Method and data

Each model appears once, with the highest top speed quoted for any of its versions. Speeds are shown as the manufacturer quotes them, including electronically limited ones. The decade is the year a version, or its generation, went on sale, so a long-lived model can appear in more than one decade. How we collect and check data

Ranked: 23 of 1,149 models in the 1CARS catalog have a figure for this list.

Questions and answers

Which car of the 1990s has the highest top speed in the 1CARS catalog?

The Bugatti EB110 (1991–1996), with 355 km/h (221 mph). Second is the Porsche 911 GT1 with 320 km/h.

How is this ranking compiled?

Each model appears once, with the highest top speed quoted for any of its versions. Speeds are shown as the manufacturer quotes them, including electronically limited ones.

Why is a model missing from the list?

A model is listed only when the 1CARS catalog has a confirmed figure for it. Models without an official figure stay out instead of getting an estimate, and the list grows as we add data. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars are not ranked; limited-run models are marked.
