Impressive what only~134 HP can do in a lightweight vehicle.
I'd love to have ~the same HP/kW and a ~24 kWh battery pack, in a street legal < 2,000 lb. aero-efficient two-seat BEV.
It'd take a few more seconds to get to 100 km/h, but could still give 150-200 miles between DC charges.

...Students from the University of Stuttgart furthered that point this week by setting a new (unofficial) world record for the 0-100-km/h sprint.
The GreenTeam Formula students logged a time of 1.779 seconds in a proper two-way run. Driver Priska Schmid set the time at JadeWeser Airport in northern Germany. The previous record, owned by students in Zurich, was at 1.785 seconds.
The all-wheel-drive, open-wheel record setter has a 134-hp electric motor with a 6.62-kwh battery pack. It weighs in at just 352.7 pounds, leading to a power-to-weight ratio of 2.63 pounds per horse. That’s better than both the Bugatti Veyron and Porsche 918 Spyder.
The folks from Guinness World Records will confirm the time in a few weeks.
