In the pursuit of speed, production cars have been racing for decades. The McLaren F1 set the ridiculous production car record in 1998, averaging 240.1 mph around the Volkswagen Ehra-Lessien racetrack in Germany. In 2005, Koenigsegg topped this record by 1 mph, with its CCR supercar. Other notable records have been set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, SSC Ultimate Aero, and Veyron Super Sport.

How Many?

There are many supercars in the world, but few rival the Ferrari Enzo. This hand-built supercar from California has a top speed of 248mph and can accelerate from zero to sixty in just 2.7 seconds. Its carbon fiber body and aerodynamic features make it a highly efficient vehicle. It was also the first naturally-aspirated production car to reach 250mph. It is one of the fastest cars ever made.

Super Sport

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has been the world's fastest production car, with a top speed of 267 mph. Its twin-turbo V8 produces 1,917 horsepower and was certified by Guinness World Records as the fastest production car in 2010. The Agera RS was the first car to break the Mercedes record for the fastest production car on public roads, reaching 278 mph. However, this record-breaking car only lasted less than two years. It still holds several benchmarks, including the fastest production car in 2017. Koenigsegg did not produce a special edition of the Agera RS to celebrate its record. It was produced in small numbers and was limited to 25 units.
