SPEED
As we all know Speed cost and the secret number to break seems to be 200 MPH. Now more achievable in some of today's vehicle as these listed. As with each generation the advances in automotive technology seem to take us even further into the future. Further into the possibility of 200 MPH. As of right now there are only a handful of machines that can reach the magic number most of which are listed here. As you read up on each one you will see which factors matter and in which way as well. So take a look at these vehemonts in Horsepower (and price) and decide which one is really worth the money! Entry into the "200 Miles Per Hour Club’ doesn't come easy, or cheap,”. “As speed increases so does the horsepower it takes to push a car through the air -- at a geometric rate. … but ask any speed demon about what 200-plus miles per hour feels like and they'll likely say the engineering (and monetary) requirements are well worth it.” So here below is 5 different ways to reach the magic speed limit all of which are very capable. So take a look and pick one!
5. Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera
Top Speed: 202 mph
Engine: 562 HP 5.2L V 10
MSRP: $237,600
Italian luxury car manufacturer Lamborghini always brings the goods when it comes to power, speed and glamor. The 2013 Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera is no exception.
“Lamborghini knows a modern-day exotic, particularly one from Italy, has to achieve 200 miles per hour if it wants to be taken seriously by wealthy performance enthusiasts,” Brauer said. “The V10 in the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera delivers, with 562 horsepower capable of pushing the car up to 202 miles per hour.”

Top Speed: 205 mph
Engine: 638 HP 6.2L V 8 (Supercharged)
MSRP: $111,600
The Corvette is the epitome of an iconic sports car, a status it’s enjoyed since its introduction in 1953. The 2013 ZR1 not only continues that tradition, it exceeds it.
“Making a bold statement in terms of both horsepower and top speed is the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1,” Brauer said. “At 638 horsepower it's the most powerful Corvette in the model's 60-year history, and at 205 miles per hour it's also the fastest.”

3. Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
Top Speed: 211 mph
Engine: 730 HP 6.3L V 12
MSRP: $343,385
The 2013 F12 Berlinetta is not the fastest car in Ferrari history. That honor belongs to the now discontinued Enzo, which reached 217 miles per hour. However, the Berlinetta can achieve a not-too-shabby 211 mph.
“Ferrari has upped the exotic car ante with its all-new 2013 F12 Berlinetta,” Brauer said. “The F12's 6.3-liter V12, at 730 horsepower, is the most powerful engine the … company has ever placed in a production car.”
So I'm sure you've noticed a trend by now? As we get faster the price tends to rise. Yes Speed does cost as illustrated,

2. Lamborghini Aventador LP700
Top Speed: 217 mph
Engine: 700 HP 6.5L V 12
MSRP: $376,000
The Lamborghini Aventador is named after a legendary beast from Spanish bullfighting. It’s a powerful specimen, as its name implies.
“Lamborghini has a long history of producing top-speed titans, and the Aventador LP700 is the latest ground missile from the Italian exotic firm,” Brauer said. “The car's 217 miles per hour top speed is appropriate given its exterior design, which resembles a modern day jet fighter.”

1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Top Speed: 268 mph
Engine: 1,200 HP 8.0L W 16 (Quad Turbocharged)
MSRP: $2.4 million
The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the fastest car of 2013. It achieves a face-melting top speed of 268 miles per hour, and outpaces its nearest competitor by over 50 miles per hour. It also outpaces its competitors in terms of price.
“A ‘princely sum’ sounds inadequate when talking about a $2.4 million automobile, but if you want to go faster than any other street-legal car ever produced that's what it will cost you,” Brauer said “The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the current King of Speed, and many Veyron owners have ‘king’ in their official title.”
