The current non-prototype (/production car) record holder is the 918 Spyder with 2.2s (and a slightly higher base MSRP of $845000)

Although they're already sold out, so you'll have to pick one up on the used market. ;)
And that used price will most definitely be increasing as a 918 recently burnt up.

And, for reference, top fuel dragsters can do 0-100 km/h in like ~0.3s.
Hence the emphasis on production cars, once you get into special racing or one-offs it's meaningless: you can just strap a soon-to-be-dismantled body on a rocket sled and launch it at 50+G.
