Goodbye ICE, Here Comes the EV. The Changing of the Guard Is Official.
Our list of fastest cars by acceleration has lots of familiar supercar faces. As expected, there’s a smattering of Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, McLaren and Pagani cars in the list of the cars with the fastest 0-60 times. Not too surprising right? What is surprising is the number of the fastest accelerating cars that are made by the little guys, the new electric car companies that have barely been around for a decade.
In the world of high-performance automobiles, the quest for the fastest accelerating car has seen a dramatic shift over the past few years. Traditionally, this title was held by internal combustion engine (ICE) supercars, masterpieces of engineering that combined raw power with cutting-edge technology to deliver exhilarating speed. Icons like the Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini Aventador epitomized this era, capturing imaginations and setting benchmarks with their thunderous engines and breathtaking acceleration. However, the landscape has changed rapidly. The past decade has witnessed a revolution in automotive technology, driven by the rise of electric vehicles (EVs). What once seemed like a distant future has quickly become a present reality. Electric cars, once dismissed as slow and impractical, have emerged as serious contenders in the race for speed.
Leading this charge are groundbreaking models like the Tesla Model S Plaid and the Rimac Nevera. These electric vehicles have shattered records and preconceptions alike, demonstrating that silent, battery-powered cars can not only match but surpass the acceleration of their ICE counterparts. The instant torque delivery of electric motors provides unparalleled acceleration, catapulting these vehicles from 0 to 60 mph in mere seconds and redefining the limits of automotive performance. This rapid transition from ICE dominance to electric prowess is a testament to the relentless pace of innovation in the automotive industry. It highlights a broader shift towards sustainability without compromising on the thrill of speed. As battery technology continues to advance and more manufacturers invest in electric platforms, the era of the electric supercar is not just on the horizon – it is here, accelerating faster than ever before.
That’s the beauty of the fast 0 to 60 mph times, it is more about technology than brute force. While massive top speed can be achieved with a huge engine and little else, the quickest car 0-60 needs to be able to put the power down quickly and maximize traction immediately. That’s hard. Engineers are constantly working on new high-performance technology, tire compounds, light-weight materials and advanced electronics to help cars accelerate even faster than their predecessors. Unlike top speed, creating the fastest 0-60 and quarter mile car in the world is as much about the rapid evolution of technology as it is the engine performance.
Note about the data. The times on this list may not be perfect. In some cases we got data from magazines and websites that do extensive testing, in other cases we took the manufacturers word and rarely we looked up forums and quarter mile times other’s achieved. Note, that many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to 60 mph. Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times. Since one-foot rollout before the timer starts is used by some North American publications, times which exclude the time of the first foot of acceleration are included. Main point is try not the freak out, this is a website and we try to share the data we can get our hands on.
Our Take On The Twenty Fastest Accelerating Cars Ever Made
Before we get hate mail telling us the McMurtry Spéirling hit 0-60 mph in 1.4 seconds or the Aspark Owl does it in 1.7 seconds, please know... WE KNOW. This is a post about the fastest production cars ever made, so that's why those two (and others) didn't make the list. In the last decade, the evolution of cars, particularly in terms of 0-60 mph acceleration times, has been nothing short of revolutionary. This period has seen dramatic advancements across both internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs), leading to unprecedented performance levels.
In the early 2010s, ICE supercars like the Bugatti Veyron, with its 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, were among the fastest, achieving 0-60 mph times around 2.5 seconds. These vehicles represented the pinnacle of automotive engineering, combining massive power, advanced aerodynamics, and lightweight materials. As the decade progressed, manufacturers continued to push the boundaries of what ICE vehicles could achieve. Cars like the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and the McLaren 720S utilized cutting-edge materials like carbon fiber and advanced turbocharging techniques to consistently lower their 0-60 times, often dipping below the 3-second mark. Innovations in transmission technology, such as dual-clutch systems, also played a crucial role in reducing acceleration times.
The most significant change in the automotive landscape over the past decade has been the rise of electric vehicles. Early EVs, while environmentally friendly, were not known for their performance. However, this perception changed dramatically with the introduction of high-performance electric cars. Tesla has been at the forefront of this transformation. The Tesla Model S, first introduced in 2012, set new standards for electric vehicle performance. Over the years, Tesla's relentless focus on improving battery technology and motor efficiency led to the creation of the Model S Plaid, capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in just under 2 seconds, making it one of the fastest production cars ever. Other manufacturers have followed suit. The Rimac Nevera, a Croatian electric hypercar, boasts a 0-60 mph time of 1.85 seconds, utilizing four electric motors to deliver an astonishing 1,914 horsepower. Similarly, the Lucid Air, an American luxury EV, has showcased impressive acceleration times, challenging traditional ICE supercars.
And that is the key to this top 20. Very few of the cars here are more than a few years ago. Because such is the progress of technology and time. The latest cars are usually the most advanced, the most powerful and have the best software, making them the fastest accelerating machines. Enjoy the details on the top 20 fastest cars and just now that in a decade, this list is likely going to be very different yet again.
