Those acceleration figures are meaningless. The Chiron isn't the best car on a circuit for example. I would be interested to see this car compete against say a gt3 on a track like Nürburgring :)
Circuit performance is meaningless. I'd like to see the gt3 accelerate to 100km/h under 2" for example :)
I mean what's interesting is handling, behavior in curves, power consistency, steering accuracy. Weight could be a drawback. Acceleration isn't the only metrics. Those are some reasons Porsche is considered to be making good cars.
Drag racing is meaningless? I totally get that you might not personally like it, but meaningless?
Rolling acceleration and track handling are more important than Drag racing. Bit fed up of 0-60 times being such an important feature. 50-70 more important, handling a bit more important again. And of course for most people build quality, running costs and environmental credentials.
Environmental credentials are important for supercar buyers?
"Why choose when you can have both?"
The car also has record-setting 0-100mph times. And I'd argue for most uses, 0-45mph is more important, and all electric cars pretty much do awesome there.
> and all electric cars pretty much do awesome there
The Chevy Bolt with its 6.5 sec 0-60 begs to differ.
A friend of mine who owns a Leaf and a BMW 3-series was impressed that the Leaf was amazingly quick from a dead start... up to low speeds. The Bolt is faster than a Leaf, so there's your awesome, at least from my BMW-loving friend.
