    I don't know why a 3sec 0-60 time is especially impressive for an electric car - electic cars have been extraordinarily fast at the drag strip for a (very) long time.

    No, but 3s 0-100 km/h, top speed of 300 km/h is not common. I'm sure that the fairly standard transmission helps there.

    What's really important is how big is the battery pack, how long can it go on the track, and how much it weighs. I'd guess somewhere between 10-20 miles and 10-20 minutes.

    The sound reminds me of my LEAF and of racing EV karts!
