9ff - the fastest car in the world
The McLaren F1 has stood unchallenged as the fastest road-legal car for nearly a decade, but now a tiny German tuning outfit is aiming to crack 250mph. Brett Fraser stands well back as 9ff's 830bhp Porsche 911 takes on Nardo and the F1...

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/?evo

I read that article in evo on that too. but what I want to know is, why the Koenigsegg which is faster than the F1 has never been proved to be faster... i dont understand that,
and welcome to SCF, Exige, ever been for a ride in one? quality car that ;)

I too herad that the koenigsegg was tested in mexico and it reached something like 252MPH, but i cant figure why it wasnt replaced with the Mclaren?
Also there a newish car called the chysler me four-twelve which is does 248mph, also faster than the F1.

ME Four Twelve was a concept, and has since been cancelled for production. The reason the F1 is still king is because the Koenigsegg hasn't yet been officially clocked at 240+...But, given time it will. And the 9ff is a tuner, aftermarket, and as such doesn't count. And besides, that honor still stands with us American's and our late eighties Sledgehammer Corvette, clocking it at 252 mph. :eek:

The 9ff did 388 km/h and the F1 did 391. I read the EVO article too, but I don't see how they beat the F1. :-k

We should put this all to rest. The fastest stock/not modified production car is the Bugatti 16/4 Veyron. Second is the Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo. Third is Koenigsegg. Facts are facts.

Facts are facts...And yours are 100% wrong...

1-The Bugatti has yet to be delivered to it's customers.
2-It has yet to be tested officially
3-It's ass overdue
4-It's aerodynamics suck, and not in the good, "Sucked to the road way"


The other cars there have yet to be officially tested...Deal with it. I'm starting to get tired of this constant "The modified Vette/Skyline/etc.. is faster.." Yes, they are, but they're not bone stock fast like the F1 from the factory. The Koenigsegg is, as is the Bugatti, but the Koenigsegg that has been built and delivered to a number of customers has yet to be officially topped out and verified.

GET USED TO IT
The McLaren F1 is STILL the FASTEST P-R-O-D-U-C-T-I-O-N car. :cool:

yeah i agree but C-U-R-R-E-N-T production car! It would be the Veyron. I've got some videos of them testing the Veyron. I wish they would just get it over with and do a top speed run with it!!! IAs much as i love the F1, It's time a German car company (like Bugatti) Kicks those brit's @$$! get used to it. McLaren Isn't the greatist car in the world! Allthough it may be the coolest.

Current production means they've got customers cars out already, and as such. That means the chronically late Bugatti doesn't count, which btw, has biiiiig aerodynamic problems, see that one that spun out at Laguna Seca?? Exactly, it was only goig 124mph, that's HALF the projected top speed.

And as for McLaren not being the best, I'm not saying they are the best, but the F1 still holds the title for fastest car on the road ever made from the factory.

Fastest car out right now?? And still in production?? That's the Koenigsegg CC8S, it's done 228 mph at Nardo in the RAIN, before it was called off because of some good reason.

The Bugatti is late, not a single car has been sent to the customer yet. Know why? They, VW, spent so much on the looks that they forgot a car that fast should be designed from aerodynamicists, not from stylists. Hence why it spun at Laguna Seca at 120+ mph. That's sad, and honestly, it weighs too much, the tires are too wide, the bulges up front will loosen the air stream on the rear of the car and thus, lose the rears traction.

I hope this car can make up for it's lateness, over pricedness, crappy looks, and generally waste of money on a car "ness", and prove me wrong. Because when it came out, I along with everyone else cried and drooled at the same time.

Current production means currently produced.

Ok, the Bugatti, point made...Still, it hasn't even broken 220, and the Koenigsegg has. End of story.

Anybody know of any sites with downloadable movies of the Laguna Seca testing?

