    It depends a lot on the class. Next time either just search the forums or ask the question clearly. Has it ever occured to you that if you asked this question somebody could think you were talking about the fastest 2 litre 4 door car in the world...?

    Things to consider

    Type:
    Track Car
    Street Car
    Professional Racer (WRC, DTM, etc etc)

    Fastest in what?
    Top Speed
    Acceleration

    Again, fastest where?
    In a straight line
    On a track
    On the streets

    Fastest in which price range?
    00,000 - 50,000
    50,000 - 100,000
    100,00 - ?

    And so it goes on and on ^^

    Fastest what?
    2 Door Coupe
    4 Door Sedan
    5 Door Hatch/Wagon

    What engine size?
    1l
    2l
    3l
    4l
    5l
    6l

    Then, status:
    Road legal
    Not road legal

    Showroom status?
    Few made
    Many made

    Showroom status II
    Sold
    Not sold

    Type
    Concept
    Prototype
    Production
    Limited Manufacturing

    Feel free to add on.....

    If nobody's noticed I've decided to vent out my anger on this thread....
    Ah, whatever

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Yeah, if we're taking it that way I guess the Elise could be called second cause nothing can catch it with its incredible steering abilities on the streets

    The fastest car which someone is most likely to buy is the koeinigsegg.

    As far as I know the Bugatti was tested in a straight line. The Koenigsgg on Nardo.
    plus. The Veyrons record isn't official. However... I'm not saying it isn't... But as Wouter stated, the car isn't in production, thus making this rather pointless.
    PR-wise it is a good move from VW though.

    What about the Ultima GTR?
    No-so-proud owner of a 1986 Mustang LX with the 2.3L four. Anyone wanna buy it? $500. I'll post some pics and info in the user's rides section soon.

    I don't need anything too fancy, just something that can get me to the sun and back in 5 seconds flat.

    I wanna see a comparison test between the Saleen SR, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ford GT, and Ferrari Challange Stradale. Anyone wanna help me with that? I already know who'd win, though ;).

    In terms of top speed the Ultima isn't a match for the Bugatti et al, but in terms of acceleration (0-60, 0-100, 0-100-0) the Ultima GTR640 is currently the quickest.

    only one person has mentioned the 9ff, which if you knew about it on a banked track which slowed it down it beat the Mclaren and could, on a flat course beat anything else, with a six cylinder engine, who said size matters?
