When it comes to fast cars, some cars are fast, like a Corvette, and then some cars go really fast, like a Bugatti. Of course, determining which are the fastest cars you can buy today can be challenging. Perhaps more important is that you have to be very wealthy to afford many of the names on this list, but you also have to find a location to put the pedal to the medal.
What’s most important is how you decide which cars are the fastest. For many people, 0-60 miles per hour is the end-all, be-all of how the fastest cars you can buy today should be determined. For others, and in our case today, we’ll look at the top speed of these vehicles, which is generally only uncovered on a test track, to determine the fastest.
