If you are into cars, then you must see this list of top cars with high horse power.  Although, they are not cheap, they can certainly put on a thrill ride.

No.1 – Nissan GT-R
Horsepower: 480

So the Nissan GT-R’s 480 horsepower strays a bit north from our focus on the 400-ish club. So its refinement may or may not befit a $69,850 sticker price (if you could even have one remotely close to sticker price, that is). The all-wheel drive GT-R brilliantly overcomes its few flaws with world-class technology, 0-to-60 mph performance in about four seconds and unmistakable design. The 3.8-liter, twin-turbo V6 feels a lot bigger than it is, giving instant response under most conditions. Some say it doesn’t exude personality, but with 480 horsepower, shouldn’t that do enough talking? If not, the even more potent Spec V edition is rumored to be coming in spring 2009.
No.2 – Audi R8
Horsepower: 420

Audi supercar: Yeah, not so long ago that just didn’t sound right. The all-wheel drive, mid-engine, $109,000 R8 has changed that and more. The ambitious project was made easier by underpinning the gorgeous aluminum/magnesium body over the chassis of the corporate cousin Lamborghini Gallardo. However, don’t mistake this for badge engineering, because the R8 is generously powered by the automaker’s own 4.2-liter V8 — for now. There’s plenty to suggest the next iteration of the remarkable R8 will be offered with a powerplant derived from their Le Mans racers. And then we’ll all have to get used to the sound of Audi V12 turbodiesel supercar.
No.3 – BMW M3
Horsepower: 414

You might wonder why it seems every review of the $53,800 and up BMW M3 gushes about its greatness, and why every other extreme sports sedan is compared to it. If you have to wonder, you obviously haven’t driven one. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to find out why this car gets the kind of ink it does. Don’t shrug off its 4.0-liter’s 414 horsepower or 4.6-second 0 to 60 time, because the M3 mystique has to be absorbed in its entirety, not just on the basis of certain statistics. Yes, other cars in and out of its class pack more power and speed, but long after your stint behind the wheel is done you’ll still feel the effects of the M3 experience, reminding yourself, “Yeah, that’s why.”
No.4 – Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
Horsepower: 451

For the junior Mercedes, the fourth time is the charm. At last, devotees have a C-Class that in any trim is impressive. When the said fourth-generation C-Class wears the AMG designation on its trunk, it becomes formidable. There’s a blue-pill effect on the price, $63,930, but you’ll appreciate the extra thrust (is 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds acceptable?). It comes from an AMG hand-built, 6.2-liter V8 that positively turns this Benz ferocious. And yes, handling and braking is just as sweet. As a matter of fact, BMW M3 Sedan buyers might want to hold off on their acquisitions until the C63 presents its argument.
No.5 – Dodge Challenger SRT8
Horsepower: 425

The heralded return of Dodge’s muscle-car legend, Challenger, is mostly for the best, especially if you’re into Hemi V8-induced debauchery. Go ahead and order an extra set of the $40,095 SRT8’s meaty 255/45 20-inch Goodyears for the rear, because you just know you’re going to smoke ‘em like its April 20th. Opt for more dash than flash in your technique and the SRT8’s 425-horsepower, 6.1-liter Hemi V8 barks from rest to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds — and that’s with the automatic. For 2009, a six-speed, pistol-grip manual is a welcomed option in the otherwise disappointing interior. No matter; most folks will only see your taillights anyway.
No.6 – Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Horsepower: 415

Speak of the devil, here comes the Porsche 911 now — the 415-horsepower GT3 RS, in fact. Despite the $124,900 sticker, there are more powerful 911s in Porsche’s lineup. There are more expensive ones too. So why is the naturally aspirated GT3 RS so special? Two words: track time. After crossing 60 mph from a standstill in four seconds flat, don’t think you’ve remotely experienced the best attributes. It takes full laps to discover every facet of this turnkey track star because it just keeps surprising and rewarding you. So while it’s not like any other 911, it’s still very much one of the family.
No.7 – Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Horsepower: 420

For 2008, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage couldn’t have qualified for our feature; it only produced 380 horsepower. However, then Aston’s engineers fiddled with the already-entertaining 4.3-liter V8. For 2009, it now displaces 4.7 liters and delivers 420 horsepower. We’d like to think it was for the benefit of inclusion here, but the $120,000-range V8 Vantages are built to woo would-be Porsche 911 buyers, not lowly journalists. To Aston Martin’s credit, its least expensive and least powerful model (both relative terms) is even more worthy of its name.
No.8 – Maserati GranTurismo S
Horsepower: 433

Italian cars rarely need thumping sound systems because the greatest aural satisfaction tends to come from what lies beneath the hood. If you liked the wail of the Maserati GranTurismo’s 4.2-liter V8, you’ll lust after the new 4.7-liter V8, in the new $135,000 GranTurismo S. The soul-stirring begins as soon as the S comes to life and doesn’t quit until its 7,600 rpm redline, during which time we trust you’ll have fired off a respectable 4.9-second launch from 0 to 60 mph — and ventured well beyond 183 mph, if you wish. All the while, it’ll be music to your ears.
No.9 – Jaguar XF Supercharged
Horsepower: 420

Jaguar’s near-fatal attraction to sentimentality is becoming a memory thanks to the acclaimed XF. In Supercharged spec, the $62,975 XF really comes alive with 5.1-second 0 to 60 leaps, and all the grace under pressure expected of the marque. And unlike the flaccid S-Type it replaces, the XF actually has brakes — spectacular ones, no less. Between acceleration and braking, the XF continues to impress, with surefooted handling and ample feedback. A 5-Series BMW this is not, and yet the differences aren’t as great as you might suspect. This car is that good.
No.10 – Chevrolet Corvette
Horsepower: 430

As seismologists prepare for 638-horsepower false alarms caused by the upcoming ZR1, there’s still plenty of ground-pounding in the Corvette range. Sure, the 505-horse Z06 is a hoot, but don’t dismiss the $47,045 standard car’s 430 horses. You still get from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, and the 6.2-liter, LS3 V8 is entertaining without being overwhelming for most respectful drivers — which brings us to the Corvette’s real problem: respect. Even in its finest current form, the Corvette suffers from the stigma of being gold-chained, middle-aged men and lottery-winning rednecks’ ride of choice.
