13. Zenvo ST1 (233 Mph)
15. Gumpert Apollo (225 Mph)
16. Lamborghini Veneno (221 Mph)
The next fastest cars in the world is Zenvo ST1. The ST1 is capable of reaching 233 mph given enough road, but it’s important to note its top speed is electronically limited.
Without the digital nannies on board, we suspect the ST1 would be even faster in the top end, which is a scary thought indeed. No one has been brave enough to try.
14. Noble M600 (225 Mph)
Noble rolled onto the scene in 1999, and has since carved out a small slice of automotive history by releasing several low-volume supercars.
The most notable of the lot is the M600, which seemingly came out of nowhere in 2009 when it smashed the Bugatti Veyron’s time around the Top Gear test track.
The car proved incredibly difficult to drive, as it had very few electronic driver aids onboard, but its performance spoke for itself 650 hp, 0 to 60 in 3.0 seconds, and a top speed of 225 mph.
The Noble may not have the bedroom poster looks of a Lamborghini, but clearly, the burly Brit has it where it counts. The brand has since launched a beautiful CarbonSport version with an exposed carbon fiber body, as well as a convertible Speedster model.
15. Gumpert Apollo (225 Mph)
The Gumpert Apollo remains one of the ugliest cars ever inflicted on the world, but what it lacked in looks, it made up for in speed. With a claimed top speed of 225 mph, it embarrassed many better-known supercars when it first appeared in the early 2000s.
The Apollo was the brainchild of Roland Gumpert, the engineer who led development of Audi’s first Quattro all-wheel drive system. Fittingly, it used a twin-turbocharged 4.2-liter Audi V8, which made 789 horsepower in top-spec trim. The car sold for north of $300,000 when new.
Perhaps because people wanted a car that was both good-looking and fast, Gumpert declared bankruptcy in 2012. It was subsequently reincarnated as Apollo Automobil. The company is currently in the process of launching two new supercars, the Intensa Emozione and Arrow.
16. Lamborghini Veneno (221 Mph)
Sometimes you get what you pay for in life, and the Lamborghini Veneno proves it by appearing on our Most Expensive Cars in the World list as well as this one. That’s right, this $4.5-million supercar is actually quite the bargain if you manage to get your hands on one.
With a 6.5-liter V12 producing 750 screaming Italian ponies, this venomous Lambo approaches superbike levels of performance with a 0 to 60 time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 221 mph.
The car also features an array of racing-inspired gadgetry, such as a quick-shifting ISR semi-auto transmission with five different modes, pushrod suspension, and horizontal damper units. There’s also the comic book/stealth fighter styling, which is worth the price of admission for some.
If you thought $4.5 million was a lot, you’ll love this, in 2014, a Veneno sold in Germany for a whopping $6.5 million.
