2023-12-14 EST 02:30:59

With all the troubles in the world, sometimes you just want to get away. And there’s no better way to leave your worries behind than to get behind the wheel of a fast car. Here’s a snapshot of 15 of the fastest cars available today with manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRPs) under $300,000, listed from lowest to highest MSRP.

It’s interesting to note that in the top five under $100k, three of the least expensive are from Dodge, and the other two are from Chevrolet and Cadillac.

2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat SRT 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat SRT

Dodge Challenger Hellcat – The 707 horsepower rating for the Dodge Challenger Hellcat puts the family-friendly sports car in some rare territory. Not only does the car cost the least of the 15 fastest cars under $300k, it also does 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds and has a top speed of 200 mph. The bad news: FCA has stopped taking orders for the car since they can’t build them fast enough. MSRP: $64,195.

2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat SRT 2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat SRT

Dodge Charger Hellcat – Like the Challenger Hellcat, the 5-passenger Dodge Charger Hellcat puts out 707 horsepower from the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine. Top speed is listed at 204 mph, but note that the car gets an estimated 22 mpg highway fuel economy. Seems incongruous, but it’s true. MSRP: $67,645.

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – An American icon since 1954, the Chevrolet Corvette has long been synonymous with performance. In Z06 guise, the Corvette produces 650 horsepower, does 0-60 mph in about 3 seconds and has a top speed of 200+ mph. MSRP: $79,400.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V 2016 Cadillac CTS-V

Cadillac CTS-V – The aggressive stance of the equally sexy Cadillac CTS-V hints at the 640 horsepower from the luxury car’s 6.2-liter supercharged V8 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The CTS-V does 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 200 mph. MSRP: $83,995.

2016 Dodge Viper-SRT 2016 Dodge Viper-SRT

Dodge Viper SRT – The third vehicle from Dodge on this list is the 2016 Viper SRT, whose 645-horsepower handcrafted, all-aluminum 8.4-liter V10 engine catapults the car to 60 mph in 3 seconds. The Motor City never looked (or sounded) so good. Top speed in the Viper SRT is 200+ mph. MSRP: $89,995.

2016 Tesla Model S 2016 Tesla Model S

Tesla Model S P90D – At 762 horsepower, the Tesla Model S P90D (with Ludicrous Speed option), is the highest horsepower vehicle (along with the Tesla Model X P90D) in the under $300k list.

The Model S P90D has two electric motors, one each in the front and the rear and also boasts all-wheel drive. MSRP: $119,200.

2017 Tesla Model X 2017 Tesla Model X

Mercedes-AMG G65 SUV Mercedes-AMG G65 SUV

Mercedes-AMG G65 – The first of three AMG models with highest horsepower (621 horsepower) and a starting price of less than $300k is the Mercedes-AMG G65 SUV. The hulking but capable G65’s Biturbo 6.0-liter V12 engine propels the car to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. MSRP: $217,900.

2017 Mercedes-AMG SL65 2017 Mercedes-AMG SL65

2016 Lamborghini Huracan Coupe LP610-4 2016 Lamborghini Huracan Coupe LP610-4