Current Crop of Supercars:

Aston Martin Vanquish-S - 203mph
Lamborghini Murcielago - 205mph
Porsche Carrera GT - 205mph
Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren - 205mph
Ford GT - 212mph
Jaguar XJ220 - 214mph
Ferrari Enzo - 217mph
Pagani Zonda C12-S - 221mph
Mclaren F1 - 241mph

The Bugatti have lowered the top speed to 370 km/h (229.918 mph) because off huge aerodynamics problem and it is electronic stopped at 350km/h so the CC8S is faster..

Eat your words VW Group.... Ha Ha
Sorry, could'nt help it. Has a offical top speed test been done on the Koneggsegg?

It did last year at Nardo in the rain but the driver called it off at 228mph because of some oil problems or something...This summer though...Watch out, the CC8S isn't alone, they're bringing the manicly powerful 806bhp CCR. :D

Facts are facts, but people still cant admit that the F1 is still 'the worlds fastest car, at this moment in time, and i cant blame them, for the time the bugatti was releaced i didnt like it, so that leaves the koenigsegg, is extremely fast, beautiful, and almost practical, a supercars go, is this not the best we have seen yet.

I'd like to see what Pagani come up with later in the year, I've heard theres a new car in development using Mercedes V12 with over 900bhp.

Nice to see another F1 fan. :)

The Enzo is the fastest production car.

The Enzo is the fastest production car.
wtf? so the Koenigsegg is no production car then? oh wait, the Enzo is not made anymore... well, 1 is for the Tsunami, but i dont think that counts as production

You're right, I completely overlooked the Koenigsegg. The Enzo was the fastest car back in like '02, but I guess I'm behind.

Isn't the Veyron production? If so, that's faster than the Koenigsegg.

Read back a few pages in posts...

I already have and I'm telling you, the Veyron has a 252 mph maximum speed if you take off the speed restriction, while the Koenigsegg has a maximum of 242 mph.

But, I see you're talking about straight out of the factory.

It's got a theoretical top speed. In reality the Veyron hasn't broken 220.

Hello this is 2005 not 2002!!!!! :smt006
Bugatti have lowered the top speed 229.918 mph as i have said before. so forget Bugatti.
They are gone from the battle off the world fastest car :smt039

say me what's the fastest car if it's not the bugati!?

Koenigsegg CCR...Beat the F1 by a single MPH.

That was on continually curving track though, in a straight line it could beat it by more.

I refrained from ridiculing this inane thread for months. Now that a mod has recently replied to an old thread(where are you, Malin?) instead of chastising, I guess I can comment.

Certifiably, the fastest car in the world is the Thrust SSC at 766.6 mph over a measured mile.

Arguably, the Bud Rocket car reached mach 1 in 1979 at 739 mph based on Edwards AFB radar, photos of shockwave ahead of the front wheels, and the fact that alledged compressibility took the rear wheels off the ground for over 300 yards.

The fastest piston engine wheel driven car so far has gone 417.020 mph on the salt. A late MR-2 with a 5-valve 4AG-E (destroked to 1.5 L) mit turbo has gone 199 mph.

Top Fuel dragsters make 6000 hp for 5 seconds. 3-4 runs requires a $100K rebuild. Infinite boost = finite shorter life, just like drugs.

Production? Porsche showed chassis/parts/bodywork enough to convince FIA of 25 "production" 917's. Counting test and Can-Am cars, they probably did eventually build 25 cars. There is no way that Ferrari ever built 25 "production" 512's!

The Vector was introduced almost 25 years ago. With many different owners/powertrains, they built almost 25 cars. Was that a production car?

I thought the Bugatti EB112 4-turbo was a lot of big talk. They eventually built almost 125 of them. Was that a production car?

Did not McLaren build 100 +/- F1's? Was that a production car?

How many Enzos have been built so far?

All of you "koenigseggheads" need to get a grip on reality. Quoting the Guiness Book for "fastest production car" is moronic. How many cars have been built/sold???

Yeah, but ummm..The thrust isn't a production car...Nor is it powered by a combustion engine...well...jet engine's count to a degree.

