Although two other street-legal hypercars are faster in a 0-60-mph sprint, Motor Trend found the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S to be the quickest vehicle from 0 to 30, 0 to 40, and 0 to 50 mph in acceleration testing.

On November 2 at Auto Club Speedway, in Fontana, California—Motor Trend's routine testing site—the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S reached those early split times in less elapsed time than anything previously tested by the magazine.

Only the 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari and 2015 Porsche 918 Spider have been quicker to 60 mph from a standstill. Still, both vehicles had slower initial acceleration than the 911 Turbo S (see chart below).

Editor's Note: Not long after we said goodbye to the 911 Turbo S tester, we ran an exclusive First Test on the incredibly capable and record-breaking 2017 Tesla Model S P100D. That Model S variant has been added to the chart.

As such, the 911 Turbo S is hardest-launching vehicle we've ever tested. During the best acceleration run, Motor Trend's data-acquisition equipment registered peak longitudinal acceleration at 1.26 g at 18 mph, 1.19 g at 30 mph, and 0.69 g at 60 mph. On a subsequent run, the Porsche's meaty rear 305/30ZR20 103Y Pirelli P Zero N1's grabbed asphalt so effectively that the 911's front wheels temporarily left the ground as our tester tried to correct for the car's wayward heading.

And although the 911 Turbo S' maximum 580 hp (at 6,750 rpm) and 553 lb-ft of torque (at 2,250 rpm in overboost) might trail some other supercars, its relatively svelte 3,557-pound curb weight, rear-engine location, and all-wheel drive enable it to get power to the pavement that much more quickly.

The latest 991.2-generation Porsche Turbo S also produced a quicker 0-60 run than such vaunted supercars as the Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV, McLaren P1, Nissan GT-R Track Pack, Audi R8 V10 Plus, and the Tesla Model S P90D in Ludicrous mode.

More details on the $196,360 Porsche 911 Turbo S can be found in Motor Trend's full First Test, which is set to come out next week.
