At this point in time, what are your current picks of the 3 fastest
cars (in speed terms) in the world (which can include any F1 car/s)
and please separately say why, for each car named.

Do mean production car or just a protoype ? I think either the Bugatti Veyron or the Shelby Supercar Ultimate Aero as both have topped the 400 km/h. The Koenigsegg and the McLaren F1 are also very fast cars!!

F1 cars aren't street legal so they can't really be compared. I remember Honda was attempting a Formula 1 land speed record with a modified F1 car at Bonneville flats and reached 397 km/h. During prior tests on a track the car reached 413 km/h.

The top speed for a Formula 1 car during a race was 369.9 set in 2004 by Antonio Pizzonia in the BMW Williams at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza
