Fathom’s 4.5s Goal Could Outpace Classic Speed Demons

Ford’s target of a 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds for the Fathom electric pickup would beat several classic high-performance cars listed by Jalopnik as slower: the 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe (4.9s), the E39 BMW M5 (4.8s), the 2013 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible (4.8s; auto; manual can hit 4.5s), the 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage (4.7s), and the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP (4.6s). The piece positions the Fathom as quicker than these well-known performers if the 4.5-second target holds.