White-Night
You're vehicule is the "world's fastest ground vehicule"

It is not a "CAR" like it is stated in the topic
It's a some sort of ground rocket, and it can only be driven in some desert in arizona I think, not in the streets. pg3

Actually you are wrong the Groundfighter is a street car that is fully street legal or at least was before it was "upgraded" The groundfighter is now about 2000-3000 hp on alcohol and 4000-5000 on nitro. All that needs done is it needs reverse lights and mufflers and its back on the streets. It very well could be the fastest street legal car in the country maybe world. If you have any questions email we are home of the All American Groundfighter.

Well there's alot of deffinitions of fastest. What is the fastest production car in the 1/4 mile?
Nismo Z tune(10.#)

Fastest production car from 0-100-0
Ultima GT-R(9.8)

Fastest top speed road car
Koenigsegg CCR (2##)

Fastest car around the nurburgring
Carrerra GT(7"##:##)

There's ALOT of fastests, and if you noticed on the list, there isn't a single repeat. Which pretty much means there is NO "FASTEST" car.

WOW.In that case what is the overall best car yet.

Fastest car around the nurburgring
Carrerra GT(7"##:##)

That would be the Donkervoort D8 270 RS. With 7 min 15. Production car record that is, because there are racecars which went faster.

Damn. PGR2 must be really off if Ghalos has raced his Enzo on the 'Ring in 6:40. Yeah, I know it's just a game, but am surprised.

In PGR2, does the Nordschleife have the bit on the new Nürburgring included? Maybe that could make the difference....

That would be the Donkervoort D8 270 RS. With 7 min 15. Production car record that is, because there are racecars which went faster.

I'm glad the Ultima GTR was invoked earlier 0-100-0 is a much more interesting performance indicator than who can shehorn the biggest engine into something with decent enough aerodynamics and then sell it to mugs. I like stuff that's built near where I was born too (the Noble is notable here).
I think a standard laptime is an even better benchmark. The Nurburgring official site don't list the production car record, so that is hard to verify, but every time I read about the Donkervoort, the commentators say it took the record off Porsche by 15 seconds, but didn't the Radical SR3 Turbo hold the record at 7:19, so how reliable is that? You could claim like, Top Gear, that the Radical isn't a real production/road car, but you can buy one and drive it on the road legally (in the UK at least ;) ) so whatever.

Oh I like this too, a mad car done the British way: http://www.zcars.org.uk/ultima/ultima-background.htm (Groundfighter pfft)

Well the Veyron is going to be limited in stock trim, which means it already will never hold the fastest (top speed) production car.

Well for 0-60 times refer to the post prior to yours, 0-100 times erm... anyone know? I presume a good 0-60 car might put in a good 0-100, I suppose it depends on how many times you need to change gear. :-k Look at good 0-100-0 cars too, though that's as much about braking and reactions as it is about pulling away.
I have no idea about 1/4 miles, anyone else?

Well..Considering the Nismo Z tune does a faster 1/4 time than the S7TT....which is hilarious.....Poor Saleen...

Second..the ultima GTR can put down faster 1/4 than that... It's just yet to be tested for it's 1/4 times... It's 0-100-0 is 9.8 seconds..
that's faster than the SLR Mclaren's 0-100 by .2 seconds..

The Ultima GTR did a 1/4 in it's 0-200 test and it in the 9's...But no one recorded it's 1/4 so it's not official...besides...1/4 is lame..No one cares...

the koenigsegg has never been put to its highest speeds frankly ud have to be insane to do those speeds which sum blive wud exceed 400 kmph

the bugatti veyron doesnt exists you idiots
try again...you idiot.

Funny, the one that spun at Laguna Seca in front of people seemed to have been real.

was that a production car or a specially made concept

The Bugatti is going to be a production car with the 252,3 mph. Even Michael Schumacher will get one. You can find this here:

http://www.bugattipage.com/2004news.htm

The thread said fastest car not fastest street legal car,I know of a gas blown Supra that does 305 mph......at salt lake speed trials.

