The core driver is power-to-weight ratio (horsepower per ton). A physics-based kinetic-energy floor sets the theoretical minimum, then drivetrain, tires, road conditions, and gearbox adjust it toward a realistic estimate.

AWD puts power down most efficiently at launch with the least wheelspin. RWD cars with high power risk wheelspin off the line. FWD is limited by torque steer under hard acceleration.

This is a physics-and-empirics-based estimate, not a dyno result. Real-world times depend on launch technique, tire grip, altitude, and the specific car's gearing, so treat this as a reasonable ballpark.

Electric motors deliver maximum torque instantly from 0 rpm, with no gear-shift delays, while combustion engines need to build revs and shift gears to reach peak power.
