Sometimes you don’t need miles of road to experience the thrill of a really fast car. When you’re behind the wheel of a car that possesses incredible acceleration power, even short straightaways can provide a driver with the time of their life. The short distance of a quarter-mile has long been the gauntlet by which a car that claims to be fast is put to the test, and in the world of production cars, there is an exclusive club of incredibly performing automobiles that can cover the quarter-mile in ten seconds or less.

Cars that dominate the fastest quarter-mile possess the greatest innovations, ranging from 16-cylinder engines, to the most advanced hybrid systems, to electric powertrains that deliver torque like you’ve never seen before. Because every entry on this list is a 10-second car, building the fastest quarter mile car requires pulling all the stops. To help you out, here are the top 10 fastest quarter-mile times of production cars. As Fast & Furious' Dominic Toretto said, “I live my life a quarter-mile at a time… nothing else. And for those ten seconds or less, I’m free.”
