The 25 Fastest Cars in the World, Ranked
The first production vehicle to crack 200 mph was the Ferrari F40. The year was 1987; immediately after that Italian stallion’s speedometer registered 201, the race to enter the 300 mph club began. In 2019, amid fervent competition between Koenigsegg, Hennessey, and Bugatti, the Chiron Super Sport bested the others by a horseshoed nose, achieving a staggering 304.7 mph. In early 2020, a bevy of new hypercars was announced—several promising at least 300 mph. Then, in 2021, SSC North America turned a claim into reality, cementing the SSC Tuatara’s spot among the fastest ever.
Meanwhile, a relatively new name, innovative Czinger Vehicles, and long-standing icon Gordon Murray have both gained momentum. And, of course, Bugatti and Koenigsegg are busy being Bugatti and Koenigsegg. So, we’re updating our list of the fastest cars in the world it to show more wheeled lightning. For 2024, there’s a new number one in a race to go fastest. The competition also might be less relevant than ever, but that doesn’t make it any less serious for those vying for the title. (Three quick editor’s notes: our sole criterion is top speed, our floor for consideration is at least 218 mph and unproven manufacturer claims are denoted.)
