There are some new exciting cars coming out to beat the Veyron’s 1005bhp power and 250mph top speed, making it the fastest production car on earth.  For a long while, the McLaren F1 held the record at 220mph top speed on a 750bhp engine.

Ferrari and Lamborghini are in the drawing boards to make sure they don’t get left out in the running.  Porsche is said to come out with a modified Carrera GT in 2010 – a 911 GT9 sporting a less powerful engine that will match or exceed the Veyron’s trail-blazing 250mph.

The engine’s power will not breech the Veyron’s 1005bhp but since the Carrera has a much lighter body weight, the power-to-weight ratio will result in faster speeds and better performance.
