The world's current second fastest car is the Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero with a 257mph speed.

The Bugatti Veyron supersport is the worlds fastest car with a top speed of

267 mph (431 km/h)

However both Bugatti and Shelby are working on more models and both seek to best each other in the future, another car might come out the fastest but currently in 2010 these are the true stats.
