Which are the supercars with the best acceleration currently?
dont know it you would count this, but the Panoz LMP-1 has outragous acceleration, grip too
but since its a Le Mans Prototype i dont think it counts
pondering things
Street legal? I'm pretty sure the callaway sledgehammer wins there. But straight from the factory? Maybe the Saleen S7 TT model? The ME-412 could get to 60 in first gear around 2.8 sec. so if you are considering concept cars that would win. It all depends.

The fastest time the Dauer 962 LM got was 2.6 seconds. That's street legal.

The Aerial Atom has something in the high 2s I believe.
The Ultima GTR hold the 0-100-0 record surely that means good acceleration

Perhaps a few comparisons will help
Ultima themselves have just equalled the world record of 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds which was set by Chris Allanson on 5th November 2002 at Bruntingthorpe in the Tiger Z 100 WR.
However they went on to set the 0 to 100 to 0 world record which is the industry bench mark for performance cars at 10.3 seconds taking nearly a second off the previous best set by McLarens F1 road car.
The Ultima weighs 990 kilos with power at 640 bhp giving a power to weight ratio of 646 bhp per tonne
Our twin engined car weighs 980 kilos fully built with all fuel water etc on board, the engines give 1000 bhp which equates to a power to weight ratio of 1020 bhp per tonne
This has to be the most powerful road going car in the world plus it has the traction to put this sort of power down to the ground
a little bit of poetic license at the end there
"A woman without curves is like a road without bends, you might get to your destination quicker but the ride is boring as hell'
what about that awesome "street attack" or what ever its called
its got that huuuuuge wing on the back...

It wasnt the road car that set the 0-100-0 record, it was the LM .. but thats road legal anyway. It was Autocar magazine that did it.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine
After more than 10 years... hasn't anyone beat Dauer yet??? 2.6 is pretty fast!
"Religious belief is the “path of least resistance”, says Boyer, while disbelief requires effort."
I'm sure when they test the Ultima with 720bhp that should be able to shave at least 0.1s off the current time of 2.7.
Thanks for all the fish
