Fastest car in the world? Believe it or not, it’s not a Ferrari, Lambhorghini, McClaren or Bugatti (the last of which had the record) – it’s actually a Swedish car called the Koenigsegg One:1.
Top 5 fastest cars 0-60mph (miles per hour).
Ferrari F430: 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds.
Lamborghini Gallardo: 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds
McLaren: 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds
Bugatti Veyron: 0-60mph in 2.4 seconds
Koenigsegg One:1 – 0-60mph: tbc but mooted as fastest card in the world!
The second part of it’s name (One: 1) is derived from the fact that it has a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1 ie it produces one horsepower for every kilgoram of weight. The car weighs 1,340 kg and produces 1,340 brake horsepower. It costs £1.67m, so you’d need to be very rich to own one!
Fastest Man in the world / fastest 100m time – 9.58 seconds by Usain Bolt (I was just about to stand up and do a “lightning bolt” sign – classic Usain!
This was a World Record which he set in 2009 in Berlin,Germany.
