10 fastest cars of 2013 CNBC.com
Top 10 2013


Even though it’s only July, car enthusiasts are already looking ahead to next year. While many of them are sizing up 2013's models to determine price, fuel economy and durability, others only want to know one thing: how fast does this thing go?

What follows is a list of the 10 fastest cars of 2013. It was provided by Karl Brauer, CEO and editor-in-chief of TotalCarScore.com, an online review aggregator and information resource for cars currently on the market.

“Entry into the ‘200 Miles Per Hour Club’ doesn't come easy, or cheap,” Brauer said in an e-mail. “As speed increases so does the horsepower it takes to push a car through the air -- at a geometric rate. … but ask any speed demon about what 200-plus miles per hour feels like and they'll likely say the engineering (and monetary) requirements are well worth it.”

The list does not include cars made in extremely small numbers, so if a car company has fewer than 20 dealers worldwide or sells fewer than 20 models a year worldwide, it isn't included.

Read ahead and see which cars made TotalCarScore.com’s list of the fastest cars of 2013.

I'm surprised the 2013 Shelby GT500 is not on there, I thought is in the 200MPH club as well.

Testing of the new Shelby recently only made it to the mid 180's so far with several excuses. Ford has only stated it would do 200 but so far its a no go.

Actually, looking at that list I think it's great!
You can take 2 high performers from the list, #5 and #6, buy one of each and still have money left over to build a garage to keep them in...
AND they are both AMERICAN! :usa:

According to this it does 200mph in the right environment... Motortrend apparently *only* got 196mph out of it.... :D

The grunt to reach 200 mph in the Shelby GT500 is provided by a supercharged 5.8-liter V-8 that pushes out 662 hp and 631 lb-ft of torque. Coupled to a six-speed manual transmission and electronic launch control, the engine makes for some serious performance for the newest Ford rocket. We also tried to hit 200 mph in the 2013 Shelby GT500 at a test track in Arizona, but unfortunately only managed a still-impressive 196 mph.

It was easy for the GT500 to hit 200 mph at the Nardo ring in Italy, the track is known for its high tail winds and downhill sections of straightaways :lmao:

That top 10 list is a pretty awesome group to be included in!

Cheers,
George
