Driven: the world's fastest front-wheel-drive car - and it's a Golf. You donât really hear of Q-cars any more. Thirty years ago the phrase was commonplace, but has fallen into effective disuse today. A Q-car was a high performance machine designed to look like it couldnât pull the skin off a cup of cold cocoa.
World's Fastest Cars: 1. Hennessey Venom GT: 270 mph (435 km/h), 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, has a 7.0 liter LS7 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8 Engine producing 1244 hp, with a price tag of $1,000,000 and up. The Venom GT is the fastest car in the world when tested again on February 14th, 2014 at NASA runway in Florida. The track was only 3.22 miles long, thus limiting it top speed to 270 mph. Congratulations! 2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: 268 mph (431 km/h), 0-60 in 2.4 secs. Aluminum, Narrow Angle 8 Liter W16 Engine with 1200 hp, base price is $2,400,000.
