Barabus TKR

Few people know this, but this is now the fastest car ever made, having dethroned the Bugatti beast. The name is not to be confused with the German tuner Brabus, as she's built by the British company Barabus Sportscars Ltd and will be produced in Italy. She has 1005 horsepower, it can do 0 to 60 mph (0-100 km/h) in...unbelievably...1.67 seconds (manufacturer's results). And, surprisingly, this power doesn't come from a huge engine, but rather from a "small" 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers.This declared speed is impressive and some people think that such a figure is not even possible: 270 mph (435km/h), nearly 20 more than the Veyron.

2006 Mosler

The emission test regulations have kept the wild Mosler MT900s supercar away from North America until now. The Corvette engined MT900s will go on sale in Anaheim, California starting in late fall 2006.
Althogh the Mosler only weighs 2,200 pounds, it packs a beefy 435 horsepower, 5.7 liter Corvette LS6 V8 engine. Once you light the fuse, the Mosler will speed from 0 to 60 miles/hour in 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 miles per hour. The body is made of carbon-aluminum honeycomb just like aircraft bulkheads and you can purchase one for $189,000.
