamously set by racing driver Andy Wallace at Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test track in March 1998, the monumental British hypercar carried the title of World’s fastest production car for the best part of 15 years. With that in mind, here are the fastest production road cars by the numbers (from ‘slowest’ to fastest). Like owning a watch that works on the moon, or a pen that can write at 200m under the sea, it’s nice to know that, your car can perform speed miracles – were you to find somewhere where it was safe and legal to do so. Unless it set a time in real life, it hasn’t made the cut. ![]() ![]() That’s why this list focuses on recorded times, not the ‘theoretical’ top speed figures. Speed matters, especially when it comes to the fastest cars in the world.īut what manufacturers claim their multi-million dollar hypercars are capable of and what they have actually been proven to achieve are two very different things. ![]()
