13 Fastest ICE Production Car Zero-To-Sixty Times

Production cars are vehicles built for retail sale to consumers, so we’ll allow limited edition supercars on this list.

To avoid confusion, exaggerated manufacturer claims, and inconsistencies, we’ve used 0-60 mph test results from independent companies, such as MotorTrend, Car & Driver, Road & Track, etc.

Whenever multiple trim levels of the same car should appear on the list, we left out the slower version in favor of other cars.

2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 — 0-60 Mph: 1.66 Seconds

Let’s just start with the insanity that is the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. With a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 that pumps out an astonishing 1,025 hp on E85 fuel, it’s an absolute beast!

It’s the fastest-accelerating production car in the world, reaching 60 mph in 1.66 seconds and running a quarter-mile in 8.91 seconds. In fact, it’s so fast that the NHRA banned it since it doesn’t have a roll cage or parachute. It also has the highest launch force of any production car ever, pushing 2.004 G’s when the lights turn green.

2020 Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) — 0-60 Mph: 2.1 Seconds

In 2019, Porsche released the current 992 version of the legendary 911, and in Turbo S spec, it was faster than ever. Propelled by a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-6 engine, the Turbo S is rated at 641hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.

Officially, Porsche says the 992 Turbo S will reach 62 mph in 2.4 seconds, but Car and Driver tested the Lightweight model and pushed that time down to 2.1 seconds. That’s hypercar quick! It has also lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:17.3 minutes, making it the fastest road-legal production car without semi-slick tires.

2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante — 0-60 Mph: 2.2 Seconds

When the “regular” Lamborghini Huracán isn’t fast enough, it’s nice to know that Lamborghini offered a more track-oriented version — the Huracán Performante. It featured new aero and bumpers, lost 88 lbs, and had various other improvements.Behind the driver, there was a 5.2-liter V10 producing 631hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. Lamborghini said it would accelerate to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, but in independent tests, it reached 60 mph in 2.2 seconds.

2021 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport — 0-60 Mph: 2.2 Seconds

You’ll need deep pockets to get your hands on a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Bugatti began delivering the first of these limited edition cars in 2022, at a net price around $3.5 million each. That money did buy some serious performance, though.

With a quad-turbocharged W16 engine producing 1,580hp, it would reach 60 mph in 2.2 seconds, and kept going until the speedometer stopped at its limited top speed of 273 mph.

2005 Bugatti Veyron — 0-60 Mph: 2.4 Seconds

In 2005, Bugatti changed the automotive world when the Veyron was launched. The French hypercar offered plenty of luxury along with performance that made anything else on the market seem slow.

The original Bugatti Veyron had 987 horsepower and a top speed of 253 mph, but the Super Sport smashed that record when it reached 267.856 mph. Car and Driver got the standard Veyron to 60 mph from a standstill in just 2.4 seconds.

2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo — 0-60 Mph: 2.48 Seconds

Nissan introduced the GT-R in 2007, and it’s still around today, although it has received some updates along the way. When it first arrived, it had blistering performance, and it’s only gotten better with time.

In 2020, its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine produced 562hp and 467 lb-ft of torque. It also had a remapped transmission that would shift faster, smoother, and quieter than ever before. That meant the GT-R could now reach 60 mph in just 2.48 seconds, and it kept going until the needle pointed at 205 mph.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S (991 & 991.2) — 0-60 Mph: 2.5 Seconds

Porsche introduced the 991 Turbo S in 2013 as an upgraded version of the standard Turbo model. Its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine churns out 552 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, compared to the regular Turbo’s 513 hp and 457 lb-ft. It even has an overboost function that pushes the torque figure up to 553 lb-ft.

All this power means the 991 Turbo S can reach 62 mph just 2.9 seconds, but some car magazines claim they managed to do it in as little as 2.6 seconds.

2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991) — 0-60 Mph: 2.5 Seconds

The Porsche 991 GT2 RS was developed specifically to smash lap records, so it’s no surprise that it’s rather quick off the line.

There’s a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine stuffed in its rear, producing an astonishing 690 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. With a power-to-weight ratio of 4.63 lbs per hp, it was the most powerful 911 ever and would sprint to 62 mph in 6.8 seconds. With Lars Kern behind the wheel, it even flew around the Nürburgring in 6 minutes 43.3 seconds, which was a new record for road-legal production cars.

2018 McLaren 720S — 0-60 Mph: 2.5 Seconds

The McLaren 720S may just be the best road-focused supercar you can buy right now. Built for the road rather than the track, it has less downforce than the McLaren 765LT, giving it a higher top speed for less money. What’s not to love about that?!

Speaking of performance, the 720S has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that sends 710 hp to the wheels. During independent tests, the 720S sprinted to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, which was 0.3 seconds faster than the manufacturer’s claims.

2019 BMW M8 Competition — 0-60 Mph: 2.5 Seconds

The BMW M8 Competition is one of the most impressive cars to ever emerge from Bavaria. The regular M8 is a proper highway-devouring monster, but it’s even better with the Competition Package.

This is the ultimate performance version of this luxury flagship model. The 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine now produces 617 horsepower, which is sent to all four wheels via the 8-speed automatic gearbox. It explodes off the line and reaches 60 mph a mere 2.5 seconds after the pedal is floored.

2019 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ — 0-60 Mph: 2.5 Seconds

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ was unveiled in 2018 as a more track-focused model. Like the rest of the Aventador lineup, there’s a 6.5-liter V12 engine behind the driver, but it was reworked to produce an astonishing 759 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque.

Thanks to extensive use of titanium and carbon fiber, the Aventador SVJ only weighs 3,362 lbs, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5 hp/kg. Official numbers suggest that it should take 2.8 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill, but MotorTrend got that down to just 2.5.

2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus — 0-60 Mph: 2.6 Seconds

Audi’s second-gen R8 V10 is built on the same platform as the Lamborghini Huracán and shares its V10 engine. The V10 Plus has a 602 hp, nearly 80 horses more than the standard model, and its body is lighter and stiffer as many of the bigger aluminum parts have been swapped with carbon fiber.

It sends the power to all four wheels via a 7-speed S-Tronic transmission and Quattro AWD system, but with a slight rear-wheel bias. The 0 to 60 mph sprint is dealt with in 2.6 seconds, and those brave enough can see the speedometer needle hit 205 mph.

2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 — 0-60 Mph: 2.6 Seconds

Chevrolet unveiled the Corvette Z06 in 2021 and launched it as a 2023 model. In true Corvette form, it’s offered in multiple trim levels and with an optional Performance Package.

The mid-engined Corvette is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter LT6, flat-plane crank V8 generating 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. It has the same 8-speed dual-clutch transmission as the Stingray, but with a shorter final drive ratio to improve acceleration. Push the pedal to the floor, and 60 mph comes up in 2.6 seconds.
