What exactly would you do if you won the lottery? For many people the purchase of a fast car is certainly in the top 10 but what are the fastest cars in the world?

There are many lists published claiming the Fastest Cars in the World so lets break it down simply by speed. From the Bugatti Veyron to the Porsche Carrera GT all of these cars have a hefty price tag but priceless moments will come for free. How fast are the fastest cars in the world? Here are the 2009/2010 fastest cars in the world by top speed.

1. Bugatti Veyron

With a top speed of 267 mph and 0-60 in 2.5 seconds this gem is nicely priced at a bargain sale of $1.7m. The Bugatti Veyron has 1001 horsepower – yes, that’s 4 digits.

Estimated Car Insurance Cost for the Bugatti Veyron .. over $50,000 a year but well worth it!

2. SSC Ultimate Aero

Coming in at only 10 miles slower (257 mph) but over a million dollars cheaper (base price of $654,400) is the SSC Ultimate Aero. The SSC takes 2.7 seconds to reach 60 mph and has 1183 horsepower. IN 2007 the SCC Ultimate Aero was the fastest car in the world… until the people at Guinness World Records tested the Bugatti in 2009. The estimated car insurance rates for a SSC Ultimate Aero are around $20,000 a year.

3. Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo

One sexy car at $555,000 and a top speed of 248 mph, the Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo manages to pull 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds. Car insurance rates for the Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo will set you back around $20,000 a year but isn’t money relative at this point.

4. Koenigsegg CCX

Top Speed 245 mph, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Base price… only around $545,000

The Koenigsegg CCX is made in Sweden and has 806 horsepower in a V8 engine. Orange was never so cool. Estimated car insurance rates for a Koenigsegg CCX are around $18,000 a year but you will be the coolest kid on the block.

5. McLaren F1

A pinnacle of expensive cars the McLaren F1 is one of the sexiest cars on this list. Maxing out at 240 mph and reaching 60 mph in under 3.2 seconds the McLaren F1 is every superhero’s dream. With a base price of just over $950,000 the estimated car insurance cost for a McLaren F1 is around $30,000 a year but you will join the ranks of owners like the Sultan of Brunei who is rumored to own 9 of these!

6. Ferrari Enzo

Sexy, Italian, Ferrari. 3 words every millionaire loves but this Italian love may cost you much less than a divorce at $670,000. Getting to 60mps in just 3.4 seconds and topping out at 217 mph the Ferrari Enzo was built with V12 F140 Aluminum creating 660 horsepower under the hood. The Ferrari Enzo is also one of the most sought after possessions for wealthy car collectors as fewer than 400 were ever produced. Car insurance rates for a Ferrari Enzo seems to be a bargain around $26,000 a year compared to the price of some Italian suits!

7. Jaguar XJ220

Love me / Love me not? No doubt the Jaguar XJ220 fast at 217 mph and 0-60 speed of 3.8 seconds but its hardly the sexiest machine around partly because it was made in 1992! With only (a little chuckle here at only) 542 horsepower and a V6 engine however the speed is pretty damn impressive. $650,000 will most likely get you behind the wheel of a Jagaur XJ22 and drivers only have to pony up an estimated $22,000 for car insurance rates even if the car is 18 years old.

8. Pagani Zonda F

Often seen in rich city centers in the east such as Singapore and Hong Kong the Pagani Zonda F is a brilliant masterpiece of design and priced just under $675,000. While living in a crowded metropolitan may never get you to experience the Pagani Zonda’s top speed of 215 mph you can surely get to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds somewhere. Estimated Car Insurance Cost for a Pagani Zonda F is around $24,000 a year but no matter how high Pagani car insurance rates are nothing says cool like a Pagani Zonda F.

9. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

You can own one of the most famous cars in the world for $430,000. The Lamborghini Murcielago is simply one of the most beautiful cars in the world and with a 640hp V12 engine its hard not to try and test the speed of light. Thankfully, the Lamborghini Murcielago tops out at 211 mph but you can still feel like a rocket ship getting to 60 mps in 3.3 seconds. Estimated car insurance cost for a Lamborghini Murcielago is around $21,000 a year – just about the price you always imagined for living the dream!

10. Porsche Carrera GT

The only Porsche on the list but well deserved. At $440,000 the Porsche Carrera GT has a top speed of 205 mph and gets to 60 in 3.9 seconds. One of the only V10 cars on our fastest cars in the world list but its a Porsche!! Its also a deal when it comes to car insurance as the estimated car insurance premiums for a Porsche Carrera GT are only around $10,000 a year – hey, we’ll take two!
