To have a record is an honor and a good advertisement for the automaker. Therefore, many companies are striving to create a sports car that will become the fastest in the world. Of course, the absolute records belong to unique experimental models, but they are inaccessible to consumers. Serial supercars are much more accessible, although some of them stand out as the most affordable.
The fastest cars in the world come in many shapes and sizes. Autocar published The top fastest-accelerating cars in the world 2020.
This list is based on manufacturers’ official claimed times, and only includes production cars. Modified models and track-only machines don’t make the grade. No one-foot rollout acceleration runs, either. To make it into the British magazine’s list, a car must boast a 0-60 mph time below 3.0 seconds.
It's not all about top speed – reaching 60mph in under three seconds is a feat in itself. These are fastest-accelerating road cars in the world (plus some contenders hoping to take the title https://t.co/KYW8YVzsZ9 pic.twitter.com/CeqbXIArxj
