10 Fastest Cars On Earth

Among the parts of every car enthusiast’s fantasy are Supercars and high speed. These cars seem to be endangered species that are rare enough to keep attracting our attention over and over again and never let us get bored with them. But, there are always the fastest ones. The top speed is one of the constant measurements in classifying the performances of the supercars; however, many companies fail to provide such data with absolute certainty because it is hard to reach conditions for the maximum speed of the car to be measured. Acceleration of up to 100 or 200 km/h, time needed for one kilometer or a quarter of a mile drive, and the rest of driving methods are other important elements. The time needed for a car to accelerate from the standing start to 100 miles per hour (160km/h), and then to stop immediately is still the best speed test ever proven. This measurement enables an ideal ratio of necessary performance that characterizes a car as the fastest one. In connection with this, here are the ten fastest cars ever made:
