Join us as we depart a world of second hand Renault Scenics and countdown of the 5 fastest street legal cars in the world, ordered on top speed.

5. Koenigsegg CXX – Top Speed 245mph

4. Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo – Top Speed 248mph

The Twin-Turbo was the successor to the orginal S7 and production lasted from 2005 t0 2009. It can accelerate to 60mph from a standstill in just 2.8 seconds.

3. SSC Ultimate Aero – Top Speed 257mph

2. Hennessey Venom GT – Top Speed 260mph

It is not difficult to understand why this immense supercar is so quick – the model is equipped with a monstrous 6.2-litre LS9 Turbocharged Twin Turbo V8 Engine producing 1200 bhp. It reaches 60mph from a standstill in a devestating 2.5 seconds. True Venom.

1. Bugatti Veyron – Top Speed 267mph

If you a thing or two about automobiles then there’s no prizes for guessing which speedster comes out on top. The Bugatti Veyron is simply a breath-taking piece of German engineering, one which can reach 60mph from a standstill in 2.4 seconds. It looks superb and costs well in excess of £1 millon. At top speed its tyres only last for 38 miles – which would actually be less than 9 minutes – and they cost around £23,000 to replace!
