Fastest street legal car

I was reading an article in popular science about a car that is out that produces 1001 HP, 932 ft lbs of torque, 16cylinder engine. And its street legal. It costs 1.2 million dollars
By the way top speed is 253mph.

Sounds like the Bugatti Veyron.

I think it's been clocked at 252 mph.

Yup, thats the Veyron allright. It has a suspension that lowers when you hit over 100 MPH. It drops the car a few inches to get a better handle at high speeds

Veyron's base price is 1.25 Million.


For 1/2 that price, you can get a Saleen S7. 750HP, 700 Torque, 0 - 60 in under 3 seconds, and American made.

The price changes as world markets fluctuate (Euro to $)

Current is 1.4

Not that it really matters....

It actually costs the company like 4 million to make but they are selling it at a loss

I would love to have one of those Saleens.
When I'm down by the dealer that has one I always slow down as I pass by.
