Elon Musk claimed that the Tesla Model S Plaid – the latest and fastest evolution of the all-electric sedan – was the first production vehicle to fall below the two-second mark from 0 to 60 mph. There`s a caveat, though, because the staggering numbers generated by its 1,006 horsepower not only require the plaid to condition its battery and engine temperature for a few minutes before a launch, but the fastest numbers were also recorded on a tow track with a prepared surface and one-foot deployment. Yet even without taking these measures, the Plaid would reach 60 miles per hour in just under 2.3 seconds, devastating internal combustion engine supercars. The 765LT has undergone a number of upgrades over the 720S to achieve a small but significant reduction of 0-60mph. A new aerodynamic package, the tuning of the V8 4.0 and even thinner glass are just some of the measures that make the 765LT very special. Nissan GT-R NISMO is one of the most popular super sports cars by car enthusiasts, and it comes with a twin-turbo V6 engine. With 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque, it is capable of reaching a speed of 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and weighs 3,800 pounds. A new two-liter turbocharged Ford Duratec engine develops 310 horsepower, giving the driver even more kicks in the back and accelerating the Seven 620R from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 2.8 seconds. Learn more about the 2013 Caterham Seven 620R. The Porsche 911 Turbo S (997) is powered by a 3.6-liter boxer engine with 6-turbo engine with 5-speed Tiptronic S and 6-speed manual transmission. It produces 480 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, reaching 0-60 mph in just 2.6 seconds.
In addition, the total weight of this supercar is only 3,495 pounds. The BMW M8 Competition has a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine (also supported by aluminum blocks and heads) and an 8-speed automatic transmission. It produces 617 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque to reach 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds and weighs 4,321 pounds. Engineers are constantly working on new high-performance technologies, tire compounds, lightweight materials and advanced electronics to allow cars to accelerate even faster than their predecessors. Unlike top speed, the development of the world`s fastest car from 0 to 60 and a quarter mile relies as much on the rapid evolution of technology as on engine power. The Vortex F1 joins the latest group of stripped-down supercars such as Ariel Atom, Hulme F1 and Caparo T1. They describe the car as a “concept car that can be registered and driven as a legal vehicle on the road.” With an all-new design, Vortex Motors also hopes to break acceleration records with its first model, known simply as the F1. Learn more about the 2010 Vortex F1. There you go! The fastest production car on the plane is the Koenigsegg Gemera. Interestingly, it has four seats. It also has the smallest engine on the list (obviously except the one that has no engine at all). According to Dupont Registry, the fifth fastest accelerating car is the Lamborghini Huracan Performante.
It`s hard to believe that just placing in the top five requires a time of less than 2.5 seconds. The wealth of aerodynamic, electronic control and handling innovations, used for the first time in a single vehicle, make this model a true technological laboratory. The solutions chosen for the 599XX – many of which will remain exclusive to the 599XX – improve its level of performance and can be summed up in a very relevant statistic: a Fiorano lap time of only 1 minute and 17 seconds. Despite being an extreme car, the 599XX still retains the ergonomics of the road model, which is essential for non-professional drivers with intense track driving. Learn more about the 2012 Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione. The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 769 horsepower and 590 pounds of torque. This is one of the best turbo cars that weighs 3,527 pounds and reaches 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. That`s the beauty of fast 0-60 mph and quarter-mile times, it`s more about technology than brute force.
While a massive top speed can be achieved with a huge engine and nothing else, the fastest car 0-60 must be able to quickly reduce power and maximize traction instantly. It`s difficult. Bugatti is considered the manufacturer of the fastest and fastest super sports cars, and the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is no exception. It comes with an 8.0-liter W16 engine with 7-speed automatic transmission. In addition, it develops 1,577 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque to reach 0.60 in just 2.3 seconds. The fastest production car in the world might be the 330mph Koenigsegg Jesko Absolute, but we may never know. Maths support it, but there are few places where the Swedish supercar could reach its maximum, so there has been no attempt. The SSC Tuatara is technically in the lead with an average of 316 miles per hour over two runs, but this attempt is controversial.
The only vehicle we know for sure has cracked 300 mph and is undoubtedly the fastest car in the world, is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, which has reached 304 mph. Tesla Model S Plaid is also one of the fastest cars from zero to 60 miles per hour, and it comes with Tesla`s first-ever three-motor powertrain. It weighs 4,816 pounds, offers 1,020 horsepower and produces 1,050 pounds of combined torque. It is a fully electric car and offers the fastest acceleration and longest range of any electric car in production. The world`s fastest car is the jet ThrustSSC, which has held the land speed record since October 1997. Here we have gathered the 25 fastest 0-60 production cars of all time. Note that our list of fastest cars from 0 to 60 is exclusive to road-legal cars that are also considered production vehicles. “Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds has never seemed so civilized, so inappropriate, so `ridiculous` as Tesla describes its hottest Model S yet, the all-electric P90D.” Place the car in the middle of the wide and empty road, hold the thick rim wheel, note the silence: there is no rumbling V12 supercar, despite the performance of the super sports car. “Maybe you want to put your head against the chain.”
