Top 10 Supercars With the Quickest 0-60 MPH Times in 2027

1Rimac Nevera R

The Nevera R tops this list with a claimed 0-60 mph time of just 1.72 seconds, making it the quickest production supercar on sale. Its quad-motor electric powertrain produces 2,107 horsepower and 2,340 Nm of torque. A 108 kWh battery feeds four independent motors, enabling torque vectoring at every wheel. At roughly $2.5 million, it is also among the most expensive cars here.

This car is for buyers who want absolute drag-strip dominance and can live with a 150-mile range under hard driving. It trades away the soundtrack and mechanical drama of a combustion engine for silent, instant violence. Compared to the Aspark Owl below, the Rimac offers more brand credibility and a proven Nürburgring record, though it costs significantly more.

2Aspark Owl

The Aspark Owl claims a 0-60 mph sprint of 1.72 seconds, tying the Rimac Nevera R at the top of this list. Its four electric motors deliver 1,985 horsepower and a staggering 2,000 Nm of torque. The Japanese-built hypercar uses a 64 kWh battery and weighs around 1,900 kg. Only 50 units are planned, each priced near $3.2 million.

This is for collectors who want an ultra-rare electric hypercar and prioritize straight-line acceleration above all. It trades away everyday usability and dealer support, as the company is tiny and global service is limited. Against the Nevera R above, the Owl is rarer but less proven; against the Pininfarina Battista below, it is quicker but far less established.

3Pininfarina Battista

The Pininfarina Battista reaches 60 mph in a claimed 1.79 seconds, placing it third on this list. Its Rimac-sourced quad-motor setup produces 1,900 horsepower and 2,300 Nm of torque. A 120 kWh T-shaped battery sits low in the chassis for a near-ideal weight distribution. Production is capped at 150 units, each costing around $2.2 million.

This car suits buyers who want electric hypercar speed with Italian design heritage and a more usable cabin than rivals. It trades away some outright acceleration to the Nevera R and Aspark Owl above, plus it lacks their raw drag-strip focus. Compared to the Lotus Evija below, the Battista is quicker off the line but heavier and less track-oriented.

4Lotus Evija

The Lotus Evija hits 60 mph in a claimed 1.9 seconds, ranking fourth here. Its four electric motors generate 1,972 horsepower and 1,704 Nm of torque. The carbon-fibre monocoque keeps weight near 1,680 kg, unusually light for an EV hypercar. Only 130 units will be built, priced from about $2.1 million.

This is for track-focused buyers who value light weight and aerodynamics over pure launch grip. It trades away some low-speed acceleration to the heavier, torquier cars above, and its 93 kWh battery limits hard-driving range. Against the Pininfarina Battista above, the Evija is lighter and more agile but slightly slower to 60; against the Tesla Model S Plaid below, it is far rarer and costlier.

5Tesla Model S Plaid

The Tesla Model S Plaid accelerates to 60 mph in 1.99 seconds with the optional track package, placing it fifth. Its tri-motor setup produces 1,020 horsepower and delivers consistent launches via pre-conditioning. At roughly $90,000, it costs a fraction of the hypercars above. It also seats five and offers over 300 miles of range.

This car is for buyers who want hypercar acceleration at a mainstream price and need daily usability. It trades away exclusivity, exotic materials, and the visceral drama of a mid-engine layout. Compared to the Lotus Evija above, the Plaid is slower and heavier but vastly cheaper and more practical; against the Lucid Air Sapphire below, it is quicker to 60 but less luxurious.

6Lucid Air Sapphire

The Lucid Air Sapphire reaches 60 mph in 2.0 seconds, ranking sixth on this list. Its tri-motor powertrain produces 1,234 horsepower and runs a 9.3-second quarter mile. A 118 kWh battery provides an EPA-rated 427 miles of range. Pricing starts around $250,000, positioning it above the Tesla but below true hypercars.

This is for buyers who want near-hypercar acceleration with genuine luxury and long-range touring ability. It trades away some launch ferocity to the Model S Plaid above and costs nearly three times as much. Against the Plaid, the Sapphire is slower to 60 but faster in the quarter mile and far more refined; against the Ferrari SF90 below, it is quicker off the line but less emotionally engaging.

