22. McLaren F1 Clinic Model
The McLaren F1 is a sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren Automotive. Originally a concept conceived by Gordon Murray, he convinced Ron Dennis to back the project and engaged Peter Stevens to design the exterior and interior of the car. On 31 March 1998, it set the record for the worlds fastest production car, reaching 231 mph (372 km/h) with the rev limiter enabled, and 243 mph (391 km/h) with the rev limiter removed.
The car features numerous proprietary designs and technologies; it is lighter and has a more streamlined structure than many modern sports cars, despite having one seat more than most similar sports cars, with the drivers seat located in the centre (and slightly forward) of two passengers seating positions, providing driver visibility superior to that of a conventional seating layout. It features a powerful engine and is somewhat track oriented, but not to the degree that it compromises everyday usability and comfort. It was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate road car. Despite not having been designed as a track machine, a modified race car edition of the vehicle won several races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, where it faced purpose built prototype race cars. Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998. In all, 106 cars were manufactured, with some variations in the design.

23. SSC Aero SC or 8T 1
SSC in Washington, USA created the Aero SC/8T as the first version of their all American supercar. Called Shelby Super Cars, the company is distinct from Shelby Automobiles and prides itself on impressive top speed and horsepower numbers.
In 2002, the Jerod Shelby and his team worked on a steel space frame and carbon fiber body as a basis for their 250 mph super car. Their replica Lamborghini chassis were similar in design and the first prototype used a twin turbo Corvette V8. Later cars used a supercharged version with a small block Chevrolet V8.
The Aero borrowed many stylistic traits from Italian exotica but is distinctly different from anything produced in America. For instance, the doors were made with a butterfly design and were air operated.The first Aero SC/8T was painted Burnt Copper Pearl. This prototype pulled in a 3.1 second zero to sixty time at the Firebird raceway in March of 2004. Later it was sold at the 2008 Barrett Jackson Palm Beach Auction for $189,200 USD. In the auction description they described the car as First of 2 Shelby Super Car Aero prototypes ever made.

24. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo
A very rare Saleen S7 Twin Turbo with the optional Competition Package is currently up for sale near Houston, Texas. With a host of visual and aerodynamic changes as well as engine upgrades differentiating it from the ?regular S7 Twin Turbo, the Competition Package is the most insane variant of the American supercar ever produced.
Beneath the rather iconic body, the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo Competition Package sees the addition of more boost from the turbochargers to lift power up to 1000 hp compared to the 850 hp delivered by the standard S7 Twin Turbo. The massive 7.0 liter V8 engine revs up to 6500 rpm and it is mated to a six speed manual transmission.
If given all the powers of the Abrahamic God, Jim Carrey would bestow upon himself a Saleen S7 (as we learned from Bruce Almighty). Steve Saleen has only ever made one car that wasnt a tuned version of an already existing car, and that was the S7. The S7 Twin Turbo was the even more powerful version, so of course, thats the model that makes our list. Its 750 horsepower rocketed the S7 to 60 mph in less than three seconds.
