* Bugatti Veyron - 2.5 seconds
* Porsche 991 Turbo - 2.5 seconds
* Porsche 918 Spider - 2.2 seconds - limited production, only 918 built.
So it's not the quickest, but it's right up there.
- asimuvPR 10y agoDo you have the data for acceleration past 100MPH? The cars you listed really come to life after a 100MPH and it would be an interesting comparison.
- bryanlarsen 10y ago0-60 and 1/4 mile times here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_car... link from truckle who's currently being blocked (turn on showdead).
- asimuvPR 10y agoThanks. The 2016 model has has a quarter mile time of 10.8 sec @ 121.99 mph. Not bad. Should dip into the 10.5 with grippy tyres. I wish they offered an additional overdrive gear to see if they would get to 200MPH. I don't know if they can handle the aero but they sure have the power.
- ChristianGeek 10y agoAre any of the faster cars still in production?
- aorth 10y agoToday I stumbled upon this video of a fully electric, Croatian-made Rimac Concept One vs a Tesla Model S P90D vs a LaFerrari. The Rimac Concept One destroys everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT7KKxoAvvk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT7KKxoAvvk
- webreac 10y agoI think that you can have these speeds with Bugatti and Porsche only if you are a good pilot. With tesla, you can do it if you have a foot.
- briankereszturi 10y agoThe Porsche has launch control, so there's really no skill involved for a 0-60 run.
- justin66 10y agoThere's a video on youtube of a guy doing it without his hands on the wheel, repeatedly (to show off the durability of the 911's transaxle, I believe, as compared to the GT-R which tended to blow up in the early models). That tech is pretty remarkable.
- runako 10y agoThe Bugatti folks might have a legitimate beef, but I don't think it makes sense to count the unpurchaseable Porsche models as 'production cars'.
- kylec 10y agoThe 918 is unpurchaseable, but you can walk into any Porsche dealer and buy a 911 Turbo S for ~$190k that'll do 0-60 in 2.5s.
- runako 10y agoWe're picking nits, so I'm going to point out that Porsche claims the 911 Turbo S that they sell today does 0-60 in 2.8s, slower than you're suggesting. I don't have firsthand knowledge to be able to say which of you is wrong.
- kylec 10y agoPorsche is conservative with their reported 0-60 numbers. People that have tested it are able to get 2.5s. Look at the first two columns of times in the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration#By_0.E2.80.93100.C2.A0km.2Fh_time_or_0.E2.80.9360_mph_.280.E2.80.9397.C2.A0km.2Fh.29_.283.0_seconds_or_less.29.5Bi.5D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_car...
- justin66 10y agoRollout can account for 0.1 or 0.2 of a second, and that table kind of hand-waves it away: "Some measurements exclude the first foot-rollout."
