  • It needs additional citations for verification. Tagged since August 2011.
  • It relies on references to primary sources or sources affiliated with the subject, rather than references from independent authors and third-party publications. Tagged since August 2011.
  • It may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Tagged since August 2011.
  • Its factual accuracy is disputed. Tagged since August 2011.

The widely varying testing methodologies mean that, even between identical cars, the acceleration times vary. Some of these differences include: driver/rider, payload, track surface conditions, weather/air temperature and launching technique.

[edit] By 0–100 km/h time or 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) (3.5 seconds or less)

This list includes full production cars only: concept, modified and "one-off" cars of any kind are not considered. If an independent time becomes available, that time will be listed over the manufacturer's time regardless if the latter is quicker.

For comparison, an object in free fall (without any air resistance) accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 2.83 seconds and from 0–60 mph in 2.73 seconds.

Italics indicates manufacturer's claim or estimate as opposed recorded by a reliable third party source.

[edit] Notes

  • ^ European manufacturers quote 0–100 km/h (62 mph) whereas U.S. manufacturers quote 0–60 mph (97 km/h). This leads to discrepancies in comparisons.
  • ^ Fastest of manufacturer and independently verified times
  • ^ Verified independently
  • ^ Claimed/estimated time by manufacturer; no source given if equal to independently verified time
