The fastest car is faster than the fastest police helicopter. However, cars are generally limited to roads and traversible ground, whereas a helicopter can fly a straight line from point A to point B. There are several instances of criminals with fast cars who have managed to lose police helicopters in pursuit. However, they pale into insignificance against the criminals in fast cars who don't.

The physics of any rotary wing propulsion device restricts it's forward speed to around 250 mph. The fastest helicopter in the world currently is the Westland Lynx with a maximum forward speed of 249.10 mph.

No. A helicopter is not faster than an airplane. A helicopter could fly at about 400-650 kph. But a plane could fly much faster than that.

How fast will the helicopters go in the future?

Not much faster. True helicopters are limited in airspeed. The helicopter blade can not fly faster than the speed of sound or it begins to flutter and even stall. The advancing blade has to go through the air faster than the retreating blade. The speed of the blade is the sum of the speed of the helicopter in forward flight plus(+) the rotational speed of the turning blades. If they can design a blade that will work at slow speeds and at speeds greater than Mach 1, then maybe they can build a faster helicopter.
