The 1,200+HP preproduction Sapphire is the quickest vehicle we’ve ever tested in the quarter-mile.

. We should probably give honorable mentions to the 2018 McLaren 720S and 2019 McLaren Senna, both of which shot over 1,320 feet in 10.1 seconds.ridiculous

Next car up arrives with an asterisk because why would Ferrari make anything easy? Like the 918 and P1, the third member of the"Holy Trinity"—the 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari—is a hybrid hypercar. One that weighs in at 3,495 pounds and hurls out 950 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. We recorded a 9.7-second quarter-mile blast at 148.5 mph. Why the asterisk? Because Ferrari only let us test the LaFerrari pointing downhill. No, really. On flat ground, the LaFerrari and the P1 would most likely tie.

Did somebody say Tesla? It's time to talk Plaid. Three motors, 1,020 hp, 1,050 lb-ft of torque, and 4,816 pounds of electric fun, Musk's fever dream does the quarter mile in 9.3 seconds at a gargantuan 152.2 mph. That's the quickest we've ever tested. Until now. The Plaid moves a bit quicker on a prepped surface, hitting 60 mph in 1.98 seconds and running the quarter in the same 9.3 seconds with an ever so slightly higher trap speed of 152.6 mph.
