ACURA NSX







ACURA NSX

Top speed: 190 mph
Zero to Sixty: 2.7 seconds
The Acura NSX has been dominating speed charts since its creation back in 1990. The current model houses a longitudinally mounted, dry-sump, twin-turbo and intercooled, four cam, 75 degree 3.5 liter V-6 under the hood. Along with a nine speed dual-clutch gearbox integrated with an electric motor driving the rear wheels, and two electric motors that power the front wheels, the Acura NSX produces over 550 horsepower. All that equipment under the hood gives the Acura NSX an impressive zero to sixty time of 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 190 mph and a quarter mile time of 10.8 seconds. The suspension is enhanced with magnetorheological self-adjusting dampers, to keep the ride smooth as glass in this road rocket.




TVR TUSCAN SPEED SIX








TVR TUSCAN SPEED SIX

Top Speed: 190 mph
Zero to Sixty: 3.68 seconds
British auto maker TVR takes a long time to produce new models, crafting them one at a time, even sculpting the chassis by hand. The end result being some of the fastest, stylish, and most incredible vehicles. The TVR Tuscan Speed Six is a prime example. Built with both luxury and speed in mind, the Tuscan Speed Six has the look of a luxury roadster, and the power of a supercar. With a 3.6 liter inline six-cylinder engine, cranking out 360 horsepower with 290 lb-ft of torque, the Tuscan Speed Six races to sixty mph in 3.68 seconds and hits 100 mph in a staggering 8.08 seconds; that’s faster than most cars get to 60 mph.









LOTUS EVORA 400










LOTUS EVORA 400

Top Speed: 186 mph
Zero to Sixty: 4.1 seconds
Debuting at the 2015 Geneva Auto Show, the 2016 Lotus Evora 400 boasted some impressive numbers. Powered by a 3.5 liter supercharged V-6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, the Lotus Evora 400 cranks out 400 hp and 302 lb-ft of torque. The Lotus Evora 400 has a zero to sixty time of 4.1 seconds, and a whopping top speed of 186 mph. The Lotus Evora 400 hits such high speeds, the rear wing and diffuser deliver 71 pounds of aerodynamic downforce at 150 mph, without which the car might lift off the ground due to wind resistance. As expected from luxury car maker Lotus, the Evora 400 is beautiful to look at. The exterior, while built to be aerodynamic, looks unique and exotic due to all the curves and body lines.

TVR SAGARIS








TVR SAGARIS

Top Speed: 185 mph
Zero to Sixty: 3.7 seconds.
The TVR Sagaris was built between 2005 and 2006 by British auto manufacturer TVR. Debuting at the MPH03 Auto Show in 2003, the Sagaris was designed with racing in mind. Built with a 4.0 liter straight-six engine producing 406 horsepower, and a 5-speed manual transmission, the TVR Sagaris is a force to be reckoned with. With a top speed of 185 mph and a zero to sixty time of 3.7 seconds, the Sagaris holds it’s own with others in it’s class. A multitude of air vents, intake openings, and other bodywork features allow the Sagaris to be driven at high speeds for extended periods without any modifications for cooling or ventilation. The car’s name comes from a Greek battle-axe used by the Scythians, which was feared due to its ability to penetrate armor.





NOBLE M400








NOBLE M400

Top Speed: 175 mph
Zero to Sixty: 3.5 seconds
British auto maker Noble crafted the M400 to deliver a driving experience unlike any other. Able to hit a top speed of 175 mph, the Noble M400 certainly turned heads in the auto industry. Powered by the same Ford Duratec Alloy Twin-Turbocharged V-6 engine as the Noble M12 GTO-3R, the M400 squeezes out 425 horsepower from the engine, giving it serious speed. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, and the suspension is tuned for performance. The Noble M400 has a zero to sixty time of 3.5 seconds, and can blaze down the quarter mile at 11.7 seconds. Much like the Noble M12 GTO-3R, the M400 had a limited production run, making it a rarity on the streets.
