The vehicle has been named the fastest rear-wheel-drive vehicle after subjecting it to a 0-to-60 speed test.
After recently reviewing the 750S coupe, Car and Driver reported that it can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds. The outlet claimed that it's the fastest vehicle to achieve the milestone among four-wheel-drive vehicles.
The record-setting run to 60 mph is reportedly due to its "rollout burnout" function, a feature that is activated when the vehicle's stability control is turned off while the driver adjusts the throttle. The function also lets the engine spark a boost midway drive, followed by the torque on the rear tires.

The lighter curb weight of the 750S, which was 3,206 pounds, made it possible for the vehicle to reach 60 miles per hour in just 2.3 seconds.