The Blown Gas Altered Coupe Kugel e LeFevers Pontiac Firebird driven by Joe Kugel made 307,468 mph.
The Walley Larson LE1 Groundfighter 304,53 mph
The Blown Fuel Lindseys Leggitt (I don't remember the car) made 308,517 mph

308,517 mph?!?! That's almost 406 times the speed of sound! Pretty impressive considering the SR-71 Blackbird only managed to reach Mach 3.3. Is there a video you could link to, preferably in super slo-mo?

I believe he means 308.517 (In Europe, and other places, they often substitute ","' for a decimal point)

I'm just kidding.

I believe he means 308.517 (In Europe, and other places, they often substitute ","' for a decimal point)

Exactly! By the way I'm from Rio de Janeiro.

eeeeee carioca...
my family's from goiana. nice to see more brazilian car nuts.

The Koiensegg CCR, yeah its spelled wrong, but who cares, swedes can't spell anything right anyway!

And American people are too stupid too spel anything right...

That's tr00. Dumb American's, btw, I'm waiting for Edonis to challenge Koenigsegg's CCR, according to lots of stuff I've read in magazine's and press kits the Edonis is going for at least 225mph. And with it's body it'd be tough to not do it, it also is pushing the edge of hardcore sports car for me, i.e. it's an F40, on steroids. =)

i dont think edonis is gonna beat the CCR....the CCR is gonna take a while to be beaten

About the Bugatti Veyron, you can find here that they are finally ready to register this car as the fastest production car whit 248.5 mph.

Here:

And here:

Most were snatched up years early by shieks and they were on display near me, when they came out.

Above is a Vector Avtech Wx3.
The Vector Avtech Wx3 is the most
powerful out of the four production Vectors.
It has dual twin turbo engines with a total
horsepower of a breathtaking 1200 hp.
The top speed for the Vector Avtech Wx3 is
around 255 mph. This car is the fastest car on the
market. I think 1 million each?

well considering captain....None of those numbers are official....

and you're a dork.....

I say that's a big negatory

And American people are too stupid too spel anything right...stoopid? me not stoooopid... mammma sez ur stooopid

well considering captain....None of those numbers are official....

and you're a dork.....

I say that's a big negatory

No kidding, How many cars have claimed top speeds of 255miles an hour? Fastautos.net have stacks of concepts that all claim this speed.

if u all want to find the fastest car , or other things else fint it at , www.supercars.net

By 2006 , I mean now....the veyron will b the History....n the SSC Ultimate Aero...will take the lead , on top of the list....

They are both turds.

Even if the SSC Aero becomes the fastest it will be short lived.

LOL this is 2½ years old. It has just got revived each half year or something.

The fastest car in the world?
Nobody can answer that question, because the Pescarolos were faster than the R8. But the R8 has the world record on Le Mans. 3:33.483 done by Tom kristensen. - It's all who's behind the wheel.

Top speed doesn't matter. Nobody wanna drive 407 KM/h when the airintakes are closed for optimal aerodynamic, which will cause the engine can blow up every second. And it's using all the fuel in less than 70 km... - The Veyron.

Yeah I agree wit u........wasting fuel....those supercars are drinking ur Fuel like us drinking water....

Yeah. Let's go Diesel.:smt023
It smells so damn good, and the eath will ge hit by a big fat cloud in 2014, which either will cause an ice age or the end. - So we don't even have time to kill the earth with diesel pollution anyway:)
But the engine sound is unfortunately another story:( - Sounds like two skelettons fighting on a tin-roof, in a masive hail shower. "DAng - Dakkelakkedakkelakkedakkelakke"

fortunately 'the end' is never really the end after all.
Usually there are still subtitles and some bloopers after 'the end'.

Would be cool to end the world with subtitles though.

Not only super cars are thirsty cars.
An unmodded S13 with CA18DET engine can drink 20-25 liters on 100 km without problems.
All you have to do is rev it over 5500 rpm.

Ok, that'd still leave an action radius of a massive 200km or so on a full tank of fuel.

