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.
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 roof can raise or lower at up to 50 km/h (31 mph) and the operation lasts 6.8 seconds, which Aston Martin claims makes it the fastest roof mechanism available. The Vantage Roadster can accelerate from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.5 seconds, and retains the coupe's top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). [65] [66]
[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 ]
At the time, NHTSA was investigating 50 car models from 20 manufacturers for sudden surges of power. [ 40 ] 60 Minutes aired a report titled "Out of Control" on November 23, 1986, [ 41 ] featuring interviews with six people who had sued Audi after reporting unintended acceleration, including footage of an Audi 5000 ostensibly displaying a surge ...
They were car numbers 30 to 35, and 39. One of these, number 35, was a chassis only and sold to Oscar Henschel in Germany. Henschel's car was used by Hermann Göring and believed destroyed during the war. [15] The car bodies were otherwise sedans or phaetons. The last F car number 39 was owned by Warren Doble. Engine number 32 was fitted into a ...
This first Formula E car had a power of at least 190 kilowatts (250 hp). The car was able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3 seconds, with a maximum speed of 225 km/h (140 mph). [37] The generators used to re-charge the batteries are powered by glycerine, a by-product of bio-diesel production. [38]
