The Bugatti Veyron SuperSport is among the worlds finest
hypercars, claiming more than the title of the worlds fastest car.
Since 2010 other supercar manufactures have been trying to take
away the title from Bugatti’s Flagship model but, none
has officially done so.
After failing to claim the top
spot for the worlds fastest car
back in 2007 against the SSC
Ultimate Aero, Bugatti
got their engineers together
and produced the Veyron SS
which broke the record in
Germany in July 10, 2010.
Ever since the Bugatti has
been a staple in
the industry as one of the
fastest, but most expensive
cars the world has ever seen.
Who will challenge and take
away the record from
Bugatti?Only time will tell.

Looks like a Lotus but performs like no other car. The highly
modified Lotus Exige chassis, aka the Venom GT not only claims
the 2nd place in this top ten list
But recently has set a new
Guinness World Record for
an average 0-186 mph (0-300
km/h) acceleration time of
13.63 seconds, making it the
quickest production car in the
world. Not the fastest but the
quickest.
However after a week of
investigations by Guinness
World Record, they have
returned the title back to the
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Since customers can have Bugatti turn off of the speed limiter,
enabling the Super Sport to reach the top speed. Manufactured in
a plant in Sealy Texas, the Venom GT production is limited to just
10 vehicles per year.
