    If you are talking about fastest speed anyone has gone in it it's the Mclaren F1 because one person went 241mph in it. If you are talking about fastest estimated top speed then it's the Buggati 16-4 Veyron because it's estimated top speed is 252mph. Be more specific!

    It must be the Mercedes-Benz W125 Record, 268.7 mph.

    It's amazing how a car built in the 1930s can go faster than any other car today.

    Yeah Dydzi is right, the Mclaren was never the fastest car. The Dauer was released before it and hit that speed before the Mclaren

    Just look on Auto Union Type C and NSU cars (They are both subsidiary companies of Audi-Auto union)

    NSU set up eleven world speed records in 1950.
    The Auto Union racing cars were high-tech products in their time. They stood for supreme achievements in motor-vehicle construction that concentrated above all on high-performance engines, aerodynamic design and the systematic use of lightweight construction. The Auto Union car with streamlined fairing and an output of 545 horsepower was the first to exceed a speed of 400 km/h on a normal road.
    This is AUDI power my men. Racing since 1915...

    When Mercedes was trying to catch auto union the company was paying Ferinard porsche to make engine for these MONSTERS
