Driven: the world's fastest front-wheel-drive car - and it's a Golf. You donât really hear of Q-cars any more. Thirty years ago the phrase was commonplace, but has fallen into effective disuse today. A Q-car was a high performance machine designed to look like it couldnât pull the skin off a cup of cold cocoa.
The Hennessey Venom GT is first in our list, with a verified speed of 270.49mph. The cars comes with a 1,244-hp 7.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine giving it enough power to go at such high speeds. However, when it comes to Guinness World records Venom GT is still not considered as the fastest car in the world. The Guinness World record for the fastest car is held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (second car in our list) at 269.86mph. The Venom GT reached the speed of 270.49mph at the Kennedy Space Center in a one-way run (NASA didnât allow running in the opposite direction).
