The Koenigsegg Agera RS is a hybrid of sorts (no, not that kind of hybrid). The SSC Tuatara is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter V8 producing 1,350 horsepower using 91 octane gas and 1,750 horses if you slip in some E85 juice. But that record wasn’t official, apparently, so they went back and did another run in January 2021, this time officially grabbing the record at 282.9 mph. On October 10th, 2020, the SSC Tuatara managed to claim the title of the world’s fastest production vehicle by clocking an average run of 316.11 mph (508.73 kph), also claiming the title for the first production car to break the 500 kph barrier. Created by American supercar maker SSC (formerly Shelby SuperCars, no relation to Caroll Shelby), the Tuatara not only beat the next fastest supercar on the list but blew it out of the water (or salt flats, as it were.) We’ve been hearing about SSC’s Tuatara since at least 2011. All the cars you would expect are here, ranked from fastest to slowest (though calling any of these slow is blasphemy.) And to clarify, yes, all of these cars are street-legal. Here is a list of the 10 fastest production cars in the world ranked by top speed. It takes lots of engineering genius to move so quickly down a strip of pavement without falling apart. Zero to 60 is probably the most realistic, everyday performance benchmark, but there’s no better ultimate ranking factor than top speed – the most no holds barred, balls-to-the-wall stat a supercar can have.
