I was thinking probably the fastest stock cars ever would be the Ford GT90 or TVR Speed 12, but after that there's probably the McClaren F1.

The fastest production car is the 1995 McLaren F1 LM. Some people may argue that the Dauer LM is the fastest production car, but since it's sold as a race car, it's not considered production. According to the 2003 Guinness Book of Records.

Arguably the Dauer 962 LM

With such a low sportscar you would get stuck on a speed-slowing bump in the road :D
(I don't know the english word for it).

Right now the fastest production car is the Koenigsegg CC 8S. A recently started Swedish or Swiss company ( I forget which exactly).

With a carbon fiber Ford engine, crazy aerodynamics, and a high price to match the high speed to be sure.:D

The fastest production car would deffinately be the ''95 McLaren F1 LM.

Bob, you have a problem with your question. The GT90 was never put into production, neither was the speed 12. Peter Wheeler (TVR) drove the prototype home and realised that 800bhp could not be safely transmitted to the rear tyres. The racing TVR's have huge slicks that can't cope with the torque. There and then he decided it had to be canned.

That leaves the Macca. And every-one else here is correct.

But then it should be for $1,000,000 ;)

And yes I would have one in an instant, no hesitation.

Keep smiling.:D

I remember reading soemwhere that a half dozen were built before they were canned. Then the production of the speed 12 was cahged over to the Cerbera platform and last I heard they were still making them.

Yes that's true...Some of the Speed 12s have gone out of the factory...Apart from them I really don't know what happenned to them...

Now I saw in the site that the first Speed 12 (not the Cerbera Speed 12 one) of 1997 was built in 2 pieces...
The 2001 one will be built in little pieces...

In this site:
This is the 1997 car :

And this is the 2000 car (Cerbera Speed 12) :

OKAY lets clear this up.

Speed 12 = Not produced
Cerbera speed 12 = was produced. however
It was produced SOLELY for racing, and NOT as a road car. The TVR website is here (http://www.tvr.co.uk) .
Have a look at the timeline, and the motorsport section.

I have to reiterate this. YOU COULD NOT BUY IT AS A ROAD CAR.

I have this feeling you won't believe me regardless. So, a prize to the person that finds me wrong :rolleyes:

Anyway just in case you would like more pics

Actually, if you're talking purely top speed, the non-LM (I don't dare call it "normal") version is actually quite a bit faster. The aerodynamics of the LM make for better roadholding, but it is actually significantly less "slippery".

Yeah, the non-LM (I think McLaren F1 XP5 is the official name) is the fastest roadcar in the world.

c'mon man you've been asked via a PM to stop digging up old threads to post inane, unsupported comments that dont' add anything.

PLEASE think before posting.

If the Top Speed has been approved by an official source, then yes. If it hasn't, then it's not.

253 was apparentlt achieved at VW's 9 mile long drag strip thing, but as the only people there were VW employees its hardly official.

Top speed is now confirmed at 253 mph. It is officially the fastest car in the world.

finally the correct answer


How is it that people argue about things that can be googled in about 3 seconds? posts like these don't offer any insight they are just easily researchable facts. If anyone who thought that any car besides the Veyron was the fastest didn't take 3 seconds to look it up on a search engine to check.

J, lots of web sites are actually citing the Veyrons imaginary figures first posted months ago and SOME sites are claiming speeds based on wrong conditions. eg C&D is not a recognised record run, it's there own "version".

Except for UCP you should never trust the web :D

As far as I know magazines count as a recognised run, it's third party and recorded on reliable equipment. These magazines make their living on testing cars, it's their job. And magazines such as Car and Driver, Road & Track, etc, are reliable.

I know there are events set up to solely record runs and times, but when a third party tests a car it's usually noted as legit.

there is another production car....it is thought to be the fastest car ever....the SSC ULTIMATE AERO....1046hp capable of 250mph but is thought to be capable of reaching 273mph it is sold as a production car...is i said something wrong plz correct me

A couple of issues here:

1) Its not in production,
2) There is not a hope it will get to 273m/h without a lot more power.

