5 Four-Door Family Vehicles Quicker Than A C8 Corvette

Key Points:

• The original C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray remains a very fast and affordable sports car, with 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 11.2 seconds at 122 mph, despite newer, more powerful Corvette models overshadowing it.
• Several four-door, family-friendly vehicles can outperform the C8 Stingray in acceleration, including high-performance electric vehicles like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which matches the Corvette’s 0-60 time and has a quicker quarter-mile at a lower price.
• The Rivian R1T electric pickup truck and its SUV counterpart, the Rivian R1S, also beat the C8 Stingray in acceleration, with the quad-motor versions achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 2.6 seconds and quarter-mile times as fast as 10.6 seconds.
• Among internal combustion four-door cars, the BMW M3 Competition xDrive stands out by matching the Corvette’s 0-60 time and beating it in the quarter-mile, offering a practical yet high-performance alternative with a starting price under $90,000.
• The Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric SUV, with 1,139 hp, is the quickest SUV tested by Car and Driver, accelerating to 60 mph in 2.1 seconds and completing the quarter-mile in 9.5 seconds, significantly outperforming the C8 Stingray but at a much higher price point around $165,000.
