This design ensures that the car adheres to ground at high speeds. The top speed of this Ferrari is 340 km/hr. The dragster takes 3 seconds to reach 100 km/hr mark from 0.

PORSCHE GT2 RS Porsche GT2 RS may not look as

dynamic and stylish as the Ferrari’s or McLaren’s. But with a 3.6L engine it has much to offer under its wheels. The power drawn out of this engine is 612 bhp and torque is 700 Nm. The top speed attained by this sports car is 330 km/hr and it takes just 3.4 seconds for it to touch 0 to 100 km/hr. Porsche GT2 RS beats McLaren F1 by 0.5 seconds in 0 to 160 km/hr range. The car weighs much lesser than its previous model, the GT2. This factor has given Porsche GT2 RS an excellent power to weight ratio.