Some aftermarket mods make your car even faster if you tuned it up properly.

o god, not this thread again

Iknow the fastest car!!! This one!!! http://adweek.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/trabant_1.jpg

hmm from 0-100 km/h this are the 5 fasted cars on the world!

I swear 1.970 That's horrible fast!!

greetz : Danny!


Horribly fast, psh, top fuel is like .4 seconds on average, not even the record.
At the highest level drag racing is more like a giant sling shot, the engine is like the rubber band, the rev it up and then they drop the hammer and the tires dont even spin, they just squash and kinda throw it down the track.

But for a road car, 1.9 is pretty crazy.

Let this thread die. It will be turning 3 years before we we all admit that the Leghingergingerfighther Corvette is the fasest car.

The halltech corvette does 0-100km/h in 1.4 seconds:

http://www.z06-corvette.com/super/halltech.htm

Anyway, top fuelers are obviously the fastest.

none of these are even production are they, there either souped up yankeecars or nascars or one off speicals

That is the first time I'm impressed by a corvette engine bay!

Anyways, 1.4 seconds is still too dependant on road surface and a ton of other variables. I'll have to see it to believe it.

I've been impressed by vette engines since Le Mans 2004. 2005 made me even more impressed... - That such a sweet little engine can make a car as hot as a sauna... Thats impressive. Oliver Gavin and Oliver Beratta got sick, so Magnusees had to drive extra stints.

These are the fastest cars based on acceleration (in seconds) from 0 to 60 MPH.

HAHA i cant believe that F1 Renault Espcae is so fast, the idea of an Espace even doing 60mph let alone accelerating there from 0 in less than 3 secs is pretty funny IMO

Well its not so hard to believe once you get hold of its specs:

Engine: 40 valve V-10
Displacement: 3500cc
ventilated carbon discs brakes
Top speed of 194 mph
800bhp at an unspecified RPM
520 ft lb of torque also unspecified

Not a bad little car. But the thing looks like the freakin ugliest cars you have ever seen.

^ Holy sh*t...

It looks like the biggest ricemobile ever, but those are some impressive specs

bugatti fastest was in top gear few weeks ago

MC12 is fastest aroud the Top gear track:)

0- 340 in 4.5 seconds... thats quick! lol. Who cares which one's the quickest 0-60. One day the driver of that 962 might slip his cluth wrong and the Ford Pinto next to him's gonna smoke his ass! God damn this is a useless argument that will never end...

0- 340 in 4.5 seconds... thats quick
What are you talking about?

Top Fuel rails

the 2006 veyron 16.4 has tested to 253 mph... stock and untuned... it also surpasses the enzo and carrera gt in top speed, acceleration and braking... 250 mph to stopped in less than ten seconds with no hands on the steering wheel... it does lose to the o5 hennessey srt-10 viper venom 1000 coupe... but it does beat the mac 1 ... mclaren used to be my dream car... till bugatti came out with this bad boy... w16... that's 2 v8's right next to eacother... how the hell do they do that?! when braking from over 100 mph the spoiler hits 70 degrees for an air broake... and when accelerating over 110 the car drops from 4.9 inches to 2.6 inches... and all with the luxury of a maybach... who cares if a mclaren even does beat it... or anything else for that matter... this car is the ****...

screw the veyron i want that renualt epsace f1 ....ultimate raping mobile for the street...who will ever see that thing coming.

It has a V8 between the seats or what the hell is it. MEH!

v10 man, was made to celebrate the 10 years(i think) of the espace wagon and the renault formula 1 team, so it has the formula 1 engine in the back, which is probably not very reliable for too much driving and i cnat even imagine the heat you will feel in the sitting inside, but o my its sexy.

Damn, imagine to be passenger with a V10 next to your seat :confused:

Me confused too :confused: let's get back to the topic.....the world fastest car is the SSC Ultimate / Aero.....I have alredy mention this....

400 posts.........................Yahoo , one more hundred to go...

^LOL. Give me your password, and it would be done within two days:p

lingenfelter vette is still the fastest with out friggin jet engines.
