Fastest Car In The World 2018 0 To 60
The initial sprint that a sports car can offer is one of those thrills gearheads will always look for. Over the years, car manufacturers have fought a real war to give birth to the fastest car in the world, and we've seen the 0-60mph times drop dramatically.
At the time being, the fastest stock sports cars in the world can run 0-60mph in less than 3.0 seconds, which is an astounding result. Now, for many car manufacturers, the challenge is to beat the 2.0 seconds barrier, implementing electric motors to already powerful supercars. Let's take a look at the fastest cars available now!
10 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 - 0-60 Mph In 2.8 Seconds
A modern Stingray is an already powerful supercar. What could make it even more powerful is the Z51 package which includes stickier tires, bigger brakes, improved cooling, enhanced traction, and a power bump.
When the Corvette Stingray Z51 was released in 2020, Chevrolet's engineers promised a thrilling 0-60 time of 3.0 s. Well, independent tests showed that the car is perfectly at ease in brutal accelerations. Actually, 0.2 seconds less than the manufacturer's numbers is quite the achievement.
9 2019 Ferrari SF90 Stradale – 0-60 Mph In 2.5 Seconds
All the projects developed at Ferrari come to life in such an effortless way. Actually, there are countless hours invested in studying how a road-homologated car can reach a performance typical of a race car.
The SF90 Stradale is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. It means that it comes with an internal combustion engine, in this case, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 block, mated to one or more electric motors. To increase the V8's 769 hp, three electric motors work together to push the car to an outstanding 1,000 hp of brutal force.
8 2019 BMW M8 Competition - 0-60 Mph In 2.5 Seconds
At BMW preserving an unquestioned style, and sense of luxury, even when building extremely high-performing cars is a trademark. An example of that is the fast, brutal, yet classy-looking M8 Competition.
The choice of employing an internal combustion engine is the result of decades of study and advanced technology improvements. The 4.4-liter S63 twin-turbo V8 engine puts out some 600 hp, and the 553 lb-ft of torque is available starting from a low rpm. This allows the M8 Competition coupe to burn the 0-60 time in a ridiculous 2.5 seconds.
7 2015 McLaren P1 - 0-60 Mph In 2.6 Seconds
European car manufacturers have always had a special affection for lightweight cars. This adjustment helped small-engine cars to be competitive with the larger American muscle cars in the past. Of course, when building a modern hypercar, a lightweight body isn't optional.
The 2015 McLaren P1 used the finest and lightest materials for the body and mechanical components. The hybrid hypercar is packing a 3.8-liter V8 engine, which is mated to an electric unit which contributes to the total figure of 914 hp and 664 lb ft of torque.
6 2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo - 0-60 Mph In 2.4 Seconds
Although Japanese cars boast a fine reputation for building reliable vehicles, over the years, those cars have made cars enthusiasts' heads spin because of their performance. It looks like one of the ultimate cases is that of the 2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo, which is one of the fastest cars in the world.
It's a 600 hp car, and this is something that has made many pilots out there wondering whether it was legal or not. Actually, it is not the first time that we meet such a powerful Nissan coupe, the fact is that — this time — this brutal power comes stock out of an ICE twin-turbo V6.
5 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon - 0-60 Mph In 2.3 Seconds
When it was first introduced, in 1970, the Dodge Challenger wasn't simply to propose an alternative to pony cars or muscle cars. Its intention was that of challenging all the other competitors, in terms of style and raw power. The HEMI-powered Challenger is, in fact, one of the most appreciated muscle cars of all time. Well, we must say that the current generation is pretty much in line with its ancestor.
How wild is the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon? Just by looking at some specs, the feeling that you could get is simply thrilling: the large 6.2-liter HEMI V8 SRT is an already performing block. Imagine having it boosted with a supercharger and an intercooler system that pushes it to 808 hp and 770 lb ft of torque. For sure, this one wouldn't be exactly a docile daily driver.
4 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante - 0-60 Mph In 2.3 Seconds
While the Dodge Challenger, in its most extreme version, could be yours for $86,090, there are some fast cars that are definitely more expensive. One of these hypercars is the Lamborghini Huracán Performante, which is destined for an exclusive, and wealthier, public.
Lamborghini chose to preserve the tradition of a top-quality 5.2-liter V10 internal combustion engine with 640 hp. Also, the suspension, the smart power-steering functionalities, and the advanced ALA system — which is the result of several internal studies on the car's aerodynamics — contribute to making the Huracan Performante one of the fastest road-homologated cars in the world.
3 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S - 0-60 Mph In 2.2 Seconds
Since the introduction of the first Porsche 911, the Stuttgart company wanted to make it clear: to give birth to a fast car wasn't a challenge with competitors only, but it was a challenge against the laws of physics. This is why, over the years, engineers at Porsche have developed such brilliant mechanical improvements on the 911; and, today, the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S is one of the fastest cars that has ever hit the road.
The 911 Turbo 2 features a twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 24-valve flat-6 engine. The 3.7-liter block as well as the heads are made from aluminum. It develops 640 hp, and while the car manufacturer specs report a 2.6 seconds time on the 0-60, independents tests showed the car can easily reach the unbelievable figure of 2.2 seconds.
2 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - 0-60 Mph In 2.1 Seconds
The 911 Turbo S could be considered a brilliant example of mechanical art because it reaches outstanding performance out of an internal combustion engine alone. Rather, the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder features a less traditional hybrid powertrain system. Carbon fiber monocoque and seats, as well as numerous aluminum parts, make this lightweight hypercar one of the most ambitious cars Porsche has ever produced.
The hybrid 4.6-liter engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and develops 887 hp. The high power outlet is distributed to the 918 all-wheel-drive system, which allows the car to reach the barrier of 217 mph. As you could imagine, this hypercar is something really exclusive. Its price starts at about 1 Million US dollars.
1 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid - 0-60 mph in 1.9 Second
Despite the infinite efforts by car manufacturers of building hyper-performing gas-engine cars, we must admit that, for the time being, some scores are unattainable without the help of electric motors. Although hybrid hypercars can develop a massive quantity of horsepower, full electrically-powered cars seem to be unbeaten when releasing high power at lower rpm, as well as torque.
The 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid, like it or not, is able to beat the 2.0 seconds barrier when sprinting from 0 to 60 mph. Its drag coefficient is reduced to the minimum and the 3 motors develop a peak of 1020 hp. Will this be the most game-changing car of the decade?
These Are The Most-Produced Sports Cars Of All Time
Some might think sports cars are only for the rich, but seeing as certain models have been made in the millions, that's certainly not true.
