0-60 in 2.7 seconds, but in Summer 2010 they're bringing out the Atom Oblivion which will go from 0-60 in 2.3 seconds. And it's road legal!

Any halfway decent motorbike can beat that

But a motorbike is not an automobile.
And the Nissan GT-R is NOT a light vehicle.

Buggatti Veyron does 0-62 in 2.5 seconds. And that is also not a light vehicle.

An F1 car can do 0-60 in just a little over a second. And most of that time is traction limited. Could do it in less than 1 second if they could put the power down fully.
Oh right family cars. Or yeah in that 2.5 seconds it'll be doing over 100mph. Oh sorry again.

The Bugatti need almost three times the motor for just a few tenths quicker. But it is
much
heavier, and way more comfortable I'm sure.
Imagine what kind of power plant you'd need to get the time down to 2.0 !

That is a con. 0 to 62 mph. Why 62 mph when the industry standard is 60 mph. Because if it was 60 mph you would not have a nice round 2.5 seconds and it would appear "slow".

Power is not the answer. Weight and traction is the secret weapon. The Ariel Atom is a good example with only a 2 litre engine and 245 BHP.

Ah but thanks to the metric loving europeans, 0-62 is becoming standard because they work on 0-100km/h
