Acceleration is undoubtedly one of the most exciting factors that a car brings. Here we would like to make it clear that the fastest car and the quickest car are two different terminologies. Fastest refers to the acceleration of the car, and quickest refers to the maximum speed of the car. In the last decade, many cars have been launched with the capability to deliver 0-60 under 3 seconds. In fact, this time has become almost commonplace, especially when it comes to the uppermost echelon of the fastest accelerating cars in the world. 0-60 is known as the gold standard the car manufacturing companies use to measure the performance of their cars.

It’s important to note that achieving the maximum top speed is easier than achieving the quickest acceleration. That’s because a huge engine plays the most important role when it comes to top speed. On the other hand, maximizing traction and putting the power down immediately is hard. Automotive engineers and experts constantly work on advanced electronics, lightweight materials, tire compounds, and high-performance technologies to achieve faster acceleration than ever.

Here we’ve gathered together the 25 fastest 0-60 production cars of all time. Keep in mind that our list of the fastest 0-60 cars is exclusive to street-legal cars, which are also considered production vehicles.

For the November 2021 issue, the cover car is the Bugatti Bolide, the ultimate track weapon. The Bolide combines hyper sports car performance with a Formula 1-esque design in one uncompromising, innovative package. Development of the Bolide started from the same place as all other Bugatti models: Ettore Bugatti’s philosophy “form follows performance” and a look back at the brand’s outstanding motorsport history over the past century. In order to develop the most extreme Bugatti yet, Bugatti designers and engineers focused on a minimalist approach to achieve a lightweight body with extraordinary aerodynamics.

No-Reserve Auction October 31

Milam Castle awaits for you to make your own personal fairytale come true with its enchanting charm. Built in the Tudor-style of Old England, this luxury manor is in a class all by itself and ideally perched on five acres in Oklahoma City. The estate delivers unlimited potential, combining an opulent environment, top-of-the-line high-tech features, extravagant air-conditioned garage facilities, spacious banquet room plus so many warm indulgences that make this estate have just the right mixture for a truly magical destination to live, work and play. Hosting private concerts, special occasions, corporate office events, and holiday gatherings just became effortless. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to own at YOUR price!

Southern hospitality, flawless location and unsurpassed beauty make Milam Castle a once upon a dream come true! Join the number of rich and famous who have called Oklahoma home, including country music icon, Garth Brooks, actors, James Garner and Ron Howard, baseball legend, Mickey Mantle, and astronaut, Shannon Lucid.

Oklahoma City (OKC) welcomes you to the capital of Oklahoma. With its rugged Western past, working stockyards and title as “Horse Show Capital of the World,” its rich in cowboy culture, as well as being known for family fun, romantic retreats and outdoor adventures. OKC was named as one of the 50 Best Places to Travel in 2020 by Travel + Leisure due to its culture, cuisine, attractions, amenities and home to one of the fastest growing entertainment districts in the U.S. — serving up unlimited action in the city’s downtown Bricktown Entertainment District.

Nestled within the Great Plains region, Oklahoma City boasts being home to a number of Fortune 500 companies, as well as being the eighth-largest city within the United States and one of the largest livestock markets in the world. OKC has plenty of hustle without the hassle.

If you select Oklahoma as your destination of choice to enjoy all that life has to offer, your own happy ending will be written when Milam Castle becomes your home.


MacDonald Highlands is known for its sweeping mountainside views of Las Vegas and Henderson, but few homes in the guard-gated community take advantage of the elevated topography quite like the residence of Mike and Linda Huhn on Dragon Ridge Drive. Designed and built by Blue Heron, the estate welcomes guests with a twisting driveway that passes between three separate structures that together form a bold and striking desert compound, mixing all the elements desired for a luxury lifestyle.

“You can look up to the hills and see this home, so we wanted something that appeared iconic and strong from a distance,” says Blue Heron founder Tyler Jones. “We could’ve combined all the spaces into one big structure, but by breaking into three components, you’re surrounded by interesting forms and shapes.”

An elevator travels between the four floors of the main living quarters with the words PLAY, EAT, SLEEP and VIEW in place of numerals on the buttons. It’s a fun modification that represents the broad purposes of different spaces, yet the home carries subtle complexities beneath its sleek ultra-modern design. “There are steel louvers that are unique to this project,” says Jones. “The glass is very specific. There’s a staircase designed just for this home with an interesting steel mesh. There are a lot of wood tones and organic materials.”


A magnificent home of timeless elegance and quality, paired with a gorgeously secluded property, rare even for New Canaan. Extensively updated to near-new status, soaring 10-foot ceilings, oversized French doors and windows, sun-drenched huge rooms and innumerable details of exquisite craftsmanship and superior construction. Multiple amazing outdoor settings, 47-foot veranda, sweeping lawns, naturally concealed pool area and even a hidden campground/walking trails assure your stress-free lifestyle.


Wright’s FINAL DESIGN in Phoenix: The Circular Sun House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright – Norman Lyke’s House, was built in 1967. Designed to blend in with the curves of the surrounding desert mountain, this iconic masterpiece was the last home designed by Wright and one of only 14 circular homes. Overlapping concentric circles create a floor plan that flows seamlessly from one room to another, while every room takes in unobstructed majestic views. Sprawling entertaining spaces flow outside to ample patios and a crescent-shaped pool.
