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. Present production model performance cars are often capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, while some sports cars and electric vehicles can do 0 to 60 mph in between 2 and 3 seconds. Motorcycles have been able to achieve these figures with sub-500cc since the 1990s.
