About how quickly can a cheetah go from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 60 mph)?

The answer

Cheetahs are famous for top speed; their acceleration is the scary part. They can hit roughly 100 km/h (60 mph) in around three seconds, out-sprinting most sports cars off the line before tire traction becomes the limiting factor for machines.

Correct answer: About 3 seconds
