Sleek, svelte supercars seem to be all the rage, but there’s something delightfully devilish about a family-friendly four-door capable of racecar rivaling speed. With Dodge’s new-for-2015 Charger SRT Hellcat now taking the crown for the world’s fastest four-door, we take a look at the Top 10 fastest production sedans, with info on horsepower, 0-60 times, top speeds and pricing.
With entries hailing from the U.S., the U.K. and Germany, any of these sleeper sedans will outpace most of the fastest coupes on the market once speeds reach the triple-digit range, a testament to the sheer horsepower that they produce.
