Top 10 Fastest Cars by 0-60 mph acceleration times (2016)

The time it takes to accelerate from 0-60 mph/0-97 kmh is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration. Now days performance cars are capable of going from 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds, while exotic cars can do 0-60 mph in between 3 and 4 seconds. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition was, in 2010, the fastest production street legal car to reach 60 mph from a stop, taking about 2.46 seconds. The fastest automobile in 2015 was the Porsche 918 Spyder, which is a hybrid vehicle taking 2.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60. Here in this article Top 10 Fastest Cars by 0-60 mph acceleration times as of 2016 listed, read on:
