World's Quickest Car? Take a look at the photo and guess which car will not only accelerate to 100mph the fastest but then stop again to zero the quickest. Two Aston Martins, a Porsche, 2 TVR's a Ford GT with 550bhp, a Dodge SRT-10 with 500bhp, a full race Caterham CSR... traction controls, anti lock brakes... Yes it's official the 2005 quickest car 0 -100 - 0mph is the Ariel Atom in 10.88 seconds.
Using a standard fully road legal Atom 2 300 supercharged Ariel have won this year's Autocar 0-100-0 challenge. With datalogged times done in two directions by the same Autocar test drivers the Atom scorched to 100mph in 6.86 seconds and then stopped from 100mph in 3.8 seconds.
In a seperate test to win the Sunday Times fastest car to 60mph the Atom spanked the opposition with a blistering 2.91 second average making it the world's fastest accelerating production car available today.

I heard that the Iroc Convertible is a pretty sweet ride.
