While modest budgets, shaky nerves and the sad state of Indian roads will likely prevent many of us from ever topping the mythical 200 miles per hour barrier, wouldn't it be fun to drive as fast as F1 champ Lewis Hamilton?

We're talking 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds. We're talking 800+ horsepower. We're talking V12 engines.

In short, wouldn't it be fun to own and drive a supercar?

Well, since dishing out several crores for a single vehicle is not the most practical of aspirations, here's the next best thing: a run-down of the world's top 10 fastest street legal supercars. Enjoy!