1000 hp seems to be enuff ...
if it has low enuff drag it can be easily done

The info I have found on those figures give that speed as the max with the cars drag and 1000bhp to overcome it.

Unfortunatly there is no power then to overcome rolling resistance or drivetrain losses.......

Supposedly the CCR could surpass the record of the Veyron but as Ehra Leissen test track (9 km long) is owned by VW group it cannot be tested there. In ovals the top speed is supposedly always a bit lower than in a straight line, but as there is not other test track long enough, Koenigsegg (Swedish, btw) cannot retake the record for the moment.

it was the end of the thread TWO YEARS AGO
congratulations for reviving a two year old thread. and your wrong, its the koenigsegg ccr now

FFS wats wrong with u all the VEYRON 407 kmh or if u remove the limiter (God have mercy on his soul who does) it will do 440kmh but then the tyres would probably burn out and then followed up but and explosion and some blood and guts. Who cares anyway its just a figure which most of the losers who buy the cars dont even reach which is sad.

maybe you should pay more attention and read the date and time of the posts made.
you'll notice my post was made some time go which was before the veyron had been tested. ;)

Nothing wrong there but SSC said it would reach 273mph but it hasent gone near there.. yet

Ok if ya ask me, i've done sum research a bit n from wat i can gather, the fastest car would be the SSC Ultimate Aero TT (stands for Twin Turbo), with 1180HP (2007 Version), followed by the Bugatti Veyron, with 1001hp. next up i would say is the BEAUTIFUL 2001 ABFlug S900 Supra, with about 900hp (that is for the actual remodeled car, not the original car fitted with a body kit, there were 2 versions). Then would be the Koenigsegg CCR, with sumwhere n the 800hp range, followed by the SSC Aero Base Model, putting out about 787HP. Finally the McLaren F1. If ya do sum searching around a bit, u should come across the actual info of the remodeled Supra (which is a completely different car compared to the original toyota supra). Reason for saying this is because i know a lot of people will argue over the Supra being 3rd placed, but if ya find the right car, not the ever so popular Supra with a fitted bodykit, then u'd see my point.......D*** u Bugatti and SSC!!!! lol i wanted the Supra ta be first (my fav car) but yea 2 other cars won this one. ;) :p ;)


******BTW*******

My ranking was based on the fastest in terms of **HORSEPOWER**. i DO want to point out that the rankings would be entirely different if u wanted to rank based on top speed. The list would remain unchanged except for the fact that the Supra would be knocked off the list (:( ) due to the top speed limiter stopping the car from reaching above 202MPH. Without the limiter, who knows what the top speed could be, it may or may not compete with the Bugatti Veyron or SSC Ultimate Aero TT, but either way it is not known so i dont really wanna bother debating on that issue, no actual recordings, only opinionated. the other cars, CCR, F1, etc would just move up 1 in ranking. however the Veyron could take first due to it having the top speed record 253.2MPH, but the Aero TT i would consider to keep the 1st place ranking due to the attempted top speed test (which was limited due to weather issues) had it cruising at about 230MPH at only half throttle. U all decide for yourselves how u look at this situation.

Please note on behalf of a Markie Boy who stated that the Veyron was capable of 440KM/H, the 2008 Model of the SSC Ultimate Aero TT is said to have its 6 speed transmission tweaked in order to increase it's theoretical top speed to approx 286.272MPH (which translates to approx 458KM/H) at 7200RPM

Interesting but the latest CCXR has 1018bhp and the SSC Aero also has over 900bhp IIRC. So your Supra isn't even on the podium...

Let's play choose the one that doesn't belong. SSC Ultimate Aero: production, or near production stock supercar. Bugatti Veyron: production, stock supercar. ABFlug Supra: tuned supra.

Tuners don't count.
