When you spend fat wads of money on cars, the least you expect is good performance from the cars. Almost all the cars listed here are fast enough for most human beings. While there is never a right order when comparing these vehicles, we have done our best to rank these vehicles in the right order.
No one should question the integrity of the Bugatti Veyron as the ultimate supercar. It is not only the fastest car in the world, but it is also as luxurious as it gets. At prices starting from Rs 16 crore (ex showroom), there is nothing else that can even dare to stand next to it.
The Pagani Zonda F has always been known for being a crazy looking machine, but it did not get its supercar iconic status based on the looks alone. The fit and finish is more than stunning, as is the Mercedes engine. The Zonda is awfully quick and very useable around corners. Prices start at $741,000.
The Ferrari 599 GTO is the fastest road car from Ferrari, as simple as that. The speed is mind-numbing and the performance is Ferrari brilliant. The styling of the car has been done keeping in the performance, and the interior is more like a cockpit than a car cabin. It is one of the best driver's car available in the market. Prices start from $383,500.
Now, even though the ultimate Aston Martin has not been launched, we have included it in our list because of the fun performance it promises. The new car is at par with the stunning design heritage of Aston Martin. The One-77 features a full carbon fiber monocoque chassis, a handcrafted aluminum body, and a 7.3 liter V12 engine with over 700 bhp. Prices start at $1.7 million, so only a very few of the rich kids can buy it, which would only add to the car's enigma.
In March 2009, Forbes listed the Koenigsegg CCXR as one of the 10 most beautiful cars in history. The car can hit speeds of 250 miles per hour. This car can also boast of being eco-friendly as it can run on E85. But the price of this car shoots through the roof. Yes, shelling out $1.2 million for a new car can be painful for the rich too.
The SuperVeloce's V12 churns out a cool 661 bhp at 8000 and it can zoom from 0-100 kmph in just 3.2 seconds. The car can display a stunning top speed of 342 kmph with the small spoiler or 337 kmph with the optional big wing. More than anything else, it is a Lamborghini that we are talking about. Lamborghinis are famous for being loud, brash, and very vulgar. The Murcielago LP670-4 SV is available in India with a super cool price tag of Rs 3.6 Crore, ex-showroom.
Ferrari took its classic mid-mounted, high-winding V8 sports car formula to a whole new height with the 458 Italia. The Ferrari 458 Italia is a driver's car; it is light, powerful and superbly balanced. The looks are the best from Ferrari, and the interiors are eye catchy too. Ferrari 458 Italia makes it very clear that beauty and performance can co-exist in harmony and peace. Prices are more than reasonable at $225,000. The car is not yet available in the Indian market, but once Ferrari makes a debut here, the Italia will come along too.
The interiors of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG are well designed, and the trunk is also very large. Although the nose is a bit like longer, but once you get used to it, you won't notice it a lot. The Mercedes SLS is one of the best track-oriented super cars, which also offers luxury. But it is not one of the fastest, most exciting super cars available in the market. The Lexus LFA and the 911 GT2 RS are faster than the SLS. But since the Mercedes SLS AMG is much cheaper than both, it comes at number eight. Not to mention the gullwing doors, which are super cool. Prices start at Rs.1,99,99,927 (Ex-Showroom Price New Delhi ).
There is no doubt about the accelerating capacities of the Lexus LFA; it is very quick in a straight line and around the bends. The only problem with this car is that it is not one of the fastest cars, or the most powerful; it is not even the quickest to 100kmph. Even a ZR1 is enough to beat it around a German track. So, there is no way one could explain the $400,000 price tag. The Lexus LFA is a great work of engineering excellence but it is just a bit too expensive and hence the ninth spot in our list.
We all are aware that the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is very fast, in fact we won't be wrong in calling it crazy fast. But it is not one of the cars that anybody can drive, and people who buy these cars are seldom the racing driver kind. There is not backseat or a radio, just a roll cage. People who purchase this car do not take it out for a drive on daily basis. This is a track car, and that's the reason it is at number 10.
