What production cars go 0-60 in 5 seconds or less?

Many production cars can go 0-60 mph in 5 seconds or less. The exact list changes frequently as new models are released and testing methods vary slightly between publications. However, here are some examples of car brands and models known for having this capability (keep in mind this is NOT an exhaustive list and specific trims/options may impact performance):

* Tesla: Most Tesla models, especially the Performance versions, routinely achieve sub-5-second 0-60 times.

* Porsche: Many Porsche models, particularly the 911 range (especially Turbo and GT models) and Taycan electric models, fall into this category.

* Audi: High-performance Audi models like the RS models (RS6, RS7, RS Q8, etc.) often boast sub-5-second acceleration.

* BMW: BMW's M series (M3, M4, M5, etc.) and some high-performance versions of other models frequently meet this benchmark.

* Mercedes-AMG: Similar to BMW's M series, AMG performance models from Mercedes-Benz (e.g., C63 AMG, E63 AMG, GT series) are often in the sub-5-second range.

* Dodge/Challenger/Charger Hellcat/Demon: These muscle cars are renowned for their incredible acceleration.

* Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: This muscle car is a contender for sub-5-second 0-60 times.

* Rivian R1T/R1S: These electric trucks and SUVs can achieve sub-5-second acceleration.

* Lucid Air: This electric sedan boasts impressive acceleration figures.

To get the most up-to-date and precise 0-60 times for specific models and trims, you should consult reputable automotive publications like Car and Driver, MotorTrend, or Edmunds. They perform independent testing and publish detailed specifications. Remember that factors like tire condition, weather, and driver skill can also affect the results.
