List of fastest production cars by acceleration

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.

Contents

By 0–100 km/h time or 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) (4.0 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.
