Top 20 Fastest Cars In The World (Part 5)

17. Aston Martin One-77 (220 Mph)

The One-77 is the most extreme road going Aston ever and the fastest. It may share a front engined layout with “regular” Astons, but the One-77 is a completely different animal.

Only 77 examples were made, and each sports a 7.30-liter V12 producing 750 hp. Like the chassis, it’s based on an engine used in lesser Aston production models, but it’s both lighter and more ferocious.

Aside from its performance and jaw-dropping good looks, the most remarkable thing about the One-77 may be that Aston was able to create a hypercar without making many compromises.

While it matches race inspired mid engined designs for performance, the One-77 still has the look and feel of something much more luxurious and well rounded. It is, after all, the only front engined car on this list.

The One-77 proves that incredibly fast cars don’t have to focus solely on performance. Its character is almost as special as its 220 mph top speed and limited production run.

18. Jaguar XJ220 (217 Mph)

The XJ220 lost six cylinders and two drive wheels on the way to production, but it still managed to claim the title of fastest production car in 1992.

The original concept version featured a V12 engine and all-wheel drive, but the production model had to make due with a twin-turbocharged V6 and rear-wheel drive. Still, that was enough to get the XJ220 to 217 mph at Nardo once engineers removed the rev limiter.

However, it wasn’t enough to solidify in the car’s place in history. Buyers weren’t as impressed by the production version as they were with the concept, and a weak early ‘90s economy tanked sales. Sometimes being the fastest just isn’t enough.

19. Mclaren P1 (217 Mph)

McLaren’s successor to the F1 isn’t as fast, but it’s much more high-tech. Its 903-hp hybrid powertrain seamlessly blends electric and turbocharged V8 power, making the P1 one of the most capable performance cars ever made.

During the car’s press junket, McLaren said it emphasized the driving experience over outright top speed. Maybe the company didn’t think it could compete with Bugatti, or maybe it just thought organ-shredding lateral grip was a better way to torture customers than stratospheric speeds.

With a claimed lap time of around six minutes, the P1 also excels at a performance metric that’s almost become more important than top speed: the Nürburgring.

20. Ferrari Laferrari (217 Mph)

Along with the P1 and the Porsche 918 Spyder, the Ferrari LaFerrari is part of a trio of hybrid supercars that showed the world that performance cars don’t have to be (too) inefficient.

The Ferrari matches the McLaren for top speed and cleverness. Its 6.3-liter V12 is joined to a hybrid system modeled on the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) used in Ferrari’s Formula One cars.

Not only does the LaFerrari give its driver 950 hp to play with, it also provides the instantaneous response of electric motors to get thin. So Ferrari car is indeed worth entering into the fastest cars in the world.
