WORLD'S FASTEST PRODUCTION CAR


The world’s fastest production car is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with a top speed of 267.8 mph.  Costing approximately €2,000,000 it is not cheap, the tyres alone costing around €20,000.  Powered by an 8.0 litre W16 engine, fed by four turbo chargers, creating 1,200hp the Bugatti goes from 0-60mph in just 2.5 seconds and 0-200-0mph in 25.6 seconds.  The Bugatti also has an air brake at the back supplying the same braking qualities as a Ford Fiesta’s brakes, a 7 speed gearbox, a carbon fibre body and a four wheel drive system.  Only 30 of the Super Sport editions of the Veyron will be built, these will be limited to 258 mph due to safety and the tyres limits.