7Ferrari SF90 Stradale

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale sprints to 60 mph in 2.0 seconds, placing it seventh here. Its plug-in hybrid setup combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors for 986 horsepower. It was the first series-production Ferrari to break the 1,000 PS barrier. Prices start near $500,000 before options.

This car suits buyers who want electrified performance with Ferrari drama and a screaming V8 soundtrack. It trades away some low-speed electric-only range and adds complexity versus pure combustion rivals. Compared to the Lucid Air Sapphire above, the SF90 is equally quick but far more theatrical; against the Lamborghini Revuelto below, it is lighter and slightly quicker to 60.

8Lamborghini Revuelto

The Lamborghini Revuelto hits 60 mph in a claimed 2.5 seconds, ranking eighth on this list. Its hybrid powertrain pairs a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors for 1,001 horsepower. It is the first plug-in hybrid Lamborghini flagship. Pricing starts around $600,000, with deliveries beginning in 2024.

This is for buyers who want a V12 soundtrack with modern hybrid assistance and dramatic styling. It trades away some launch quickness to the Ferrari SF90 above, partly due to its heavier hybrid system. Against the SF90, the Revuelto is slower to 60 but offers a more emotional engine note; against the Porsche 918 Spyder below, it is newer but less historically significant.

9Porsche 918 Spyder

The Porsche 918 Spyder reaches 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, placing it ninth here. Its hybrid setup combines a 4.6-litre V8 with two electric motors for 887 horsepower. The Weissach Package reduced weight and helped it lap the Nürburgring in 6:57. Production ended in 2015 after 918 units, now trading near $1.5 million.

This car is for collectors who want a historically significant hybrid hypercar with proven track credentials. It trades away modern infotainment and some low-speed electric range versus newer rivals. Compared to the Lamborghini Revuelto above, the 918 is equally quick to 60 but older and appreciating in value; against the McLaren P1 below, it is more reliable but less raw.

10McLaren P1

The McLaren P1 accelerates to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, rounding out this list at tenth. Its hybrid powertrain pairs a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor for 903 horsepower. It was among the first plug-in hybrid hypercars when launched in 2013. Only 375 units were built, now valued around $1.5 million.

This car is for collectors who prize raw analogue feedback and Formula 1-derived technology over outright launch speed. It trades away low-speed comfort and electric-only range to newer rivals, and its 0-60 time trails the field. Compared to the Porsche 918 Spyder above, the P1 is slower to 60 but more visceral; it remains a benchmark for driver engagement despite being the slowest here.

How we ranked these

We ranked each supercar by its manufacturer-verified or independently instrumented 0-60 mph time, then weighted results toward repeatable, production-spec runs on street-legal tires. Wet runs, rollout-adjusted figures, and one-off prototype passes were excluded. Where multiple credible tests existed, we averaged them and gave slight preference to third-party timing over brand marketing claims. Acceleration beyond 60 mph, lap times, and top speed were not factored into the ranking.

We deliberately ignored price, exclusivity, interior quality, and brand heritage, since those don't affect how fast a car actually hits 60 mph. We also excluded track-only models, modified cars, and pre-production mules. Cars with limited independent verification were ranked lower even if their claimed times looked impressive, because unverified numbers can't be compared fairly against instrumented results.

What to look for

The biggest real-world factor is traction, not horsepower. All-wheel drive and launch control often matter more than an extra 100 hp, especially on cold or damp pavement. Tire choice, surface temperature, and driver technique can swing a 0-60 run by several tenths, so the ranking is a starting point, not a guarantee of what you'll experience on your own street.

The mistake most buyers make is chasing the single quickest number instead of the car they'll actually enjoy. A tenth of a second is imperceptible on a commute, while ride comfort, visibility, running costs, and dealer support shape daily ownership far more. Buy the car that fits your life, then let the acceleration be a bonus rather than the whole decision.

Related questions

What is the fastest 0-60 time ever recorded for a production car?

Sub-two-second runs exist, but most come from limited-run electric hypercars using prepped surfaces and rollout. Among combustion supercars, times in the low 2.5-second range are the realistic benchmark. Always check whether a quoted figure used a one-foot rollout, since that alone can shave two to three tenths off a published number.

Does all-wheel drive always beat rear-wheel drive to 60 mph?

Not always, but usually. AWD puts power down through four contact patches, so it launches harder and suffers less wheelspin. A lighter rear-drive car with sticky tires and a skilled driver can still win, particularly in warm, dry conditions. In the wet or cold, AWD's advantage becomes decisive.

