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.
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.
Blue Flame was constructed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by Reaction Dynamics, a company formed by Pete Farnsworth, Ray Dausman and Dick Keller, who had developed the first hydrogen peroxide rocket dragster, [2] called the X-1 and driven by Chuck Suba. [3] The car used a combination of high-test peroxide and liquified natural gas (LNG), pressurized ...
This led to Toyota sending a letter to the owners of the affected car, a 2007 Lexus ES 350, asking that they bring their cars in to switch out the all-weather mats. [47] After this recall, Toyota revised the internal design of its cars to ensure that there was 10 mm (0.39 in) "between a fully depressed gas pedal and the floor", but only ...
Automotive aerodynamics is the study of the aerodynamics of road vehicles. Its main goals are reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds.

It can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.6 seconds and has a top speed limited to 250 km/h (155 mph). The S 63 AMG has an aluminum and steel body with 19" light-alloy multispoke wheels in the front and back, fitted with 255/40 tires in front, and 275/40 tires in the rear, and covered with a high-sheen finish.
The car has a 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time of 2.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h). [80] [81] In a test conducted by Car and Driver, the NSX accelerated from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.1 seconds and completed the quarter-mile run in 11.2 seconds at 126 mph (203 km/h). [82]
