Default TG 100 Fastest Cars

What's faster: a Peugeot 205 GTi or a Bugatti Veyron? A 38bhp Fiat 695 or a Mitsubishi Evo?

If you reckon it's the Bugatti and the Evo, you're wrong. Sure, they might edge it on top speed or lap time, but who cares about numbers?

Speed is about context, about the way a car makes you feel. That's why our 100 Fastest Cars gallery is packed with cars that feel fast. Really fast. That's why a base-spec Lotus Elise weighs in above the Lambo Countach, and why a rattly French hot hatch is challenging for top spot.

The Pug GTi didn't quite get there, though. To find out what the fastest car ever is - and there's no room for arguing here - check out our definitive countdown.

Hahaha at #1 ... one of life's great misteries

The only thing I didn't care for in that list was that it took a good 20 mins to go through them all. Still, TG has some fine journalists... 8)

the list wasn't very consistent like the criteria with which they chose some cars, once they say 'it's not about numbers' and then on the next picture 'it's the numbers that bring this here...'

butthe #1 is really a good choice
