Here's a breakdown:
Fastest in terms of top speed:
* SSC Tuatara: Currently holds the official Guinness World Record for fastest production car with a top speed of 532.93 km/h (331.15 mph)
Fastest in terms of acceleration:
* Tesla Model S Plaid: Holds the record for the fastest 0-60 mph acceleration time of 1.99 seconds.
Fastest in terms of lap time:
* Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo: Holds the record for the fastest lap time on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, with a time of 5:19.55.
Other considerations:
* Hypercars: Vehicles like the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ and Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut also boast incredibly high top speeds.
* Electric vehicles: While not currently topping the top speed charts, electric vehicles are rapidly catching up in acceleration due to their instant torque delivery.
Ultimately, the "fastest car" depends on what criteria you're using to define "fastest."
