MOST POWERFULL THAN THE BUGATTI VEYRON!!!
The Fastest American Cars
Two current American cars could have clobbered the Concorde in a race on the runway.
The storied supersonic jet, which made its final commercial flight in October 2003, had a takeoff speed of 225 mph. For the American SSC Ultimate Aero supercar, which has a top speed of 260 mph to 273 mph, 225 mph sounds like idling speed.
In a recent e-mail message, an SSC spokesman wrote about "loafing around Pocono [a famous NASCAR track in Pennsylvania] at speeds of around 210 mph."

Top Speed: 260 to 273 mph
The Ultimate Aero is one of the most extreme vehicles--make that one of the most extreme ideas--of which we have ever heard. It achieves such ridiculous performance with a 1,046-horsepower V-8 engine (you read that hp figure correctly), shoehorned into a car that weighs as much as a Dodge Neon.
