What Is a Production Car?
Production vehicles are mass-produced identical models that are available for sale to the public and are able to be legally driven on public roads. For example, a Jeep Wrangler would be considered a production car, while a Formula 1 car would not. AlansFactoryOutlet.com has created an infographic that ranks the fastest production cars from 40 major manufacturers based on their zero-to-60 acceleration speeds. While most of them are the latest models, there are a few gems from earlier generations that still reign supreme.

What Is the Fastest Production Car in the World?
In terms of top speed obtainable, the fastest street-legal car is believed to be the 1750-HP SSC Tuatara, which is produced by SSC North America. In January 2021 at the Kennedy Space Center’s Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds, the Tuatara broke the production car speed record when it averaged 282.9 miles per hour. The first northbound run hit 279.7 miles per hour, and the southbound run hit 286.1 miles per hour. The runs were completed within an hour of each other, averaging out to the record-breaking 282.9 miles per hour. This incredible speed just barely triumphed over the previous production car speed record of 277.87 mph, which was achieved by the Koenigsegg Agera RS in 2017. Several measuring instruments and expert witnesses were present, such as Racelogic with VBOX equipment, Life Racing, Garmin, and the International Mile Racing Association.
What Is the Fastest 0-60 Car in the World?
The car that can go 0-60 the fastest is the Tesla Model S Plaid. This incredible 1,020-horsepower electric vehicle has achieved 0-60 within 1.99 seconds and can reach a top speed of 200 mph. During Tesla’s “Battery Day” event in September 2020, it crushed a quarter-mile in 9.23 seconds at 155 miles per hour. To complement its phenomenal, cutting-edge speed, this “highest-performing sedan ever built” has a driving range of 520 miles per charge. The Tesla Model S Plaid can now be ordered for $139,990; imagine having one in your garage!
