The ten street-legal production cars with the quickest independently instrumented 0-60 mph times, from Rimac's 1.66-second record down.
Quick answer: 1. Rimac Nevera R, 2. Rimac Nevera, 3. Lucid Air Sapphire, 4. Porsche Taycan Turbo GT (Weissach Package), 5. Tesla Model S Plaid, 6. Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2), 7. Ferrari SF90 Stradale, 8. Chevrolet Corvette C8 ZR1, 9. Porsche 918 Spyder, 10. Lamborghini Revuelto.
Zero to sixty miles per hour is the acceleration number everyone quotes, but the figures that matter are the ones an independent tester actually measured, not the ones a brochure claims. This list ranks the quickest street-legal, series-production cars by their fastest verified 0-60 mph time, measured with the industry-standard one-foot rollout. It is a snapshot of a class the electric hypercars now dominate: the top of the chart is an all-electric Rimac, but combustion and hybrid machinery from Porsche, Ferrari, Chevrolet, and Lamborghini still crowd the two-second mark. It is for anyone who wants the real, tested pecking order rather than marketing claims.
The quickest-accelerating production car in the world, its 1.66-second run set during final pre-delivery validation on July 9, 2025 and independently verified by Dewesoft. It reaches 0-100 km/h in just 1.72 seconds on Michelin Cup 2 tires.
The standard Nevera set 23 records at Automotive Testing Papenburg, independently verified by Dewesoft and RaceLogic. Its 1.74-second 0-60 was run on Michelin Cup 2 tires with the one-foot rollout.
The quickest four-door car ever recorded in MotorTrend testing at 1.881 seconds with rollout, backed by an 8.94-second quarter-mile. It edged out the Taycan Turbo GT by six-thousandths of a second.
MotorTrend recorded 1.898 seconds with rollout (2.10 s without) on the Weissach-package car, the quickest Porsche the magazine had ever tested at the time. It sits a whisker behind the Lucid.
MotorTrend hit 1.98 seconds with rollout, but only on a VHT-prepped drag surface under Tesla-specified conditions; on standard asphalt it ran 2.07 s. It is listed here at its best verified figure.
The hybrid-assisted 992.2 Turbo S hit 2.0 seconds in Car and Driver testing, matching the SF90 as the quickest internal-combustion-based car the magazine has ever tested. It leads the two-second group on the strength of its launch.
Car and Driver recorded 2.0 seconds for the plug-in-hybrid SF90, among the quickest internal-combustion-based cars it has tested. It ties the 911 Turbo S off the line but pulls ahead at higher speeds.
Car and Driver clocked 2.2 seconds, a tenth quicker than Chevrolet's own figure, making it the quickest rear-wheel-drive car the magazine has ever tested. It backed that up with a 9.5-second quarter-mile, which leads the 2.2-second group.
Car and Driver measured 2.2 seconds for the hybrid hypercar, well quicker than Porsche's own claim, backed by a 9.8-second quarter-mile at 145 mph. A decade on, it still ranks among the quickest cars ever tested.
Car and Driver recorded 2.2 seconds for the V12 plug-in-hybrid flagship. It ties the Corvette ZR1 and 918 Spyder but ranks just below them on quarter-mile pull within the 2.2-second group.

Cars are ranked by their fastest independently verified or instrumented-test 0-60 mph acceleration time, in seconds, lowest (quickest) first. All figures use the industry-standard one-foot rollout, the convention used by U.S. instrumented testers (MotorTrend, Car and Driver) and by the independent data-logging houses (Dewesoft, RaceLogic) that verify manufacturer records. Only street-legal, series-production cars qualify; one-off, prototype, and race-only vehicles are excluded. Where an independent instrumented figure exists, it is used in preference to a manufacturer marketing claim. Ties on the rounded 0-60 figure (e.g. the 2.0 s and 2.2 s groups) are broken by higher-speed pull (quarter-mile time) and power-to-weight as reported by the testing outlet. Each figure traces to the source cited on its entry.
The Rimac Nevera R, an all-electric quad-motor hypercar, holds the record with an independently Dewesoft-verified 0-60 mph time of 1.66 seconds, set during final pre-delivery validation on July 9, 2025.
A one-foot rollout ignores the first foot of travel from a standing start, mimicking how a drag-strip timing beam works. It shaves roughly a tenth of a second off the raw figure, so times measured with rollout look quicker. Because U.S. instrumented testers and independent data-logging houses use it as standard, every car on this list is compared on the same basis.
MotorTrend achieved 1.98 seconds only on a VHT-prepped drag surface under Tesla-specified conditions. On standard asphalt the same car ran 2.07 seconds. We list its best verified figure but note the special surface, since it is not representative of normal road conditions.
At the very top, no: the three quickest cars here are all electric. But hybrid and combustion machinery remains close behind, with the Porsche 911 Turbo S and Ferrari SF90 tying at 2.0 seconds and the rear-drive Corvette ZR1 at 2.2 seconds, all within roughly half a second of the electric record holder.
