Despite supercar manufacturers trying to perfect their combustion engines' performance potential, most of them still have troubles catching up to a Tesla. Updated May 2022: The combustion engine as we know it might be close to extinction. Whereas insane top speeds and lightning-quick Nurburgring lap times are hard to replicate or achieve in practice, a simple drag race between traffic lights is all it takes to settle which is quickest to 60 mph. In-gear acceleration, quarter-mile sprints, and overall lap times both give a more rounded view of a fast car’s capabilities, but a car that can smash to 60 mph in record time is still going to get a lot of attention.
Yet, this flawed metric remains the one most people end up using.
When it comes to comparing the performance capabilities of the world’s fastest cars, there are many better ways to do it than just looking at their 0-60 mph times.
