    someone asked me "what is the fastest real productionc ar ever?" by "real production car", he means nothing like the callaway sledgehammer, or anything that is exclusive to the insanely rich who are also good friends with that companies executives. also, if possible, i could use a link the cars site (english only please)

    Koenigsegg has received a Guinness Record for the most powerful production car in the world. Koenigsegg (CCR) is replacing the Mclaren F1 for this record!
    Christian v. Koenigsegg said he is happy that Guinness has recognized the CC and that he will strive for the official top speed record as well.

    Maybe the Veyron will never hit full production, because of some problems with the aerodinamic of the car, because Bugatti wanted the Veyron to reach 450 kph, and Volkswagen is tired of spending money and time with the Veyron project, so if it will hit production (most improbable) only in the next years. Plus the prototype weights more than 2 tons.

    but the koenigsegg speed records are all estimates. The true test that ever tested is the Mclaren F1 that hit 241mph.

    the ccr has like 850 hp, and a higher hp to weight ratio than the mclaren so it should beat it

    all the ccr needs now is a test track that is long enough, IT can use the one that the mclaren used. and it is 806hp.

    Horse power to weight has very little to do with top end matey.

    Best you opt for some physics lessons whilst at school and learn something.

    at the moment, the fastest tested street car is the McLaren F1. However, the Dauer 962 Le Mans has been tested by computers to reach 250 mph. It's also the record holder for the quickest 0-60 time (2.6 seconds). Many supercars have never had their top speeds tested, so right now your answer is the McLaren F1

    Doesnt the Panoz LMP-1 roadster S have the fastest 0-60(2.3 sec.)It also has a 0-100 time of4.4 seconds. But it "only" has a top speed of 181.
