5.SSC Ultimate Aero: $750,000

Ultimate is as Ultimate gets. That's how you describe the SSC Ultimate Aero, the one-time fastest car on the planet, thanks in large part to its monster V8 engine that produces 1,287 horsepower with a staggering top speed of 273 mph. Many have described the SSC Ultimate Aero as the Bugatti Veyron's kryptonite, and for good reason. Before Bugatti recently reclaimed the title of fastest production car on the planet, the Ultimate Aero held that lofty title, one in which they're itching to get back. As for the price tag for one of these bad boys, it's going to cost you $750,000. Speed has a price, so they say.
