Getting from 0 to 400 km/h (249 mph) and back to a standstill as quickly as possible has become a hotly contested acceleration and braking benchmark for the world’s fastest hypercars. It’s not just a test of engine power and braking grip, it’s also an extreme test of traction control, ABS, active aerodynamics and suspension systems.
