So what are the fastest production cars in the world? Here are the top 5 of them.
5. Bugatti Chiron: 261 MPH / 420 KM/H
While a lot of supercars have to give up some luxury for better performance but not this car. Easily one of the most luxurious and fastest cars in the world. It does 261 MPH in total comfort and luxury. Launched in 2016 only 500 have been made. It's 8,0 liter 16 cylinder W16 engine with 4 turbochargers produces 1479hp to all four wheels with 1,180 lb·ft of torque @ 2,000 – 6,000 rpm making it go 0-60 in a blistering 2.5 seconds.

3. Hennessey Venom GT: 270MPH / 434 KM/H
Hennessey achieved a 270mph run in 2014 at the Kennedy Space Center but in order for the speed to be considered legitimate, the test runs must be completed in both directions which Hennessey didn't do. The Venom GT achieves its speed from a very good power to weight ratio. Under its hood is a 7,0 liter twin-turbo V8 producing 1244 bhp to the rear wheels while it only weighs 2743 lb / 1244 Kg. That makes 1 bhp per 1 kg. With 1,155 lb⋅ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm it accelerates from 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds.
2. Koenigsegg Agera RS: 279 mph / 447 KM/H

It has been called the ultimate track tool because of its lightweight and track optimized performance. It is powered by a 5,0 liter V8 producing 1160hp on regular pump gas. An optional 1-megawatt package increases the engine power to 1341bhp. All that power while weighing only 3,075 lbs / 1,395 kg. That makes 2.62 lb / 1.19 kg per horsepower.
