As of February 6, 2018, the fastest car that humans have ever built. This is not because it drives quickly, but rather that Elon Musk strapped one onto a fucking rocket and shot it into orbit.
Get your Tesla Roadster, the fastest car in the world, once you pay for it to be launched into orbit.

Chronology
Predecessor Tesla Roadster (first generation)
The Tesla Roadster is an upcoming all-electric battery-powered four-seater all-wheel-drive sports car concept in development by Tesla. Inc. Tesla has claimed that it will be capable of 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 1.9 seconds, which would be quicker than any street-legal production car as of the announcement in 2017. The Roadster is the successor to Tesla's first production car, which was the 2008 Roadster.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that Roadster should ship in 2023. Musk said in a tweet that higher-performance trim levels will be available beyond the base specifications, including a SpaceX package which would "include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around the car" which would supposedly allow for dramatic improvements in "acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering".
Elon Musk: Hey can we remake our first hypercar but add a rocket booster?
Franz von Holzhausen: Yes, we can call that Tesla Model R
Elon Musk: Nah, I will call it Tesla Roadster 2.0
