For the purpose of manageability, this list is limited to production cars that have at least 600 kilowatts. Car models with higher-powered variants are listed only in their most powerful incarnation (for example, the Agera RS would be listed in place of the standard Agera, although the Agera makes over 600 kW).
Many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to 60 mph. [ii] [iii] Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times. [3]
