As a boy I was fascinated by them and knew they could go 70 MPH briefly, but didn't know that they can go 0 to 62 in 3 seconds. The fastest car that I have read about is about 3.2 seconds as I remember.
A National Geographic film crew captured stunning slow motion footage of cheetahs running in excess of 60 MPH using a Phantom high speed camera filming at 1200 frames per second. The camera was mounted to a high speed track.
The cheetah can run faster than any other land animal— as fast as 112 to 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.
