Formula One F1 0-60 Times

formula-one-race-cars

Formula 1 cars are some of the fastest and radically accelerating vehicles on Earth and are considered by many car enthusiasts to be the pinnacle of motorsports. Today’s F1 0-60 times are exponentially faster than predecessors of even a couple decades ago. Formula One race cars have been recorded to reach 0-60 as fast as 1.6 seconds, however the typical range for modern day F1 cars is between 2.1 to 2.7 seconds. The 2007 Honda RA107 f1 race car goes 0-100 mph in a blistering 4 seconds flat.  The 2015 Infiniti Red Bull RB11 Formula One race car jets 0 to 60 in only 1.7 seconds, and perhaps even more impressive can reach 190 mph in under 10 seconds.  Although top fuel dragsters hold the top spot for fastest accelerating race car class, the F1 race car boasts a range of superior performance stats. F1 0-60 times are extreme, however so are their ability to perform incredibly tight high speed maneuvers, decelerate and reach impressively high top speeds. Under hard braking or cornering a typically F1 car will pull 4g’s, which is over 4 times as much as a 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 would do which produces a max of 1.03g in hard cornering. The power to weight ratio of F1 race cars would actually allow for better performance, however current traction technology limits the capability to improve these current stats. Most F1 cars weigh around 1,300 pounds with the driver and boast over 750 horsepower. In other words, the power-to-weight ratio of formula one race cars is credited for the spectacular acceleration.

If you can’t afford a million dollar Formula One race car and want to experience these mind crushing F1 acceleration times; we recommend buying a high performance sports bike such as a Yamaha YZF-R1, Ducati 1199 Panigale S or a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R (considered to be the one of fastest production street bikes). If you don’t feel safe on merely two wheels then a radically powerful Lingenfelter enhanced Corvette should give you a good idea of Formula One acceleration, at a fairly tangible price.  We look to the future with anticipation to see what the genius Formula One engineers can do to improve upon these incredible machines.
