Dodge recently put out a video claiming that their Charger Hellcat sledgehammered its way across 204 MPH. The Charger is a bit of a brick, and it's no surprise the car needs over 700 horsepower to hit that speed. Is there a more elegant way?

Ferrari claimed that the F40 snuck its way to 201.4 miles per hour back in 1987. The car was basically a cheese wedge with a wing on the back, and it took just 471 horsepower to get its claimed top figure.
