I like cars. Hell, I'm American; I love cars. This is a bit old. gas2.org 2. The custom 1972 Electric Datsun: 0-60 mph in 2.95s The 1972 Datsun pictured above inspired this list, after we posted about it recently. Ultimately, I wanted to see if this custom-mod was really the world’s fastest car, and it didn’t disapoint at 2nd place. From the outside, you wouldn’t expect a high-performance monster, but this thing rockets from 0 to 60 in 2.95 seconds, taking a quarter-mile in 11.46 seconds with a 114.08 mph trap speed. The top speed of the car is estimated to be 130 mph. Unlike other cars on this list, the Datsun—even with expensive lithium-ion batteries—costs only $35,000.
