Different people look for different things when choosing a car, but for those who spend lots of money on luxury cars, speed is usually very important. Auto makers compete with each other and spend millions of dollars trying to figure out a way to make their cars just a little bit faster. Some drivers want to push their cars to the limit and experience what it feels like to be a professional race car driver. Car companies focus on making their vehicles lighter and more aerodynamic and giving them the most powerful engines they can handle. Here are the 10 fastest production cars in the world, based on their ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour.
