The fastest road leagal car in the world is the BUGATTI VEYRON SUPER SPORT(the barbus tkr has never actually been tested to go 0-60mph in 1.67 and go 270mph)and has a top speed of 432kph though limited to 415kph, 0-60 in 2.5 seconds,7.3 seconds to reach 200 km/h and 16.7 seconds to reach 300 km/h. And has a amazing gear chance time of 0.1 seconds.

The braking consists of chttp://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Reinforced_carbon-carbon#Similar_products,and at 200kph+ the rear wing also acts as a air brake which by itself has the stopping power as a ordinary hatchback.

The Veyron will brake from 400 km/h (250 mph) to a standstill in less than 10 seconds, though distance covered in this time will be half of a kilometer (third of a mile).

It has a w16(two v8s wedged together) engine with four turbo charges.

The fastest? or the quickest? It makes a difference.

Depends on what weekend it is. They all have good races as well as races they would rather forget about. If there were only one dominant driver, racing would get pretty boring.
