Frequently Asked Questions
How is 0-60 time estimated from horsepower and weight?
The most common empirical formula uses the power-to-weight ratio (weight / HP) raised to an exponent (approximately 0.75) multiplied by a drivetrain constant. AWD cars tend to be faster due to better traction off the line.
What is a good 0-60 time?
An average sedan does 0-60 in about 7-8 seconds. Sports cars range from 3-5 seconds. Supercars and high-end EVs can achieve under 3 seconds. Economy cars may take 9-11 seconds.
