Price: $2,200,000 (est) | 0-62 mph: 2.9 seconds
Top Speed: 254 mph | Mileage: N/A

The CCXR Edition from Swedish boutique automaker Koenigsegg gives the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 a run for its crown as the fastest, priciest production car in the world. Not only does its 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine produce a ridiculous 1,018 horsepower

Nissan Skyline GT-R!!!

The Nissan Skyline became one of the most successful cars for street and motor racing (particularly in Japan). Its dominance was so great that people started calling it Godzilla.

Design: Based on the standard Skyline coupe frame, the GT-R version packed several racing accessories, and it became famous world wide after its appearances on video games (ever played Gran Turismo?).

Performance: The R33 version used the same 2.6-litre engine of the R32, but it introduced several improvements, like a better oil pump and an advanced intake camshaft. The result? A potency of 450 horse power, a top speed of 200 mph (323 km/h) and an acceleration from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) of 4.0 seconds

Bugatti Veyron

Not a classic like the others on the list, but the Bugatti is the fastest accelerating street legal car in the world, so we felt like it should be included.

Design: The car is, hhmm… rounded. The company decided to go with a new designer for this formerly concept car. Jozef Kaban from Wolkswagen is the man behind it (personally I think that he could have done a better job).

Performance: Packing a 16 cylinders engine with a displacement of 8 liters, the car is capable of producing 987 hp. The car holds the world acceleration record, going from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.46 seconds. Running at its top speed of 253.2 mph (407.5 km/h) a full tank runs dry in about 10 minutes.

Chick Factor: Medium. Someone buying a Bugatti is obsessed with speed. Girls will think that he should be done within 2 minutes or so, if you know what I mean.
