These are the fastest road-legal cars in the world today, so buckle up for some mindblowing top speeds.
Vehicles continue to get quicker. The initial motorised carriage, named the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, arrived in 1885 with a top speed of 10mph. Nowadays, there are vehicles that can accelerate more than 30 times that speed.
There are dragsters powered by jet engines that can reach speeds over 700mph, but they’re not even close to road legal, and you can’t exactly go out and purchase one. If you wish to be as fast as possible down a runway, then cruise home in the same vehicle, these are the 10 fastest production vehicles on the planet today.
