The ten fastest cars in the world!

While modest budgets, shaky nerves and the sad state of Indian roads will likely prevent many of us from ever topping the mythical 200 miles per hour barrier, wouldn't it be fun to drive as fast as F1 champ Lewis Hamilton?

We're talking 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds. We're talking 800+ horsepower. We're talking V12 engines.

In short, wouldn't it be fun to own and drive a supercar?
