Car Rides: December 2009

Faced with the recent pub quiz question ' what is the top speed of the world ' s fastest production car? ' the Sky Motoring quiz crew were quite appalled when (a) they had to ponder the question for a good three minutes and (b) couldn ' t rank the other fastest cars in an appropriate order.

So taking this simple premise, we ' ve decided to geek up and show you (in order) the world ' s fastest production cars so that (a) should this quiz question ever arise again, you are in no doubt as to the answer and (b) should you have Ronaldo ' s level of wedge in your pocket and fancy going 200+mph, you know exactly what to buy. Enjoy!

Top 20 Fastest cars in the World 2009@auto world show

The 204mph, 621bhp Bentley Continental Supersport is the fastest production Bentley ever. (328 Km/hr)

The 205mph Porsche Carrera GT is Stuttgart engineering at its best. (329 Km/hr)

The Mercedes McLaren SLR can hit 207mph. And it ' s an automatic. (333 Km/hr)

One Dodge Viper V10 + an eccentric British coach builder = the 525bhp, 210mph Bristol Fighter. (337 Km/hr)

The first Italian supercar in our list is the 211mph Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. (339 Km/hr)

The retro-shaped Ford GT uses a thoroughly modern supercharged 5.4-litre V8 to hit 212mph. (341 Km/hr)

The new Lamborghini Murcielago SV is lighter, harder and at 213mph, faster than the standard Murci. (342 Km/hr)

Lamborghini ' s Italian neighbour Pagani has developed the stunning 215mph Zonda F. (346 Km/hr)

It may not quite have been the car we were hoping for, but the Jaguar XJ220 could still hit 217mph. (349 Km/hr)

That ' s the same top-speed as the much more recent Ferrari Enzo, named after Ferrari ' s founder.

The British-built Ascari A10 uses a tuned BMW V10 to hit 220mph. (354 Km/hr)

The Gumpert Apollo may be a bit of an ugger and have a stupid name, but how many cars can go 224mph? ... (360 Km/hr)

The B-engineering Edonis develops 680bhp from its quad turbo 3.7litre V6 to hit 227mph. Gulp. (365 Km/hr)

Obviously the standard Apollo wasn't fast (or ugly) enough, hence the 230mph Gumpert Apollo Speed. (370Km/hr)

The McLaren F1 was doing 240mph 17-years ago! Just shows how much of an engineering marvel it was. (386 Km/hr)

You can tell the Koenigsegg CCX has a blistering top speed of 245mph just by looking at it. Scary. (394Km/hr)

The American-built Saleen S7 can hit 248mph. OK, this is getting ridiculous now... (399Km/hr)

The Porsche 9ff GT9 is one of three cars able to break the 250mph barrier. (402 Km/hr)

And you thought the 253mph Bugatti Veyron would be top of the list. Not any more. (403Km/hr)

The top spot now goes to Shelby Supercars and the 257mph SSC Ultimate Aero. (413.60Km/hr)
