The Need for Speed,
 
FoxNews.com takes a look at four 'hypercars' that are pushing the limits of performance -- and the 300 mph mark.

as if 200 wasn't fast enough. where could you possibly get a car to do 300?

They came close, way back in '37.

I wonder what sort of gas mileage do they get?

Those horsepower figures are quite staggering, but when it comes to horsepower per liter of displacement this little gem from the 80's has them beat, I'm speaking of the BMW M12/13 turbo 1.5l.
Here is a dyno chart from a low boost run, during qualifying these things pumped out up to 1500. Personally i find the power curve frightening, 200hp in 500 revs.
