"quickest car in the world" is an interesting choice of word.
Is that to stand out from the slogan tropes like "fastest car in the world" / "fastest in its class"?
- azhenley 9y agoI think they are getting at a subtlety between being fast (speed) and being quick (acceleration).
- delish 9y ago“Quickest” in auto-journalism typically refers to acceleration. So 0-60. “Fastest” typically refers to top speed. So e.g. 250mph.
- wybiral 9y agoThanks. I didn't know that distinction.
- noodlenoises 9y agofast--top speed. quick--acceleration. Bugatti probably has them beaten on top speed. This roadster doesnt look very stable at 200+ mph with its short wheelbase.
