Legend Puts Together Collection Of 40-80MPH Times To Show True Performance Of Cars

The 0-60mph race going on right now is, dare I say it, outdated? With electric cars storming the gates with their instant torque, it almost seems laughable quite how fast these cars are. But it’s getting very obvious that this measure of performance has its limits. One major limiter is grip, with tyres not being able to withstand the pure power some of these cars can produce. This makes the 0-60mph measurement all a bit silly.

So instead, let’s focus on a much more useful measurement: 40-80mph. Because of the rolling start, tyre grip is less of a factor, and this measurement is actually reflective of what the drivers of these cars will be doing. Not everyone has access to a drag strip where they can perform a standing start to 60, but plenty of people will accelerate onto the motorway from around 40mph.

A few days ago, an absolute legend on Reddit published a list of these stats. Here’s what he had to say:

Being frustrated by the abundance of 0-60 and 1/4 mile times led me to compile a list of 40-80 MPH times, which are more indicative of real-world acceleration (such as when overtaking). All of the figures are from my own collection of printed Car & Driver and Motortrend magazines. I simply subtracted the published 0-40 time from the 0-80, as performed during the same quarter-mile run. The biggest shortcoming is that I stupidly didn’t denote manual or automatic transmissions.

The McLaren P1 takes top spot out of this selection, and is faster than the LaFerrari and Porsche 918. The first electric car to breach this list is the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, with a 40-80mph of 2.4 seconds. The Tesla Model S P100D sits further down the list with a tenth of a second on top of that.

Obviously, not every car is included on this list so it’s very difficult to compare honestly, but is there anything weird that jumps out? Well, electric cars are certainly further down with hybrid hypercars instead sitting pretty at the top.

It seems as though the best of both worlds is the key to producing the highest performing car. Surprised? Not really. But still bloody interesting!
