Data isn't driving. This data can help to enhance a decision or compare vehicles, but test driving and experiencing the cars is the best way to get a feel for any of these vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cars are in the database?+
Over 1,500 vehicles across 12 categories including sports cars, supercars, hot hatches, muscle cars, performance SUVs, super wagons, grand tourers, sports sedans, vintage cars, and luxury performance vehicles.
What performance data does ApexCarDB track?+
0-60 mph, quarter mile time and trap speed, 0-100 mph, top speed, 60-0 braking distance, 0-100-0 time, 60-130 rolling acceleration, horsepower, torque, curb weight, power-to-weight ratio, fuel economy, and owner ratings for satisfaction, reliability, value, comfort, and features.
Is ApexCarDB free to use?+
Yes — completely free, no ads, no paywalls, no account required.
What is the fastest production car 0-60 in the database?+
Among EVs, the Lucid Air Sapphire and Tesla Model S Plaid both achieve approximately 1.9 seconds. Among combustion-engine cars, the Bugatti Chiron records a 2.4-second 0-60 time.
What is the difference between DCT, PDK, and a standard automatic?+
A DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission) and PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) use two clutches allowing near-instant gear changes with no power interruption. A traditional automatic uses a torque converter and is smoother but typically slower to shift. DCT/PDK generally produce better 0-60 and quarter-mile times than comparable traditional automatics.
What does trap speed mean?+
Trap speed is the velocity at the end of a quarter-mile run in mph. It directly reflects peak power output — higher trap speed means more power reaching the wheels. It is often a more reliable indicator of raw power than 0-60 time, which can be affected by launch control and tire grip.
Which hot hatch is the fastest?+
The Mercedes-AMG A45 S is one of the quickest at 3.9 seconds 0-60 with 421hp AWD. The Honda Civic Type R and Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R are the fastest front-wheel-drive hot hatches. Use the Hot Hatches filter above to compare them all.
How is the Performance score calculated?+
The Performance score (out of 50) uses 11 weighted metrics: 0-60 (19%), quarter mile (10%), 0-100 mph (8%), top speed (9%), braking distance (10%), 0-100-0 time (9%), 60-130 time (7%), power-to-weight (8%), horsepower (7%), trap speed (6%), and torque (3%). Manual transmissions receive +1 point, standard automatics −1 point. Combined with owner ratings gives a Total /100.
What is a good power-to-weight ratio?+
Power-to-weight is expressed as pounds per horsepower — lower is better. Under 8 lbs/hp is strong for a street car. Under 6 lbs/hp is supercar territory. Top entries in the database include the Koenigsegg Agera RS (~2.7 lbs/hp), Bugatti Chiron (~2.9), and Caterham Seven 485R (~2.9).
