10 Fastest Accelerating Cars In The World
One way to determine a car’s speed, is to look at its acceleration capability. Common standards for comparing acceleration between cars are to examine the 0-60 mph acceleration times or 0-100 km/h times of different cars. For this discussion we will be using 0-60 mph acceleration times.
This list include street-legal production cars and modified cars; concept cars, strictly “race only cars”, and one time only vehicles may not be included:
10. Corvette Z06: 2.95 seconds
The performance of the all-new, 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 establishes it as one of the most capable vehicles on the market – and one of the few to achieve sub-3-second 0-60 performance and a sub-11-second quarter-mile time.
9. Nissan GT-R: 2.9 seconds
530 hp. Base price is $89,950. The GTR comes in two trims: Premium and Black Edition. Both come with a 3.8 liter twin turbo-charged V6 engine that produces 530 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 448 pound-feet of torque at 3,200 to 6,000 rpm and. Those unfamiliar with its automated manual transmission may find it awkward at low speeds.
8. Lamborghini Aventador : 2.9 seconds
700 hp. Base price is $379,700. The Lamborghini Aventador is the one of the fastest street legal bull.
7. Koenigsegg Agera R: 2.8 seconds
1115 hp. Base price is $1,600,000. The Agera R is a Swedish supercar. The wings on the Agera R are designed to respond to wind pressure and high speeds. This design is not only lighter than conventional designs but also allows smarter response to headwinds and tailwinds.
5. Pagani Zonda R: 2.7 seconds
Base price $1,830,000. 750 hp. An expensive yet remarkable car, the non-production Zonda R is powered by 750 horsepower with 524 lb-ft of torque. It equals the time of the Porsche 911.
4. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento: 2.5 Seconds
Base price $2,500,000. 570 hp. It is equipped with a V10 engine that is capable of producing 570 horsepower. Now that may not sound much, but if you’ll consider the weight of this car, it is more than enough to produce unprecedented speed.
3. Hennessey Venom GT: 2.5 seconds
Price is $725,000 for the 725 hp variant, and up to $950,000 for the 1200 hp twin turbo V8, which is the variant that is ranking second here. Only 10 will be made every year, and 4 are already on order.

1. Porsche 918 Spyder: 2.2 seconds
Flush as we are with nutty performance cars at the moment, we should remember that automobiles as quick as the Porsche 918 don’t come along too often. With a Price tag of almost $900,000 it was released right around the same time as Ferrari LaFerrari and Mclaren P1 giving them quite a hard time.
