What is the fastest 100-meter record for a car?

[OAshlyn]

The fastest 100-meter record for a car is a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2 seconds. The fastest car is the ThrustSSC, designed and built by the British, powered by two fighter jet turbofan engines, specifically designed to break the world land speed record. Maximum speed of a car: The maximum speed refers to the highest driving speed a car can achieve on a well-paved road under windless conditions, where the driving resistance and driving force are balanced. It is one of the three evaluation indicators of a car's dynamic performance. Factors affecting a car's speed: There are many factors that affect a car's maximum speed, such as the power of the engine, the maximum torque of the engine, the speed at maximum torque, the transmission ratio of the drivetrain, and driving resistance. The maximum speed is measured on a flat, windless road with zero acceleration, so the gradient resistance and acceleration resistance are zero. Therefore, the main resistance factors affecting the maximum speed are air resistance and rolling resistance.

I remember the 100-meter acceleration record is now dominated by electric vehicles. Supercars like the Rimac Nevera can push the time under 4 seconds, which is incredibly fast. Acceleration depends on several key factors, such as the instant high torque burst from the electric motor, lightweight body to reduce drag, and sufficient tire grip to prevent skidding at high speeds. As someone who loves tinkering with cars, I've found that electric vehicles are way more powerful than old gasoline cars. In the past, a V8 engine would take 7-8 seconds to cover 100 meters, but with new technology, records are easily broken. However, such extreme speeds require professional tracks—attempting this on regular roads can lead to serious accidents, so don't try it in your neighborhood.

I'm obsessed with car acceleration, especially the 100-meter sprint. I once drove my friend's Tesla Model S Plaid, and it felt like being catapulted—it could cover about 100 meters in less than two seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. The G-force was exhilarating, with the battery delivering full power instantly, unlike gasoline cars that need to wait for the RPM to climb. Young car enthusiasts always chase this thrill, but safety comes first—too much speed can easily lead to loss of control. Nowadays, most electric vehicles can cover 100 meters in five or six seconds, while older models like the Porsche 911 used to take over ten seconds. The progress is staggering. If solid-state batteries become mainstream in the future, records might be shattered again.

From a veteran driver's perspective, the fastest 100-meter car record has been revolutionized by electric vehicles in recent years. I've driven vintage cars from the 1970s that took over 10 seconds for 0-100 acceleration, whereas now the Rimac Nevera can complete 100 meters in about 4 seconds - remarkable progress. Acceleration depends on vehicle weight and horsepower. EVs' lightweight design combined with instant torque makes them far more efficient than gasoline engines. While those supercars pulling off this trick on the road look cool, I'd recommend trying it only in closed circuits - don't take unnecessary risks.
