This is the latest overview of fastest street-legal production cars in the world.
Rules to measure the top speed in a fair way
- When it comes to top speed measurements, various candidates were quite creative to achieve a new world record. As a consequence in 1990 some general rules have been established, to enable a fair competition. The measurements can be done on an independant road test with a two-way run. The mean value of the top speed of both runs is used in the list of the fastest cars.
- Also the definition of a production car has been refined, to avoid irregulations of dubious claims. As a consquence, a production car needs at least to have 25 or more builts and it has to be street-legal in the intended market. Any official passing test could be aplied to demonstrate that it is street-legal
