New contenders join our Quarter Mile Kings

Johannesburg - It's been more than a year since we last published our Quarter Mile Kings list, and before you ask, no... nothing has taken down the McLaren P1. The Royal Highness and its 10.31 second quarter mile (402.3 metres) sprint have stood tall on the growing list of fast cars we’ve strapped our Vbox test equipment to, but we’ve added some hasty hardware to the log in that time.

Quickest of the new additions is Audi’s all-new R8 V10 Plus, which slots into sixth with a time of 11.5 seconds.

It’s also the fastest naturally aspirated model on the list by quite a margin. Mercedes-AMG’s GT S muscled its way to eighth, outdoing its predecessor, the SLS, by half a second.

At 12 seconds dead, Nissan’s latest GT-R just squeaks into the top 10 but, interestingly, couldn’t quite beat the less powerful 2011 version.

Varying weather conditions may have played a part, but we also think the new one’s smoother-shifting gearbox has had a slight effect on overall performance.

Sign of the times

Further down a trio of Jaguar F-Types have landed on nearly identical 12.3 second sprints, while a sign of the times sees hybrid technology leap up the list. BMW’s half petrol/half electric i8 whizzed its way into rarified company with a sub-13 second time. Audi’s uprated S3 Sportback claims the joint hot hatch crown at 13.3 seconds, but the new Ford Focus RS is just a tenth behind – an impressive figure considering it uses a manual gearbox.

All tests are conducted at Gauteng altitude using Racelogic Vbox performance testing equipment.
