Top 5 fastest cars... in the world

While most of us can only dream of owning the fastest car in the world, some will do whatever it takes to possess one.

Here are 5 of the fastest cars.

1.Hennessey Venom GT :mph (435 km/h), 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, has a 7.0 liter LS7 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8 Engine producing 1244 hp, with a price tag of $1,000,000 and up. The Venom GT is the fastest car in the world when tested again on February 14th, 2014 at NASA runway in Florida. The track was only 3.22 miles long, thus limiting it top speed to 270 mph.

2.Bugatti Vevron Super Sport: 268 mph (431 km/h), 0-60 in 2.4 secs. Aluminum, Narrow Angle 8 Liter W16 Engine with 1200 hp, base price is $2,400,000. After being the fastest car in the world for over 3 years from July 10, 2010, it is now in 2nd place as of February 14, 2014. In the past, the Bugatti Veyron lost the title to SSC Ultimate Aero on March 2007. However, Bugatti challenged the record in Germany on July 10, 2010 with the new Super Sport and reclaimed the title of the fastest car in the world at 268 mph. The original Bugatti Vevron had a top speed of 253 mph, priced at $1,700,000 with 1001 hp.

If you're into snow sports, the Agera R can be fitted with a Ski Box as well as winter tires. While the Agera R has a massive theoretical top speed, the current tested top speed is 260 mph. Expect this snow car to be the Bugatti's arch enemy for the next 5 years.

The 2015 Aston Martin Lagonda Super Sedan

Aston Martin has revealed the first official imagesof the production version of its new Lagonda ultra-luxury sedan, or “super saloon” as the British automaker calls it.

Though this particular model will be sold in extremely limited numbers by invitation only to clients in the Middle East, reviving the legendary Lagonda nameplate is the start of a larger initiative by Aston Martin. Design director Marek Reichman said at a press event in Scotland this summer that the company aims to grow its portfolio with other vehicles wearing the Lagonda name.

This is the first new Lagonda sedan in 25 years. It was inspired by one of the same name that debuted in 1976 and was made through 1990. Fewer than 650 were produced.

The wedge-shaped design on the original Lagonda was radical in its day. It also was reportedly the first car in the world to use computerized engine management and a digital instrument panel. But the car was plagued with problems, particularly as related to the newfangled digital technology.
Aston Martin has released very few details about the new Lagonda, except to say that it will be built using the same lightweight aluminum architecture as seen on the Vanquish and other current models. The company’s 6.0-liter V12 is a likely choice for the engine, given that Riechman said the sedan will offer exceedingly high levels of performance.

The company has not said when the first deliveries will be made, nor how much the super sedan will cost. But given how pricey the previous Lagonda was, some speculate the new version will run at least $500,000.