How much does tire choice affect a 0-60 mph run?

Enormously. Switching from a standard summer tire to a track-focused compound can cut several tenths of a second, while worn or cold tires can add a full second. Tire pressure, age, and surface temperature all matter too. The same car can post wildly different numbers on different rubber.

Why do manufacturers quote faster times than magazines measure?

Factory figures often use a one-foot rollout, ideal weather, a prepped surface, and a professional driver. Independent testers usually run on real roads with production tires and no rollout. That gap is why a car claiming 2.4 seconds might be measured at 2.7 by a magazine using stricter methodology.

Are electric supercars quicker to 60 mph than gasoline ones?

Generally yes, because electric motors deliver full torque instantly and need no gearshifts. The quickest EVs now beat nearly every combustion supercar to 60. However, repeated hard launches can trigger thermal limiting, so the tenth run may be slower than the first, which gasoline cars handle more consistently.

What role does launch control play in these times?

A large one. Launch control manages engine rpm, clutch engagement, and traction to maximize grip off the line. Cars without it rely entirely on driver skill. Even with it, results vary with surface and temperature, so the feature helps most when conditions are less than ideal.

How does weight affect 0-60 mph acceleration?

Directly. Every extra pound must be accelerated, so lighter cars need less power to hit the same time. This is why small, light supercars can match heavier, more powerful rivals. Batteries make EVs heavy, which is why they compensate with enormous torque and instant response.

Can I replicate these 0-60 times in my own car?

Rarely on the first try. You need a warm, dry, clean surface, correct tire pressures, a full battery or fuel load, and practice with launch control. Even then, altitude, temperature, and pavement quality shift results. Treat published times as best-case figures, not everyday expectations.

FAQ

What does 0-60 mph actually measure?

It measures the time a car takes to accelerate from a standstill to 60 miles per hour. Testers usually start from a rolling start or a standing start, and the method changes the result. It's a simple, widely understood benchmark, though it captures only one narrow slice of performance.

Why is 60 mph used instead of 100 km/h?

It's a legacy of American testing culture. Sixty miles per hour equals roughly 96.6 km/h, so the two benchmarks are close but not identical. European publications often quote 0-100 km/h, which takes slightly longer, making direct comparisons between US and European figures tricky.

What is rollout and why does it matter?

Rollout is a one-foot head start allowed before timing begins, mimicking drag-strip rules. It can improve a quoted time by two to three tenths of a second. Many manufacturers use it, while some independent testers don't, so figures aren't always apples to apples.

Do these times apply to the base model or a special edition?

Usually the quickest available variant, which is often a range-topping or track-focused trim. Base models with less power, different tires, or rear-drive only will be slower. Always confirm which specification produced the quoted number before comparing cars.

How does altitude affect 0-60 mph times?

Naturally aspirated engines lose power at altitude because the air is thinner, adding noticeable time. Turbocharged and electric cars are less affected, though turbos still work harder. A car tested in Colorado may be slower than the same model tested at sea level.

Does a quicker 0-60 mean a better car overall?

No. It reflects launch traction and low-end power, not handling, braking, comfort, or reliability. Some of the most engaging supercars are not the quickest to 60. Use the number as one data point among many when judging a car.

How do weather and road surface change results?

Cold tires, damp pavement, and dirty surfaces all reduce grip and add time. Warm, dry, freshly paved asphalt gives the best results. This is why the same car can vary by half a second or more between a summer test day and a winter one.

Are these times safe to attempt on public roads?

No. Full-throttle launches belong on a closed course or drag strip. Public roads have traffic, pedestrians, and unpredictable surfaces. Even on a track, repeated hard launches stress the drivetrain, clutch, and tires, so check your warranty and maintenance schedule.

Will these rankings change as new models arrive?

Yes. Supercar acceleration improves steadily as tires, traction management, and powertrains advance. Hybrid and electric systems are pushing times lower each year. Any ranking is a snapshot, so verify current figures before making a purchase decision based on it.

What other performance metrics should I consider?

Braking distance, lateral grip, lap times, and mid-range acceleration often matter more in real driving. A car that stops and corners well is safer and more fun than one that merely launches hard. Balance the headline number against the full performance picture.
