If you have an unquenchable need for speed then don’t stop reading! For your rev head pleasure we’ve put together an electrifying countdown of the fastest cars on the planet.
1. Hennessey Venom GT – 270 mph
This ultra-fast supercar can hit 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, a feat which stripped the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport of its world’s fastest car status earlier this year. You can thank the 7.0 litre LS7 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8 Engine!

2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – 268 mph
While it may have been stripped of its world record title the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport still clocks in an impressive 0-60 miles in 2.4 seconds. A Narrow Angle 8 Litre W16 Engine makes it eye wateringly fast yet it also comes with a sky-high price tag of US$2,400,000.

Sleek, streamlined and oh so sexy, this model is definitely not one for the feint hearted. But it doesn’t come cheap and you’ll need to be willing to fork out US$555,000 for the custom built Twin Turbo Aluminium V8 Engine.

While these cars leave the showroom in tip top condition it’s important to keep up a regular servicing schedule once they hit the road. If you’re lucky enough to run a motor trade business that services vehicles that come close to this sort of luxury it’s essential to cover your back with a customised motor trade insurance policy that won’t leave you out of pocket should anything go awry.
