For a short pTop-10-Fastest-SSC-Ultimate-Aero--Dailycarblogeriod of time, the virtually unknown SSC Ultimate Aero was the fastest production car in the world. In 2007, it topped the list even though SSC North America was a newcomer in the auto industry. It may not be the fastest anymore, but you can’t help but be impressed by its 256 mph top speed, produced from a V8 with 1,287 bhp. Although it went out of production in  2013, the rush of adrenaline that comes from the Ultimate Aero is almost unmatched even today.

Bugatti has always been known as a leader in performance cars. However, as newer vehicles like the SSC Ultimate Aero took the lead from Bugatti, Volkswagen responded with the Veyron Super Sport. The W16 engine packs a punch and so does the purchase price, which is in the neighborhood of $2 million.

There’s a bit of controversy surrounding the Hennessy Venom GT. The speed of 270 miles an hour was clocked only once going one direction. Top speeds are usually recorded by averaging performance in opposite directions to compensate for wind. However, there’s no denying this drop-dead gorgeous car is a speed demon, no matter what direction it’s going.

How long will Koenigsegg be the king of speed? And how long with these 10 remain the fastest cars? Who knows! But for 2018, you can’t find a faster car in the world than the Agera RS. It’s always amazing to see how technological advancements lead to impressive enhancements to existing modes of transportation.
