13 Vehicles That Go From 0 to 60 in Under 2.5 Seconds

6. Porsche 918

The second Porsche on this list has little in common with the 911 Turbo S featured earlier. They presented the Porsche 918 hypercar in 2013. It was the Porsche from the future with a hybrid powertrain consisting of 4.6-liter V8 gasoline and four electric motors, or two on each axle.

The combined output is 887 HP and 940 lb-ft of torque. Among the three hypercars they presented at the same time, the McLaren P1, the Ferrari LaFerrari and the 918, the Porsche is the fastest. It is also the most successful in terms of sales because Porsche produced 918 vehicles.

Like the 911 Turbo S, its factory specs are conservative, stating the new 918 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. However, numerous independent testers got even better results. The best so far is 2.2 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. This is even better than the Tesla Model S P1000D.
