Top 20 Fastest Cars in the World 2020/2021

Cars are getting faster and quicker. These are the top 20 fastest cars in the world in 2020 and 2021. A few years ago 200mph was a supercar territory, now we have SUVs hitting this mark, and it’s normal for performance sedans to hit 200mph like the Cadillac CTS-V, and for under $100,000.

2019 marks the year when the 300mph barrier was broken. A few manufacturers were and are still working on this goal. In the past, having proper tires that can withstand 300mph was the main issue, but Bugatti beat the odds to become the first manufacturer to achieve a top speed exceeding 300mph. 

This list will be updated regularly through 2020.
