SSC Tuatara

Koenigsegg Agera One: 1

Though our fourth placer didn’t make it to the very top, she sure can break banks. Priced at 2.5 million dollars, this mid-engine sports car was designed by its Swedish car manufacturer to succeed their CCX/CCXR models, reducing weight and increasing power to make 400 km/h possible in 20 seconds time.

Lamborghini Aventador LP1600

If you’ve been saving for a precious Lamborghini all your life, then better get the fastest of them all by taking home the Aventador LP1600. The Germany based luxury car modifier gave the already sleek Aventador more muscle, increasing its horsepower to a full 1600 hp – talk about a Lambo on steroids!

Running on a 6.5L V12 engine, this 2-million-dollar Aventador mod can reach its 370km/h max speed before you can even say Ricky Bobby’s famous tagline, “I wanna go fast!”

Red Victor 3

A Vauxhall Victor FD 1967 frame houses one of the most classic engines that could light roads ablaze! This latest Red Victor mod is one that is pumped up to the extremes with its 8.8-litre, twin-turbocharged GM V8 Chevrolet engine.

How would you feel riding next to a Vauxhall mod with a 3000 horsepower Chevy inside? Not as intimidated as with the next one probably.
