Go ahead, Tesla. The Rimac Nevera is the new car to beat after setting the record for the fastest quarter-mile production car in August. Note: Quarter-mile times and trap speed are estimated using our own special formula, which uses several factors, including 100s of officially released automotive statistics, to validate their accuracy. The numbers are an estimate and there are many other factors that affect a quarter of a mile of time. Including tire selection, air and track temperature, gear ratios, response time to name a few. Sometimes you don`t need miles of road to experience the thrill of a very fast car. When you`re behind the wheel of a car that has incredible acceleration power, even short straights can give a driver the time of their life. The short quarter-mile distance has long been the glove used to test a car that claims to be fast, and in the world of production cars, there is an exclusive club of incredibly powerful cars that can cover the quarter mile in ten seconds or less. To achieve this feat and build a car that represents the pinnacle of performance requires the highest level of engineering, skill and resources. The cars that dominate the fastest quarter mile feature the biggest innovations, ranging from 16-cylinder engines to the most advanced hybrid systems to electric powertrains that deliver torque like you`ve never seen before. Since each entry on this list is a 10-second car, all stops must be removed when building the fastest 1/4 mile car. So a 1/4 mile blacktop is between you and what you`re trying to achieve. How to get there? Obviously, a 10-second quarter-mile car is the best solution, but you don`t know the quarter-mile times of the trams from above.

To help you out, here are the top 10 fastest quarter-mile times of production vehicles. As Dominic Toretto said, “I live my life a quarter of a mile at a time. Nothing else. And for those ten seconds or less, I`m free. In terms of drag racing potential, the checkered Model X can cover 1/4 mile in just 9.75 seconds, which is lower than the officially stated performance that beats the $2.5 million Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Of course, we are not talking about a production car. Not at all – the video at the top of this page shows a 28,000-horsepower (20,879-kilowatt) rocket-powered dragster powered by Sammy Miller. If you don`t know his name, he is still the man who holds the record for the fastest quarter-mile race in history at 3.58 seconds, recorded at Santa Pod Raceway in 1984. It wouldn`t be a quarter-mile time list without a bit of classic American speed. The Dodge Challenger Demon 1/4 mile in 9.65 seconds pushes the Challenger to its limits with a virtually frightening 840 hp.

The LT designation carries a lot of McLaren racing heritage, and to live up to that name, the McLaren 765LT 1/4 mile in 9.37 seconds is the proud result of track-focused engineering and plenty of power to the name of 755hp. More than two decades of engineering and research have led to the Bugatti Chiron, one of the greatest automotive achievements of all time, in more ways than one. Although we know it for its incredibly fast top speed, the Bugatti Chiron makes sure not to waste time thanks to its 16-cylinder engine and four turbochargers thanks to its 16-cylinder engine and four turbochargers. In fact, not only can it travel 0-60 in 2.07 seconds as tested by Motor Trend, but it can also travel 1/4 mile in 9.4 seconds with a top speed of 151 miles per hour. Porsche`s fastest car to date is lightning fast under every setting. Independent tests put it at 9.9 seconds for the quarter-mile at 139 mph. Car And Driver doesn`t include a one-foot deployment that takes 0.1 seconds with its ten-second time, but most of our sources take that into account. If you want the 0-60 mph, the 911 Turbo S Lightweight`s 3.7-litre six-cylinder boxer engine and incredibly fast eight-speed dual clutch arrive in just 2.1 seconds. Over a quarter mile, the Porsche is equivalent to the McLaren Senna, but the most telling fact about the Turbo S Lightweight is the speed at which it reaches 30mph. Zero to 30 mph in 0.8 seconds are just bananas.

From a standing start, the Veyron Super Sport managed to cover a 1/4 mile in 9.9 seconds at a top speed of 148.5 miles per hour. Of the 30 cars produced, only five were designated “World Record Edition” because their speed was not electronically limited. The all-electric Tesla Model S Plaid ranks third in the list of fast cars with the fastest acceleration of 1/4 mile, reaching the sprint in just 9.2 seconds. It is powered by three electric motors with a power of 1,020 hp. The Plaid Model S can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.99 seconds. The fastest quarter-mile car you can have is a $2.4 million car, and only if you`re one of the 150 people on the list. If so, you can have an electric car that erases everything on the road straight from the factory. His time of 8.58 seconds is faster than the 8.90 index of the National Hot Rod Association`s Super Comp class cars. During its race at Famoso Raceway in McFarland, California, the Nevera recorded a trap speed of 167.51 miles per hour, from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 1.9 seconds, and that`s also on standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The most powerful of the Holy Trinity, the LaFerrari 1/4 mile in 9.8 seconds, is the result of Ferrari building one of their best cars of all time. By combining a 6.3-liter V12 and electric motors in a revolutionary hybrid system, the car reaches a staggering 950 hp. Acceleration time is one of the best ways to show the performance of sports cars and supercars.

Automakers are constantly pushing the boundaries to first get to the end of the quarter-mile “drag track.” .
