Ever since humans have been making cars, they’ve obsessed with making them faster. Speed is arguably the most important measurement when it comes to automotive progress. And in the last 100 years, we’ve come a LONG way. Today we’re looking back on the fastest car of EVERY SINGLE YEAR for the last 100 years. From McLarens to Bugattis to brands you’ve never even heard of, this is D-List.

A small correction to be made, the SSC ultimate Aero was the world record holder for 3 years between 2007 to 2010 ( It even held the Guinness world record for those years), It was only the super sport Bugatti that held a world record. Also of no relation, There's some pretty cool land car record speeds from jet cars that went over 700 MPH on the land, insanely crazy feat, you guys should check out the ThrustSSC
I don't think those SSC jet cars count since they're not production cars. Probably why they didn't include that 1930s race car with 500+hp that was in forza horizon 4, I forgot the name sorry
It's not a production car
Production car only counts
only 25ish were ever produced other than the prototypes

Everyone thinks it’s Kai-Ron because that’s how you pronounce it in Greek which is the original language that the name comes from, the French decided to change it because they’re annoying and now you get people being annoying about how to pronounce a German/French car with a Greek name

"Hennessey is still considered a tuning company so I can't put this car on the list" puts yellowbird on the list.
Yeah. Actually RUF achieved some criteria to be recognized as car manufacturing company and not professional tuners like Hennessey. Forgot where I found that info.
And the Chiron also doesn’t have an official record
@@Jackson-sh3bs And? I think almost everyone knows that it is the fastest unofficial
RUF didn't tune cars. They toke just the basic of the car, developed own parts and engines and made their own series cars and yes, their cars was made in series.
It's simple, in Germany if a tuner changes more than certain percentage of the car (I think it's 20% or 25%) they can put their own name on it and are considered a car manufacturer and not a tuner. For example other than RUF, Alpina and ABT are also considered manufacturers. RUF has tuned 911's to just a bit more than that necessary percentage but they also build cars almost from scratch which they used Porsche parts for as well as a ton of their own.

4:41 fun fact The 427 cobra is what later inspired dodge to make the viper
Fun Fact: None of those superfast cars of recent years can actually go 250, 270, or 300 mph. Why, you ask? They simply can't go for a full hour at those speeds. Just to set the proper perspective: The Veyron SS at top speed would completely drain it's fuel tank within 12 minutes, the tires would give out roughly within 15 minutes. So, 5 to 6 pitstops and major maintenance within an hour and you are no faster than a cheap midrange family sedan covering 300 miles. The true mastery of building a fast car would be to create a fast car that can actually cover large distances in comfort at high average speed.
I'd love to see a list of fastest-acceleration cars.

Agreed. The real hero in all this honestly are the street legal tires by Michelin. Cars have (unsafely) been doing 300mph for a while on a track in a straight line. Doing it on a production car is a whole other feat.

It's not a production car
Big reason why there didnt come any new faster production cars is because all the metal was being used for tanks in de world war
Yeah, sure let's count Thrust SSC too then.....
Kyron Swift 250GTO wasn’t a production car, this video is really fastest road cars and they missed out loads of faster road cars
Accounting the different bodies of 250 GTO's there are probably more than 50 ever made, which would make it a production car
Commentary is cool Well done
Bugatti owned the speed records in the 1920s. Maybe they weren't really production models, but they should have been mentioned. There were a lot of sick speed records before the twenties, and they blew away the figures from the twenties that are mentioned here, but they were from cars with extremely limited runs, but still worth mentioning.
