Methodology & Eligibility
- Production-only by default. The canonical ranking counts factory-production vehicles. Use the toggle to include modified / tuner builds.
- One entry per model. Each model is represented by its single fastest verified result — repeated publication tests are collapsed.
- Ranked by 0–60 mph. Lower is faster; ties are broken by the earliest recorded test.
- Verified tests only. Every result comes from an independently published road test in our database.

Common Traits Among the Fastest Cars of 2010's
This group centers on modern, relatively heavy performance cars with broad drivetrain variety. All-wheel drive accounts for 51 percent of the field, rear-wheel drive 30 percent, and front-wheel drive 19 percent. Average output is 365 hp and 366 lb-ft, while average weight is 4049 lb and median weight is 3955 lb.
On a power-to-weight basis, the category averages 90.5 hp per 1000 lb, or 11.1 lb per hp. Forced induction is common but not universal: 51 percent are turbocharged and 33 percent are naturally aspirated. Manuals are a minority at 12 percent, which fits a decade shaped more by launch efficiency than driver-selected shifting.

Why Horsepower Isn't Everything
Horsepower helps, but it does not settle a 0-60 result on its own. This field averages 365 hp, yet its average weight is 4049 lb, so the more useful snapshot is the category-wide 90.5 hp per 1000 lb, or 11.1 lb per hp. That is why two cars with similar output can post very different launch times.
Gearing, tire grip, and traction matter just as much at low speed, especially in a list where AWD makes up 51 percent. A well-geared car with strong traction can convert modest output into a quick start, while a lighter car can do more with less power than raw horsepower alone suggests.

Cars of 2010's by Decade
Within this category, the decade snapshot is clear: the 2010s contain 502 qualifying vehicles and post a median 0-60 mph time of 5.3. That places the center of the field comfortably in modern quick-car territory rather than limiting strong acceleration to only the very top of the ranking.
Because the available decade breakdown here covers only the 2010s, it supports a focused conclusion rather than a cross-era comparison. What it does show is that the decade combined high average output, broad AWD adoption, and increasingly optimized transmissions to pull the median result down to 5.3.

Records & Superlatives
The record holders show how different technical routes arrive at very quick launches. The fastest naturally aspirated entry is the 2018 Lamborghini Huracan at 2.3, the fastest turbocharged is the 2018 Bugatti Chiron at 2.4, and the fastest electric is the 2017 Tesla Model S at 2.28.
By layout and transmission, the fastest AWD and automatic is the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder at 2.2, the quickest rear-wheel-drive car is the 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari at 2.4, the quickest manual is the 2013 Dodge SRT Viper at 3.2, and the fastest front-wheel-drive entry is the 2018 Honda Civic at 4.9. The spread shows how launch traction and transmission strategy shape the first 60 mph.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the quickest car in this 2010s ranking?
The quickest entry is the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.2 seconds. That run comes from the 2015 model year and the Convertible, which sets the benchmark for this 0-60 mph list.
How many vehicles are included, and how wide is the performance range?
This ranking includes 502 qualifying vehicles. Across that full field, times run from the category-leading 2.2 seconds to the slowest qualifying result of 17.6 seconds, which shows how broad 2010s performance was within the same 0-60 mph measure.
What does a typical 2010s car in this ranking run from 0-60 mph?
The middle of the field is represented by a median of 5.3 seconds, while the overall average is 5.5 seconds. Together, those figures give a useful picture of what typical performance looks like across these Cars of 2010's, not just the quickest outliers.
Why are the rankings ordered by 0-60 mph instead of horsepower?
The list is sorted by 0–60 mph because it measures real launch performance directly. Horsepower matters, but traction, gearing, weight, and drivetrain layout can change the result, so the quickest car is the one with the best recorded sprint, not simply the highest output.
What qualifies a car to appear on this page?
A vehicle needs a recorded 0–60 mph result and must belong to the Cars of 2010's group for the 2010s model years covered here. Once it qualifies, it is placed by its measured time, from the quickest result down to 17.6 seconds.
