In this post you will find top 10 fastest luxury supercars in the world 2016. When it comes to cars and their performance in general, there is nothing quite enthralling and electrifying than speed. These four-wheeled tech beasts are the finest representations of human engineering and show the real fun of adrenaline pumping through your veins. So let’s talk about these fast cars and what makes them so great.
The problem with finding the world’s fastest production car is the fact that it is a “production car” because there’s a very thin line from in-line car to super-race-car.
“Racing, competing, it’s in my blood. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life.” – Ayrton Senna
“If one day speed kills me, don’t cry, because I was smiling” – Paul Walker
There are also some cars on the horizon that appear ready to knock some names off this list. SSC still hopes to reclaim the title of world’s fastest car with its 1,350-horsepower Tuatara, and Koenigsegg claims a top speed of more than 273 miles per hour for its One:1. For now, though, these are the fastest cars that can legally sport a license plate.
