Top ten fastest production cars from zero to sixty mph
How quick is swift? Is it the highest top speed, the quickest quarter-mile or the very first to cross one hundred km/h? All of these are good yardsticks, for sure, but the eyeball-flattening nature of a launch to sixty mph (97 km/h) is the gold standard by which most manufacturers measure a car’s spectacle, the one regularly trotted out by fans or friends to officially lodge the score about which favourite car is fastest.

Slew of factors affect zero to one hundred km/h times, of course. Stats from British or U.S. manufacturers are made in runs to sixty mph, not one hundred km/h (62 mph); or, they’re crudely converted. Other rankings might exclude initial “rollout,” the distance a vehicle can budge before a timing device is activated, which can account for fractions of seconds. Tires, driver weight, atmospheric conditions, track surface and temperature can also play a role. When striving for under three seconds to sixty mph, however, every millimetre and every fraction of a 2nd counts.
Wikipedia, however, has updated its fastest production cars by acceleration by reconciling manufacturer claims with reliable, independent and verifiable sources, then ranking the quickest to sixty mph, as well as the quickest in the quarter-mile (402 metres). According to the online encyclopedia, the list is off the hook to “production vehicles” — those “being constructed principally for retail sale to consumers, for their private use, and to transport people on public roads.” To be called a production car and be eligible for the under Three.0-second club, the original manufacturer must have built twenty five or more units (those by tuners not included, nor are limited hand-built models), as well as be fully street-legal, passing all government tests, in the market for which they will be sold.
