List of fastest production cars by acceleration


This list is limited to unmodified production cars which meet the eligibility criteria below. All entries must be able to be verified from reliable sources.

Eligible cars

Because of the inconsistencies with the various definitions of production cars, dubious claims by manufacturers and self-interest groups, and inconsistent or changing application of the definitions, this list has a defined set of requirements. For further explanation of how these were arrived at see the links above.

Production car definition

For the purposes of this list a production car is defined as:
  1. Being constructed principally for retail sale to consumers for their personal use, and to transport people on public roads ;
  2. Fitted with the original manufacturer-supplied road tires;
  3. Having had 25 or more instances made by the original vehicle manufacturer and offered for commercial sale to the public in new condition ;
  4. Being street-legal in their intended markets and capable of passing any official tests or inspections required to be granted this status.

    By 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time (3.0 seconds or less)

If an independent time becomes available, that time will be listed over the manufacturer's time regardless if the latter is quicker or slower. Many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to. Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times.
One-foot rollout before the timer starts is industry standard in North America so measurements which exclude the first foot of acceleration are allowed. After Car and Driver switched to one-foot rollout in 2019 they updated some previous times.
