Is it the Ferrari Enzo?

Top speed for a stock vehicle-Buggati Veyron 254 mph, but salt flat cars are faster.

I think one of the Mercedes uses a supercharger in there, but I forgot which model. It's fast and I don't think it's one of the AMG series either. I think it's like a Mclaren or something....or are they even the same cars?

Here's your answer.

At least it's so according to the author.

The McLaren F1 was dethroned by the Koenigsegg... which was later dethroned by the Bugatti Veyron... and later dethroned by the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. The SSC hold the "OFFICIAL" World record with a top speed of 256 mph.

Haha, oh man. I didn't realize the fastest car was produced here in america, lol. The only cars that came to my mind was the Enzo and the McLaren. But I have never heard of the SSC Ultimate Aero TT before. Are they their own company and not affiliated with GM or anyone like that? It must be super rare because I have never seen one before, let alone on TV.

Oh, so the McLaren is a BMW breed. I had no idea......I wonder how I got the idea it was a Mercedes design.

I don't get how some of the more faster cars are V8s when you have the V12 Enzos sitting below them in the ranks. It must boil down to efficiency and design.

well mercedes does have the SLR Mclaren...maybe u were thinkin of that one

America is once again the king of building fast cars. You can also throw in the pure domestic Saleen S7 Twin Turbo in the mix and have a McLaren and Enzo beater right there.

Ironically, despite being the fastest, the SSC is not the quickest production car from 0-60mph.

Because the McLaren Formula One racing team uses Mercedes engines.

The McLaren F1 for a street car uses a BMW engine.

You're probably referring to the Zonda (if not the SLR).

For the usual applications (other than F-1 racing), McLaren is heavily affiliated with BMW, not Mercedes.

Now the million dollar question:


Does anyone, ANYONE on here actually own one of these super cars?

Baby ///M3

Sure.

I own all of them. Plus a couple of other exotic models that didn't quite make the top 10 list.




But they are all in the form of 1:18 die cast models.

If only Jay Leno was on this Lexus forum, he would say a big YES!

there are many of cars that can push upwards of 240 mph nowadays ...SSC Ultimate Aero is the current fastest... they test it by averaging the top speed going one way then then the top speed going back... It isn't difficult anymore to make a car go to those figures...
