The kilometre, a unit of length, first appeared in English in 1810, [9] and the compound unit of speed "kilometers per hour" was in use in the US by 1866. [10] "Kilometres per hour" did not begin to be abbreviated in print until many years later, with several different abbreviations existing near-contemporaneously.
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.
A Suzuki GSX-R1000 at a drag strip – a 2006 model once recorded a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.35 seconds. This is a list of street legal production motorcycles ranked by acceleration from a standing start, limited to 0 to 60 mph times of under 3.5 seconds, and 1 ⁄ 4-mile times of under 12 seconds.
<10 mph (16 km/h) not allowed: Class 1: 10 mph (16 km/h) 15 mph (24 km/h) Much yard, branch line, short line, and industrial spur trackage falls into this category. Class 2: 25 mph (40 km/h) 30 mph (48 km/h) Branch lines, secondary main lines, many regional railroads, and some tourist operations frequently fall into this class.

Uncrewed torpedo speed claims range from 60 knots (110 km/h; 69 mph) for the British Spearfish torpedo [64] to 200 knots (370 km/h; 230 mph) for the Russian VA-111 Shkval.

Pronghorns can reach a top speed of 60 mph (97 km/h) in good conditions, and a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) normally. [60] They can reach speeds of 72 km/h (45 mph) in a 2–3 km course. [ 63 ] Estimated by observing the odometer when the animal ran at its maximum speed, alongside a vehicle.
