Most Formula One cars have a top speed of over a 300 km/h with some cars reaching 330 km/h in fast straight circuits like Monza, Japan etc. The highest speed ever to reach by an Formula One car is 368.16 km/h and without the wings are capable of reaching over 400 km/h.
412.99
depends completely on the cars aerodynamic setup, gear ratios, ect. The highest recorded speed however of an F1 car was by the 2005 Honda F1 car which reached a flash reading of 400km/h at Bonneville however because it could not reach it on the way back its official speed record 397km/h. The quickest F1 car speed of the 2011 season was 350km/h by Sergio Perez at Monza though on average the top speed of an F1 car at an average circuit would be around 315km/h
As far as production cars go the McClaren F1 has the highest top speed.
bugatti veyron and before anyone says meclaren f1 note veyron top speed 253MPH meclaren top speed 231MPH
top speed is 225 mph
A Formula 1 car reaches approx 210mph during a race. This top speed is limited by the large amount of downforce (2 tons) applied. I have seen footage of a car doing 265mph.
The mclaren f1 was the fastest production car in the world until the bugatti veyron, capable of a top speed of 240mph. Mclaren also made a race version called the F1 LM which won the le mans 24hour race.
374 mph
Varies by what engine era. V10, V8 or the new V6 turbo. Like wit any other F1 car, it is down to set up and tyres. Typical top speed of the V6 engine is about 210 based on the circuits in F1 calendar. The maxium top speed is 249 mph with FIA regulations of the year it was done or 257mph based upon set up for pure speed and minimum downforce.
Some Ferrari models, like the F40, F50 and more recently, the F60, have similar performance to a McLaren F1 around a circuit - but most cars in the world today, can match the F1's top speed of 275 km/hr a Ferrari has a top speed of 345mph and is better than a Mclaren F1.
F1 cars never really get up to their absolute top speed as even in qualifying, they wouldn't get to their max speed. To get to high speed at tracks like Monza and SPA during a qualifying race weekend session. Low downforce with aero stream can help to get a F1 car to it top speed at the track. For off track, it those with a long enough road bearing in mind tyres can explode and to have enough fuel to get to speed without effecting performance.
The latest Mclaren, the Mp4-12c goes 0-60 mph in about 3.5 seconds with a top speed over 200 mph. I'd guess probably around 220 mph. The Mclaren F1 of the 1990's held the world speed record for a production car for years with it's top speed of 240 mph.
