The fastest cars ever built

Verified top-speed figures for production supercars and hypercars. Where a car has both a governed limit and an unlocked maximum we list both, because the headline number is rarely the one you can actually reach. Where a number is only a manufacturer claim, we say so instead of printing it as a result.

Fastest in the database

Ranked on measured runs and manufacturer maximums, not on claims.

Koenigsegg says the Jesko Absolut will do 500 km/h, which would top this list, but that figure comes from simulation and the car has never made a top-speed run. It is listed on its own page with the distinction spelled out.
