that list needs a little bit of updating. from what i know, the fastest accelerating production car is the Ford RS200 2.1L Cosworth, which did 0-60mph/97km/h in 3.02 seconds. ive seen tons of cars get faster but they were either aftermarket or prototypes.

The Murcielago should be on the list, as well as the Veyron.
The Murcielago hits 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds. Car and Driver tested one that hit 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds!

dont you think that its weird, that italy's top engineers and test drivers can list times for their cars, but when american journalists get their hands on the cars they shave tenths of a second off that? ive heard people quoting 3.3 seconds 0-100km/h for the new ford GT and although im glad its that fast, i think its rediculous when it wasnt that long ago someone only got 3.8 which is still blindingly fast

Its a 572cu.in. 770hp concept car, so I don't think it should be considered ... then again no body said the cars had to be production cars so you could add the Dodge Tomahawk onto the list too.

and also, the VW W12 wasn't on the list, why? it goes to 60 in 3.4 seconds.
and something that's funny is, this Mercedes can go faster than most supercars of today and it was built in 1938.

1. The first on that list is a Dauer/Porsche, not a Bugatti.

2. We're talking about production cars here, so that Camaro is off the list.


Currently, the record for fastest-accelerating production car (at least from 0-60) is the Tiger Z100 WR, at 2.8 seconds. That, too, is using road-legal tires! Nice...

Did I mention that it weights 660kg, and has 360hp?

i know..thats why you can't comment on a car performance, just by getting its engine information or weight .... coz it could be sumthin about it we can't see...i hope you follow me...
