Fastest car in the world

To be the Fastest car in the world is the priceless feeling for any car development team that spends so much time and effort to beat the world record. Sadly this feeling is absolutely temporary in today's modern world where this records get beaten every now and then.

“Top Speed” is the most exciting part of any car that everyone pays EXTRA attention while buying or browsing. With great advancement in technologies, car speeds have risen from 40 Kmph to above 400 Kmph in last 50 years.

Every inch of speed, multiplies human heartbeat and that’s why today car companies are paying extra attention in making road worthy cars faster and faster. To produce the "fastest car in the world" takes lot more than just an engine horsepower, as company need to balance the car power to weight ratio and design a car that is lot lighter and more agile aerodynamically to beat the previous fastest record.

The list below of Top 10 fastest cars in the world is compiled by considering all the following features combined together: Tested, Claimed, Certified, Production car, non production (hand build / custom made) etc. As we believe the that there should be a complete list of ACTUAL "Fastest car in the world" that is road worthy.

Friendly Disclaimer: A lot of time, effort, resources and rational thinking has been put together for hand crafting this beautiful list of Top 10 fastest cars in the world. Idea is to create something unique and interesting that doesn't exist anywhere yet than just replicating the ready list of Guinness World record or some motor authority certified results. Mixing the different league of production car vs custom build or new vs old etc. has been done intentionally to create a single unified list of ACTUAL fastest cars in the world on only two key parameters: "Top speed" and "road worthiness" for real car enthusiast's here at Carnity.com.

Apologies if your favorite Lambo and Ferrari didn't made in the list, because their Top speed is slower than 362 Kmph (225 Mph). Or your Bloodhound supersonic capable of 1000 Mph didn't made in the list, because they are for desert or salt track and not road worthy enough.

Having said all of the above, in case you find any information is inaccurate or wrongly positioned then please let us know and we will re-evaluate that finding and reflect in above list as fast as we can.

Btw, we are serious that this is the one and only unique list in the world. So be sure you will be the first to share this with your friend's ;-)
