Delisa’s (2025) website states that the Tesla Model X Plaid has a 0-to-60 time of only 2. Model S Plaid is only 2. That’s a bit faster than the Mustang GT, which “only” does 4. If you take those numbers literally then EVs are indeed changing what is considered fast. It produces 1,020 horsepower, an achievement that places it in supercar territory. The Model S Plaid sprints from a standstill to 60 mph in a scant 1. Tesla claims it’s the quickest-accelerating car in production today. Though the Corvette E-Ray trails the Tesla, it’s no slouch.The Porsche 911 has a faster 0-60 mph time of as little as 2. The Lamborghini Huracan offers a 3-second acceleration to 60 mph in its fastest iteration.
Is a faster 0-60 always better?
Technological differences have also skewed results, so a quick 0-60 time doesn’t always translate into a faster car overall. We still want a simple way to differentiate between fast and slow cars, but modern vehicles are way too complex to be judged solely by their 0-60mph numbers. The slowest car in the world is the Peel P50, manufactured by Peel Engineering. It’s so slow that it has become a part of history.
