Though the cars on this list might not be the fastest ones ever to exist, these are the fastest street-legal vehicles that anyone can own. Why you would ever need to go this fast outside of a race course is a question for another time and place. Check out some of the most mind-blowing (or rather, hair-blowing) fast cars on the road today.

10. Pagani Huayra

The super sleek Pagani Huayra, with its signature leaf-shaped, antennae-like side view mirrors and the streamlined body was the successor to the incredibly fast Zonda and was named for a Quechua wind god. There’s no wonder in the name - the Huayra has a top speed of 230 miles per hour. The Huayra, offered by Italian automaker Pagani, was named The Hypercar of the Year 2012 by Top Gear magazine. Even at more than $1.3 million, as of February of 2015, the Huayra was completely sold out of its limited 100-unit run, as per an agreement with Pagani’s engine supplier Mercedes-AMG.
