“New Tesla Model S Now the Quickest Production Car in the World” – Tesla

Fastest, quickest? – Yes, the Tesla Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode is the the quickest car 0-60 mph (2.5 sec) you can buy. Or 0-100 kph for that matter. And the quickest 4 door sedan 0-60 mph ever. Anything quicker was a limited run, two door, with token luggage space, no longer available new, & almost impossible to buy second hand. New or used, price was/is several times the price of a Model S.

And the Model X P100D Ludicrous is the world's quickest SUV 0-60 mph ever.
