10 Fastest Cars
Many of us dream of owning one of the world's fastest cars, knowing that such a lofty ambition will never be realized. For some, however, money is no object, and cars that will reach speeds greater than 250 mph are well within reach. The most expensive car on this list of the world's fastest cars of their time sells for more than $4 million, which is a bit of a higher price tag than that Prius you've been eyeing at the dealership down the road. If you have the means and are a speed aficionado, however, you might want to seek out a few of these high-velocity road runners listed below and take them for a test spin.
1999 Leblanc Caroline
The Leblanc Caroline, made by Wysstec, sells for $863,000. It has a Twin Turbo Inline-4 512 horsepower engine and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. The car has reached top speeds of 216.2 mph.
