0-100 km/h Estimator
Estimate 0-100 km/h acceleration time from vehicle weight and horsepower.
How fast can a car accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph)? While many factors influence acceleration — tire grip, gearing, drivetrain losses, aerodynamics — the two most important are weight and power.
This estimator uses an empirical formula based on the power-to-weight ratio. The result is an approximation and real-world times may differ by 1–3 seconds depending on traction, transmission type, and launch technique.
Performance cars with power-to-weight ratios above 200 HP per tonne can reach 100 km/h in under 5 seconds. Average sedans (100–120 HP/t) take 8–10 seconds. Electric vehicles often outperform their power-to-weight ratio due to instant torque delivery.
