The Autocar Road Test first appeared in print in April 1928. Since then, thousands of cars have been given the treatment.
Our testing methods have developed over time, but our results with accompanying empirical testing, have remained rigorous and fiercely independent.
The £2million, 2013bhp Lotus Evija hypercar has smashed several records, cutting our established 0-200mph benchmark by a massive 40 per cent.
Its superiority is not as broad as you might think, though. As monumental as the Lotus is, it doesn’t actually take the crown of our 0-60mph test or 0-100mph test. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to discover the fastest accelerating cars to ever hit our timing gear.
Autocar’s landmark ten-page road test of the £2mil, 2013bhp Evija is in the 30th July print issue of Autocar, on newsagents’ shelves today, which is also available in digital form here.

Long gone are the days when 0 - 100 in 17 seconds was pub bragging rights....
After seeing Matt Priors face after he hit 200mph and the effect it had on him I don't think I'd want a car this fast, I think your health might suffer, you might find out your heart can't stand the G' force and ultimately I think you get bored with it.
