How It Works

0-60 MPH time is the most common measure of vehicle acceleration. It depends primarily on power-to-weight ratio, traction (drivetrain type), and transmission gearing. AWD vehicles launch faster because all four wheels deliver power. Every 100 lbs removed is roughly equivalent to adding 5-10 HP. Professional test times are achieved on prepped surfaces with optimal launch technique — real-world times are typically 0.3-0.5 seconds slower.
