10 fastest accelerating cars in the world

This is a slightly different list from the fastest cars in the world. It tells you about a different characteristics of the car. Here we talk about set of wheels that are quickest off the grid to the 100 kmph mark. We might not see them on India roads everyday, but some of these cars are available in India as well.The list includes cars whose 0-100 kmph figures have been provided by the car manufacturers themselves.
In Porsche 918 spyder, we have a hybrid amidst us. The strong naturally aspirated car is complemented by two electric motors that together produce 887 hp. Second on podium, 918 Spyder crosses the mark in just 2.6 seconds
Buggati has won the title of the fastest car in the world, but here it will have to content with a second position tie with Porsche 918 Spyder at 2.6 seconds.
SSC ultimate Aero too has been touted as among the fastest cars of all times. With a whooping 1287 bhp available for use, the American hypercar touches 100 kmph from a standstill in just 2.78 seconds
The company calls it one of a kind, and you realise why they do so when you look at it. It has a design that is completly different from any of the cars in the list. What is suprising is that the car was able to make the cut with an engine that produces a max of just 280bhp and a max torque of 280 Nm. Taking just .02 seconds more than the Ultimate Aero, it reaches 100 kmph in just 2.8 seconds.
It is the first super car to be produced in Middle East and at US$ 3.4 million, it is the third most expensive car ever to be made. With 0 to 100 reading of 2.8 seconds and just 7 units to be made, Lykan Hypersport is not only tough catch but a tough buy as well.
McLaren P1 has proved to be a worthy succcessor to the McLaren F1, which was the fastest production car in the world when it was launched in 1993. The hybrid sportscar has bettered the 0-100 kmph mark of the F1 by .4 seconds to achieve the feat in 2.8 seconds.
The first Italian entry into the list is the Lamborghini Aventador. Powered by V12, 700 bhp engine, Aventador is eigth in the list with 2.9 seconds to the 100 kmph mark.
Ferrari claims that La Ferrari achieves the most extreme performance ever achieves by a Ferrari production car. The 6.3 litre V12 produces 789 bhp @ 9000 rpm and 700 Nm @ 6,750 rpm. Add another 161 bhp from the hybrid system La Ferrari has, and the car breaches the 100 kmph mark in less than 3 seconds.
Last in the list, but not slow by any means. Porsche 911 Turbo S produces 560 hp at 6,500 rpm which gives it a top speed of 318 kmph and at 3.1 seconds, Porsche 911 turbo is just .6 seconds behind the leader.
