However, finding the fastest car is not an easy task as some of the cars have engines giving horsepower outputs corresponding to rockets. Of course, for this they are quite modified in terms of engine size, fuel and the number and type of superchargers. While some of the super fast cars are well known for acceleration, i.e. 0-60 mph.

Actually, the list has not much change in the past 2-3 years due to the economic slowdown in the market.
