Lucid, Porsche and Mercedes-AMG reported the fastest 0–100 km/h times for 2025 production cars. Explore which models lead and why they matter.

In 2025, high-performance production cars are no longer defined by concepts or limited experiments. Extreme acceleration figures are now delivered by models that can be officially ordered, marking a new phase in the performance car market.

The benchmark for straight-line performance is set by the Lucid Air Sapphire. Equipped with a three-motor electric powertrain producing 1,251 horsepower, the Sapphire accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.0 seconds. In 2025, Lucid confirmed the start of European deliveries, turning the Sapphire into a genuinely purchasable option rather than a niche showcase. Notably, this level of performance is combined with a WLTP range of up to 694 km.

Close behind is the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package. This lightweight, track-focused version reaches 100 km/h in 2.2 seconds using Launch Control. Porsche highlights that the Weissach Package is key to achieving this figure, positioning the Turbo GT as the most dynamically capable production Porsche to date. Updated 2025 materials also underline fast-charging capability and a clear emphasis on circuit-ready performance.

Completing the top three is the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE 4-Door Coupé. Officially rated at 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, independent testing in 2025 recorded an even quicker 2.79-second run. Unlike its rivals, this AMG blends extreme acceleration with the practicality of a four-door body and a performance-oriented hybrid system.

Together, these three models illustrate how the line between hypercars and road-legal production vehicles continues to blur in 2025. Electric powertrains set new benchmarks, while established performance brands respond with hybrid systems and lightweight engineering, offering distinct interpretations of speed for a rapidly evolving market.
