Fastest AMC cars 0-60 mph
Top 16 fastest AMC cars from 0 to 60 mph. Updated June 2025.
0-60 mph acceleration time is most well known performance figure in United States and closely matches its European analogue - 0-100 kph time.
Today the 0-60 mph times are dominated by all wheel drive supercars with advanced launch control or electric cars with 4 wheel drive.
With enough engine power, 0-60 mph time becomes function of tyre traction - the more mechanical grip in tyres and more "linear" the initial power delivery, the better the 0-60 mph times.
Heavier cars with good 4 wheel drive system can still outmatch lighter sports cars with better power to weight ratio.
