10 Fastest Cars With Less Than 300 Horsepower

A car with 300 hp may have been something to boast about a few decades ago, but today they are no longer greeted with the same awe. Thanks to advancements in automotive engineering and technology, cars that bear the label of ´fast´today boast of massive horsepower.
But massive horsepower leads to massive pricetags as well. So manufacturers looking to tap into the hearts of the not-so-wealthy speeding enthusiasts came up with a niche segment of entry level sports cars with sub-300 horsepower. But with the addition of turbo charged engines, automatic transmissions and powerful braking systems, these cars still manage to pack quite a wallop. Take a look at this list of fast cars with less than 300 horsepower!
