Today I stumbled upon this video of a fully electric, Croatian-made Rimac Concept One vs a Tesla Model S P90D vs a LaFerrari. The Rimac Concept One destroys everything.

The Bugatti folks might have a legitimate beef, but I don't think it makes sense to count the unpurchaseable Porsche models as 'production cars'.

The 918 is unpurchaseable, but you can walk into any Porsche dealer and buy a 911 Turbo S for ~$190k that'll do 0-60 in 2.5s.

We're picking nits, so I'm going to point out that Porsche claims the 911 Turbo S that they sell today does 0-60 in 2.8s, slower than you're suggesting.

I don't have firsthand knowledge to be able to say which of you is wrong.

Porsche is conservative with their reported 0-60 numbers. People that have tested it are able to get 2.5s. Look at the first two columns of times in the table here:

Rollout can account for 0.1 or 0.2 of a second, and that table kind of hand-waves it away: "Some measurements exclude the first foot-rollout."

Do you have the data for acceleration past 100MPH? The cars you listed really come to life after a 100MPH and it would be an interesting comparison.

0-60 and 1/4 mile times here:

Thanks. The 2016 model has has a quarter mile time of 10.8 sec @ 121.99 mph. Not bad. Should dip into the 10.5 with grippy tyres. I wish they offered an additional overdrive gear to see if they would get to 200MPH. I don't know if they can handle the aero but they sure have the power.

I think that you can have these speeds with Bugatti and Porsche only if you are a good pilot. With tesla, you can do it if you have a foot.

The Porsche has launch control, so there's really no skill involved for a 0-60 run.

There's a video on youtube of a guy doing it without his hands on the wheel, repeatedly (to show off the durability of the 911's transaxle, I believe, as compared to the GT-R which tended to blow up in the early models). That tech is pretty remarkable.

Are any of the faster cars still in production?
