New Delhi: If there was one feature that was a must for sports cars, it would most certainly have to be speed. While sports cars are becoming hugely popular in India, their true power often remains untested as most of the country’s roads are poorly maintained and could cause serious damage to both the vehicle and the driver inside.
Still, there are a number of sports cars available in India in case people are interested in them. Today, manufacturers across the country sell cars that offer looks, performance, and most of all, speed. Here are the 5 fastest cars you can buy in India in 2020.

The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission that has RWD driving characteristics. As for acceleration, the Vanquish can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 324 km/h.
