Corvette ZR1
Chevrolet is one of motoring’s most iconic brands thanks to models such as the Stingray and Corvette.
Its greatest engineering achievement is the new ZR1. With a 6.2-litre V8 engine, the ZR1 has 634bhp spinning the rear wheels from 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds and 0-100mph in 7 seconds.
And unlike many American sports cars over. As a result of all the testing undertaking on the gruelling 14 mile circuit, the 205mph ZR1 lapped the track in 7 minutes 26.4 seconds.
In comparison, the Ferrari Enzo lapped the same track in 7 minutes 25.3 seconds.
But while you’ll pay more than £800,000 for a used Enzo today, you can get a ZR1 for £109,000.
SSC Ultimate Aero TT
Many people are still adamant that the Bugatti Veyron is the world’s fastest production car, but in today’s world 253mph doesn’t really cut it.
The SSC Ultimate Aero TT entered the Guinness Book of Records for fastest car.
Now that’s impressive, but the fact it was driven by a 71-year old by the name of Chuck Bigelow never fails to amaze us.
This ridiculous speed is down to a 6.2-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine which develops 1,183bhp and 1,094 lb/ft of pulling power. Oh, and it wheel spins at 190mph.
SSC claims its latest version of the Ultimate Aero TT will hit 270mph. We like.
