What is the fastest Porsche 0-60 time?
My brother and I recently went to a car show and got into an argument about which Porsche is the fastest. Settle it for us: what Porsche has the fastest 0 to 60 time?

It’s great to hear that you and your brother share a passion—just don’t let a small disagreement get in the way of your relationship. To settle the matter for the two of you, the 918 Spyder is the fastest Porsche on record with a 0 to 60 acceleration time of 2.2 seconds. Of course, that may not have been anyone’s first guess because a car’s acceleration time depends on several things:
- Profile—Slim cars have less air resistance to contend with, so that’s why the fastest vehicles have such small profiles.
- **Weight**—Before a car can begin picking up speed, it needs to overcome the weight of the vehicle to get it going. You can see this in cars with a focus on speed because they’ll have extremely minimalistic interiors.
- Power—You won’t be going anywhere without an engine behind you, but fast cars have to strike the perfect balance between the weight and the level of power they can generate.
Hopefully, this will give you a better understanding of the factors at play when discussing the speed potential of a car. Of course, all that speed can land you a ticket if you’re putting your car through its paces on a public road. When that happens, don’t settle for increased insurance rates—just get
