The head of the fastest car of 2006 is the 2006 Bugatti Veyron — an extreme machine with a top speed of more than 250 mph —
which rockets from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, It tops our List.
The Veyron 16.4 could knock the leaves off of trees as it powers to top speeds faster than any other street-legal production car in the world.
This is the most powerful and fastest car to come straight from the factory, and it boasts the most horsepower to prove it.
The carbon-fiber-bodied, aerodynamic extreme machine has about twice the power of a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 or a Dodge Viper SRT 10.
With a computer-controlled, seven-speed Direct Shift Gearbox, sequential-manual transmission power is propelled into all four wheels.
Because the 2006 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was not adjusted by an aftermarket tuner, it is the first street-legal vehicle to come directly from the factory.
When the Veyron 16.4 reaches a speed higher than 137 mph, hydraulics will lower the car to a minimal 3.5 inches above the road and a rear wing will deploy.
Both the wing and the hydraulics are essential in order to generate enough aerodynamic down-force to keep the car from flying away at such extreme speed.
