The World's Ten Fastest Cars


The world where auto enthusiasts thrive is filled with variables that to outsiders would mean nothing at all. Terms like rpm, 0-60, 0-100, 100-0, horsepower, torque, and the likes may seem unfathomable for those who live outside this realm. But what everyone knows about is speed. When it comes to cars, the faster your car, the better it is. While manufacturers tagged their vehicles with top speeds of so and so, it is really hard to find the fastest cars just by looking at the numbers supplied by their makers. That is where the acceleration from a standstill to 60 miles per hour or 100 kilometers per hour is checked. By testing different cars for their acceleration, it is possible to rank the fastest cars in the world today.

The World's Ten Fastest CarsThe World's Ten Fastest Cars

That is what automotoportal.com has done to come up with the list of the ten fastest cars in the world. The cars considered for the test, of course, excludes the concept on one-off cars due to their unfair advantage. Coming in at the tenth place is the Lamborghini Gallardo. The Gallardo is Lamborghini's "entry-level" car, if you can consider a pricey car such as this to be an entry-level car. The Gallardo is the first car to be equipped with the massive Lamborghini V10 engine which produces as much as 520 horsepower. The engine gives the Gallardo a time of 13.65 seconds going from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. Translated to 0-60 mph, the Gallardo's time is 4 seconds. This makes the Gallardo even faster than the Murcielago. Taking the ninth spot is the Porsche 911 Turbo. The 911 has been making waves in the supercar arena since its introduction in 1964. For its length of tenure as a mass produced car, the 911 has undergone a lot of changes which have made it faster and faster year after year.

While the Porsche 911 produces only 480 horsepower, it uses its integral drive system which reduces wheel slipping which means that limited power is wasted. The 911 achieved a time of 12.5 seconds in the 0-100-0 test. The Caterham CSR260 sits at the eighth position. The CSR is the latest installment from supercar manufacturer Caterham Cars and it is the most modified vehicle from the sports car manufacturer. While its 2.3-liter engine produces only 250 horsepower, it has a relatively low weight which gives the CSR a time of 11.95 seconds to speed to a hundred kilometers per hour from a standstill.

The CSR's weight is only 555 kilograms which gives the car an astonishing mass to power ratio of 0.5 horsepower per kilogram. The seventh fastest car in the world is the Pagani Zonda. This mid-engine sports car is made by the Argentinean car manufacturer Pagani which is currently based in Italy. The company produces about 25 Zondas every year. Its powerplant is of German origin which makes the Zonda truly an international car. The Mercedes AMG 7.3-liter V12 engine that it carries provides horsepower that is equal to the weight of the CSR in kilograms. With 555 hp, the Zonda can cruise to 100 kilometers per hour from a stationary position in just 11.8 seconds.

Pagani Zonda Tuning: ¡Nuevo y unico modelo!

Hola Tuners! Hoy les traigo una escuderia europea: Pagani Zonda C9 es el nuevo modelo que al parecer está desarrollando la firma italiana Pagani, una exclusiva firma con sólo un modelo en su haber, el Pagani Zonda. Claro que este modelo se ofrece en distintas versiones con pequeñas variaciones, el Zonda Roadster, el Zonda F Clubsport, el Zonda R, etc.
La producción del Zonda es muy limitada, tan sólo 16 unidades anuales, hecho que provoca que sea uno de los super deportivos más codiciados.
Del Pagani Zonda C9 poco se sabe, existen cuatro prototipos y como siempre, nos tenemos que dejar guiar por los rumores que indican que el aspecto del nuevo deportivo será muy similar al Pagani Zonda.
Parece ser que una de las diferencias más significativas será el tamaño y la producción, aunque esta se mantendrá como es habitual de forma artesanal. El nuevo Pagani Zonda C9 será más pequeño y su producción alcanzará las 60 unidades, aunque no en las actuales instalaciones de Pagani, sino en una nueva fábrica.
Motor Aurhority nos indica que el modelo Zonda dejará de producirse durante un año y no es por la producción del nuevo modelo, sino porque Mercedes no montará de momento el motor 7.3 V12 AMG que incorpora el modelo Zonda. En lugar de ello, Mercedes proveerá a Pagani del nuevo motor para su modelo Pagani Zonda C9, un V8. Muy buena idea! Quiero verlo por las calles... Saludos Tuners!
