The time it takes a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h or 27 m/s), often said as just "zero to sixty" or "nought to sixty", is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used.
The Rimac Concept One, sometimes stylized as Concept_One, is a two-seat high-performance electric car designed and manufactured in Croatia by Rimac Automobili.With a total output of 913 kW (1,241 PS; 1,224 hp) and an acceleration time from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, [5] the Rimac Concept One was claimed to be the world's fastest accelerating electric vehicle in 2013.
It has been claimed that the Owl can accelerate from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) in 1.72 seconds, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 1.9 seconds, 0-186 mph (300 km/h) in 10.6 seconds, and can attain a top speed of 413 km/h (257 mph), which would make it the fastest accelerating production car in the world.
Bernard was able to slow the car down to 50–60 mph (80–97 km/h) with the brakes, but was only able to bring the car to a complete stop after putting the car in neutral. [ 50 ] After this incident, Toyota conducted seven recalls related to unintended acceleration from September 2009 to March 2010.
The Chiron can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.4 seconds according to the manufacturer, 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 6.5 seconds and 0–300 km/h (0–186 mph) in 13.6 seconds. In a world-record-setting test at the time in 2017, the Chiron reached 400 km/h (249 mph) in 32.6 seconds, after which it needed 9.4 seconds to brake to ...
[68] [69] This enables a modern F1 car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 1.8 seconds, and from 0 to 100 mph (0 to 161 km/h) in 2.6 seconds. [70] It has a power-to-weight ratio of 1,297 hp / t , which would theoretically allow the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than a second. [ 71 ]
By 0–60 mph (97 km/h) (less than 3.0 s) [ edit ] Many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to 60 mph. [ ii ] [ iii ] Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times. [ 3 ]
The venue chosen for high speed testing and for the land speed record runs was Hakskeen Pan in the Mier area of the Northern Cape, South Africa, on a track measuring 12 miles (19 km) long. The local community cleared 16,500 tonnes of stones by hand from an area measuring 22 million square metres to create space for 20 tracks each 10 metres wide ...
