the fastest accelerating cars

Outlandish carbonfibre body, check. 700 hp V12 engine, check. Fourwheel drive, check. It can only be the Lamborghini Aventador, completing the 062 mph (100 km/h) benchmark in a scant 2.7 seconds without a dual clutch gearbox, too.

Despite setting the world acceleration record from zero to 186 mph (0300 km/h), the mad Lotus Exigebased Hennessey Performance Venom GT only stops the clock in 2.7 seconds for the 062 mph (100 km/h) run. Maybe some stickier tyres to cope with those 1,244 rampant American ponies might help lower that?

Bugattis Veyron Super Sport is a phenomenon. Not only can it crush the 062 mph (0100 km/h) dash in 2.5 seconds, thanks to a 1,200hp 8.0litre quadturbo W12 engine yes, read those stats again itll run onto a top speed of 268 mph (430 km/h).

It was the Bugatti which knocked this car the Ultimate Aero SSC off the top spot as the fastest production vehicle in the world, but it couldnt better the 1,305 hp 6.3litre twinturbo V8engined cars 062 mph (0100 km/h) acceleration time.

Caparos T1 is a wonderfully eccentric car and its fully road legal. A 3.5litre racespec V8 means 062 mph (0100 km/h) takes under 2.5 seconds, according to the manufacturer. While its highly rapid and super agile, it might not be all that practical if you need to pop out for a pint of milk. Still?",25.jpg,The Fastest Accelerating Cars 2546,PORSCHE 918 SPYDER 2 Point 5 SECONDS,It might not be the quickest flatout, but the Porsche 918 Spyder is the fastest accelerating entry from the new group of hybrid hypercars for the 062 mph (0100 km/h) sprint anyway. Thats because with an electric motor on the front axle, efourwheel drive gives its great traction off the line. Exactly what you want with 887 hp.

The Ariel Atom is rapid in standard form, as we know. So to endow the featherweight vehicle with a 500 hp V8 made from two Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engines spliced together is plain nuts. Ariel claims a 062 mph (0100 km/h) time of 2.3 seconds. We believe it.
