You Go America
I'd give second place to Germany. Between the top of the Porsche model line, the Audi R8, BMW's past supercars (think M1 and even the present M3 and M5), the AMG-ified Mercedes, and the VAG-owned Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini (I know, it's a stretch, but stick with me here), the Germans have been applying their special brand of "zuper" to cars for ages. They have manged to create some of the world's best supercars. It may have something to do with their passion for blitzing.
I can theoretically teleport myself to Tuscany, too. Let's talk after it has some actual numbers under its belt. 😛
It looks like a bat-mobile, but not bad at all & the front reminds me of a bug lol. Its still nice though.

I thought it looked a bit like a mantis.
lol at mantis. It reminded me of a dung beetle lol

*theoretically*, mind.🙂
This ain't theoretical:
The battle for the title of —World??s Fastest Production car?? has just heated up — again. And this time its round two of the classic David vs. Goliath encounter: diminutive Shelby Super Cars taking on the might of VW-owned Bugatti. American one man show SSC, forced the world to take them seriously after the original Ultimate Aero snatched the title away from the Veyron with a run of 256mph

Men and their phallic symbols... always over compensating.
If it doesn't resemble a penis, it will crash . . . therefore
Penises minimize drag and increase safety . . . therefore
Penises save lives.
So take a moment and hug a penis. 🙂

LOL Thx, guys. I know he was joking. 😄
And if he isn't, I'll smother him in his sleep.
I do not like to have my sleep disturbed!

- sorry i have been wanting to say this since i saw the post on the plane and was unable to comment. i know a bunch of car enthusiasts who would claim that europe is still number 1 when it comes to making the fastest, sexiest, reliable vehicle ever known on four wheels
U.S may have debuted this now, but trust me...there will be competition that will crush this
and poisson is not ugly. your comebacks suck. your super sayan avi uses sperm for gel...thats why its hair is so erect. take that!
Super Sayan ...don't disrespect
I am Vash The Stampede 😄

US= fastest on a straight line lulz!
it's ugly and looks cheap. and wtf is wrong with the interior? pleather?
Hey now no need for that!
I give credit where credit is due.
The Nissan GTR is one hell of a bad ass hug the corner car for a bargain price I might add.
It is also in the top 10 on the Top Gear track.... Holy grail area there
When it comes to tight turns and performance like that sure
But can't hit the top speeds of these cars 😄
Dude the chasis are made of carbon fiber whatchu smoking?
The SSC Tuatara is by some definitions more of a hypercar than a supercar, but whatever you want to call it, it comes packing an SSC estimated and truly colossal 1,350 horsepower. That power comes form an in-house-designed 7.0-liter DOHC V8 being force-fed an absurd amount of air with the help of a pair of turbochargers.
Drivers manage that power through a seven-speed SMG transmission via paddle shifters. That power is then transferred to the ground through the world's first carbon fiber wheels - which dramatically reduces parasitic drivetrain loss and reduces unsprung weight, improving acceleration, top speed and handling.
Of course, the body and chassis are just as advanced and also put an emphasis on shedding weight thanks to a carbon fiber body, cab and sub frame - along with aluminum crash structures.
The results of all of the engineering going into this vehicle include a zero-to-60 time of just 2.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 9.75 seconds at 144 miles per hour and a projected top speed of 276 mph. the Tuatara can also sustain its grip at up to 1.05 lateral g's on a skidpad, and can accelerate from a dead stop to 100 mph, then back to a stop in just 11.25 seconds.
Braking from 60 mph to zero takes 103 feet.
Like the Ultimate Aero that preceded it, the SSC Tuatara is built in America at the automaker's Washington plant.

let's be honestly here, i can soup up a potato gun to shoot a turd faster than any production car on earth.
straight line speed is for the birds. engineering prowess is seen on a track. the weight distrubution, driver handling, cornering agility, braking prowess etc are all much harder to achieve than straight line speed. Slap on another turbo. durrrrrrr

NOPE when you want the fastest top speed car in the world look non other than to the homelands of the good old US of A for the 950,000 carbon fiber 1300hp V8 twin turbo Shelby SCC Ultimate Aero!
Top speed theoretically 273 miles/hour!
REST OF THE WORLD GET OWNED!!!!
OWNED
OWNED
Oh did you think because of all the performance this car would have shit interior?
