Zoom Past the Streets behind the Wheel of the Fastest Car in the World!

Depending on your personal preferences, your dream car could be a sleek sports car with futuristic features which you can also drive using some rent-a-car service, a rare vintage car which cost millions of dollars to restore (this one is almost never available as a rental car), or the latest model of what is considered to be the fastest car in the world. While most people can only dream of zooming past the streets behind such luxury performance cars, it never hurts to stay up to date about the latest models and makes of the fastest cars currently released in the market. After all, you can still use a car rental service to drive them for a few hours, but be very careful while driving as replacement auto parts for such cars are more expensive than one would imagine.

Which Car can Really be Considered as the Fastest in the World?
So which model and make of a vehicle can really be dubbed as the "fastest car in the world"? When you ask an automobile manufacturing company, they would claim that theirs is the fastest car in the world, but it actually depends on which category the car belongs.

Because of the figures involved, it is really quite difficult to measure the actual speed capability of a particular model and make of a car. When an auto manufacturing company claims that theirs is the fastest car currently released in the market, they actually use the vehicle's top speed as one of the constant measurements. However, it is difficult for them to provide such data with certainty, because it's almost impossible to reach conditions for the maximum speed of the car to be measured. The speed by which the car accelerates is also another factor.

As such, we have put together a list of not just one car which can be considered as the fastest in the world – but three of the fastest cars, depending on the category that they are under. Take a look at the following list:

Fastest Production Car in the World, the Bugatti Veyron
In 1987, the 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe sold for $8.7 million. It was considered as the most expensive and one of the fastest cars in the world. Today, a similar vehicle made by the same company is considered as the most expensive and fastest production car in the world: the Bugatti Veyron.

Amounting to $1.7 million each, this is by far the most expensive and fastest legal car available in the market today. The Bugatti Veyron accelerates at 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds, having a top speed of 253+mph.

Fastest Race Car in the World, the Ultima GTR
Manufactured by a British car company, the Ultima GTR was released as the ultimate race car for the road drive. It has a Chevrolet V8 engine which roars up to 730 hp, having an acceleration of 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

Fastest Car in the World Measured by Top Speed, the SSC Ultimate Aero
Finally, what can be considered as the king of the lot is the SSC Ultimate Aero. This ultra-powerful sports car is considered as the fastest car in the world which has a top speed of 257 mph. The SSC Ultimate Aero has an acceleration of 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds.
There you have it, a look at some of the fastest cars in the world. Which among these three models would you like to drive?
