The Hennessey Venom GT is technically the fastest car you can buy. It hit a top speed of 265.7mph on a runway in America. Now the knowalls among you will be screaming that the Bugatti Veyron SuperSports is the fastest car ever tested - and it is, after hitting 267.8mph, but its top speed is limited to 258mph to save its tyres from exploding. So technically the Venom Whatsitsname is the fastest street-legal, production car you can buy.
And the Venom isn't the only member of the double tonne club you've probably never heard of either. In fact, here are 20 of the fastest cars you've never heard of.

You know, I just looked through the cars and I actually had not heard of ANY of them !.
As a petrol head this astonishes me and begs the question, why is the likes of Top Gear so narrow focused ?.
Look !, another Ferrari shaped like folded paper, and another Porche, just like every other one but with the edges filed off !.
Lets have some of these beasties on the show, something other than the big few.
Duhhh !.
Peace.

I say this with respect to MSN but when the test was done the Hennessey did not hit top speed on that test of 265.7mph. Hennessey got the car to 265.7mph on a 2 mile strip at an American airforce base and they boasted that the Buggatti would need a 4 miles track to achieve such a speed and they hope to test the top speed when they get a bigger strip of tar. You can search for it on Youtube.
